Agnostic Front is an American hardcore band that formed in New York City in 1982. They were part of the burgeoning New York hardcore scene of the mid-1980s and began playing hardcore punk similar to bands like Black Flag and Negative Approach. Their sound evolved over time, incorporating thrash metal elements with the release of their album "Cause for Alarm" in 1986. After a brief hiatus, Agnostic Front regrouped in 1996.

The current line-up consists of Vinnie Stigma on guitar, Roger Miret on vocals, Mike Gallo on bass, Craig Silverman on guitar, and Danny Lamagna on drums. Throughout their history, they have had several former members who contributed to their unique sound.

With a rich history and a dedication to their genre, Agnostic Front continues to be influential in the hardcore music scene today.

Nuclear Blast is a German independent label that specializes in metal and related music styles. Founded in 1987 by Markus Staiger, the label has become a prominent force in the metal industry. With their headquarters located in Donzdorf, Germany, Nuclear Blast Europe serves as a label, mailorder service, wholesale distributor, fulfillment service, and distribution center for several labels across Europe. In addition to their European presence, Nuclear Blast America operates as a US company with similar business tasks in collaboration with Century Media. They also have a South American branch working alongside Century Media.

A typical Nuclear Blast catalogue number follows the format "NB XXXX-F", where F represents the format of the release. This can vary but generally includes limited first editions (such as Digipak or O-Card) for both CD and DVD (-0), LPs or other vinyl formats (-1), jewelcase CDs or promo CDs/DVDs (-2), video tapes or tapes (-3/-4), box sets or limited mailorder editions with bonus CDs/DVDs (-5), some vinyl 7”s (-7), shape CDs (-8), and picture vinyls (-9). Earlier releases may only have three digits.

With an extensive catalog of metal music and an authoritative presence in the industry, Nuclear Blast continues to be a leading label for fans of heavy music

A Godfather figure is understood to be a purveyor of genre; a pioneer in a particular realm of creation. Perhaps more importantly, and after over 3 decades molding the Hardcore realm, Agnostic Front have protected and nurtured Hardcore music in such a way that it still exists healthily and in its proper form, today. As a band that has cultivated their reputation with honesty, and that prioritizes affirming their social messages to the world, Get Loud! is well suited as the title for their 12th, full length studio album. Although the sociopolitical climate has transformed considerably since the release of the United Blood EP in 1983, the basic concepts of political corruption and social unrest have only been enhanced, and with them the fuel on Agnostic Front’s fire. “We’ve always had a voice; had a lot to say. We’re always screaming for a change” says frontman Roger Miret. “Speak up, get loud, say what you have to say. Be the change you want to see in the world. You can’t change the whole thing, but you can make little differences that will matter, eventually.”

For such a memorable album, the reappearance of Cause For Alarm artist Sean Taggart was vital in order to deliver a piece of art that perfectly combined the old school with the current state of the world. Bringing the CFA characters back to life in a new age, the artwork will be familiar to Agnostic Front fans the world over, but still maintains a modern freshness. When CFA was initially released in 1986 it was a distinguished and prosperous time for the world of Hardcore, and it is that time, and that vibe, that this album aspires to reassert. Get Loud! is compiled of 14 tracks that are nothing short of classic, home grown, NewYork Hardcore, but still includes some thrashy and punky variety. The title track carries a common message for the entire album. It’s a moody and riveting version of “speak up, aren’t you sick of the same day to day routine? It’s time to make that change and stop climbing up that same exact wall. That’s what Get Loud! is all about.” says Miret. Songs like I Remember are important glimpses into the lives of the men of Agnostic Front and thus tie in strongly with their recent release of Ian McFarland’s Documentary: The Godfathers of Hardcore (2017). Although it was written after the release of the film, the track serves almost as a theme song for the documentary in which Miret and founding guitarist Vinnie Stigma recant their pasts and their most groundbreaking records; even first meeting one another.

Songs like Conquer And Divide speak to the current state of where we as humans are today. An old school band in a new era can be an adjustment, but there’s something to be said for the technological advances that have enabled Agnostic Front to write this new album, even with distances between the core members of the band. Ideas, lyrics, and riffs were tossed around amongst the guys in a digital universe, and once solid skeletons were formed, the final portion of the writing, the finessing, and the recording began in person. Produced by Miret himself, longtime friend Paul Miner of Buzz Bomb Studios then tracked, recorded, mixed, and mastered the album. Get Loud! is now arranged, groomed, and ready to make its debut to fans the world over.
