FORCED

LOCATION: NEW YORK, USA

FFO: BLACKENED HARDCORE, DOOM

so these guys have been kind of quiet lately. they released 2 excellent eps back in 2012 and 2013. didn't even know they were still around till I stumbled across this beast whilst rummaging through mountains of bandcamp shite. just gonna say I was damn excited when I found it. the first 2 eps brought several bands to mind. unearthly trance, lair of the minotaur(that post is coming), and black flag. all combined in a modern hardcore setting. well this full length kind of streamlines all those influences and even goes a little darker. scratch that. a lot darker. I know its early and I really need to listen a few more times but as of right now, its highly likely this makes my year end top ten. get on it.
