Formed in 2009, Michigan’s Great Reversals has steadily built an impressive discography. Releasing a host of EPs and splits, the band has consistently churned out powerful hardcore centered around deeply personal, often philosophical lyrics infused with the idealism that has always been at the heart of the DIY scene. Now the band is poised to unleash their debut LP Mere Mortals in collaboration with State of Mind Recordings, Bitter Melody Records, and Hydrogen Man Records. Spanning 11 songs in total, “Mere Mortals” channels 90’s heavyweights like Trial, Integrity and Harvest, while infusing occasional moments of post-rock flair. Lyrically, the record is a reflection on the often desperate and heart-breaking state of the human condition, as seen through the lenses of friends, family, and acquaintances. Recorded and mixed by Andy Nelson, and mastered by Brad Boatright, the weight of the record’s subject matter is surpassed only by its crushing production, resulting in a jarring and colossal listen. Here is the first track off of the record - Capsized - This will be up for preorder this week from all three labels. We will also have a preorder shirt to coincide with the release.

Dying “Broken” cassette EP, available March 29, 2015. Stream their song "Rites" now here: http://listen.hydrogenmanrecords.com/album/broken Dying formed in Philadelphia in the winter of 2011. Over the course of three years and three releases, a handful of short tours and canceled shows, traumatic van repair crises and a few lineup changes, they have slowly transformed into a completely different animal than their early configuration. The band has become rawer and more aggressive over time, pulling more directly from hardcore staples from the early 2000’s like Cursed and Converge. Their newest recordings find them toeing the line between memorable hardcore songwriting and unhinged anxiety wracked noise. This new EP represents another leap forward both in production value, and in depth of songwriting and execution. Four songs showcasing an impatient, anxiety ravaged band with nothing positive to contribute to your life. This is bleak and unwelcoming metallic hardcore. FFO Cursed, Catharsis, Converge. Engineered by Steve Roche at Permanent Hearing Damage and mastered by Carl Saff. Track listing: 1. Rites 2. Exchange 3. Police / Work 4. Chewing More info at http://www.hydrogenmanrecords.com
