HARMS WAY 'POSTHUMAN' LP

Harm's Way raised the bar for industrial-strength hardcore with 2015's stunning Rust LP; they broke that bar over their knee with its follow-up, Posthuman, a groovy, death-cyborg upgrade on their previous work, and the Chicago straight-edge crew's most cohesive statement to date. It's ferocious, cold as ice, and the sound of a band finding its own path. Fred Pessaro
