Halshug Issue Scathing New Full Length Album
Danish hardcore trio Halshug’s scathing new full-length, Sort Sind, sees release this Friday via Southern Lord and you can now hear it ahead of its release over at Team Rock. Splenetic and snarling throughout, Sort Sind features nine sharp and gritty new tracks that expresses boundless vehemence proving this to be a great feat for the band.

The theme of Sort Sind is inspired by the members’ experiences growing up in the 1990s and 2000s in neglected parts of Denmark, hoping to in some way contribute to their scene and invoke some energy in those who hear it. Fitting into this storyline are the previously released singles “Vold,” which translates to violence, and according to the members of Halshug is about psychic terror and “Udskud,” which also clearly displays the tumult and unrest the band has captured in their second full-length.
The album’s title, Sort Sind, translates to “black mind.” A brutal rock record, Sort Sind bears hints of motorcycle-fueled d-beat while still retaining the raw punk that made the sound on their Blodets Bånd debut so potent, the songs showing an even more destructive and elevated approach to their songwriting. Recorded live, produced and mixed at Ballade Studios by Lasse Ballade, who also produced and mixed Blodets Bånd, the Sort Sind LP was mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege.
