VELOZ (ex-FURNACE; GENDERS) are a new hardcore band out of boston that have made a name for themselves very quickly following two intense U.S. tours just earlier this year. this, their first record, is a hardcore eruption of metallic d-beat frenzy, blazing riffs and unadulterated furor.
here these guys pound out six songs in under eight minutes, in what amounts to the sound of a regime overthrow crammed onto a seven inch. this EP will clobber you. VELOZ have definitely broken their own ground here musically, but if you're trying to pin them down i would say they occupy some frenetic space between the guts of DROPDEAD and the brains of BARONESS, and what an occupation it is!
this record is limited to 500 copies, and features screenprinted inserts, vellum lyric sheets, and gorgeous full-color covers courtesy of BRANKO VRANIC.
in case you were unaware, VELOZ ARE ON TOUR RIGHT NOW! and if you're lucky enough to live in any of these towns they're playing, go and see them, scratch your head a couple times and pick this record up in person! the road is tough on bands; it pisses girlfriends off and eats transmissions whole, and so these guys could definitely handle seeing some friendly faces.
support diy hardcore!
