HC4L058 Oaken - Untitled LP 12" (2021)

Finally the new Oaken´s album. Band from Budapest recorded this one after almost 5 years and the great King Beast 12" on Alerta Antifascista Records, the new one comes with two songs. Even more blastbeats, doom and death metal packed into hardcore punk attitude. The energy of Catharsis, the mystique of Fall of Efrafa the speed of the Alpinist and with great lyrics from both songs all accompanied by a synth.

First song 'Thrust' was loosely inspired by the case of a serial killer named Ahmad Suradji and second one 'Barbarian' was inspired by Emiliyan Stanev's novel Antichrist.

Definitely their best and most mature release and one of the most original European hardcore / punk records this year.

Black & gold Vinyl limited to 100 with fancy lyrics sheet.

Recorded in SuperSize Recording 2018

co - released w/ Dingleberry records and distribution ILL WILL records, 9 LIES , Tortured Tree Productions, Itai Itai records

HC4L061 Nailed In - Shovel LP 12" (2021)

Finally good news, due to the C-19 things slowed down a bit but now it is official that the first 12" NAILED IN will come out and that´s their second release on Hardcore For The Losers. My former band continues with a proven formula, a Boston school that will remind you like listening to Out Cold / Psycho Split 7" from 93 or like the newer No Tolerance. Energy and aggression can be heard every second, for all fans of Devoid of Faith or Voorhees this will be the right choice. Definitely a good sequel to the discography and they continue with aggressive hardcore punk hammered with the critical lyrics against religion, state and society. Straight outta Zagreb.

Details and a date around the release will be announced soon, but it is expected in May.

HC4L034 To Languish - Sawn LP 12" (2020)

Words from Missed Out Records :  " When I was contacted by Jonna and Cauli and heard their music/message I knew I wanted to help. They messaged me saying "we are two transgirls from Sweden and France that are making important music about the struggles to be able to thrive in this world as transgender/lgbtqia+" and proceeded to show me their band To Languish and their new album Sown. It's an extremely powerful and important record and I wanted to be involved. We agreed on a limited edition cassette pressing and that all proceeds would go to No More Dysphoria

HC4L059 OUT of PHASE/KALT - Split tape (2020)

On their second EP, Out of Phase keep to their furious crust-/grind-/sludge-base whilst turning to a darker and even more twisted sound. 7 songs about loss, the society of the spectacle and trying not to completely lose sense in this world.

KALT could be labelled the evil twin of the screamo band KŸHL (kyhl.bandcamp.com), featuring their former singer Saerch on drums and drummer Hans on guitar, both sharing vocal duties. Within a few days prior to their first gig in Krakow (where they were supposed to play with KŸHL), the two put together 30 minutes of screams, desperation, fury, melancholy - a meditation about living, loving and dying.
This thing was recorded on one of their few shows.
