Upcoming Releases

Dirt-bike-riding, gun-toting, hell-raising hardcore heavyweights, Ingrown, are back. Today Boise's loudest and most vicious export have announced their sophomore album, Idaho, due out March 7th via Closed Casket Activities and shared it's vitriolic opening track "Bullet."

"Bullet" follows last year's "Enemy" (which drew attention from Stereogum, Revolver, and provides one minute and forty-four seconds of unbridled aggression. The tracks rips from one blistering riff to another while vocalist/guitarist Ross Hansen sounds so eye-bulgingly pissed that you can practically hear the spit hearing the mic. This is properly unhinged hardcore and it's the perfect introduction to Idaho.

 

Recorded by Andy Nelson (Weekend Nachos, Inclination, Pain of Truth, Jesus Piece) Idaho pushes Ingrown's sound even further into the red. Through eleven songs in just 18 minutes, the album swings between pummeling heaviness and lightning fast speed, drawing on the technicality of death metal and thrash without losing the essential rawness of hardcore and powerviolence. Idaho is an ode to Ingrown’s home state and the indelible impact living there has had on the band members. There's guns, bikes, and self-reliance, but that’s just one side of Ingrown’s coin. The group’s genuine love for their local community and the people in it permeates Idaho, lending a surprisingly earnest and heartfelt touch to a record that also makes you want to smash your head through a brick wall.
