NJ hardcore unit Gel is back under one year after the release of their new record Only Constant, and they're as savage as ever. Gel is now streaming "Mirage" from their upcoming EP Persona due out August 16, which you can can check out above alongside a music video directed by Eric Richter (Knocked Loose, Jesus Piece, Koyo).
Persona was produced and engineered by Jon Markson (Drug Church, Drain, Jivebomb). "We really wanted to fill out the songs more and make them more nuanced," said Gel vocalist Sami Kaiser of the EP. "It's a step forward, it's different, it's catchy, but it still really sounds like us."
Pre-orders are available here. You can also check out Gel at one of their very many dates below. Tickets are available here.
