THE BROOD Debut Vinyl LP Released

Hardcore punk from Philadelphia, THE BROOD were formed on a sweltering day in the summer of 2011 by four maladjusted humans who love playing loud angry music in dilapidated locales – because that is what punks do. Previous releases include the If Tomorrow Comes demo, Defective 7″, and October Dreams tape. In 2018, a local ripper joined their ranks on second guitar, bolstering their sound as a burly five-piece juggernaut.

For the Dark is THE BROOD’s debut full-length, recorded in the beginning of 2023 at Permanent Hearing Damage. This album reflects their fully honed attack, sharpened over the years in the practice space and onstage. These 12 songs combine blazing speed with pummeling mid-paced ragers, lyrics that drip with bitter fury, and an atmosphere of creeping dread. Influences include UK82, Poison Idea, Die Kreuzen, The Stalin, and Totalitar. Members of former / current bands include Lost Cause, Witch Hunt, Endless Nightmare, Caustic Christ, Mischief Brew, The Pist, and The Dissidents.
