Seattle band Plague Mind is channeling the heartfelt and aggressive sound of early 2000’s hardcore on their new EP, Always On the Outside, out today. Across the four songs on the EP, Plague Mind mix pandemonium and gloom with introspective lyrics that address depression and isolation. The tracks feel home alongside artists like The Hope Conspiracy, Tragedy, Modern Life Is War exuding crisp, impassioned vocals, melodic rhythms, and down-tuned breakdowns. You can stream it HERE.
The members of Plague Mind are hardcore lifers, having played in bands including Betrayed, With Honor, Love Is Red, Sinking Ships and Trial to name a few. Always On the Outside marks the band’s second release, following their 2022 self-titled debut.
