Watch HAGGUS\u2019 \u201cRotting Out\u201d\/ \u201cDo You Love Mincecore?\u201d video HERE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

California mincecore practitioners HAGGUS<\/strong> will unleash their Destination Extinction<\/em> full-length on June 20th through Tankcrimes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ski masks. Pitch shifters. Debaucherous live shows. This is what you think of when you think of mincecore. And when you think of mincecore, you think of HAGGUS<\/strong>. Wasting no time at all, HAGGUS<\/strong> abruptly conquered the DIY grind and punk scenes quickly becoming the ugly face of an entire sub-genre they call mincecore. With a meticulously crafted blend of crust punk and goregrind, they layer almost-poppy guitar riffs with repulsive, pitch shifted vocals \u2013 and there isn\u2019t a band on the planet that can replicate their infectiously brutal sound. Love \u2018em or hate \u2018em, they\u2019re the first and only grindcore band that will get a guitar lick or vocal melody stuck on repeat in your head while still making you want to shove sharpened pencils in your ear holes and vomit out your spleen. HAGGUS<\/strong> are undoubtedly the kings of the current extreme underground and are here to unleash total domination. So buckle up, wimps. If you\u2019ve never heard of \u2018em, you\u2019re about to hear something you\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Destination Extinction<\/em> is a sonic voyage through the entire history of extreme, chaotic, underground punk and metal. This is mincecore. This is HAGGUS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In advance of Destination Extinction<\/em>\u2019s release, today HAGGUS <\/strong>drops two new singles \u2013 \u201cRotting Off\u201d and \u201cDo You Love Mincecore?\u201d \u2013 and an accompanying video. The video, directed by Danny Dobyns, captures a day in the life of HAGGUS<\/strong> across Los Angeles and is, as would be expected, total madness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comments the band, \u201cDo you love mincecore? Because we fucking do! Take a greasy ride with [guitarist\/vocalist] Hambone down into the deep, dark depths of the true mincecore underworld in this grimy Tankcrimes double feature! These two putrid new singles shine a menacing glimpse into the undeniably savage rollercoaster ride you\u2019re in for when you pick up our new album, Destination Extinction<\/em>!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HAGGUS <\/strong>was forged in 2014 by guitarist\/vocalist Hambone as an outlet to merge the traditional sound and politics of mincecore with the sonic barbarity of old-school goregrind. Obsessed with pitch shifters but finding a lack of bands using them that were not labeled misogynistic porno-grind, Hambone set out on an unstoppable quest. Solely influenced by the mighty Agathocles, Hambone was determined to keep the spirit of true mincecore alive encompassing everything from their relentless release schedule to their uncompromising political agenda speaking out against misogyny, sexism, and homophobia in the scene while adding his own style of gore infused vocals into the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming from a purely crust and punk background, Hambone has taken a strictly DIY approach with HAGGUS <\/strong>since inception. With a tireless work ethic, the band dropped close to 100 songs within the first six months of existence followed by self-releasing over sixty splits, ten EPs, and three full-length albums while touring over twenty countries since 2014. In traditional mincecore fashion, Hambone is the sole founder and only remaining original member of the band. After a decade of DIY releases, HAGGUS<\/strong> is now part of the Tankcrimes family and their fourth full length album, Destination Extinction<\/em>, is only the beginning: gore freaks and mince mongers commence! Worldwide mincecore domination is upon us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HAGGUS \u2013 Destination Extinction <\/em>Lineup:<\/strong>
Hambone \u2013 strinx, spew, decomposition
Mister Brisket \u2013 stranx, splat
The Slamburglar \u2013 percussive purulence<\/p>\n\n\n\n
