Chicago's well- kept secret

"Lustre King, a hardcore band out of Chicago, is a band well-worth checking out if hardcore is your thing. I've seen them live several times, and their intensity is comparable to that of Unsane or Quicksand, with a little Reverend Hortan Heat thrown in. The album does a good job of capturing that intensity. I once saw this band open up for Helmet, and to be completely honest, I thought Lustre King blew them away. I also saw them hold their own on the same stage as an awesome Godflesh act. I guess my point is that if this is your genre, this is a new band that you absolutely must hear!"
