Why this recording

Eight credited cameras, direction by Vallium Prod and mixing and mastering by 1408 Productions: the Violent Motion team, which has filmed Superbowl of Hardcore since at least the 2019 edition, brings a full production here, shot in 4K. The Boston band, formed in 2023 around singer Austin Sparkman, plays Le Jardin Moderne in Rennes on 27 June 2026, during its summer European tour. The set comes a few months ahead of I Don't Wanna Say Goodbye, an album announced on Roadrunner for 2 October.

Live set by the band Haywire captured at the Superbowl of Hardcore Fest in 2026, in a multicam recording. Rooted in the hardcore/metal scene, the band delivers a short, head-on set built for the pit: heavy riffs, breakdowns and the raw energy typical of the genre. This live capture conveys the physical intensity of a hardcore show, between direct interaction with the crowd, moshpit and non-stop sequencing. The full-set format follows the entire performance and shows the band’s stage impact in a dedicated festival setting. Representative of the vitality of the contemporary hardcore scene, this filmed live concert illustrates the communal spirit and urgency specific to this kind of event. Note: hardcore filed here under the metal genre. Keywords: Haywire live, hardcore, Superbowl of Hardcore, filmed concert, metal. The Superbowl of Hardcore brings together several bands from the scene for a dedicated line-up, in the community spirit dear to hardcore, where the line between stage and audience dissolves and this multicam footage captures that closeness.
