Heavy Discipline: S/T 12″ Blue Vinyl

Description

Arriving in 2019 from the city of the living dead (thats Pittsburgh), Heavy Discipline are back with their debut 12 of hardcore patterned in the classic X-Claim! mold and walking the line between anthemic and brutal. Lyrically of the moment, but musically timeless, these 12 songs are a constant tug of war between thrashing precision and the threat chaotic collapse.

Our take: Painkiller pressed this Pittsburgh bands demo to vinyl a while back, and now theyve given us their debut LP. Painkiller has been a go-to label for modern bands modeled on the early 80s Boston hardcore tradition, and Heavy Discipline is a perfect fit. This is one of those records that is so perfectly executed that you could trick a poseur into thinking its a long lost release from the X-Claim! Records catalog its like 50% Kill for Christ, 50% Get it Away, and 100% killer. And while the production is right on the nose, the songwriting doesnt feel like a mere pastiche of Heavy Disciplines influences. Recommended for fans of X-Claim! Records, the first Boston Strangler LP, Sam Adams, and baked beans.
