#ThursDeath this week is a classic. This is 'Ritual of Infinity', the only full length released by Middletown, New York's MORPHEUS DESCENDS, in 1992.

This is the re-release that Dark Descent did in 2023. 'Ritual of Infinity' is a great, twisting, winding OSDM classic with tons of crushing guitar chugging, basslines, great drums, and cavernous, roared vocals.

My favorite punk album of the year so far. Can't stop listening to this one. It's just January, but this one's gonna be tough to beat in 2026. These are Buffalo, New York oi punks TAKER, and their new LP 'Sons and Daughters':

Oi but Ramones. I also hear All, Dag Nasty, Black Flag, maybe 7Seconds sometimes. Catchy, hooky, badass. A Guided by Voices cover and a Jenny Woo guest spot. 🔥

Great new catchy, brief, punchy EP by Brooklyn garage punks DR. DENCE. Almost has an Aussie pub rock feel, but like, yknow, in New York. It rips. Four great, fast, fuzzy songs.

Four fast, weird songs on this EP from 2025 via Buffalo's synth punk freaks HAVANA SYNDROME. Love the guy's voice, he sounds totally unhinged. I love singers that sound unhinged. 😂

This week's #MusicWomenWednesday is an intense one-- new EP 'Bite the Hand, Take What's Mine' by Buffalo, New York's BILE STUDY.

This is a sturdy about ten minutes of riffy, angry powerviolence (think punk and grind). Singer Delaney is extremely passionate about her family, as attested to in the last song, where she insistently screams about 'the people I love'. Killer shit.

One I somehow missed last year and may have even made my top 20 because of how damn good it is, NYC punks KALEIDOSCOPE and their LP 'Cities of Fear' that was written and recorded in just a few days in 2024. Some KILLER, catchy, rough, angry hardcore punk the way it SHOULD be. ffo MDC, Poison Idea, Crucifix.

There isn't a lot of 'revolt metal' out there, but there should be. Syracuse, New York's TOILER make exactly that on their new EP 'The Master's Tools', and that's why it's a killer #ThursDeath for this week. After a cool, chuggy/ambient intro track (THIS is how you make an intro track!) the other four songs grind and churn in all the right ways. There's crushing dynamics and grooves everywhere-- don't miss this one. It's mean as fuck.

Kinda rough Monday, and I think that calls for one more raucous wake up album. So, #NowPlaying is another cool recent find and another great album this year, 'Objects of Misfortune' by New York's TOP DOLLAR. This is some really well produced, tight hardcore punk. It's described here as Jerry's Kids meets Floorpunch, and that's fairly accurate. Sometimes I hear some MDC, even. Killer drums. Badass listen.

Listening to some fucking EXCELLENT hardcore this morning (something that's admittedly sometimes difficult to find.)

This is New York's MINDFORCE and they're fairly well known around in hardcore circles, I believe. This is their first LP 'Excalibur' from 2018 and it fuckin RIPS-- the breakdowns, lyrics, everything else. Definitely almost some Warzone feel & some general early 00s hardcore vibes.

#NowPlaying (yet again) - Thought I'd talked about New York's WILD PINK here, but maybe not. Thanks to @jeffrey I was alerted to this killer record juust barely past when I wrote about my favorites of last year. 'Dulling the Horns' is an amazing album. Imagine REM, Tom Petty, Weezer, Bob Dylan and Billy Joel all together somehow. Pretty sure @HailsandAles and @wendigo will dig this one, maybe I've already mentioned this to both of ya'll. Couldn't find it if I have. Anyway.
