2022
I won't even lie, I'm a total fanboy when it comes to Iron Lung Records. Aside from Iron Lung being one of the all time powerviolence greats at this point, their label is on a practically infinite streak of releases that at the absolute least I highly enjoy, and a lot of the time it's stuff that always makes my year end lists. New York band Persona's new MLP "Free Your Mind!" is definitely in the latter category, with 7 tracks of some of the most vicious hardcore I've heard all year played at absolutely insane speeds. The 7 songs on this record are absolutely relentless, boiling over like an erupting volcano of absolute hardcore/punk fury. This is easily some of the most urgent and sincere hardcore I've heard this year, and it's also some of the catchiest, and I find myself smashing that repeat button as soon as it's 11 minute runtime is through.
Rather than continue to wax poetic about how great this record is, I'd urge you to just have a listen for yourself. Anyone into raw, fast hardcore music should consider this an essential listen, it's just that damn good. I've included a stream via bandcamp below so you can hear this joint for yourself:
