The members of the passionate, fired-up younger hardcore band Damaged Vow met at a Connecticut present simply earlier than the pandemic. These guys now dwell throughout the Northeast, however they’ve labored collectively to faucet right into a honest, fiery sound that remembers the pressing and ferocious metallic hardcore of the ’90s. Should you join with the catharsis of present-day bands like Magnitude and Inclination, then Damaged Vow’s music will in all probability ring a bell.

Damaged Vow launched a few promising promo cassettes throughout the pandemic, they usually adopted these with the highly effective 2021 EP Sane Minds Finish. Now, the band has signed with Massachusetts hardcore large Triple B Data, they usually’ve introduced plans for his or her full-length debut Anthropocene. First single “1.5” is a livid, anthemic monitor about witnessing environmental collapse. They actually imply it. Right here’s what singer Tommy Harte says about each the tune and the album.

Yearly, we lose 1.5% of untamed nature to improvement, extinction, and basic human intervention. This tune is concerning the goal fact that humanity is squandering the privilege of the earth. This isn’t our dominion, and if we want to survive we should exist in concord with the earth and stop to view it as a foe to overcome.

When writing the lyrics for this album, I used to be closely influenced by bands who tackled all kinds of subject material in a cohesive and thought-provoking means. Timeless, Earth Disaster, Chokehold, and the extra political-leaning Bridge 9 bands supplied a variety of inspiration in that respect. The majority of songs on this report are about humanity’s relationship with the earth, the urgent difficulty of our time. The era this band comes from is one which by no means actually knew environmental peace and from a younger age has needed to grapple with emotions of doom, guilt, and confusion across the subject. I’m not a genius or an inventor or an issue solver, however I’m a human, in order that appeared the most effective angle to come back at it from. This report is concerning the anger that comes from watching these in energy fail to gradual our tradition’s ever-quickening descent into environmental and social destruction. It’s about feeling hopeless and nonetheless refusing to surrender hope. It’s about empowering the everyman, who has been taught to be at peace together with his powerlessness. However most significantly, it’s about not being alienated from your individual humanity regardless of the pressures of our tradition and civilization. It’s inside this humanity that we are going to discover the facility to affect the change essential to salvage what’s left of the world.
