In the almost four agonizing months I have spent away from East Lansing, I have been conducting extensive mosh research to find the hardest and heaviest tracks to supply to you, the fine listeners of Thee Hourz O’ Power. From old school deathcore to youth crew, crossover to Oi! punk and every identifiable sound in between, there is plenty to enjoy for any fan of aggressive music.

Some of these tracks will find their home in the music library for Thee Hourz O’ Power at some point in the future, but until then, here are 18 songs that dropped this summer that are sure to kick the dog days up a notch or two:

• “The Beast Is Back” – New World Man
• “Vie” – Fury
• “Squeeze” – Scarab
• “Compulsory Bloodshed” – Tracheotomy
• “Cry Your Eyes Out” – The Chisel
• “Summer’s Beginning” – Adrienne
• “Under My Skin” – Pain of Truth
• “Profits of War” – Implosive Disgorgence
• “Earn Your Respect” – Human Garbage
• “Encased In Crystalline” – A Mourning Star
