The great lie news

 

Last December, The Great Lie got together to record a follow-up to their last ep, Defying Extinction, planning to release these tracks as post-pandemic shows started back up. That time has come, and "Burners" is set to be released.

The Great Lie (with former members of Long Island's Mind Over Matter, Neglect, and Deathcycle, as well as Madball and Sheer Terror) continue to combine their hardcore/thrash/noise roots on the new ep. When In Effect Hardcore last reviewed their last release Defying Extinction, they wrote, "It's hard to say that The Great Lie sound hardcore, punk rock, or metal, and I bet from a band's standpoint, they love that fact." The Great Lie continue to build on that ethos with "Burners."

THE great lie band

The third ep from THE GREAT LIE, recorded with legend Martin Bisi (Sonic Youth, Unsane), embodies the band's raw intensity and aggressive precision. DEFYING EXTINCTION is the sound of five Long Island hardcore/metal veterans who reject the premise that punk is strictly a youth culture.
