Richmond, VA's own crusty hardcore.

The new 7" from Richmond's Private Hell follows up their 2024 flexi single Wake Up Screaming with a continued exploration of the best elements of hardcore punk, death metal, thrash, and crust. The new release draws from classic bands like Sepultura, Integrity, Entombed, Anti Cimex, and Napalm Death to create a sound that blends the most powerful elements of heavy music into their singular sound. The songs touch on themes of addiction, the psychic warfare created by the rise of artificial intelligence, and struggling to find hope for the future in the modern era.
