Skourge is my hardcore AOTY by a landslide, don’t see anything topping it either. But beyond that: Bloody Flag C4/Worn split Jesus Piece Truth Cult Savageheads (this may have been 2022?) Never Ending Game Poison Ruin Enforced
I’m trying to remember what I’ve heard but my favorite so far has still been DRAIN I re-checked out the Zulu and I wasn’t feeling it as much as I did when I i initially heard it loved the Jesus piece, sunami, and judiciary I think the only one I was meh on was mspaint
I was just more trying to see some general lists of even hardcore faves from this year to see if I missed anything tbh Because I’m sure there is a bunch I missed
this is my overall 10 so far. hardcore specific is this: 1 - gumm 2 - drain 3 - jesus piece 4 - sunami 5 - mspaint 6 - initiate 7 - gel 8 - fucked up 9 - militarie gun 10 - wound man
Im still working out my midyear list, but I do have the hardcore/hardcore-adjacent bands highlighted on my list of all the albums I’ve heard so far this year.
So far this year in term of hardcore/adjacent, no particular order LPs: Initiate (aoty contender) Drain Destiny Bond Buggin Incendiary Militarie Gun Judiciary Envision EPs: Scowl Spaced One Step Closer Anklebiter
