April 2025 saw Richmond hardcore outfit Ultimate Disaster releasing their blistering debut LP For Progress... The nine-track record is a no-holds-barred assault, channeling the raw aggression of Discharge and Varukers, with the noise of Disclose, and the metallic edge of Tragedy. With lyrics tackling themes like environmental collapse, surveillance culture, and authoritarianism, the album pairs its sonic ferocity with pointed political commentary.
Recorded at Minimum Wage Studios - home to many Richmond punk staples from Government Warning and Direct Control - the album captures a clean yet crushing sound. Tracks such as “Mass Produced Hatred” and “Never Ending Slaughter” deliver relentless huge riffs and urgent vocals. For Progress... is available now on vinyl with all digital download proceeds go to the Palestine Red Crescent Society. In both sound and spirit, this record demands your attention.
