Metallic hardcore band Justifications‘ second single to date, “Male Bonding“, has met its official release. That track features Walls Of Jericho vocalist Candace Buckingham making a guest appearance. Justifications are fronted Guy Kozowyk of The Red Chord, who himself appears Walls Of Jericho‘s on forthcoming new album, “System Error: Humanity“.
“Male Bonding” is part of Justifications‘ forthcoming debut album “The Race To Expiration“, which they intend to have out in 2027 through Black Market Activities. As for pairing up with Buckingham once again on this new track from it, Kozowyk offered:
“Candace is the pioneer of forcing females to the front of hardcore. For decades she has brought unmatched vicious energy and showed that the girls can bring it just as hard as anybody. We were honored when she accepted our invitation to tear it up on a track about making noise with the boys!”
Recording sessions for “The Race To Expiration” took place with Kevin Billingslea (Lamb Of God, Cruel Hand), with mixing and mastering done by Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Hatebreed). Further as-yet unannounced special guests are planned for that record.
