Nightbringer

"Fight Like Hell"

Nightbringer plays ferocious hardcore in the classic Detroit - Negative Approach way. No compromise, no bullshit, just pissed musicians venting. "Fight Like Hell" is the most recent single and it's available on 45 backed with a medley of Detroit classics from the Amboy Dukes and the Necros. The track is typically angry and exhilarating, and it's over before it sinks in so you need to keep playing it over again.
