Pestilence marks a bold and brutal evolution for Hazing Over, pushing far beyond their Shin Guard roots into a darker, deathcore-influenced sound. Across four blistering tracks, the EP trades melodic textures for relentless blastbeats, crushing breakdowns, and guttural screams, while still weaving in moments of searing melody and razor-sharp riffs. Lyrically, Pestilence is steeped in anger and defiance, taking aim at systemic injustice and personal struggle with a raw, unfiltered intensity. Yet beneath its aggressive surface, the record shows a deep self-awareness, embracing growth and transformation both sonically and thematically. It's a fearless, punishing, and exhilarating new chapter for the band.
