Strife

Strifeについて

Not long after their formation in 1991, Strife hit the ground running and solidified themselves as one of the breakout hardcore bands that defined the hardcore sound of the 90’s. Their debut LP, One Truth, was released in 1994 by Victory Records to both critical acclaim and tremendous sales. After years of touring heavily across the U.S. and abroad, as well as a support slot for Sepultura on the Roots tour, Strife returned to the studio to record their Sophmore LP, In This Defiance. In This Defiance was even harder and more aggressive than their debut, and this record bridged the gap between hardcore and metal; featuring notable guest appearances from Chino Moreno of Deftones, Dino Cazares of Fear Factory and Iggor Cavalera of Sepultura. 2001 saw the release of their third LP, Angermeans, on Victory Records. Fast forward to 2012, and Strife returned to the studio to record their 4th studio album, Witness A Rebirth. With producer Nick Jett at the helm, Strife recruited friend and previous collaborator Iggor Cavalera (founding member of Sepultura) to perform drums for the album and traveled to Brazil to start the recording process with him. Soon after, they returned to California and put the rest of the pieces into place, including guest appearances from Billy Graziadei (Biohazard), Scott Vogel (Terror), and Marc Rizzo (Soulfly). Witness A Rebirth saw Strife’s return to form, and the album was met with high praises from both their fans and the press.
