For this week’s Core Breakdown we are taking a trip to Rhode Island.
From the land of Pawtucket comes Locked Away, sharing a new song off their upcoming EP The Nails (releasing next Tuesday). The featured track, “Sever”, gives off chugging metallic tones with a metalcore vibe. The instrumentation provides a dense and dark aura that carries a weight and Hatebreed-like tinge to it. This sound is more evident in their previous EP (released last year). That work displays more of the band’s ability to play at faster tempos and deliver more of that metallic crunch. The vocal work is more of that blunt and in your face hardcore style we all know and love, pissed off and steaming away with pulsating anger.
You can stream “Sever” below, and listen to the band’s first EP here. You can also find the band via Facebook. Let us know your thoughts on Locked Away, and keep an eye out for more features on The Core Breakdown covering New England hardcore.
