God's Hate have released Won't Be Disgraced through Closed Casket Activities. The three-track EP is the Los Angeles band's first new material since its 2021 self-titled album, and follows a surprise return to the stage at Sound and Fury in Los Angeles on 16 August.
The title track and I Am The Cure are joined by Warriors Will Reign, a Harm's Way cover featuring guest vocals from Karl Buechner of Earth Crisis, Ray Cappo of Youth Of Today and Shelter, and Harm's Way vocalist James Pligge. Supporting reports describe the cover as a tribute to late Harm's Way guitarist Bo Lueders, although the official release pages do not state that directly.
Back At Sound And Fury
God's Hate announced an indefinite hiatus after Sound and Fury in 2025. One year later, the band returned at the same festival and put the complete EP online less than two days after the set. The hiatus is over. A full album and tour have not been announced.
The physical release is a 12-inch EP with a screen-printed B-side. The official pages list four colour variants, including a 100-copy Floorpunch Gold pressing. The standard Bandcamp variants are due to ship around 30 October 2026.
Who joins the Harm's Way cover
Karl Buechner, Ray Cappo and James Pligge bring several generations of straight edge and metallic hardcore together on Warriors Will Reign. The title track, meanwhile, is about asking other people for help. We appreciate that side of God's Hate as much as the heaviness.
