Bronx-based metallic hardcore band XTINGUISH THE CODE presents their second album, The Conflict, set for release March 27th on Grey Matter Records.

A band with NYHC running through their DNA, XTINGUISH THE CODE formed in 2019, having morphed over the years to currently unite bassist Dusty Onita (Apparition, 4 In The Chamber), drummer Nate Boogie (Lake Lanier, No Weapon, MAAFA), guitarist The Professor G Flava (Apparition, No Weapon, Waist In Flesh, Gemini Method), and vocalist BJ Allen (Zero Trust, Full Scale Riot, GMK). Delivering streetwise, energetic, beatdown-driven and groove-based hardcore, infused with elements of metal, hip-hop, and more. The band has played with D.R.I., Sworn Enemy, Downset, Madball, Life Of Agony, Sick Of It All, and many others. Following their Step To My World debut (2021) and subsequent Matter Of Fact EP (2023) – both through 1054 Records — XTINGUISH THE CODE now unites with Grey Matter Records for the release of their second album, The Conflict.

XTINGUISH THE CODE’s explosive hybrid of rabid antagonism culminates on The Conflict, which not only marks the band’s first release with new drummer Nate Boogie and vocalist BJ Allen, and is also the band’s first time creating a conceptual release, crafting a story that touches on working-class solidarity and global awakening. Each song is meant to portray a person’s transformation from an ordinary resident to a radicalized citizen.
