BURNING FIGHT

Revelation is now taking pre orders for the long awaited book about nineties hardcore called Burning Fight. The book has been in the making for over 6 years, and features almost all of your favorite 90's hardcore bands including Inside Out, Burn, Integrity, Earth Crisis, Avail, Downcast, Los Crudos, and many more. I contributed some photos for Burning Fight, and there is a lengthy Strife interview in the book as well. You can pre order Burning Fight here.

The nineties era of hardcore was a time of profound change and debate within musical, social, spiritual, and political parameters. Many of the ethics and ideals that were ingrained in the marrow of bands from the previous decade were taken in new, exciting, and often controversial directions. It seemed that those immersed in ideals and social movements pertaining to hardcore (straightedge, animal rights/vegetarianism, social/race/gender issues, D.I.Y. ethics, spirituality) managed to come together to debate and implement these aspects into their own lives, even outside the realm of the hardcore scene. At the same time, many of the ideologies that united folks ended up dividing them in the long-run, which eventually lead to the splintering of the activist-leaning nineties hardcore scene by the decade's end.
