Baltimore hardcore heavyweights End It return with Wrong Side of Heaven, a record that feels less like a follow-up and more like a statement carved into concrete. From the first hit, the band delivers the kind of raw, unfiltered aggression that defines Baltimore’s DNA — fast, loud, and unapologetically real.
What makes this release stand out is its controlled chaos. End It have always balanced humor, hometown pride, and pure hostility, but here it’s sharpened. The riffs hit harder, the vocals cut deeper, and the pacing feels like being shoved into a sprint you can’t back out of. Tracks crash into each other with zero wasted space — no filler, no breaks, just straight impact.
Lyrically, the band stays locked into what they’ve always done best: calling out the nonsense, lifting up their community, and refusing to soften the message for anyone. The themes of frustration, self-awareness, and pushing against a world that feels stacked against you run through every song. It’s gritty without being sloppy, aggressive without losing control.
Production-wise, the album keeps that Baltimore basement show grime, but with enough clarity to make every punch land exactly where it’s supposed to. The guitars snarl, the drums crack, and the vocals sit right on the edge of chaos — the perfect formula for hardcore that actually feels alive.
Wrong Side of Heaven shows a band that understands the assignment: hardcore isn’t about perfection, it’s about honesty. End It lean into that with everything they’ve got. It’s short, it’s loud, it’s unforgettable, and it’s exactly the type of record that will tear up stages and playlists across the scene.
End It didn’t just drop another record — they reminded everyone why they’re one of the most important voices in modern hardcore.
