FFO: Black Label Society, Corrosion of Conformity, Metallica

Location: Trois-Rivières (Québec) Canada

Crush the Core, the dynamic trio from Trois-Rivières, is set to captivate fans once again with their latest single, “Are You Here?” The song is slated for release on May 10, 2024, marking another milestone in the band’s journey of relentless musical exploration.

Formed in 2022, Crush the Core brings together the hard rock grit and raw power of old-school metal, creating a sound that resonates with fans of heavy hard rock-metal. Comprising Phil Forget (Vocals & Guitar), Stef Forget (Guitar & Bass), and Eric Mireault (Drums), the band draws inspiration from legendary acts like Black Sabbath, Corrosion of Conformity, Metallica, and Black Label Society.

“Are You Here?” represents a departure from Crush the Core’s usual heavy sound, delving into the emotional turmoil of Alzheimer’s disease. With acoustic guitar parts blending seamlessly with their signature heavy style, the song offers a poignant reflection on loss, isolation, and the disorienting effects of memory loss.

Phil Forget, lead vocalist and guitarist, shares, “This song is dedicated to Mr. Jean Mireault as well as to all those affected by the disease and their loved ones. It’s a gut-wrenching reminder of the fragility of life and the ache of saying goodbye.”

Since their inception, Crush the Core has maintained a commitment to delivering new music regularly, with five powerful singles released since June 2023. Each release showcases the band’s versatility and dedication to addressing diverse aspects of the human condition through their music.
