For nearly 30 years Cutthroat - NY music has been out of print until now...

Formed in 1993, Cutthroat quickly became a fixture in the Albany, NY underground, sharing stages with bands such as Machine Head, Hatebreed, Madball, Crowbar, Stuck Mojo, Suffocation, and Brutal Truth. Between 1995 and 1997 the band recorded and released the material that defined their identity - raw, heavy, and rooted in the 1990s metalcore movement.

Wax Assault Records is proudly releasing two Cutthroat titles and preorders are now live! 🔥🚀

Legacy of Rage: 1995–1997 (CD)
This definitive collection gathers the Hate Breeds Rage album ('95), the Swollen Shut cassette ('95), and 3 rare compilation tracks ('96 - '97) into one single release. Over 70 minutes of music, newly remastered from the original DAT tapes by Svante Forsbäck (Chartmakers), and an 8-page booklet. Limited to 500 copies.

Hate Breeds Rage (Vinyl)
Hate Breeds Rage returns on vinyl for the first time since its original 1995 release. Originally released exclusively on CD by Ruffneck Records, this edition presents the album remastered for vinyl from the original DAT tapes by Svante Forsbäck (Chartmakers), giving Cutthroat’s defining release its first proper vinyl pressing. This vinyl edition presents Hate Breeds Rage as if it were back in 1995. Limited to 300 copies on colored vinyl.
