Hardcore upstarts Year Of The Knife have announced their upcoming debut full-length, “Internal Incarceration”. The latter is due out August 7th from Pure Noise Records.
The Delaware-based band excels at crafting unrelentingly heavy, metal-influenced hardcore. With deeply human and socially- conscious lyrics. And “Internal Incarceration” takes these strengths to new heights.
Year Of The Knife are motivated by an attempt to maintain control over their circumstances in the face of life’s many hardships, including the loss of family and friends to addiction.
Madison Watkins (guitar and bass) explains: “Almost every straight edge person I know has been touched by loss. Those experiences can make you feel alone, but they’re something a lot of people within hardcore have gone through and can relate to.People that gravitate towards this music often have this darkness in their lives, but hardcore can be a beacon where they can find community and relief. It can be a really incredible outlet for getting that negativity out and finding people who understand you”.
