People behind the production
Direct Measure is a five-piece metallic hardcore outfit from St. Louis, formed in 2018 as Brute Force and later rebranded for a broader, heavier sound. Drawing from late-80s NYHC crossover, they fuse brutal riffs with aggressive delivery and occasional melodic interludes. Over the years, they’ve built a reputation for high-energy live sets and thoughtful, cathartic performances that resonate with both hardcore purists and metal fans.
