Wreak Havoc! are now in the family!
We are more than psyched to welcome Wreak Havoc! to the Monument family of brothers and sisters.
The choice was made instantly after the first listen and suddenly it was clear to us that we always have been searching for this band. A band define hardcore in much sense with their intensity, anger and restlessness.

Wreak Havoc! myspace

Wreak Havoc rose from the ashes of several bands from the North Eastern Ohio area with the purpose to play fast honest and intense hardcore.
Inspired by bands like American Nightmare, Panic, Frostbite, and Modern Life is War Wreak Havoc is the perfect blend of thrash, punk rock, and hardcore. With emotional yet bitter lyrical content the band is a writing machine with the intent to become a staple in the new generation of hardcore. Recording their debut in the Summer of 2008 the ep features guest vocals by hardcore legend The Human Furnace of Ringworm and Andy Hoffman of Above This Fire.
The band has already started working on a full length with plans to record in winter of 2009 and a release in spring of 2009. Wreak Havoc will be hitting the road for a majority of 2009 to thrash in your city.

GET FUCKING PISSED!

We have the First Cut 7" in stock!!
We unpacked this red vinyl today! Aggressive, fast hardcore that breathes frustration and gives the middle finger to the society in general.

"I put my foot down, I make my mark
on a wall, on a train, wherever I walk
this city was never yours, so now we take it back!
By force – with art”

Listen to 1 of 7 tunes from this wax.

First Cut - Right before my eyes

From calm to chaotic? Probably. First Cut reminds us of swedens finest: Section 8, Outlast and Final Exit.
