Bushido Code

With roots that go deep into the hardcore scene, this quintent formed in 2017 as so many great bands do, out of the creative primordial ooze of their local scene. Many of the members had known each other for years, making this collaboration feel very natural. They chose a samurai inspired moniker to reflect their own personal values of being fearless and driven by their goal to achieve the highest degrees of sacrifice for what they believe and are dedicated to. With their first two releases, The Dying Virtues: Volume 1+2 the band was able to lay out their vision of a crossover thrash sound that was unapologetically go for the throat.


Now, the band is gearing up to release a brand new album, The Ronin on the one and only Upstate Records. This album will use skull cracking thrash metal to tell the story of Da Shi, a Ronin Samurai who has traveled through time, looking for a warrior worthy enough to help him achieve the most honorable sacrifice, death. However, no demon or saint has been worthy enough yet. It’s an epic story, but a natural choice for a band who seek to take on the world at large. Follow the journey and experience their crossover thrash sonic triumph now!
