Uitwaaien – One Way (Album)
💥 Out December 19, 2025 💥

New York’s hardcore juggernaut Uitwaaien comes roaring back with One Way — a full-length statement that hits like a brick to the face and never lets up. Eight tracks. Zero compromise. All heart, sweat, and fury.

If their last record Beneath The Surface cracked the pavement, One Way sets it on fire. This is Uitwaaien evolved — faster, tighter, more direct, yet heavier in spirit than ever before. The band leans into the ferocious groove of mid-to-late ’80s hardcore — Gang Green, Murphy’s Law, D.R.I. — but filters it through a distinctly modern lens: crisp production, urgent hooks, and lyrics that stare straight into the chaos of now.

From the unflinching rage of Control Is A Lie to the blazing defiance of Burning Bright, from the slow-burning heaviness of Hey, You Still There? to the high-velocity blast of Glass In The Rearview, the singles alone prove why Uitwaaien are one of the most vital new voices in hardcore. But it’s the new cuts — Spit It Out, Paper Shields, Where Did I Go?, and the explosive closer Short Fuse, Long Day — that complete the picture. Each track feels like a punch, a purge, and a purpose.

Lyrically, One Way is as personal as it is political — disillusionment, exhaustion, resistance, and the stubborn will to keep moving forward even when every road seems blocked. It’s about the fight that never ends — the internal one, the social one, the one that defines what it means to still care in a world gone numb.

Fueled by basement sweat, late-night arguments, and the sound of a band with nothing left to prove but everything left to say, Uitwaaien have crafted their most focused, ferocious record yet.

No detours. No apologies.
This is hardcore as motion. This is One Way.

[Verse 1]
Frozen edge—
(Night never sleeps)
One shout cuts—
(Through the peaks)
Front line first—
(Temper loud)
Too many chips—
(Dough burns proud)
Cheek marks tight—
(Fang in view)
Yellow eyes—
(Don’t miss you)
Grey cloak swings—
(Warning hits)
Clear the path—
(That’s it)

[Pre-Chorus]
No soft beds—
(No slips)
Rules bite hard—
(Clenched fists)
Call them pets—
(Say it twice)
That mistake—
(Costs a price)

[Chorus]
One howl!
(Move now!)
Move fast!
(No ask!)
Ice breaks—
(Stone cracks—)
Border safe—
(Night’s done!)

[Verse 2]
Arm plate spins—
(Black and chipped)
Three-blade bite—
(Don’t get missed)
Licorice tides—
(Frozen line)
Every threat—
(Cut on time)
Quick to snap—
(Core stays true)
Run with him—
(Always do)
Morning calm—
(Earned, not luck)
Patrol passed—
(That’s enough)

[Pre-Chorus]
Dreams get loud—
(Sugar near)
Rules stay sharp—
(Mind stays clear)
Fear of drills—
(Keeps it tight)
Squad stays ready—
(Every night)

[Chorus]
One howl!
(Move now!)
Move fast!
(No ask!)
Ice breaks—
(Stone cracks—)
Border safe—
(Night’s done!)

[Bridge]
Wolf mark—
(Grey back)
Snow slows—
(No pack)
Say it once—
(They’re gone)
Dark stays quiet—
(Till dawn)

[Final Chorus]
One howl!
(Move now!)
No delay—
(No doubt!)
Front stays clear—
(Job done—)
Border safe—
(Night’s done!)
