HDX054​​​-​​​23 : PAINT THE SKY RED 'tamat' Cassette

'TAMAT' is our fourth and final album. It is a word from our native language, Malay, which means 'the end', 'completed' or 'finished'.

In ‘TAMAT’, we bid a heartfelt farewell to our own creative journey with a sense of closure and gratitude. We hope the songs from this album will provide solace to those navigating their own endings and new beginnings.

Before we call time on our journey as a band as well, we hope to perform to audiences anywhere in the world as much as we’re able to. Every performance from now will be treated as if it’s our last. We look forward to seeing you at our next show.

Thank you for your kind support all these years.

Every journey has its end. Tamat.

HDX051​​​-​​​​​​​23 : FUSE 'This Segregation Will End' CS

“Lion City Hardcore. "This Segregation will end" a 9-song 12" EP created by FUSE from Singapore is 100% hardcore concentrate. I don't need to mention similar sounding bands, influences or FFO type shit. FUSE bring a contemporary stab at a classic style while injecting their own unique worldview. You've heard hardcore like this before, you like hardcore like this, self described as "punked up hardcore, hard but not like those tough guy hardcore bands", they produce 8 songs and an intro that are worth your time (personal favorite is "Poison"). Music aside, because hardcore is so much more than what you play, it's how you play, and more importantly it's the reasons why you play. The Extracurriculars - FUSE never miss an opportunity to shout out their local scene, they put energy into building up their hometown, and they support their peers. Bottom line, they fucking care about creating their own space for themselves and their friends and that's all I want in a hardcore band.” - John Scharbach, Give & Shining Life Press 

FUSE formed as a 5 piece in 2017 and released a 2 song promo tape the same year. It's 2020 and they return with a new drummer to deliver 7 new songs in addition to "Poison" and "Deceit" from their 2017 promo. This masterpiece was recorded at 416 studios, mixed to perfection by Tom Howard and mastered by Will Killingsworth. The record is rounded out with art and layout by the infamous Nicky Rat.

HDX048​-​​​23 : COMPULSION TO KILL 'Exhumed Carcass Of Reality' CS

HDX048​-​​​23 : COMPULSION TO KILL 'Exhumed Carcass Of Reality' CS

Formed in 2006 in Sabah and later relocated to Kuala Lumpur, Compulsion to Kill (CxTxK) are one of the most prolific and unapologetic bands in Malaysia’s recently thriving mincegrindviolence scene. They’ve been particularly active this past year, releasing a split with Blackfire, an EP called Peninsular Grindviolence, and the album we’re talking about today, Exhumed Carcass of Reality.

Currently being a trio, they deliver a surprisingly full yet compact sound. These 22 tracks of brutal political grindcore with a touch of powerviolence will leave you wanting more of the same—very deep growls, original and non-repetitive riffing and a drummer every grind band should envy; timely, ridiculously fast and of course a lot of double bass drumming with a constant onslaught of perfectly placed blastbeats. You won’t get tired of the growls as the vocalist changes his technique frequently and delivers some pretty decent shrieks and mid-growls as well.

There’s also a slight Japanese chaotic style grind influence—bands like Gore Beyond Necropsy, Unholy Grave and Damage Digital come to mind, but most of all their own cult noisegrind compatriots Torture Incident (RIP), with whom they once shared some members. All around, CxTxK’s latest album is the perfect grindviolence album—lyrically, conceptually, thematically and last but not least, its production is miles ahead compared to their previous efforts. And let’s not forget the copious amount of reverb they use on everything, which makes you feel like you’re being mercilessly tortured in some Mexican cartel warehouse.

Released on vinyl by Shitresist Records, on cassette by Hardcore Detonation and digitally by the band themselves, get yourself a copy and if you want more brutality of the same kind—check out their EP from the same year Peninsular Grindviolence, their splits with Needful Things, Rottingrex, Tools of the Trade and also the aforementioned, now sadly deceased connected band Torture Incident, also from the same great scene. You will not be disappointed.
