If you’re looking for a track that’s about as subtle as a brick through a window, Atlanta’s own Forsaken Profits have you covered. The thrash-punk veterans have just unleashed their latest single, “KNIVES”, and it’s a proper two-minute whirlwind of skate punk and crossover thrash chaos. There’s no preamble and certainly no apology – just raw, high-velocity noise that sounds like it was recorded in a basement filled with empty cans and dented amps.
The new track is the latest taste of what’s to come from their upcoming full-length album, Road Rash, which is set to hit the shelves this April. After fourteen years in the DIY trenches, the band clearly haven’t lost an ounce of that aggressive edge. It’s fast, it’s ugly, and it’s exactly what you’d expect from a band that describes themselves as a “drinking band with a punk problem.”
“KNIVES” follows on from their previous single, “Decayed”, which dropped earlier this year. This latest offering proves that they’re still one of the most reliable names in the underground scene for anyone who likes their music loud, fast, and completely devoid of corporate polish.
Whether you’re a fan of old-school 80s thrash or the grit of technical hardcore, “KNIVES” hits the spot. It’s the kind of tune built for a sweaty pit in a dive bar, and with Road Rash just around the corner, it looks like 2026 is going to be a busy year for the guys.
