New Dead Project – Permanent Apocalypse
New Dead Project will fill your poor hearts with furious yet melodic punk in the veins of Propagandhi
Don’t let their name fool you—New Dead Project is one of the most active and engaging punk bands to come out of Hungary. Hailing from Budapest, their 2010 release Permanent Apocalypse delivers a furious yet melodic take on hardcore punk that’s as explosive as it is catchy.
The record features seven blistering tracks, each clocking in at under two minutes, ensuring there’s never a dull moment. From start to finish, the intensity of the vocals and the infectious energy of the music keep you hooked. This is the kind of release you can spin on repeat without losing its impact. The band strikes a balance between hardcore heaviness and melodic hooks, blending the punk-rock style of Propagandhi with the urgency and anthemic feel of Strike Anywhere.
Lyrically, New Dead Project delivers thought-provoking content, with expressions that bring to mind not only Propagandhi but also some of Europe’s most celebrated acts like Children of Fall and Refused. The words feel purposeful, with a sense of urgency that complements the music’s relentless pace.
Permanent Apocalypse is a prime example of why we should keep an eye on Hungary’s punk scene. It’s tight, passionate, and impossible to put down. If you’re into fast-paced melodic hardcore with heart and brains, this record deserves a spot in your collection.
