Furnace. Gravity Distortion Time Displacement Unit EP.

My old band played with these fine fellows in a house in rural New England last summer that shook to its very foundation upon the start of their set, rattling windows on the neighbors' homes. Hailing from various spots around Massachusetts and New Hampshire, Furnace play a particularly brutal version of Bucket Full of Teeth's initial model of post-hardcore set to a grind tempo, interjecting a healthy dose of hardcore and thrashy punk into the mix as well. The band slams down ferociously as quickly as possible, yet I've been recently of the opinion that when they open up their sound, especially on the relentless and epic "I Rest Easy, Your Ship Has Sailed" (also found on a split 7" with L'antietam on the Electric Human Project), the band really has something more than simply captivating: they've found something new.
