Boston Hardcore band Firewalker have been working for several years on their sophomore album Hell Bent, out now on Triple B Records. Their most recent previous releases include The Roll Call EP in 2019, and their latest demo collection in 2022. Their new collection focuses on 80s-tinged Metallic Hardcore and has arrived on vinyl and CD.

Firewalker’s updated lineup includes guitarists Sarah King and Cecelia Halle as they move towards a heavier sound. The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by drummer Sasha Stroud at her studio, Artifact Audio, in NYC.

The band has also announced Summer tour dates including a record release show in Washington D.C. on July 4th and the Triple B Records x Sound & Fury Showcase with Mindforce, Fury, Conservative Military Image, and Hold My Own on July 11th in Los Angeles.
