  • Description

    Primitive Weapons returns with new album The Future of Death, coming April 15th on Party Smasher Inc.

    From Brooklyn, New York, Primitive Weapons embodies that moment where hardcore opens its fists and embraces the grandeur of rock - where feral rage joins with melody and texture to transform into something even more enthralling. Fugazi did this in the late '80s; in New York City it crystallized into a scene of its own in the early '90s when veterans of the CBGB matinees began starting new bands - Helmet, Quicksand, Into Another - with the explicit intention of exploring a wider range of sound and feeling.

    Perhaps more than any other band, Sweden's Refused came to represent this shift, bringing in elements from all over the musical map while retaining white-knuckle intensity. Primitive Weapons guitarist Arthur Shepherd was right there on that wave, starting in the '90s with his Long Island-based hardcore band Mind Over Matter and advancing to World''s Fastest Car (with Quicksand's Walter Schreifels), Errortype:11, and Instruction (with Quicksand's Tom Capone). Rooted in hardcore, these latter bands made music that was simply epic, beyond the limits of a genre.
