Geist - Sleep Deprived [Streaming Track] (2019)
Holy Christ. Geist has unleashed the first song from their upcoming album "Swarming Season". I was blown away by how good this sounds so I had to post about it. Based on this song alone, this will probably be my AOTY, depending on what Harrowed comes up with. If you don't know who Geist is, you need to go listen to the rest of their stuff on their Bandcamp page. If you like The Secret, Baptists or Hierophant, you will love Geist. And if you're a fan of Cursed, you should know that this new album features Chris Colohan with some additional vocals. "Swarming Season" comes out on September 20th and you can pre-order it now here. Enjoy.

GEIST - Son Of Sun Live Session (2016)
GENRE: Crust, Dark Hardcore, Punk, Metal
FFO: Cursed, Esoteric Youth, Worms Feed, Hammers
Geist fucking rules, seriously one of my favorite bands around right now. They have the perfect combination of hooks, anger and dark crusty production. The band features members of various former & current North East UK Bands, including End Reign & Cholera. They have made available their live session at Son of Sun Studios, and it is a must have. Generally I downright hate live recordings, even if they are done in a studio, because 99% of the time it just sounds like shit. But this is the exception, this is done right, and it captures the ferocity of the band perfectly. The session on Bandcamp is 5 songs, but there will be an extra track on the cassette, so be sure to order one of those if that's your thing, there are only going to be 50 of them. But for now, just play this shit as loud as you can.
GEIST - Faith Healing (2015)
FFO: Cursed, Worms Feed, Harrowed, Cholera
Featuring former members of End Reign (one of my favorite hardcore bands of all time), Geist is a 5-piece that hails from Northeast England. I'm a little late with this, but they released a 6-song EP earlier this year that you simply cannot pass up. This is a perfect example of mid-tempo hardcore punk, but tinged with a definite dark side. They do things that not many bands since Cursed have been able to pull off, and by that I mean this EP has riffs coming out of it's ass, agonized vocals, great lyrics and no nu-hardcore bullshit like a million blast-beats, unintelligible singing or other death metal clichés. This is just great UK hardcore. Plain and simple. It never gets repetitive, and there are even some atmospheric spots to this EP that remind me of Cursed again, think "Model Home Invasion" or "Gutters". If any of this interests you, grab this now and maybe buy a shirt to help them out. They recently ended a tour and it looks like the physical copies of the EP are sold out. But keep an eye out for some news in the coming weeks about a split they're releasing with a US band. And, if this doesn't interest you, please stop reading this blog immediately.
