German heavy outfit DAGGER THREAT return with their most uncompromising statement to date on “bleed///reboot,” a 30-minute, ten-track album that fuses modern hardcore violence with glitch-ridden chaos and metallic precision. From its opening moments, the record hits like a system failure — cold, aggressive, and relentless — pulling listeners into a world where distortion, tension, and raw emotion collide without restraint.
The album unfolds as a calculated descent through sonic abrasion. “becoming” and “404” lay the foundation before “neuro” and “tissue” escalate the pressure with mechanical intensity and suffocating grooves. Collaboration plays a key role in the album’s impact, with “leech” featuring NASTY and DISTANT delivering a merciless convergence of hardcore and deathcore force. The explosive centerpiece “code red” assembles a stacked lineup — Blossom Decay, Peace of Mind, Slow Burn, Dethroned, Second Sight, TORCH IT, and collisions — resulting in a no-holds-barred assault that feels as volatile as it is unified.
Across “mire stomp,” “shiver,” and “the nothing,” DAGGER THREAT sharpen their sound into something both oppressive and precise, blending bone-crushing breakdowns with moments of eerie restraint. The closing track “dissolve” pulls the record into a bleak final spiral, leaving behind a lingering sense of collapse and catharsis. Every track serves a purpose, reinforcing the album’s themes of decay, overload, and rebirth through noise.
With “bleed///reboot,” DAGGER THREAT solidify their place within Germany’s modern heavy underground, delivering a release that feels urgent, destructive, and meticulously crafted. By merging raw hardcore energy with digital abrasion and a roster of ferocious collaborators, the band have created an album that doesn’t just hit hard — it leaves permanent damage.
