about

Los Angeles' Hot Load deliver their first long awaited full length.
11 tracks of raging Punker Music drawing magic aura from Poison Idea - Feel The Darkness, Discharge, A metal tinge..but from a Japanese Punk angle so it's not overboard.

Limited Pressing of only 500 copies, some are on coke bottle clear you should buy it. ( Visit Going Underground for your copy)

“Fuckin finally. My tape player doesn’t work. And I ain’t gettin a new one. I’ve missed so much good shit. My record player works..but these fuckin kids and their tapes..I get it. It’s cheap. It’s easy. And most importantly, they’re doing it themselves. But I need records, man. And here it is. They finally fuckin did it. These dudes’ve played in so many different kick ass bands in the LA area I can’t even count. Putting on their own shows, making their own shit, playing the fuck out of it every time they get the chance. And now this. They all came together and put a name to it. Stamp this in one in the history books and have a platter of goodness to remember it by. I love this kind of shit. DIY, punk rock, rowdy motherfuckers. Light yourself on fire type shit. Broken glass type shit. Back alley, underground, if you know you know type shit..as it should be..fuckin finally.”
- Mike Lohrman (The Stitches)

“Local heroes HOT LOAD don't disappoint with this ripping debut. Fans of RAW POWER, ENGLISH DOGS, POISON IDEA and even old school metal like TANK will probably dig this. but really those are just references, HOT LOAD is doing their own thing and it rules.”
- Jesse Michael (Operation Ivy)

"A raging debut by these hometown antiheroes. True rockers, champions of excess. Sonically, the bastard mutant child of bands like Poison Idea, Motorhead, Battalion of Saints, & Warfare if they'd been abandoned on the streets of Japan. Real "kick someone's head off/cut your own head off" music. When Jerry A said he's got a date with the devil... this band is that devil. And they're meeting you halfway in a fuckin tank!"
- Mexi Mike (Section H8)

"You think you’re ready? You have no idea. You think you know HOT LOAD. You don’t know this HOT LOAD, because these motherfukkrs have grown up. Fate Unknown is HOT LOAD realized; twenty five minutes of furious bombast that shits on convention and makes the case for a new metal/punk revolution. You have never heard a record this sweaty and full of fukk. So suit up and strap in: “Heaven is hot babe // Dig my grave.”

DISCHARGE // JUDAS PRIEST // DEATH SIDE // MOTÖRHEAD // HOT LOAD

- Robert Collins (Terminal Escape/ No Statik/ Conquest For Death)

霞みたる音の濁流に、身も心も溶けゆくやうやな。湿りたる闇がじわり這ひ上がり、気ィ抜いたら喰はれてまふで――せやけど、それがまた妙にええんや、堪らん退廃やわ。 Toshio Maeda

When eschatology is glimpsed from poetry and etymology in both possible meanings, beyond the visceral. A profound and hypnotic message, from the dark abyss of high-octane Black Metal, from the always surprising Portugal. obstinato
