Shirts & Destroy has a really nice limited edition Integrity shirt featuring the haunting artwork of Stephen Kasner. It was printed using discharge inks so I’m pretty sure the print will do the art justice. Kasner’s work should be familiar to Integrity fans, as it has graced the cover of their albums before. He has a book featuring his art titled Stephen Kasner, WORKS: 1993-2006, and is currently collaborating with Dwid and Jacob Bannon in a music project called Irons.

The 5 horseman of the apocalypse are upon us. May the gods have mercy on our souls. Amenra are about to unleash Mass IIII into the world, the follow-up to their crushing Mass III. If you like slow and heavy, have a “we’re all fucked, I need a soundtrack while I tie the noose” attitude, then look no further. The pre-order package that includes the shirt below is only available until May 15th so grab one before it’s gone.

Amenra shirt

From the Hypertension site: “The new album benefits from the band’s primordial quality for towering, spellbinding anthems, bashed repetitive chords fused with primitive and escalating power. Counting 7 new tracks, including “Razoreater” which has already become a staple in their live shows. Anonymous haunting riffs, grave and unconventional rhythm changes, surrounded by a mysterious and semi-religious vocal delivery that is ultimately threatening, AMENRA create a foreboding feeling of tremor through distressed trances of careful repetition. ‘Mass IIII’ is more focused than ever, heavier than ever, slower than ever. ”

Killing the Dream Fracture lp/shirt pre-order

From the Deathwish site: ” Fractures is Killing The Dream’s latest full length effort. Over a year in the making, Fractures was engineered by J. Robbins at Magpie Studios (Jawbox, Burning Airlines). When vocalist Eli Horner erupts with “…This isn’t what I hoped I’d have to say…” in “Part II”, listeners hair stands on end. The electrically charged atmosphere he creates with his emotion induces awe. From that point on Fractures explodes as a shrapnel filled musical force. Unorthodox heaviness and raw melodies cut and crack the abrasive surface in songs like “Consequence” and “Resolution”. While songs like “Holding The Claws” and Fractures showcase the band’s ongoing creative evolution. Proving that you can progress and mature within the hardcore world, without ever having to leave it behind.”

From the Deathwish site: “The Carrier are one of Boston’s newest and most interesting hardcore bands. Their brand of powerful melodic hardcore is the next chapter of evolution in their genre. Emoting with a goose-bump inducing fervor unlike any other band out there today.

No Love Can Save Me is the newest 7″EP release from The Carrier. Recorded by Jay Maas @ The Getaway Group (Meltdown, Shipwreck a.d.), No Love Can Save Me cries out with impassioned vocals and towering guitar melodies that sway and swell before crashing forth with explosive energy. Showing The Carrier at their most emotionally charged, while also hinting at the creative greatness looming close on their horizon”

Verse Aggression shirt/cd/poster pre-order package

From the Bridge 9 website: “Verse Aggression is a rare album. It’s not often that hardcore bands will make it to a third full-length, and it’s even less common that the third full-length is a band’s most desparate and angry album to date. Making their name well known simply by working harder than just about any band in hardcore over the last five years, Aggression is the culmination and intersection of that experience and a wide array of influences.”

The pre-order package includes:

* 1 Verse Aggression CD
*1 Limited Edition T-Shirt-Two color front one color back available only to this pre-order
*1 Limited Edition 24″ x 36″ poster featuring photography by Todd Pollack.
* 1 12″ x 18″ Poster

Verse shirt

Verse are experts at channeling their anger into some of the best impassioned melodic hardcore out there. I bought the digital download of the Story of a Free Man EP that is also up for pre-order at B9. It’s a 3 part narrative, over 6 1/2 minutes long, and it’s definitely some of their strongest material yet. I think Aggression is going to be a defining album for this band.

Judge Chung King Can Suck It

Congrats to my friend Monster Cody, the new proud owner of the holy grail of hardcore records: a Judge Chung King Can Suck It LP. With only 110 pressed, this slab of wax commands a hefty price tag. $3500 to be exact. Definitely a steep price to pay, but this beauty will be a proud addition to his already stellar hardcore record collection. Read all about it here.

In his honor I figured I would post some pics of Judge shirts. Some are still available, others long gone. I found some pics at Hows Your Edge of a bootleg Chung King shirt, as well as a number of other oldies. Visit How’s Your Edge and check them all out.
