APF Records proudly unveils the thunderous debut EP from East Anglia's newest force of sonic devastation, BERENICE. Emerging from the depths of the underground, BERENICE unleashed their self-titled EP on August 16, 2024, showcasing a relentless fusion of hardcore, metal, crust, and grind.

Formed in early 2023, BERENICE wasted no time in forging their path, culminating in a raw and unapologetic recording session at the close of 2023, capturing their uncompromising ethos in true DIY fashion. Their explosive sound and uncompromising attitude quickly caught the attention of APF Records, who swiftly signed the band.

"This EP is our fearless expression of pure rage and disdain for the harsh realities faced by so many today," comments BERENICE on the themes woven throughout their debut. Fuelled by a shared sonic vision, the band draws inspiration from icons like Nails, Gatecreeper, Black Breath, Power Trip, and All Pigs Must Die, promising a punishing and ruthless delivery that spares no ear and leaves no stage unscathed.

Following the EP's release, BERENICE plans to embark on a nationwide rampage, bringing their visceral and unrelenting live show to venues across the UK throughout the rest of 2024. Audiences can expect nothing short of a visceral sonic assault, designed to leave an indelible mark on the hardcore and metal scenes alike.
