Heatseeker Illusion of Will EP

Damn, this really smokes! HEATSEEKER goes off like a guided missile, set to blast your stereo to bits. Six unrelenting tracks of raging punk that blends elements of Swedish hardcore with youth crew, “capital H” hardcore, including moshy breakdowns and backing gang vocals. Not the kind of thing I ordinarily gravitate toward, but the riffs cannot be denied. When ripping through the D-beat parts, it’s just pure fist-pumping nastiness. And they totally nail the breakdowns. I bet kids lose their minds at HEATSEEKER gigs. “Echo Chamber” is my personal favorite here, but there’s not a dull moment to be found. Warsaw hardcore for the win!

Heatseeker Infected Society LP

This LP goes so hard! Unrelenting, aggressive, riff-y hardcore that falls somewhere in between VIOLENT REACTION, BOSTON STRANGLER and LOCK. Nearly every song has a moshy breakdown at the end, and a few even have some divebombs and sneaky guitar solos. The vocals are low and gruff, reminiscent of NEGATIVE APPROACH.
