The Mincecore Manifesto, the latest EP from California mincecore masters, HAGGUS, is out now on Tankcrimes!

Positioned between classic anarcho-punk urgency and the most deranged edges of goregrind, The Mincecore Manifesto cements HAGGUS as the definitive force in modern mincecore. Arriving just one year after their critically adored Tankcrimes debut, Destination Extinction, the freaks are back and they’re faster, filthier, and more unhinged, channeling fan response into eight relentless tracks that strip the sound back to its rawest, most uncompromising form.

Rooted in the DNA of their early material but pushed to a more violent extreme, The Mincecore Manifesto delivers a pungent, punishing statement of intent. Lyrically, it rips into the political volatility of 2026 with raw hostility, pairing stripped-down songwriting with explosive energy to deliver a vicious return to form and chaotic escalation in their sound. No filler. No compromise. Just pure mincecore violence.

“…extremely extreme…” – Decibel Magazine

"Their lyrics may appear to be lashing out and projecting anger, but they seem intended to reflect the collective frustration of a lifestyle that’s had to fight against being suppressed. They’re not angry at the world for its own sake or faking crude behavior to appear cool; rather, they confront issues of universal concern. And they do so with greater urgency, energy, hostility, and violent fervor, escalating their streetwise anarcho-punk and goregrind to furious heights." – Asphyxium 'Zine

"The attitude and approach is to get in, punch you in the throat, and get out. Every song is a gem, from the first to the last." – Flying Fiddlesticks

"...a ridiculously easy EP to listen to. Catchy, dirty, slimy, and cool, it delivers on every level each and every second of each and every song. HAGGUS may not take over the world, but if there was any justice in this unworthy planet, they probably should." – Metal Epidemic

"The Mincecore Manifesto is not aimed at listeners searching for technical innovation; it resonates with those who still regard the physical intensity of extreme music, political hostility, and consciously preserved filth as central values. What matters here is not how complex the riffs are, but how convincingly the band transforms that sensation of uncontrolled collapse into a coherent aesthetic framework." – Pitstop Metal



"...raw, hostile and bubbling with ire; every tune is a punch to the gut of mediocrity, replacing it instead with the fast, filthy and downright unhinged. It’s a statement of intent from a band not willing to accept the world as it’s become." – The Razor's Edge

HAGGUS:

Hambone – strinx ‘n’ spew

Mr. Brisket – stranx ‘n’ splat

Kankle Hog – putrid pan man

Chum Bucket – oral support

Wiener Herzog – dabs ‘n’ doinx
