Still Climbin Still Believin

Originally formed as a side project to Japanese hardcore legends STATECRAFT, LOYAL TO THE GRAVE quickly became the main focal point for all members involved. Through their crunching, no-bullshit tunes and confronting lyrics, Tokyo’s LOYAL TO THE GRAVE has solidified their name as a staple in the Japanese hardcore scene. This hard work has been duly noted through support slots with TERROR, HATEBREED, CONVERGE, and HEAVEN SHALL BURN. Their album 'Most Wanted 168th Infantry' was distributed locally in 2005 to a widely positive response. Skull And Bones Records is now proud to release the powerhouse’s next opus of fiery, walloping hardcore anthems, 'Still Climbin’, Still Believin’', which was originally released in early 2007. With the perfect mix of fast and tight thrash, pummeling riffage, and mosh parts straight out of the NYHC scene, this release proves to the world that the Japanese can be just as, if not more so, tough, brutal, and catchy as the rest of the worldwide hardcore movement. The Australian version of the album also features brand new artwork and four exclusive live tracks recorded last year not available anywhere else!, With 'Still Climbin’, Still Believin’' receiving rave reviews across the globe, as well as a split 7' with THE ACACIA STRAIN, and a three-way split EP with WINDS OF PLAGUE and xARMED FOR BATTLEx under their belts, it’s time for LOYAL TO THE GRAVE to take over the world. Expect to see Australian and US tour dates announced this year.
