SMOKEBOMB is straight out of Brussels, Belgium. A full force collision of hardcore, punk, hip hop, and metallic groove built for chaos. Formed by scene veterans who’ve been in the trenches for years, this isn’t some polished rap / rock gimmick, this is raw crossover energy with attitude. Think heavy riffs, bounce driven beats, and spit in your face vocals that hit like a brick. They came in swinging with the “Ninja Tape” demo in 2018, aggressive, and straight to the point. Since then, they’ve been pushing their sound further with single releases like “No Answer V.4.20”, “Harvest”, and the EP “The Smoke Of Bomb To Come”, stacking groove, rage, and hip hop flow into something made for movement. Influenced by the OG crossover era but not stuck in it, SMOKEBOMB drags that 90s rapcore DNA into the present louder, heavier, and meaner. Smokebomb are worthy representatives who will be featured on the Heavyweight Compilation VOL13 by I Love Mosh; they previously appeared on both editions of Har...

Dissolution is a crossover hardcore band from Mexico City, formed in late 2024 in the aftermath of several local bands disbanding within the scene (Pactum, Vómito Nuclear, Rot, G.P.K. DEA & others). Rising from that moment of transition, the group channels the raw urgency and aggression of crossover, blending hardcore intensity with thrash-driven energy. In a short time, Dissolution has established a clear identity within the underground. Their sound reflects both the legacy of classic crossover and the current evolution of hardcore, rooted in the DIY ethos of Mexico City’s scene. The band debuted with their first demo, “La guerra que no empezamos” (2025), a release that captures their early direction: raw, direct, and compromising. Building on that foundation, Dissolution followed up with their self-titled EP, “Dissolution” (2026), showcasing a tighter, more refined sound while maintaining their aggressive edge.

Six Steps Forward (SSF) is a five-member band from Krakow, whose history dates back to 2012. From the very beginning, the band focused on performing in Poland and abroad, securing their place among the most experienced "core" bands in the country. Over 12 years of activity, the band has evolved with each new release, which can be heard in their music. They transitioned from an old-school sound reminiscent of a mix between Terror and Comeback Kid to a modern combination of early The Ghost Inside and H20. The band consists of five friends united by a pas- sion for music of various genres, but the main bind- ing element in their approach to music is the hard- core ethos, which has remained unchanged over the years. SSF defines modern hardcore as a blend of fast and catchy hardcore rhythms, enriched with metalcore elements and lyrics with deep, personal messages. Their music features heavy breakdowns that literally shake listeners. These energetic and intense seg- ments are the b...
