Label: HELLMINDED Records
After more than 27 years, legendary New Jersey hardcore unit No Escape returns with six crushing new songs that will appear on a limited edition 12" EP with Hellminded Records. Due out March 26, 2021, Selective Punches: A Collection of Ballads & Battle Hymns will appear on several limited edition colors.
Featuring Tim Singer of seminal metalcore band, Deadguy, as well as Kiss it Goodbye, along with Steven Crudello of crucial NJ hardcore band, Turning Point, No Escape returns with six killer new songs that feature their unmistakeable brand of classic metal-tinged hardcore which was recorded and mixed by Arik Victor at Creep Records and Mastered by heavy music maestro, Alan Douches at West West Side Music.
As one of the most influential bands at the forefront of the burgeoning metalcore scene in the late 1980's along with other seminal acts such as Integrity, Ringworm and more, No Escape has widely been considered one of the creators of the genre. Their 1990 demo and subsequent split 7" with Turning Point on Temperance Records are still revered as two of the most recognizable releases of the era and sound as menacing and current now as they did almost 30 years ago. In 1993, the band released their only LP, Just Accept It, on Overkill Records and it would unfortunately be the last we saw of them as members went on to form such bands as Deadguy, Seven Gone, and Kiss It Goodbye. Until now..
