Bitter End are an intense hardcore band from San Antonio, Texas, influenced by the metallic New York Hardcore bands of the late 80's and early 90's. With their exhaustive touring and their debut 7"EP "Mind In Chains" (Malfunction 2005), they have established themselves as a brute force in the hardcore community.

Refining their mid-tempo power displayed in their previous release, Bitter End take it to the next level with their debut album, "Climate of Fear", due out on Malfunction on September 11th. Tight production accentuates song after pummeling song, creating a controlled chaos few bands could achieve. Paying homage to their influences (Cro Mags, Killing Time, Breakdown) while firmly establishing themselves as leaders of the new breed of heavy hardcore.
