About this episode

The episode features a deep dive into the new EP 'Won't Be Disgraced' by GOD'S HATE with Anna Zanes discussing its themes and intentions.

For the very first time on HardLore, the interviewer becomes the interviewee… Myself, Brody King and Taylor Young of GOD’S HATE sit down with Anna Zanes , who up until just days ago was the editor in chief of Alternative Press, to deep dive into the development and intention of our brand new 12” EP, WON’T BE DISGRACED . In our own words… Won’t Be Disgraced is a dense, urgent collection of 3 songs driven by grief and the state of the greater hardcore community and beyond. Your mind can be your most powerful tool or a weapon used against you in your darkest moments, and the only guaranteed way to fail yourself and your loved ones is to quit. As the world continues to be destroyed from within by greed, religious extremism, and 24 hour news cycles of division and violations of human rights… It has never been more apparent that all we have is each other. Use your hate to make a change. Don’t be disgraced. Dedicated to Bohan Daniel Lueders. You can stream all three songs and pre-order the record now: https://www.godshate.us You can support a few of the other journalists who were recently laid off below: • https://andrewsacher.substack.com/ • https://soundbitesnyc.substack.com/…
