Spiritkiller will make you move, but leaves behind the mosh-heavy content and instead focuses on the dynamics and coherence that was so prevalent in 90's hardcore. The band carefully aims to lock you into a groove with the use of solid drumming and catchy strings. Topping it all off is the mission to get some lyrics stuck in your head and ultimately view the music as a chance to promote some self-awareness. Featuring members of: Hundreds of AU, Endicott, Lariat, At War With Shadows, Black Kites, and more, this is thoughtful hardcore. This is Spiritkiller from Albany, NY.

“No nonsense hardcore with a punch and a pulse.” That’s how Scott Vogel (Terror, Buried Alive) introduces Bad Blood, the newest project featuring the esteemed vocalist. The band formed in Buffalo, NY after tossing around the idea of playing music together with guitarists Eric Ellman (They Live, Violent Way) and Mason Hutchins (Violent Way), bassist Greg Vinal (Exhibition), and drummer Nick Terlecky (Violent Way). The result is the five brutal tracks that make up The Bad Kind Decides EP, set for release on Flatspot Records. The songs were laid down live with producer Jay Zubricky at GCR studios and mastered by Will Killingsworth at Dead Air studios. Taking influence from ‘80s hardcore bands like Warzone and Brotherhood, Bad Blood have created a fast, in your face sound with lyrics that deal with the negativities of reality. With the release of The Bad Kind Decides, Bad Blood is packing honesty in aggression that’s set to connect from your headphones to the pit.
