Pristina – Khe Sanh — Bombfarm, 2008

Pristina is a metal/hardcore outfit from Connecticut. The arrival of their latest EP, Khe Sanh, to my doorstep was a pleasant surprise, one that was not expected but is now appreciated. This group of individuals delivers a fairly heavy and burly concoction of metal-core. Their sound is quite gritty and raw and, well, very dirty sounding. At points I found myself recalling groups like Blood Has Been Shed (the very first LP), Deadguy, Bloodlet, and Disembodied. If this is your sound, then you'll probably be into these guys. Oh and they throw in a cover of "Nervous Breakdown," pretty cool.

Long before they were swept into the gravity of the Hollywood scene, frontman John Curry was already performing … Read more

The Bridges That We Burn
DC-Jam Records, Virgin (2026)

Ultrabomb just detonated. The Bridges That We Burn isn't some polite "heritage act" victory lap. It smells like a hand-rolled cigarette lit with a blowtorch in a damp Minneapolis alleyway. No reunion uranium glow here—just three lifers who’ve spent their lives in vans and aren’t interested in anything but the friction prediction. The DNA is legendary, but they aren’t coasting … Read more

Sweat

Tear it on Down
Vitriol (2026)

Tear It On Down is the third record from Sweat and it picks up where the last two left off. It's aggressive hardcore punk, but with a playful groove or swagger that really makes it feel uplifting, even when the content is not. Case in point: "Surveillance State," which rolls kind of like a call-and-response song, except that lead vocalist … Read more
