ROT-044: MERCY - GROW TO DIE CS

More speed thrash mayhem from New York's MERCY, following up a ripping debut cassette released on the superb Sound Grotesca label. With member resumes including MIRAGE, CROSS, ARMY, SAVE OUR CHILDREN, AMMO, OXIDO and more, you know you're in for pure chaos. Grow To Die builds on the sonic intensity of the band's previous tape with great success. A manic ride of whirlwind chaos. MERCY is not a band to sleep on - they will awake you from your slumber incredibly rudely and you will not be prepared for it.

Released in the United States by ROACHLEG RECORDS - if you are based in North America, order through them!

Physical tapes are expected to start shipping out in early November. Please bare this in mind and be patient. Thank you!

ROT-047: SIGHTLINE - S/T CS

The debut cassette from new Leeds rockers SIGHTLINE, joining the ranks of all the new exciting Hardcore bands coming out of this city at the moment. Comprising members of DRAFT DODGERS and APERTURE, this tape delivers a brutal punch to the stomach. The low-tuning and the loud, raw production values gives the band a real aggressive Metal-Punk sound. See-sawing from fast, negative riffage to slow, dirging scummy bile - think PUBLIC ACID meets HOAX. If that doesn't sound appealing, you're simply a lost cause.

Physical tapes are expected to start shipping out in early November. Please bare this in mind and be patient. Thank you!

ROT-048: STATE ENEMY - DEMO 2026 CS

Busting straight out of Kortrijk, STATE ENEMY are the newest band on the block in the new wave of Belgian Hardcore, alongside LISTED by @brainrotter_records

ROT-046: ONE BY ONE - 7 Tracks CS

The second band released by BR to be named after a tune off POISON IDEA'S seminal Kings of Punk LP (TORMENTED IMP being the other). These Brighton bad boys, however, offer up pure Darby Crash Rides Again/Pick Your King-era worship. Comprised of members of WARHEAD 97, SCAB, BODY BAG, LAST AFFRONT and LABRYS among others, 1x1 nail down the early POISON IDEA sound to a T, right down to the wire. Rough, raw and snotty in all the best ways. For fans of...take a bleedin' guess.

Now streaming on Bandcamp, with physical preorders open on Bandcamp and BigCartel. Tapes are due to start shipping out late September. taken in Brighton, England, UK by @brainrotter_records
