California’s favorite mincecore practitioners, HAGGUS, will release The Mincecore Manifesto 12″ EP via Tankcrimes on June 26th.
Positioned between classic anarcho-punk urgency and the most deranged edges of goregrind, The Mincecore Manifesto cements HAGGUS as the definitive force in modern mincecore. Arriving just one year after their critically-adored Tankcrimes debut, Destination Extinction, the freaks are back and they’re faster, filthier, and more unhinged, channeling fan response into eight relentless tracks that strip the sound back to its rawest, most uncompromising form.
Rooted in the DNA of their early material but pushed to a more violent extreme, The Mincecore Manifesto delivers a pungent, punishing statement of intent. Lyrically, it rips into the political volatility of 2026 with raw hostility, pairing stripped-down songwriting with explosive energy to deliver a vicious return to form and chaotic escalation in their sound. No filler. No compromise. Just pure mincecore violence.
“This record is dedicated to anyone speaking up, resisting and fighting fascism in 2026,” comments band founder Hambone. “Now, more than ever, there is no time for silence or fencewalking. The billionaires and oligarchs will use everything in their power to keep you too distracted, overwhelmed, and exhausted to notice we are headed for a global fascist state. Their interest benefits no one but themselves and will bleed this planet dry. Every aspect of life under the capitalist boot is designed to profit off mass suffering while selling you on convenience. Do not let them fool you. No one is free until we’re all free.”
In advance of the release of The Mincecore Manifesto, HAGGUS unleashes a video for opening track, “Decease The Police.”
Watch it HERE.
HAGGUS’ The Mincecore Manifesto was written and recorded by Hambone, mixed by Andrew Solis (Nails, Despise You) at Dead Stare Audio, mastered by Dan Randall at Mammoth Sound (Ghoul, Spazz), and features cover art by Digestor (Ghoul).
The EP will be released on vinyl, cassette, and digital formats.
