KRIEGSHÖG – Hardcore Hell EP 7″
One of the most amazing bands of the last decades. If you don’t know them, you’ve been living under a rock (this EP came out in 2008). It’s a re-release of the EP that originally came out on the great Hardcore Survives label, run by my friend So! The Youth. This HeartFirst version has one more song that’s not included on the original.
By now, they have two LPs and two more EPs out on La Vida Es Un Mus.
In 2025, the band did a Scandinavian tour (Finland, Sweden, Oslo, Denmark), which went really well. I saw them in Oslo and they were awesome.

Review from Maximum RocknRoll #200
“I am almost left speechless on how fucking good this record is. the ultra-hardcore brutal legion needs to maim and murder to get this record ‘cuz it fucking kills an I heard it is already long gone. OK, what does it sound like, you may ask? Driving, fist-pumping hardcore with loads of distortion, ferocious drumming, and vocals that drive right through my skull. Side one paints a picture for you by having some war-time sample – ya know, gunfire and commotion followed by a six-year-old girl’s blood-curdling scream – then in comes the audio assault. Killer!” (Martin Sorrondeguy, Maximum Rocknroll No. 300)
I love the band so much, they go their own b-side label artwork – with studs. First pressing came in a neutral black inner sleeve.
