New Zealand’s Standover burst onto the scene with a name that perfectly matches their unrelenting sound: violent, raw, and unapologetically confrontational. Rooted in the spirit of hardcore but driven by the crushing weight of metallic ferocity, the band delivers an aural assault that simply refuses to back down.
Their debut full-length, …When A Clenched Fist Is No Longer An Option, is set for release on June 9 via Gutter Prince Cabal. It was produced by Vasely Sapunov, engineered by Sapunov and Troy Kelly, and edited, mixed, and mastered by Francesco Petrelli. The album promises to be one of the most punishing underground releases of the year.
The lead single, Forever Contempt, sets the tone with its relentless energy and furious intent. Check it out here!
