The power in “dark” hardcore to us is the straight-up abrasiveness in the sound. The music holds nothing back in the sheer aggressiveness in the guitar tone (often drenched in something like the HM-2 OR even running through several distortion pedals into a high gain amp) and drum beats that run from blast beats to D-beats to almost sludge-pace beats…all of it under a vocalist whose screams are SO hard that it literally sounds like the throat is getting shredded to pieces.
Enter – Philippines’ GIBRALTAR.
The band has just dropped a 4 track live-in-the-studio session complete with video but, more importantly, amazing audio recording which captures the energy of the band. Apparently, the recording also includes 2 brand new tracks that will be off their upcoming full-length to be released next year.
Credits for the video go to the following:
