Dutch thrashers Ancestral Sin first formed back in the 1980s influenced by the contemporary underground British and American hardcore and grindcore scenes. But over 30 years later, the Leeuwarden collective are back – and heavier than ever.
Dutch band State Power describe themselves as the Netherlands’ “latest outpouring of fury,” throwing a tantrum in a giant ball of fast-paced, vicious hardcore punk goodness.
