Last month, the straight edge hardcore unit consisting of members of Knocked Loose, Gates To Hell, Inclination in xWeaponx have debuted their volatile new single with "Everybody Breaks".

The barrage of tandem vocals from Dave Baugher and Issac Hale over punishing percussion and frenetic guitars put on a clinic - asserting the requisite hostility of time-tested hardcore. 

Harnessing the momentum of the single, the band has now delivered a surprise EP, launching Weapon X Demo 2 via DAZE. Along with the previously mentioned track, the presentation features an additional four, barn-burning tracks, bolstered by special guest features from the likes of Human Garbage and the legendary Earth Crisis on the banger "B.N.E." 

Establishing "Everybody Breaks" as the introduction, the release in full frames a five-track masterclass in metallic straightedge hardcore. 

The presentation was recorded by Issac Hale and was completed with a final mix and master from Zach Tuch. Currently available via DAZE, the unveiling of the latest EP from xWeaponx follows the band's recent confirmation as part of 2025's Sound and Fury festivities.

The EP also precedes the band's upcoming appearance at LBD Fest in Louisville, KY later this month joining the likes of Basement, Cold World, Superheaven, High Vis, God's Hate, Mindforce, Static Dress and many more.
