Band: Final Struggle
From: Modena, Italy
Their formation story:
"Final Struggle came together in early 2022 out of Modena, Italy. We’re a bunch of hardcore heads who grew up on the raw energy of ‘90s and early '00s hardcore. The band started as a way to channel that spirit and pay homage to the scene that raised us. After a few tweaks to the lineup, we’ve locked in the crew and hit the ground running ever since."
Their sound in their own words:
"We bring that old-school hardcore punch with a modern twist. It’s gritty, fast, and unapologetic. Think '90s NYHC and early '00s hardcore scene vibes—bands like Strife, Sentence, and Hatebreed are definitely in the DNA. For fans of circle pits, gang shouts, and riffs that hit like a brick wall [laughs]."
Latest release info:
"Our new EP, Strive for Rebirth, dropped last December, and it’s a reflection of the fire we’ve been building since our debut EP, Join the Riot, in 2023. This time, we’re digging deeper—harder-hitting tracks, more aggression, and political lyrics that tackle rebirth and perseverance. It’s for everyone who’s been knocked down but refuses to stay out."
Future plans:
"We’re gearing up to hit as many stages as we can and take this EP straight to the people. Expect sweaty shows, DIY vibes, and no-holds-barred performances. Plus, we’re on the hunt for a label to drop a full album down the line."
What other bands from their region should we check out?
"Modena’s hardcore scene is thriving! Some of us are actively part of the Undernoise Modena Crew, Crossed Shows, and RDR HC Videos—crews that are keeping the underground alive and pushing boundaries every day.
"Definitely check them out! Some bands to check out are Fracture (chaos grind), First Brawl (hardcore), Heretkau (post-hardcore), Konoha (skramz), Brainsore (grindcore), Divulgator (hardcore/thrash), and many others!"
