SIYAHKAL

K-Town Hardcore Fest 2026 After doing a small tour with TOTAL NADA in Spain/Portugal/Basque country early this summer, I traveled up to Copenhagen to attend K-Town Hardcore Fest, my first time going not associated with a band, but of course we were there to table for The Counterforce with a selection of issues and related zines. Thanks for having us K-Town! Many people grabbed zines - if you are reading this and you saw us there, please send an e-mail and say hi! But, I did manage to watch some...

SIYAHKAL is a raging Toronto hardcore punk band who sing in a dialect of Farsi. This tape is absolutely ripping, and is a pretty unreal recording for a live set. It opens with a maniacal laugh that sets the stage well for the next few minutes of making you stomp around wherever you are listening to it. The tape layout is photocopied on cardstock, and equally foreshadows how hard this tape is. For fans of brutal plodding hardcore like DESTINO FINALE. Listen here: https://serpentsgallery.bandcamp...
