Have you ever thought to yourself, “I could use a black eye right about now”?
Think less, because No Hope X Mankind will likely give you one just from listening to them. Perhaps you caught them at Total Deathfest 2024! Chilling like villains in Montreal, NHXM is a textbook example of good old fashioned “beatdown”. In other words, that pit comes with caution tape around it, so you have been warned.
Their latest single, “The Outsiders”, is just simply brutal. I’m a little biased maybe because it starts off with one of my favorite Rorschach quotes from the movie “Watchmen” and I’m immediately grinning from ear to ear. Then that build up like Bob the Builder into the gang vocals: “No hope for mankind!” It’s so tough and the breakdown following is so swol. The vocals from Katherine Thiffault are so visceral and angry, you can’t help but to swing your fists.
If you enjoyed “The Outsiders”, then good news! It’s the perfect introduction to NHXM, meaning there’s more for you to listen to. “Brawl of Brutality” and “Shoot for Treason feat. DETESTMENT” have more black eyes to give and Building the Violence has a whole EP worth of them. I love their usage of clips. A lot of folks crapped their panties to this, I’m sure.
If you’re looking for music to clench your fists to, No Hope X Mankind is right up your alley. They’re actively playing shows and crawling their way into the states slowly, so keep an eye out for their name on a bill at your hometown venues! Make sure you show them some support and be careful on that dance floor! #SupportBeatdown
