GET THE SHOT interview "Hardcore is more than music, it’s a statement!"

Описание: Montreal Rocks chats with Quebec City's hardcore scene trailblazers, GET THE SHOT about their superb new album, Merciless Destruction, out October 7.

We also talk about the bands they love from the Quebec scene and when we can expect to see them playing live in Montreal again.

Merciless Destruction marks the awaited return of Quebec City’s hardcore scene trailblazers, GET THE SHOT. As with No Peace In Hell (2014) and Infinite Punishment (2017), the upcoming fourth album sees the band exploring new territories of extreme music while sticking to its roots and its fierce DIY approach to music.

Following the thrash-influenced Infinite Punishment, GET THE SHOT this time incorporates death metal and beatdown elements on Merciless Destruction. Over countless tours across the globe, the band has taken inspiration from many bands along the way and refined their sound while also taking influence from some of the top-heavy artists such as Obituary, Cannibal Corpse and Machine Head.

On Merciless Destruction, GET THE SHOT consolidates its independent approach despite a tedious and fraught recording process. Hardcore community anchorage has never been greater, driven by a clear strategy, a group on top of their game and unwavering dedication.

After more than 500 concerts on three continents, including some on the biggest international stages such as Hellfest, Jera On Air, Summerbreeze and Groezrock, the five members remain committed to the core values of authenticity, integrity, and equality at the heart of the hardcore movement, while addressing with disillusioned realism the flaws of an era defined by blind individualism.

The truth is what we get with GET THE SHOT: straightforward, no sugar-coating. As brutal and cruel as reality can be, the ability to confront and overcome it depends on our ability to face it head-on.
