Now streaming: Italy's INFECTION CODE "Dissenso"

Our latest addition to the records being streamed at www.gotanerve-zine.com is INFECTION CODE.
The nihilist industrial noise mongers quartet formed around the end of the 90's in Alessandria and has just released, on March the 2nd, 2018,  their new 8-track album  "Dissenso" through Argonauta records.
The band mixes some dusturbing, nerve-wrecking, noise industrial metal with a hardcore edge to it and because of the use of the Italian language, vocal-wise, they kind of remind me of Marlene Kuntz, early Disciplinatha, RSU, and many Italian hardcore punk bands (the list would be too long and definitely boring).

Stream HERE the full record "Dissenso"

HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS new album "Bad Frequencies" out on Pure Noise records

That's some great news, emo post-hardcore lovers from Ohio HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS are back with a new full-length album...

Hawthorne Heights is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of “Bad Frequencies“, the band's first full-length album since 2013 and first release on Pure Noise Records. Hawthorne Heights are giving fans the first taste of the new 13-track album with the release of “Pink Hearts.”

On the song, Singer and Guitarist JT Woodruff shares “If we try, we can stay young forever, but I'm not sure we actually want to. “Pink Hearts” is about burning through relationships, because you are selfishly just having fun when you are young. Eventually you have to wake up and grow up, and hope that you haven't cut someone too deep.”
