SHUT UP AND TAKE THE PAIN!!!
This Massachusetts band is what hardcore is all about. Since their start, Grimlock has smacked hardcore in the face with brutal guitars, intense drums and aggressive and sometimes controversial lyrics. In the future, this band is sure to give Hatebreed a run for their money!
With the release of their 1995 debut 7inch, “Thirst for Immortality” and their follow-up record, “Songs of Self”, Grimlock set the tone for the future and separated the men from the boys. With tracks such as “My Sins” (the worlds most intense break-up song!) and the crowd favorite, “24”, fists fly in the pit as the sing-a-longs create pile-ons many bands can only dream of.
Touring coast to coast to support each release, Grimlock’s equally energetic live show had not only created a devoted following but also caught the attention of Life Sentence Records. With the release of 1998’s “Crusades of Reality” EP, they kept the brutality rolling with tracks like “I Offer No Pity” and “The Pain Game”. Again, a combination of heavy music with aggressive lyrics supplied their fanbase with more anthems of chaos.
But in the Summer of 1999, due to the constant financial struggles of touring and musical and personal differences, Grimlock decided to take time away from the scene. With each member going their own way, it gave the band time to clear their heads and later regroup with a few changes.
The group reunited in 2003 with a brand new line up including drummer, Dave Sroka of the Western-Mass hardcore band SCURVY and original guitar player, John Zera. They then unveiled their fourth release and second for Life Sentence Records entitled, "Crusher." The record does just as the title implies, as it leaves you bloody and wanting more. With tracks such as "Mad Titan" and "Ritual of Steel," the band brought back their old-style metallic hardcore to the fore-front. The band embarked on a U.S. tour in support of their latest release and returned home with memories of smashed windows and broken bodies. Now Grimlock is currently INACTIVE but who knows what the future holds!
