Formed from the ashes of the scene's best kept secret, Scalped, Primal Rite comes blazing out of the dirty club stages of the California Bay Area with a sound that takes influence from the powerful, metallic hardcore of the '90s as well as that era's most punishing crossover, thrash and death metal bands. Lyrically, Primal Rite doesn't settle for typical hardcore, stabbed-in-the-back cliches or meaningless metal morbidity, instead tackling important personal politics. Vocalist Lucy expounds on the subjects of mental illness, self-doubt, betrayal and perseverance with uncommon grace.
