Old Wounds

"Dead Beat Blues"

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Jul 29, 2014

While Old Wounds will apparently have a new full-length out for us sometime in 2015, the New Jersey hardcore crew will be crushing us ahead of time with their fall-scheduled Death Projection EP. Better yet, the band are giving us the set's gruesome thrash attack "Dead Beat Blues" right now.

Following the crackle of feedback and an intro mixing tough guy grunts with hellish, Slayer-style hammer-ons, the troupe thrust into an arrangement big on full-throttle beats, fierce screams and heavy, chugging licks. You can throw down to the tune's closing mosh section by giving it a stream down below, courtesy of Revolver.

The rest of the band's Death Projection arrives September 16 through Good Fight Music.
