Stream the first new Strike Anywhere songs in over 10 years off their upcoming Nightmares of the West EP

Over a decade after their last album (2009’s Iron Front) Virginia melodic hardcore band Strike Anywhere is set to release a new EP on July 17 via Pure Noise records. Nightmares of the West was once again produced by DC hardcore vet Brian McTernan, who has helmed all of the band’s albums up to this point.

Ahead of the record’s release, the band has put up two tracks from the record, “Dress the Wounds” and “Imperium of Waste,” that sound just as catchy and inspiring as anything they’ve put out in the past. Stream both new tracks below.

Vocalist Thomas Barnett had the following to say about the new record:

“We wanted to write things that we felt really fresh about and that revealed something new. It was almost like this refresh, this restart, where we found ways to write songs that not only moved us, but also reflected the times and our ages. But we definitely feel inspired, and this record is a platform for us to hopefully – in time – play shows, connect with community, and help keep those little fires lit in ourselves and in others through the music and those shared experiences. These songs are the conversations that we want to have and the feelings that we still really need to share.”

Nightmares of the West is available for pre-order now.
