Hailing from Sydney, hardcore sluggers No Apologies have been around for almost two decades. Their latest effort – Life is a full-on assault on the senses. Imagine if Biohazard, Sick of it All, Pantera and Life of Agony had a bastard child. That’s exactly what No Apologies sound like.

The songs kick you in the guts, huge riffs, pummelling drums, gang vocals a plenty and break downs that had this scribe headbanging away like a maniac. Fucking fantastic. Opening track, Womb Birth kicks off with an atmospheric intro before we are off into a monster of a track. The title track is another face melter, brutal! Every track is superb; the production compliments the bands style perfectly.

No Apologies have created something special here. The album takes the listener on a journey with tales of mortality, life’s ups and downs, and to the depths of despair. All woven together with style. It’s in my top 10 albums of 2025.

Life is out now on Last Ride Records. Go and get it, you won’t be disappointed.
