California’s favorite mincecore outfitHAGGUS has dropped another work of visual insanity with their “What’s Fucking Left?” video. The track comes by way of the band’s Destination Extinction full-length, recently released by Tankcrimes!
Comments guitarist/vocalist Hambone, “‘What’s Fucking Left?’ is a sonic roller coaster ride from Hell. Taking you all the way from nauseating goregrind vomits to snotty street punk guitar solo purgatory and back — what better place to do it at then a greased-up house show?! No skits this time but plenty of hot dog suits, wigs, and $1.99 fifths of banana rocket whiskey to go around. Hold onto your cronies and buckle up ya wimps, ‘cause you ain’t gonna have many brain cells left after this one!”
Gore freaks and mince mongers commence! Worldwide mincecore domination is upon us!

Ski masks. Pitch shifters. Debaucherous live shows. This is what you think of when you think of mincecore. And when you think of mincecore, you think of HAGGUS. A meticulously crafted blend of crust punk and goregrind, HAGGUS layer almost-poppy guitar riffs with repulsive, pitch shifted vocals – and there isn’t a band on the planet that can replicate their infectiously brutal sound… Destination Extinction is a sonic voyage through the entire history of extreme underground chaotic punk and metal and back. The record made its way to Billboard upon its first week of release (a mincecore first!) debuting at #14 on the Current Hard Music chart, #50 on the Independent Label Albums chart, and #150 on the Current Album Sales chart.
Destination Extinction was recorded by Greg Wilkinson at Earhammer Studios in Oakland, California (Necrot, Autopsy) and includes cover art by Rusted Winds. The record is available on CD, cassette, and digital formats as well as limited edition vinyl.

HAGGUS was forged in 2014 by guitarist/vocalist Hambone as an outlet to merge the traditional sound and politics of mincecore with the sonic barbarity of old-school goregrind. Obsessed with pitch shifters but finding a lack of bands using them that were not labeled misogynistic porno-grind, Hambone set out on an unstoppable quest. Solely influenced by the mighty Agathocles, Hambone was determined to keep the spirit of true mincecore alive encompassing everything from their relentless release schedule to their uncompromising political agenda speaking out against misogyny, sexism, and homophobia in the scene while adding his own style of gore infused vocals into the mix.
Coming from a purely crust and punk background, Hambone has taken a strictly DIY approach with HAGGUS since inception. With a tireless work ethic, the band dropped close to 100 songs within the first six months of existence followed by self-releasing over sixty splits, ten EPs, and three full-length albums while touring over twenty countries since 2014. In traditional mincecore fashion, Hambone is the sole founder and only remaining original member of the band.
“…their most impactful release yet…(which is truly something for a band with roughly 65 of ‘em)…” – Decibel Magazine
“Destination Extinction may be a sign of a newer, slightly shinier HAGGUS, but it’s … still that same bile-encrusted filth as before, just that you can hear it a little better…” – Last Rites
“Destination Extinction is a fast, furious, and utterly filthy blast of defiance. With ten songs across 25 minutes, HAGGUS clearly don’t have the time to be subtle. Instead, this short, sharp wallop to the back of the head.” – Blabbermouth
“The debaucherous tone the band is known for still stands out strong but the use of guitar harmonies are a nice albeit new touch that give songs a somewhat precise feeling. If you’re new to HAGGUS or the genre of mincecore for that matter than this is a must have album.” – New Noise Magazine
“…the definition of raw and uncut with old school hardcore and extreme metal packaged together like bread and cheese. Think of it as the definition of good clean fun reversed and repackaged as a filthy delight.” – Scream Blast Repeat
“…equally compelling and disorienting…” – Metal Digest
HAGGUS – Destination Extinction Lineup:
Hambone – strinx, spew, decomposition
Mister Brisket – stranx, splat
The Slamburglar – percussive purulence
