Vinyl LP pressing. Brutal metallic hardcore juggernauts Walking Wounded emerge from Cleveland's notoriously gritty and aggressive underground music scene with a fresh take on the Rust Belt city's storied heritage. Guitarist Steve Perrino began writing and recording Walking Wounded songs alone in his studio before recruiting vocalist Noah Hardesty. In the spring of 2022, the pair released their debut single, Birth, a blistering slice of emotional powerviolence. That formative song showcases Perrino's songwriting skill and Hardesty's uncompromising voice but only hints at Walking Wounded's determined excursion into darker and more deathly sounds. The result was Bestial Condemnation, now expanded with bonus material. The scathing record kicks off with the one-two punch of Battle Worn and Unholy Bargain - a relentless discourse between melodic thrashing speed and driving, chugging catharsis. Elsewhere, Depravity executes a high-speed hardcore bombing raid in just over one blistering minute, while Anguished Solitude slows things to a determined crawl that would make Obituary proud. The record shines with Food for the Crows, possibly the quintessential Walking Wounded song.
