Song of the Day: Prisonknife, “Rated Break Point,” from Bitter Peace (Self-Released, 2016)

There's not much information out there about this German quartet, but this three-song EP appears to be their debut. Expect coarse yet hard-hitting metallic hardcore that's a great mix of the dark, explosive force of Integrity and the driving melodies of His Hero is Gone—with the slightest touch of old school Swedish death metal, perhaps? Overall, though, the material leans more heavily on the Integrity influence, due to both the lyrical direction and the general approach to the solos.

Bitter Peace was available on cassette (limited to 100 copies), but already sold out, so digital is your only shot now. I'm definitely curious to hear more, as Prisonknife is off to a great start here...
