Badburn are back! The legendary Filipino hardcore band have officially dropped 'Law of the Scale', their first new song in 14 years. Fierce, unrelenting, and razor-sharp, the track marks a powerful comeback for one of the most influential acts in the Philippine heavy music scene.
Rooted in themes of justice, consequence, and personal reckoning, 'Law of the Scale' delivers a crushing dose of Badburn's signature intensity. Recorded at Tower of Doom Studios in Quezon City, the single captures the band's raw aggression and evolved sonic weight -- a sound both forged in their past and sharpened for the present.
"We don't claim to have mapped the contours of today's hardcore," the band shares. "But these new songs feel like they've earned their place in it. It's not about keeping up. It's about showing up with something honest that still hits hard."
Accompanying the single is a lyric video now streaming on the band's YouTube channel, offering fans both new and old a direct look at their no-holds-barred message. They also released a live performance video from New Music Night at Unknown13 Pub in Quezon City, showing Badburn in full form -- loud, fierce, and fearless.
With a new full-length album in the works for 2026, 'Law of the Scale' is just the beginning of Badburn's next chapter. For longtime fans, it's a battle cry. For new listeners, it's a door kicked wide open.
