Germany? Check! Cyprus? Check! Italy??

Following the re-release of our debut EP “Adrenaline Shot” via EBM Records as a split with Peruvian thrashers Maze Of Terror last May and the beginning of the recordings for our first full-length album, we are stoked to announce a series of live gigs on Italian grounds this October.

The band stated:
“We are over excited about this tour! It's the first time we organize not just one but a series of shows abroad and the bands we are sharing the stage with are actually killer! Italian metalheads, we are ready to kick your asses, are you ready to kick ours?!”

Tour dates 2015:

SF Bay Area Thrash’N’Rollers Kill Ritual have made the unreleased track “Drop Dead Gorgeous” available for free download and streaming on SoundCloud and ReverbNation. Listen to the track below.

The song comes off their 2014 release “The Eyes of Medusa” as a thank you to all the fans that have supported the band the last few years. The song was recorded at Fossil Sound and engineered/produced by Kill Ritual guitarist Steve Rice.

Spanish Thrashers Angelus Apatrida are preparing for their upcoming 5th studio album, “Hidden Evolution”, to be released on January 19th, 2015 via Century Media Records.

After having recently announced a massive European tour together with Suicidal Angels and new labelmates Dr. Living Dead! in February/March 2015 as well as some special Spanish shows in January to promote the release, Angelus Apatrida are now revealing the album's artwork as well as a first album teaser video featuring various song-samples from the album.

Check out the “Hidden Evolution” album teaser below.

Thrash metal offsprings AMKEN will unleash their 1st studio effort, “Adrenaline Shot”, worldwide on November 30th, 2014. The artwork for the EP was created by Bill Hauser, who has previously worked with thrash metal acts such as Hirax and Ghoul.

The eraly nineties and mid-nineties were a revolutionary periode. A lot of American hardcore bands started to boom and the scene exploded once again. Bands like Biohazard, Sick Of It All, Madball, Pro-Pain and Cro-Mags grew and destroyed the European stages. It was at that time, that Hard Resistance started out.

After a while, European bands earned the respect they deserved. In fact, they established a true hardcore "Euro-scene" and European bands got dubbed "Euro-core bands" by international media and radio. Everyone was talking about it, everyone was into hardcore. Glorious days!
