84. Raging Speedhorn - 'Hard To Kill'

Raging Speedhorn are almost a national treasure. The British bruisers from Corby that nearly made it. It might be premature to call a band that were only formed in 1998, legendary and highly influential, but the entire current crop of bands from this country that fearlessly mix hardcore and metal owe a debt to Speedhorn. They proved that you didn’t need to sound or try to be American to have a voice and presence. This is album number six and their second since their return in 2014. It’s prime Speedhorn, noisy, unrelenting and unapologetic. It does what it does and does not give a toss whether you like it or not. I did.
