“a voyeuristic vista into Fernow’s noise/metal Valhalla... celebrating the defiantly esoteric” - Village Voice

Founded in 1997 by Dominick Fernow simultaneously alongside his classic noise project Prurient, the legendary Hospital Productions is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.  In honor of the occasion, the label has announced a showcase at Brooklyn, NY’s Warsaw on November 5th which will feature appearances from extreme music pioneers Godflesh (performing their landmark album Streetcleaner in its entirety) as well as collaborative sets featuring Philadelphia’s Nothing alongside Jesu and Prurient.  M...

Epitaph and Deathwish are proud to announce “I Can Tell You About Pain b/w Eve” from aggressive music pioneers, Converge. This two song 7"EP/Digital release is the first new music from the band since their highly regarded 2012 album All We Love We Leave Behind. Upon first listen it’s apparent that Converge has evolved exponentially in those years; the raw emotion and anger of “I Can Tell You About Pain” is truly unsettling, while the seven and a half minute epic “Eve” shows the band pushing their melodic leanings to an incredible new level.

Today, the video for Converge’s...

Proper signed language uses a combination of hands, arms, and body movements, as well as facial expressions. This is more of a choreographed performance using elements of signing,...

After announcing their highly anticipated ‘Do Or Die’ LP,  Burn continues to fan the flames of anticipation with the release of the album's first single “Ill Together.” The four-and-a-half minute track never falters in the midst of its breakneck force - listen to “Ill Together” via Loudwire today. 

“Ill Together” reinforces the profound legacy that Burn has left on the genre that they helped to form. Galvanized by vocalist Chaka Malik’s vicious snarls and Gavin Van Vlack’s bold riffs, “IllTogether” serves as a modernization of Burn’s stripped-and-chewed hardcore. Carrying the momentum since their 2015 reac...
