โRustโ is the new album from HARM’S WAY. Recorded at Brick Top Recordings by Andy Nelson (WEEKEND NACHOS, DEAD IN THE DIRT), mixed at God City Studios by Kurt Ballou (CONVERGE, HIGH ON FIRE), and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (OBTURAYR, NAILS). Brutally and meticulously refined, โRustโ brilliantly combines industrial repetition (think Godflesh), metal attack (think SEPULTURA, HELMET, CELTIC FROST), and hardcore aggression. Showing that HARM’S WAY have emerged from the wreckage of past genres as the new high watermark of heavy in contemporary aggressive music.

Opener โInfestationโ stomps with machine-like precision before plunging into a depressing sonic dirge. While songs like โLaw Of The Landโ, โHopeโ, โCancerous Waysโ, and others introduce guitar and electronic driven atmospherics into the arsenal. These subtle dynamics bleed into other aspects of โRustโ as well. Mid-album beast โLeft To Disintegrateโ unfurls as an unforgettable anti-anthem ripe with infectious creeping metallic undertones. While โAmongst The Rustโ and โTurn To Stoneโ introduce guest vocals from Colin Young (Twitching Tongues) and Emily Jancetic. Both of them adding haunting nuance to the brute force of the band. All of this leads to the epic closer โEase My Mindโ; a take-no-prisoners aural bludgeoning so heavy that it needs to be heard to be believed.
HARM’S WAY have scheduled a bunch of dates for the coming months – go here to see them all and see the details of the two main tours below.
