I wanna shout out a couple people. And, those people are in The Dissidents, Bill and Rachel. Compilations weren’t really part of this set, but if they were, the 2024 3 cassette compilation series they put out would have had all three. What they are, are international benefit compilations. Which was used to generate donations for on the ground humanitarian mutual aid for Palestine. The comps are No Genocide: A Benefit For Mutual Aid In Gaza, No Occupation: Another Benefit For Mutial Aid In Gaza and Yes Liberation: A Benefit For Mutual Aid In Gaza. Awesome idea, awesome cause, awesome comps. Check those out.

CEASE is in our demo feature. A power violence band out of Hamilton that captures the anger of the city. Combining elements of beatdown with the crushing slows parts and blurring fast parts of power violence. A sonic assault that helps make sense out of the joke titles that make a play with French counting. There isn’t any room for title musings after this audio assault. Power Violence is alive and well in the Hammer. And the audio sample at the end of the last song is like a 2025 version of a call for unity.
