Danish Death/Metallic Hardcore band Lifesick have revealed their new stand alone single, “Hard To Kill,”alongside a video. It arrives via Metal Blade Records.

The band introduces the track:

‘Hard To Kill’ blends a groovy death metal-inspired riff with fast hardcore energy before collapsing into a series of crushing breakdowns, closing with the statement ‘Hard to Kill!’ Lyrically, it’s pure defiance shaped by pain but impossible to break.

Lifesick was created in 2014 by guitarists Nikolai Lund and Nicolai Lindegaard following the dissolution of their previous band, No Love. Created with the idea of “delivering a more uncompromising and aggressive sound”, the band quickly established itself within the Scandinavian Hardcore scene.

The band’s name, suggested by vocalist Simon Shoshan, was inspired by “life’s hardships and the challenges people face throughout their lives.” This is a theme that continues to influence the band’s music and identity.

Blending Metallic Hardcore, Beatdown, and Hardcore Punk, Lifesick is known for its intense live performances, heavy sound, and “emotionally charged songwriting”. Since their formation, the band has toured extensively and delivered a series of releases exploring themes of “struggle, conflict, and perseverance.”
