NEOPHYTE, PANIC — Anthem Of Power

Neophyte & Panic – Anthem of Power opens the latest entry from Neophyte Records, catalogued as NEOSPV012, on a striking pict-vinyl 12-inch. The duo returns to the label’s hardcore stronghold with a release dated 19 June 2026 that promises the same relentless energy hinted at in the label’s recent output. Within the Neophyte catalogue, Anthem of Power follows a string of hard-edged statements: the earlier NEOSPV011 “Early Rave Addict” by Panic, the 2025 “Always Hardcore” from Bodylotion (NEOSPV009), and the collaborative “Skullcrusher” (NEOSPV010) that also featured Neophyte and Panic. The EP therefore sits amid a period where the imprint consolidates its reputation for uncompromising tracks, building on the momentum of the 2025 “Basepower” (NEOSPV008) and the 2024 “25 Years Of Hardcore Legacy – Volume 1” compilation. Side A opens with “Anthem Of Power”, a title that suggests a rallying, high-tempo statement. The track sustains the label’s trademark pounding rhythm, delivering a driving pulse suited for peak-time moments. On the flip, “Original Noise” continues the aggressive trajectory, offering a raw, unfiltered surge that mirrors the EP’s overall brutal aesthetic. For Neophyte, this release follows the 2025 “Skullcrusher” and “Basepower”, both 12-inch vinyl outings that cemented the producer’s place in the modern hardcore scene. Panic’s recent discography includes the 2026 “Early Rave Addict” on the same label, the 2025 “Hype Me Up” for Passionate Music Label, and earlier work on La Bella Di Notte, illustrating a consistent focus on high-energy, floor-driven material. Anthem of Power reinforces the label’s current direction, where each release amplifies the ferocity of the genre while maintaining a clear structural focus that works for both club DJs and collectors seeking a snapshot of contemporary hardcore. The EP’s two tracks sit comfortably beside each other, offering a concise yet potent listening experience that can be deployed as a powerful opener or a climactic boost in a set. From a DJ’s perspective, the A-side’s “Anthem Of Power” provides a solid foundation for building tension, while “Original Noise” on the B-side serves as an effective transition or closing statement, both tracks engineered to cut through the mix with authority. Collectors will appreciate the pict-vinyl presentation, which adds a visual dimension to the auditory assault, making the record a noteworthy addition to any hardcore-focused crate. The release arrives as a 12-inch pict-vinyl, catalogued NEOSPV012, featuring two tracks that together encapsulate the brutal ethos of Neophyte Records’ current output.
