The observant among you may find something familiar about LA’s up and coming hardcore firebrands Grand Lord High Master and their new song “Flexxx”; it actually made its debut over the holiday season as a part of our annual Heavy Comp Is Heavy compilation. In case you missed it, we’ve got its “official” premiere today before the album’s release this spring. Truthfully, “Flexxx” is a song so nice, we just had to debut it twice.
To call Grand Lord High Master a hardcore outfit is honestly a bit of a cop out on our part; there’s smatterings of thrash and sludge mixed into this two-and-a-half-minute banger that fans across the spectrum can enjoy. Think Converge by way of High On Fire or Every Time I Die with a mad case of mange. Grooving trem-picked thrash riffs, Cali-punk scramz, and some chunky and pronounced basslines carry this song to its conclusion and bodes well for the rest of the band’s self titled debut to come.

The “Flexxx” single officially drops January 27th, with a self-titled full length debut coming this Spring through Kill All Music. Keep up with GLHM via Facebook for more information.
