An EP that not only impresses with brutal heaviness, but also with a deep, almost tender devotion to their home state of Alabama - and to everything that makes up this region: the beauty, the contradictions, the scars.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>No Cure don't deliver another interchangeable hardcore banger or the thousandth lament about lost love. No, this band brings substance. A fire blazes here that destroys and creates in equal measure. The merciless fusion of hardcore and death metal sounds as if it was born directly from the deepest ravines of a tortured soul. But this chaos is as precise as an Asgardian hammer blow - a controlled inferno that prepares the ground for something new and powerful.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And then there are the guest appearances! Daniel McWhorter (Gideon),Kayhan Vaziri (Blessing, Yautja) and Jesse Clark (Wielded Steel) - they not only adorn this EP, they enrich it like worthy allies in battle. These collaborations speak of a scene that not only burns, but also stands together. It's a sign of how rooted No Cure feel in their community.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The single <strong>\"Don't Need Your Help\"<\/strong> stands out in particular and is one of our favorites. What a plank. A furious storm that sweeps you away with its raw energy and unwavering authenticity. The vocals of Jesse Clark and Nick Chance give it even more power. It's a song that not only packs a musical punch, but also carries a message: <strong><i>Here is the Southeast, yes, with all its past. But we are the present, and we are fighting for a better future.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What No Cure have created with <strong>\"I Hope I Die Here\"<\/strong> is nothing less than a soundtrack to identity, home and strength. Every note tells of pain and pride, every song breathes the history of a region that often goes unrecognized. While others turn their backs on Alabama, No Cure make it their canvas. The EP is a love letter - loud, raw and full of pride.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes you come across music that doesn't just want to be heard, but felt. <em>No Cure<\/em> have achieved this with this EP. In the name of Asgard: listen to it, live it, feel it!<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ffffff; font-family: Cinzel;\">Asgard hears you.<\/span><\/h4>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are those rare albums that come down on us like a thunderclap from the halls of Valhalla - they tear at the soul, ignite the spirit and inevitably drive your fist into the pit of your stomach. \"I Hope I Die Here\" by No Cure...<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8731,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[717,265],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-no-cure","category-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/starlight.rocks\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8730","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/starlight.rocks\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/starlight.rocks\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starlight.rocks\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starlight.rocks\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8730"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/starlight.rocks\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8730\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8732,"href":"https:\/\/starlight.rocks\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8730\/revisions\/8732"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starlight.rocks\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8731"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/starlight.rocks\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starlight.rocks\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8730"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starlight.rocks\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
