The Promised End Release Debut Album “For The Buried And The Broken”

Boston’s The Promised End, that features members of Landmines, Tied To A Bear, The Effort, Choke Up and Sky Tigers, have released their debut ten song full length, For The Buried And The Broken, via Sound Investment Records & Gunner Records. For The Buried And The Broken might be described as misery soaked melodic hardcore, the music is aggressive with intent and melodic with purpose. It is urgently paced while deliberately shaped, retaining the jagged edges that define the hardcore & punk genres, but molded by the hands of an experienced band. It is a love letter to the band’s inspirations, an homage to 80’s thrash, early American hardcore and Youth Crew. Expressions of personal grief, political frustration and a search for community in an age of isolation populate the vocals.

Lyrical themes including criticisms of a modern disposable culture, our appetite for misinformation and the ignorance fueled fear of others are woven between the personal recountings of estranged relationships and loved ones lost or struggling to survive addiction. At times there is a glimpse of light that breaks through the gloom. The offer of hope through mutual aid, direct action and self improvement through adversity deliver a reprieve from the darker tone to mirror the nuances of our shared reality.
