Additional
The Poison of the Fang (March 12, 2020) is a self-released four-track digital EP from Birmingham, Alabama crossover act Forced Neglect — their second EP and tightest compositional statement, compressing approximately nine minutes of hardcore-dominant crossover thrash into average track lengths under 2:15. Released days before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the US live music infrastructure and capping its physical edition at 20 cassettes, the record had no meaningful promotional runway; it nonetheless accumulated over 4,000 Last.fm listeners organically and drew consistent comparison to Power Trip's Relapse-era output from its Bandcamp audience. The band's self-applied death metal tag reflects a vocal register rather than structural influence, with the EP remaining firmly in the sub-3-minute punk economy of the crossover form. No producer, engineer, studio, or individual personnel credits are documented in any publicly accessible metadata.
