Official press release:
Revelation Records will proudly issue the Vanished Crusade debut LP from Southern California hardcore quintet, Forced Order, in early August, and Revolver Magazine has exclusively premiered the opening track from the album, “New Forms”.
Forced Order’s rampaging, metallic hardcore especially romanticizes ’90s Cleveland genre pioneers Integrity, Ringworm and In Cold Blood, merging said acts takes on beatdown riffs, dominating backup chants and malevolent, divebombing metal leads. Uniting a tight-knit set of diehards whom also spend time in Twitching Tongues, Disgrace, Soul Search, and others, the band’s jaw-clenching angst courses through every second of their debut LP, Vanished Crusade, the record delivering their metallic hardcore with unchained urgency, with haunting instrumental pieces infiltrating the ill-omened delivery of the record, helping to paint an appropriately bleak view of the world. The follow-up to their Retribution 7″, also released through Revelation, the band’s Vanished Crusade debut LP was produced by Taylor Young at The Pit (Nails, Xibalba, Twitching Tongues), the album delivering fourteen merciless, by the throat tracks that become instantly addictive. The first single and opening track from Vanished Crusade makes itself known through Revolver Magazine today, with the opening track, “New Forms”, issuing within the mangling debut, “We exist to watch you die, Forced Order!”
