Chicago thrash-metalcore band Hurtlocker formed in 1998 and released a series of demos before issuing Fear in a Handful of Dust (2005) and Embrace the Fall (2007) on Napalm Records. Their sound bridged the aggressive thrash metal of the Bay Area with the metalcore aggression prominent in the mid-2000s American heavy scene. The band has since dissolved, leaving behind a compact catalog that reflected the crossover moment between those two worlds.
