Length: 20.0'

Host were a five piece band from New Hampshire who existed from 2010-2014.  Host played a scathing, venomous, and brutal as fuck style of blackened, metallic, and crust tinged style of modern hardcore.  Musically, Host can be loosely affiliated with bands such as Baptists, Dead In The Dirt, Centuries, and other like-minded bands.  Since their inception in 2010, Host have released a five song demo in December of 2010, a four track 7" titled There's Nothing Up There But Heavy Clouds in January of 2012, and a split 7" with post rock band KYOTY in January of 2012.  Death Will Claim These Tired Bones was Host's one and only full-length, which was released via Cricket Cemetery and Hydrogen Man records on May 1st, 2014.  On Death Will Claim These Tired Bones, Host offer up eleven tracks of devastatingly brutal hardcore.  Overall, Death Will Claim These Tired Bones was one of my favorite albums of 2014, and is definitely an album you don't want to miss out on.  Highly recommended!  Enjoy!  On a side note, members of Host can now be seen playing in Human Bodies and Symptom.

HOST - Death Will Claim These Tired Bones

HOST    ☼    FACEBOOK  ▼  BANDCAMP

Last summer, Boston's HOST, like all great bands eventually do, called it quits, leaving behind 12 songs of incredibly brutal, gritty, honest hardcore spread across 3 releases. They are still one of my favorites and you can read my obituary for them here, and download their prior records also. At the time, their debut full-length LP was basically done, but it's future was uncertain. Band members had seemed to move on to other things, playing in Negligence, Death Injection, Youth Funeral, Human Bodies & Guilt. Fast-forward to early 2014 and you have just hit the jackpot. Not only has their LP "Death Will Claim These Tired Bones" been made available for download, but a limited vinyl release is coming soon. 

Normally, this is the spot where a link would go for a free download. But, for this one you're going to have to cough up the $6. As their last offering to the world, all proceeds from this digital release will go to help the singer's fiancee Ana pay for the serious medical costs of her pancreatitis liver failure treatment. So, it's for a good cause for some good people, so just do it. Just take a listen below, this unreleased stuff is amazing and it's everything I expected it to be. Worth every damned cent.

Damn, June 21st sucked. Both Host and Narratives had their last show on that day. I really love Host. Dark, mean, ROUGH around the edges crust hardcore. They were from Boston and formed in 2010. They released a demo on cassette, a 7" EP and a split 7" with KYOTY. The music, vocals and mixing for what was going to be their full-length LP is finished, but plans for a release are indefinite. FUCK.
