Brace yourselves : UK hardcore’s most anticipated debut of the year has arrived. And Church Road Records guys are behind that Bang. Once again. Think Cursed, Have Heart, Blacklisted — but reborn for a turbulent 2025.
23 minutes of pure catharsis
Clocking in at eight songs across a succinct 23 minutes, ‘Recovery Language’ is a short, sharp exhale of pure catharsis—a ferocious yet deeply emotional journey through struggle, resilience, and release
Fusing metallic hardcore, crust, and post-hardcore intensity with raw melody and heart, this record hits hard but lingers even harder. From the wiry opening of « Tell The Truth » to the relatively epic 312-second closer « Pillar Of Strength », Still In Love doesn’t waste a single moment, proving itself more than worth your time on its own visceral terms.
The band proves themselves fluent in the chaos and catharsis of human existence, with thematic focuses circulating around generational trauma, emotional release, and personal boundaries.
Comparisons to the Deathwish Inc./Bridge Nine Records rosters, including the mentioned Cursed and Blacklisted, ring true, but with an added depth that suggests hints of Touché Amoré and Modern Life Is War. The contrast between solemnity and defiance is a constant pull on the album, creating a tide of disquiet that you truly feel.
Intricate, dynamic and instantly captivating.
