Today’s tune is what I like to call a “marmite” song; you’re either going to love it or hate it. The title is 'Like Serpents Tears', produced by Armageddon Project, and taken from their 2011 three-track offering, No Hell No Dignity. 

The song is what can be described as five and a half minutes of pure ground-stomping industrial hardcore. The song is a simple fusion of the individual sounds produced by the shaven-headed Italian duo. It’s all done on their own software and extraordinarily no use of synthesisers despite the techno influenced presence. Like Serprents Tears is a demonstration of the radical evolution of hardcore music with a deep thumping bass and high-pitched beats.

Stefano Croce and Matteo Delgrano have been making music together since their first release in 1997, and with this release it’s easy to see why they have been making such a splash in the hardcore scene all across Europe. This track is proper dark, give it a listen and see if it floats your boat! If you like it, you’ll be addicted, if not, you probably won’t last much longer than about 30 seconds.
