Destroy the Machines

Destroy the Machines cover art

The Syracuse, New York outfit released an incredibly heavy, profoundly influential foundational text for both the metalcore subgenre and the militant straight-edge hardcore movement. Karl Buechner's fiercely aggressive, politically charged vocals passionately advocate for animal rights and environmental extremism over massive, chugging metallic breakdowns. The remarkably uncompromising, deeply polarizing record sparked massive cultural shifts within the 1990s hardcore community.
