Album:
Big Enemy
Label:
Tartarus Recordings
Release Date:
23rd October, 2026.
Born inside Rotterdam's anarchist Poortgebouw community in 2025, Bombstrap have quickly established themselves as one of the most uncompromising new names in underground hardcore. Split between Manchester and Rotterdam, the four piece channels nihilism, black alchemy, and ultraviolence into a feral sound that owes as much to No Trend and Total Abuse as it does to a complete rejection of authority and conformity.
Their rise has been as explosive as their music. Following a raw live recording released after only their second ever show at WORM, Bombstrap embarked on a relentless run of performances, tearing through festivals and venues including Roadburn, Fusion Festival, Grauzone, Down the Rabbit Hole, Skinfest, Vera, Voidfest, WORM, and OCCII, earning a reputation for chaotic, confrontational live shows.
Now the band returns with their debut album Big Enemy, a blast of caustic, explosive hardcore delivered with ruthless precision. Fueled by nihilism and anarchic conviction, the album is a sonic bullet aimed squarely at the heart of a corrupt society, uncompromising, abrasive, and impossible to ignore.
Big Enemy will be released on October 2, 2026 via Tartarus Records on vinyl, cassette, and all digital platforms.
