Cornered + Insurgent + Visceral Contempt - Posse Productions and Silent Call Collective present

Cornered

Cornered started out in 2008 when many hardcore bands were drifting away from

the sound they loved the most. Within a period of four years they toured Europe

several times and even did a full-US tour in 2011. Having recorded three

full-length albums, three 7”es and a handful of split 7”es, Cornered are back in

the original line-up working on a follow-up record. Fans of fast hardcore with

an occasional groove need to pay attention.

Insurgent

Insurgent is a melodic hardcore band from Northern France, formed in late 2022.

Blending melodic death metal, metalcore, and emo-punk influences, the band has

forged an intense and emotional identity driven by songwriting that is both

socially engaged and deeply cathartic. Following the release of their EP Bring

the Sword in December 2025, the band continues to build on its momentum. The

year 2026 marks a new milestone, with an intense live schedule and the band’s

first UK tour. In June, the single We Are Not Slaves to Fear opens a new

chapter, serving as the first taste of Not the Peace, a second threetrack EP

scheduled for release later this year.

Visceral Contempt

Visceral Contempt rose from the ashes of Human Demise, which disbanded in 2013.

Vocalist Maurice and guitarist Willem stayed in touch, and in 2023 Willem wrote

three old school metalcore tracks built around the concept of Operation Oyster –

the WWII Allied bombing raid on the Philips factories in Eindhoven. Maurice

penned the lyrics and rehearsals began. Victor (Dark Intentions / Pigteeth)

joined on drums, and the debut demo The Raid was recorded in February 2024. The

demo was released later that year, with Johan (ex-No Turning Back) stepping in

on bass. The band played their first shows in December 2024 and 2025, supporting

Earth Crisis, Mindwar and Rancor. With five new songs and a remastered demo in

hand, WTF Records jumped at the chance to release them together on CD and

digital. 2026 turns bleak when Visceral Contempt hits the stage again.
