Description

New York’s Hiretsukan can claim the dubious distinction of being the only G7 band we ever actually begged to get back together after they temporarily called it quits in 2002 shortly after their acclaimed first release “Invasive/ Exotic”.

The end result of our embarassing grovelling is “End States”, a 10 song barrel of unexploded monkeys that expands on the ripping, lurching, dark, distinctive brand of hardcore that put them on our Christmas list in the first place.

Have you ever played Doom 3? If you have, you may notice that Michelle’s throat-shredding, over-the-top vocals bear an eerie resemblance to those gigantic demons that throw fireballs and scare the fuck out of you everytime you enter a new room even though you fucking know they’re coming. Fuck THAT.

Recorded by legendary New York hardcore producer Don Fury (Agnostic Front, Born Against, Citizen’s Arrest, GG Allin, Burn)!
