Hemorage

Hemorage is an exciting hardcore punk band from San Francisco who are seemingly unafraid of letting their sound descend into pure chaos. Filled with crazed solos, powerful riffs and a general love of destruction Hemorage is a fun listen to say the least. Their sound is distinctly unpolished and I get the feeling they're proud of that. It gives the music a certain punk beauty that is especially apparent on the manic Pariah with its screeched vocals barely keeping time. Yet their is also a more epic side here, found at the edges of the music like on the intro of Reconstruction from Self Destruction. More importantly though, the sheer energy present here is like a raw nerve, the second you turn Hemorage onto the max you know you're in for a wild and scary ride that will rip your head off and toss it into the circle pit. The one issue I might have had, that the songs were too short to communicate a message, is also vanquished by the fact that the majority of the tracks are surprisingly long (more than 3 minutes) yet never fail to lose their punk energy, even as they descend into one of their more epic breakdowns. In short, if you're looking for a heavy punk band to throw your neck out headbanging too Hemorage is the band for you.
