Album Overview
Mindforce have reinvigorated our souls for the hardcore/thrash genre. No filler here, its 17 minutes of tight fresh trash that flys by.
MUSIC:
New Lords hits with 90's style hardcore thrash. The production is crisp, yet not over-produced, so it has an independent feel. If you love bands like Madball or Snapcase in their prime then dive into this one. Be sure to check out their previous albums as well.
VOCALS:
Jason Petagine was born to sing this style of hardcore as it comes natural. His vocals sound a bit like Sanpcase, angry and full of energy.

The art work in attracting, not that anyone would know it's a hardcore album.

Brew Pairing
Some good ol' DirtWolf by Victory Brewing. This 8.7% IPA is a bit strong with a fruity aroma and light bitterness. A great pairing with New Lords.
