The latest EP from California mincecore outfit HAGGUS, The Mincecore Manifesto, is officially out now via Tankcrimes.

Arriving just one year after the band’s critically acclaimed Tankcrimes debut, Destination Extinction, HAGGUS returns with eight relentless tracks that are faster, filthier, and even more uncompromising than before. While the EP embraces the raw intensity of the band’s early material, it also pushes their sound into even more chaotic territory, delivering a barrage of blistering riffs, explosive energy, and unfiltered aggression from start to finish.

Positioned somewhere between the urgency of classic anarcho-punk and the grotesque extremes of goregrind, The Mincecore Manifesto showcases exactly what has made HAGGUS one of the most recognizable names in modern mincecore. Every track feels purposeful, cutting away anything unnecessary in favor of a raw, punishing listening experience.

Lyrically, the EP turns its attention toward the political instability and social unrest of 2026, pairing its confrontational themes with stripped-down songwriting and relentless intensity. The result is a release that feels immediate, volatile, and unapologetically aggressive.

Rather than reinventing their formula, HAGGUS doubles down on the sound that has earned them a devoted following. The Mincecore Manifesto is a vicious statement of intent—eight tracks of pure, unfiltered mincecore that refuse to compromise from the opening blast to the final note.

“…extremely extreme…” – Decibel Magazine

“Their lyrics may appear to be lashing out and projecting anger, but they seem intended to reflect the collective frustration of a lifestyle that’s had to fight against being suppressed. They’re not angry at the world for its own sake or faking crude behavior to appear cool; rather, they confront issues of universal concern. And they do so with greater urgency, energy, hostility, and violent fervor, escalating their streetwise anarcho-punk and goregrind to furious heights.” – Asphyxium ‘Zine

“The attitude and approach is to get in, punch you in the throat, and get out. Every song is a gem, from the first to the last.” – Flying Fiddlesticks

“…a ridiculously easy EP to listen to. Catchy, dirty, slimy, and cool, it delivers on every level each and every second of each and every song. HAGGUS may not take over the world, but if there was any justice in this unworthy planet, they probably should.” – Metal Epidemic

“The Mincecore Manifesto is not aimed at listeners searching for technical innovation; it resonates with those who still regard the physical intensity of extreme music, political hostility, and consciously preserved filth as central values. What matters here is not how complex the riffs are, but how convincingly the band transforms that sensation of uncontrolled collapse into a coherent aesthetic framework.” – Pitstop Metal

“…raw, hostile and bubbling with ire; every tune is a punch to the gut of mediocrity, replacing it instead with the fast, filthy and downright unhinged. It’s a statement of intent from a band not willing to accept the world as it’s become.” – The Razor’s Edge
