What do you get when you combine ferocious, hard-hitting metalcore in a blender with elements of hip-hop, grime, hardcore and alternative metal—then finish it off with a dash of introspection and more than its fair share of brazen, no-holds-barred atmosphere? 
 You get Borders, a young but driven collective hellbent on taking the heavy music community by storm with an onslaught of thought-provoking, sinister and brutally aggressive tracks. Built around an impetus that obliterates any notion of single-genre classification in favor of an immersive yet punishingly heavy experience, Borders continually push the limits of what one would expect from any band in the metalcore circuit.
