WORLD PEACE (US) + XIAO (SW) + TRAVØLTA (BE) + PARASITE CIRCUS (BE)
WORLD PEACE (US)
If you’re at all invested in powerviolence, the hardcore subgenre built around fast and jarring bursts of aggression. The world “album” is a funny thing to parse out in powerviolence. What counts as an album? How many songs does it have to be? How long does it have to be? World Peace have been making music since 2017, and they’ve released a bunch of EPs and proper records. But within a blink of an eye, their songs are done. World Peace have no guitarist, and it’s tempting to compare their whole bass-drums-vocals attack to noise-rock bands like Lightning Bolt. But there’s no chaos in World Peace’s sound. Instead, it’s all crisp and precise and focused. They’re writing dense, chaotic 16-second songs on purpose. Sometimes, those songs have time-signature changes or mosh-part breakdowns. They usually have sick riffs. They’re always angry.

XIAO (SW)
Oh, Sweden. There is something in the water there.
Forming in the summer of 2019, Xiao is a Swedish hardcore band based out of Stockholm. The group emerged with their first EP, Pain, last year, bringing forth a sound that can go from the hurried pacing of D-beat and power violence one moment, and slower and measured the next.
