Song of the Day: Human Animal, “Down We Go Again,” from The First Four Winters (Panda Claw/Bound by Modern Age, 2016)

This previously unreleased punk-tinged metallic hardcore anthem kicks off The First Four Winters, a discography (so far) collection from Erie, PA's Human Animal that compiles their split 7"s with Wreckage and Additional Time (2014), as well as their debut EP, Dark Days (2012).

For those unaware, the band's members have formerly been involved with the likes of Brother's Keeper, Run Devil Run, Abnegation, xDISCIPLEx A.D., and many more; and they deliver a no-nonsense style of catchy, breakdown-laden metallic hardcore with gruff vocals and a killer bass tone.

Grab the CD (which also includes bonus live tracks) for a mere $5 from Panda Claw Records (California), or pick up a hand-numbered cassette (limited to 100 copies) from Bound by Modern Age (Germany). You can also grab either format from the band—as well as their limited edition Live on BVZ Radio cassette (released by Down for Anything/Surprise Attack Records).
