Nasty
Belgian crew dealing in beatdown hardcore at its most punishing — breakdowns built for pile-ons, delivered with metallic weight and no wasted motion.
Nasty formed in Belgium in 2004 and has spent two decades as one of the more visible names in European beatdown hardcore. The band's music sits at the point where hardcore meets metal: slow, heavily palm-muted riffing, abrupt tempo drops and shouted vocals, with songs structured around the breakdown rather than the verse or chorus. Records and shows alike lean on repetition and weight instead of speed.
Nasty has released a long run of albums and toured extensively across Europe, and the group is frequently grouped with the wider continental hardcore and metalcore circuit that overlaps with the heavier end of the metal festival world.
