FAZE — Emerging from Montréal’s explosive underground, FAZE is a hardcore brand built on raw energy, chaos, and uncompromising expression. Rooted in the city’s DIY punk scene, FAZE channels a collision of hardcore, crust, punk, and psychedelic noise, creating a sonic identity that feels like a blizzard hitting at full speed. Their output — whether on stage, on record, or in merch — is fueled by intensity, emotion, and a refusal to soften their edges.
What Defines the FAZE Brand
-
Unfiltered Sound & Aesthetic: FAZE specializes in an aggressive, high-pressure musical approach, blending distortion, urgency, and atmosphere into a signature style.
-
MTL Underground Identity: Proudly tied to Montréal’s hardcore community, FAZE represents the spirit of local DIY culture — gritty, loud, and authentic.
-
Independent Releases: Their catalog, from FAZE 2016 to Big Upsetter, Content, and Struggling to Enjoy Ourselves While the World Slowly Implodes, showcases a brand ethos of self-production, experimentation, and evolution.
-
Community-Connected: Working with DIY venues, labels, and artists, FAZE builds a cultural ecosystem rather than a standalone act — their brand is a movement inside the hardcore scene.
-
Art Through Tension: Themes of frustration, existential pressure, and emotional volatility define their visual and musical identity, making every FAZE release feel like a statement.
