It's a good day to like hardcore

     Today, two new singles from Shai Hulud and Hatebreed have officially been released, making January 22nd a very good day for fans of metallic hardcore.
     Hatebreed, whose new album The Divinity of Purpose drops in a week, have continued the hype with 'Honor Never Dies' - a hardcore anthem this time with the added bonus of a second guitar portion. Fancy. The lyrics, even though they're typical Hatebreed ('I will stand by what I believe no matter what' etc.) are only part of the brutality 'Honor Never Dies' brings. Combine this single with 'Put it to the Torch', and Divinity is going to mosh your balls off. Get pumped.

      Shai Hulud have released the second single from their upcoming record Reach Beyond the Sun, this one entitled 'Human Failings'. To be completely honest, I don't like this one as much as 'Reach Beyond the Sun' (the title track). 'Failings' rambles on a bit, lacking hooks, but is nevertheless an intense hardcore ride from start to finish.

      Sorry I haven't been posting very often - it's been a bit of a hectic week, to say nothing of a slow time overall. Things should be back to normal this week, however, so stay tuned!
