Terror
Hardcore bulldozer Terror, fronted by Scott Vogel, is heading to this year’s Mighty Sounds for the second time. Terror are renowned for their efforts to keep the hard core and general scene in its purity. Vogel has etched himself in fans’ memories for his stage antics, passion for stade diving and maximizing it. Their thirteen-track debut, One With The Underdogs, sold a whopping forty thousand copies. Seven more albums have followed over the years, the most recent of which Pain Into Power was released in 2022. We’re looking forward to seeing these “keepers of the faith” kick it up a notch on Mighty years from now.
Blood Command
The Norwegian punk band Blood Command has been around since 2008, but it’s only now that they’re starting to be heard about. Many circumstances have contributed to this, whether it was line up changes or a covid after which the band reformed, went on tour with Kvelertak and became known to new fans.
The band’s main musical influences are The Clash, Refused, and, surprisingly enough, Boney M. And it’s not so surprising, the band relies on strong dance elements and guitarist and bandleader Yngve even describes the band as “a blissful mix of R&B, punk with a dash of disco and two percent metal”. Look forward to a proper mosh pit!
Locked Shut
Locked Shut is a hardcore punchline from Missouri that only formed in 2023. Less than two years have gone by in a river and already the band is being rumored in the backstage as an absolute sensation. Perhaps the most curious thing about Locked Shut is the fact that it’s fronted by Oliver Francis. He is no stranger to the world in his solo rap project. We predict a great future for Locked Shut, so be there for their very first performance in our country.
