Sometimes you want to be grim and you want to mosh, and for those kinds of moods there’s bands like San Francisco’s At Our Heels. At Our Heels are a hardcore band at heart, but — much like similar artists such as Black Anvil, Masakari and Black Breath — they inject a healthy dose of black metal attitude and chord voicings into their fast and brutal attack. This is the kind of band I’d like to see live and just absolutely lose my shit to in the pit; dark and dirty, but at the same time possessing an air of fun.

Misanthropy and Godlessness is out now on Creator-Destructor Records. Thanks to vocalist Alex Pulisci for sending this in!
