<br />
Kingpin was a Massachusetts-based band active from 1990 to 1993 that took cues from NYHC, Melodic Hardcore like Verbal Assault, and Metal riffs to create an early incarnation of the "New School" style popularized by many bands throughout the duration of the era. In addition to a 7" titled <i>Holding Tomorrow </i>released on Suburban Voice records, the band also recorded 4 songs that were never released prior to the bands breakup, and have been floating around on the internet ripped from cassette tapes. Now, these songs have finally been remastered and packaged for a proper press on vinyl via Atomic Action records. The songs can be streamed <a href="https://atomicactionrecords.bandcamp.com/album/kingpin">here</a> through the label's bandcamp, and the 7" can be ordered through their <a href="https://atomicactionrecords.bigcartel.com/">webstore</a>.<br />

When Mean Season returned home form a European tour in 1994, they entered a studio to record one track. It's purpose was to serve as a preview for the vocal style that Aaron would be using on the upcoming 'Grace' LP. What followed with Grace was one of the finer and more unique sounding LPs of 90s hardcore, and with this one track, you can hear a bit of its evolution.</div>

It was quite an undertaking tracking down a physical copy of this tape to rip as the songs don't seem to be online anywhere else - save for another version of "Hardcore Pride" that appears on a Call For Unity comp - after exhaustive searching. Thanks to my friend Ogden for picking up the tape in Europe for me. 3 tracks of crushing late 90's death metal-infused Japanese Hardcore at it's finest:<br />

Something tells me that this post isn't really going to need much of an introduction. I've always heard that Slugfest put out three demo tapes during their time together. This post contains a 320k rip of one of them, and I'm always still on the hunt for the other two. I battled lots of tape hiss on this one, and it's still present, but reduced from where it was.</div>

North Carolina is slowly but surely becoming a powerhouse for up-and-coming hardcore with a strong sense of unity, excited new kids, and great bands. A handful of these releases do an awesome job paying homage to influences from the Early 90's that are sure to quickly become favorites for readers of this blog.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The newest North Carolina HC output is an incredible demo from Magnitude. Straight Edge hardcore in the vein of Strain and early Trial. It's awesome to see this style being played by a new band in 2017, as there aren't too many other bands trying to nail this sound. The songs are catchy and intelligent in a way that does a service for fans of this particular niche of hardcore while not being so specific to alienate those who aren't familiar or into the bands that Magnitude is influenced by.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can stream the demo <a href="https://xmagnitudex.bandcamp.com/releases">here</a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A handful of members of Magnitude also play in Search For Purpose, another awesome straight edge band from Charlotte, NC. Less moshy and more introspective than the aforementioned Magnitude demo, SFP's demo takes cues from Outspoken and Early strife, while their newest release, a two song promo tape, veers further into emotional and melodic territory with nods to bands like Drift Again. Either way, this band would sound right at home on the "Words To Live By, Words To Die For" comp, so if you're a fan of New Age Records early to mid 90's output, be sure to check this band out!</div>

<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Hailing from Cincinnati, OH, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/treasonohio/">Treason</a> was formed out of necessity. With hardcore roots going </span><span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">back decades, the band felt a sense of obligation to represent the hardcore community and give </span><span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">back to what has given them such memories and purpose. Formed in 2017, Treason has members of </span><span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Suffocate Faster, LAW, Culture, One Nation Under and Blood Has Been Shed, giving the band its </span><span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">own uniqueness both in sound and message.</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">“I remember coming up and buying anything New Age Records put out. Back in the stone age there </span><span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">was no internet or band camps. You bought records based on word of mouth and what the labels </span><span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">were pumping out. It’s an honor for us to be on releasing a record on a label that has given so </span><span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">much to our community and continues to share new bands with everyone” said Rich Thurston.</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">New Age Records founder Mike Hartsfield said, “I was so excited when Rich approached us as a possible home for Treason. We haven’t had many heavy hardcore bands recently on the label. Sometimes people forget New Age was the foundation for bands like Unbroken & Mean Season. We are thrilled to have Treason as part of the family”.</span></div>

In my endless quest to produce a decent sounding version of the Earth Crisis - Demo 1993, I finally got my hands on multiple cassette copies. I ripped each full tape to WAV files, isolated the best sounding version of each song, adjusted levels and remastered as a final group for continuity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In regards to Time Of Strife and whether it belongs as a part of this demo recording, I contacted Scott Crouse, and he gave me a rundown<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">:</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #222222;"> There are actually 2 versions of Time Of Strife. The demo was originally 9 songs, but we didn’t like that version of Time Of Strife so we never included it on any copies that went to other people. It was mostly clean vocals and musically pretty different than where it ended up on the Structure Records comp. So the short answer is no, I think the version you have was not done in the same recording session. I don’t know if the anyone has the “original” version anymore. I think only band members would have it and I’m pretty sure none of us even have a copy of that demo.</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can imagine, there are still limitations when dealing with 25 year old cassettes, but I think this is, by far, the best sounding version of the demo out there. For all the total nuts out there, here it is, in your choice of 320k mp3s or FLAC files.<br />

I'm sure you're all familiar with Chicago's early 90s heavy hitters, Everlast, thanks to their <a href="http://coregasm.blogspot.com/2008/11/everlast-drown-self-7-cold-war-7-comp.html">Drown The Self 7"</a> that was released on Chapter Records in 1994. This demo from 1993 is no less of a juggernaut, but has a bit of a more raw feel with the recording. It contains four tracks that were not re-recorded for the 7" or Cold War compilation.</div>

Don't finalize those "Favorite Demo of the Year" lists quite yet, as this late addition to the party for 2016 may tempt you to reconsider yours. xElegyx is a punishingly heavy new Vegan Straight Edge band from South Florida playing Metallic Hardcore in the "Edgemetal" style, specifically reminiscent of German bands like xMaroonx and early Caliban. Great stuff here, and along with bands like Castyoudown, Ecostrike, Drawing Last Breath, and Sandman, xElegyx is an awesome new addition to the boom of 90's-era influenced/metal-tinged hardcore that has been surging out of South Florida recently. The demo is streaming now and tapes will soon be available through U.K.-based label Rage Records.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can distinctly remember the first time I heard Undying. My friend had just gotten a shipment of new releases for his distro, and knowing how much I loved the Day Of Suffering CD, he heavily urged me to take a listen to Undying's 'This Day All Gods Die' EP. I went over to his house to pick it up along with some other new stuff, and it was the first thing that I put on in my car. That EP didn't just blow my mind, it splattered my brain throughout the interior of my car. The mix of thrash/black metal speed, the urgency and breakdowns of hardcore, and the melody of one of my all time favorite bands, My Dying Bride, was the absolute perfect combination for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the years, I happily booked and played many shows with Undying and was fortunate enough to see them play in multiple states and multiple countries. They never once disappointed me, but over the many years, the one thing that has always eluded me was the demo tape. That all changed quite recently when I finally acquired a copy from a pal like Rich Thurston. Another rip of this demo has floated around the internet for years being labeled as 'Demo 1999', but that is inaccurate. This Day All Gods Die was released in January of 1999, and recorded in August of 1998, so obviously, this demo pre-dates that. Just to be sure, I consulted James Chang, and here's what he had to say about the demo recording:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"<span class="_5yl5"><span>I remember that it was freezing when we recorded it. I recorded it in our practice space, and we couldn't leave the space heater on while recording guitars because it dropped the voltage on our amps and made them sound like shit, ha. The band started towards the end of 97 though, and we were together a bit before the demo, so I've got to figure early 98."</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="_5yl5"><span>Two downloads are below. One clean rip straight from the tape with no alterations, and a remastered version that I think sounds extra nice (both at 320k). Take your pick, or download both, whatever suits you.</span></span></div>

With an upcoming <a href="https://www.facebook.com/fortydaysrain/">.fortydaysrain</a>. reunion show on December 2nd in Worcester, MA and a discography cassette soon to be released on Blasphemour Records, this seemed like a good time to rip the Cannae demo.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After .fortydaysrain. parted ways with their third singer, the remaining members shifted gears a bit and started Cannae along with a member of Grimlock. This three song demo was recorded over the course of one night by Adam Dutkiewicz at Zing Studios. Track two, Screened In, also happened to be one of the final .fortydaysrain. songs.</div>

If you've been reading this site or had an affinity for 90s hardcore for long, I'm sure you're well aware of Conviction. They helped pioneer a distinct metallic turn in the realm of hardcore and straight edge in the early 90s. But before they went blazing down that trail, they went under the name Transmission.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In 1989, Transmission recorded and released a seven song demo tape that fit more in line with other youth crew bands of the era than the metallic fervor that would soon appear. Sometime after releasing the demo, Chris from Smorgasbord offered to put out a 7". Before the recording session could take place, Jim Winters moved in on bass (where he had previously filled in before), but he soon switched over to guitar to make room for Ron Mann as the permanent bassist. Of course, all of this also pre-dates the addition of Jonathan Pushnik as the drummer of Conviction.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Only one song from this demo tape, Statement Of Pride, would later find its way onto the Conviction 7" of the same name. Give it a spin, and hear the beginnings of the beast that soon came to be.</div>
