xBLACKMYHEARTx






Black My Heart was a straight edge hardcore band from Boston, Massachusetts formed in 2003, originally
consisting of: 

  • Bass – Phillip Gauthier
  • Drums – James Moller
  • Guitar – Derek MabraTyler Joutras
  • Vocals – Justin Zwicker





This lineup released a four song demo in 2003 and quickly recorded their debut EP which was released in 2004 titled, The Fuck Hearts EP through Goodbye Blue Sky Records. This EP shares a very similar sound to their contemporaries at the time such as Bury Your Dead & On Broken Wings. This lineup dissolved around 2005 and Black My Heart reformed with Tyler Joutras being the only remaining original member on their 2006 LP, Before the Devil.

Some interesting information I found when researching this era of the band is that 3/5 of the original Black My Heart lineup has ties to the early 2000's Screamo / Grindcore / Metalcore scenes as Derek Mabra played in bands such as: Tears of Avarel, The:Enclitic & Shallows and Flats prior to joining Black My Heart. Tyler Joutras played in emoviolence band The Farewell Chapter prior to Black My Heart, releasing one demo and one EP with The Farewell Chapter. Drummer James Muller played in a band called Transistor Transistor directly after leaving Black My Heart.




I go back n forth whether I like this EP over the LP but if I had to choose I would prolly go with this EP since i find it really cool that this band has ties to the screamo / grindcore scene but has intention of playing simple ignorant mosh riffs a similar story to their contemporaries in Bury Your Dead. I'm also gonna link what's supposedly the OG Thick As Blood demo off the 2003 demo, I mean to me it def sounds different from xTheFuckHeartsx version but idk issa wobbler I might just be trippin.
