Peace Test announces new album Hear “Total Power”
Providence, Rhode Island has long been a hotbed for music defined by raw energy and uncompromising volume. The city’s sonic history is rich with sounds that push boundaries, and within this lineage of visceral noise, the band Peace Test carves out a uniquely violent niche.
While many bands operate in experimental or abstract territories, Peace Test delivers something far more primal: fearsome, guttural hardcore delivered at speeds and intensities that are rarely heard these days. They don’t just play fast; they crank the intensity to extremes, forging a sound that is both classic in its aggression and brutally modern.
Building on this reputation for relentless sonic assault, Peace Test is ready to deliver their next statement. Earlier this week, the band announced plans to follow their 2022 full-length debut, Pry, with a new project titled Repercussion.
The material promises to be an even more frantic exploration of their signature sound. The production for this new offering was handled by Trevor Vaughan, a name well-known in the heavy music scene for his work with bands like Rival Mob and Wound Man, suggesting that the intensity level is about to escalate.
The first taste of this heightened energy is delivered through their lead single, “Total Power.” This two-minute track is a pure attack—a frantic burst of speed and fury that perfectly encapsulates Peace Test’s commitment to extreme, unrelenting hardcore.
