HARD PASS (Sweden) announces debut LP "Distorted Eyes" & unleashes new song "The Power Remains" !

from De:Nihil Records Website :

"Distorted Eyes is the blistering debut LP from Malmö’s own HARD PASS — ten tracks of unrelenting hardcore punk that’ll mess you up worse than this sick world ever could. And you’ll love every second of being torn apart by this ferocious crew.

HARD PASS burst onto the scene seemingly out of nowhere with the raw, no-holds-barred assault that was Hardcore 2024. Of course, those in the know were well aware that all four members have been key players in the scene for decades. So the top-tier hardcore punk delivered on their debut EP (Quarantined Records & De:Nihil Records) came as no surprise.

Since the release of Hardcore 2024, HARD PASS have spent much of 2024 and 2025 spreading their relentless noise — and their message of pure contempt for the sociopathic world leaders determined to drive this planet to extinction. They’ve played countless acclaimed shows in and around Malmö, toured Sweden with their comrades in Alarm!, and appeared on the second installment of the Greetings From Sweden compilation — just to name a few highlights.

Distorted Eyes delivers more of the same unhinged hardcore punk that made their debut so revered. Fast, raw attacks rooted in a carefully curated tradition — yet with enough curiosity and playfulness to keep the sound fresh and alive. Like their debut, which was praised for its intense and powerful production, Distorted Eyes was recorded at Ron Fury Studios, with mixing and mastering handled by Mattias Persson.

Quarantined and De:Nihil have once again been entrusted with unleashing the HARD PASS reality upon the world. First pressing on black vinyl with stunning packaging is available for pre-order NOW. Prepare to be brutalized — and to come back begging for more."
