SLANT (KOR) MEDITATION

SLANT (Seoul, South Korea)
…”a vicious slab of modern HC with its influences firmly rooted in the classics of ’80s American hardcore. While this is a snotty, stomping blast from start to finish, I find it’s the lighter touches on this record, like the squealing, STOOGES-esque guitar solos that tail-end a lot of the choruses. While this isn’t hardcore that’s reinventing the wheel, it’s a fucking good ride; SLANT is clearly an act that is just itching to get back to touring and playing live, I have no doubt they could tear a venue to shreds.” – Benny Mathews – MaxRnR

MEDITATION (Groningen)

Meditation, hailing from the heart of Groningen, forge a raw, unapologetic path through the realms of hardcore, power violence, death metal, and beyond. The different musical backgrounds of the band members allow them to both embrace and transcend genre conventions, creating a sound that’s equally loose and tightly structured. Above all, Meditation is a force of unadulterated energy so catch them live for a full embodiment of the band’s intensity.
