Italian hardcore stalwarts RESCÜE CAT will release their debut EP “Flesh & Weapon” on February 14th, 2025 via Time To Kill Records. The first single, “End Me, Coward”, is now streaming HERE. This first track hones the same intensity of its thrashy riffing and muscular drumming inside its lyrics too, delving into themes of gendered violence and artist-fan abusive power dynamics. “End me, Coward” doesn’t relent or let up while pushing for something fierce and heavy within Italian hardcore, paying homage to both modern hardcore and 90’s metal tradition. Tracklist: 1. Enter the sewer trap
2. Who’s the killer?
3. Soft/quiet/cruel (ft. Jorelia)
4. End me, coward
5. Malice practice (ft. Norman Bates)
6. My own demise
7. Mother to no one (ft. Mayoulivetoburyme)
8. Flesh & weapon Founded in Lombardy in early 2023 and now hailing from different parts of Italy, RESCÜE CAT is an energetic hardcore band bursting with attitude and… love! Starting off as friends in the local scene, they’re now ready to make their mark as one of the fresh faces of Italian hardcore. With performances at major events like Venezia Hardcore and Built to Blast already under their belts, they’ve developed a distinct style that mixes intense, emotional lyrics, tight compositions, and dreamy imagery. In eight visceral tracks, the band pours out their passion for fast riffs and emotion-packed lyrics. “Flesh & Weapon” is a concept that dives into themes like shame and love, religious guilt, motherhood and girlhood, body horror, and trauma, all driven by furious blast beats and impassioned deliveries. Each track weaves a haunting narrative, blending dreamy imagery with raw, unfiltered anger. RESCÜE CAT aims to carve out a unique spot in the hardcore scene, offering anyone feeling isolated an unflinching look and a crutch to hang on.
