Released in 2023 via Roadrunner Records, Turnstile’s NEVER ENOUGH is a high-energy, genre-blurring explosion that pushes the boundaries of modern hardcore. The album blends the band’s signature aggression with infectious hooks, funk-infused grooves, and experimental textures, resulting in a sound that is both ferocious and unexpectedly joyful.
The record opens with BLACKOUT, immediately establishing a pulse of relentless energy. Throughout NEVER ENOUGH, tracks such as HOLY HEAT and ALTAR showcase Turnstile’s mastery of dynamics, moving effortlessly between blistering hardcore riffs, melodic passages, and atmospheric interludes. The album balances immediacy with sophistication, creating moments that are simultaneously mosh-ready and emotionally resonant.
Instrumentation is tight and vibrant. Guitar riffs oscillate between punishing distortion and shimmering chords, Sergio Vega’s bass drives the grooves with infectious bounce, and Brendan Yates’ drumming navigates complex rhythms with precision. Vocals alternate between shouted catharsis and melodic introspection, adding depth to the album’s energetic landscape.
Production emphasizes clarity and punch, capturing the visceral impact of the band’s performances while highlighting subtle layers of texture and ambience. Synths, samples, and electronic flourishes expand the sonic palette without diluting the hardcore core.
NEVER ENOUGH is more than an exercise in intensity; it is an exuberant, forward-thinking statement that celebrates joy, community, and catharsis through music.
Ultimately, NEVER ENOUGH stands as one of Turnstile’s most ambitious and accomplished works. It is a record that channels raw energy into creativity and inclusivity, proving that hardcore can be both heavy and uplifting, fierce and euphoric.
