CONSECRATE
Formed in 2018 and based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Consecrate is a fairly young band consisting of young music college students. Although they are influenced with all kinds of genres, hardcore punk is still relevant in their hearts. Consecrate’s approach to songwriting is influenced by a wide range of genres and bands.
On 2019, They’ve just recently released a five-track EP called Trials together with the help of friends from a local label called Freshtown Records. This EP is an introduction of their music to the small and still growing underground scene in Malaysia. Although they have a convincing hardcore punk character (or not) , Consecrate is just a small band with big goals. Trials is a fairly packed mini album with a rough
edge but also makes you feel that “something”.
