Your Demise – The Kids We Used To Be…


Your Demise is a UK hardcore band that has already been around the block a couple of times. The first time I – and a whole mess of other people – heard of them though was with the release of 2009’s “Ignorance Never Dies”. It was one pissed off hardcore album that did Jamey Jasta proud. Shortly after that release, frontman George Noble was kicked out of the band and then replaced by former Centurion vocalist Ed McRae. It luckily didn’t affect the band’s sound. Something that’s proven as soon as opener “MMX” bursts out of the speakers and punches you straight in the face while yelling ‘Your Demise 2010 bitches’!

That song is quickly followed by “Miles Away”, probably the band’s best song to date. It’s powerful as fuck and comes with the kind of chorus that you just need to yell along. They manage to keep you all riled up throughout the rest of the album as well using a smart combination of thundering drums, crushing riffs and tons of spat out vocals, dipped in pure vitriol intermixed with the occasional clean vocals or some nice melodic riffage.

The best thing about Your Demise is that they aren’t doing anything new. You can pick on some Hatebreed as well as a fair amount of Comeback Kid to name just two bands… but these guys are bringing so much energy and enthusiasm to the table that you can’t help but get sucked in. More power to them!
Score: 8 out of 10
