Old people have been banging on and endlessly on about hardcore not being what it used to be since the dawn of the genre, and every now and then, especially when some new fad grips everyone by the testicles, you start to believe them. New Jersey quartet
Old Wounds run their fingers over a whole heap of things – sludge, chaotic mathcore, Integrity chug, dissonant Cursed-style crust – like a perfect date, seducing you with her digits.

here) throws you to the wall like a sudden earthquake. There's another record on the way - get stoked because Old Wounds make hardcore alright again, not that it ever wasn't.
