The discography, in covers
The Records
The whole improbable catalog, told in three movements — the fuse that lit it, the two poles that defined it, and the circuit that carried it worldwide.
Movement I · 1983–1990
The fuse
Before "Krishnacore" was a word, the ideas were already in the records — Kali-Yuga on a Cro-Mags sleeve, straight edge as a discipline waiting for a faith.
Thou Shalt Not Kill

Shelter
The missionary pole — melodic, anthemic, an open hand. Full band page →
Certainty
the Passion
Movement II · The two poles · The reckoning
108

from a Dead Heart
Movement III · 1997 → now
The wider circuit
The second tier around the poles, the scenes that took it worldwide, and the new bands still carrying it.
- Better Than a Thousand — Ray Cappo & John Porcelly's straight-edge follow-up (Value Driven, 1997; Self Worth, 1999).
- Prema · Baby Gopal · Refuse to Fall · Worlds Collide — the second tier working their own stretch of devotional hardcore.
- Burn · Inside Out — the incendiary NYHC that Vic DiCara passed through on the way to 108.
- Europe & South America — the scenes that took the idea worldwide, each with their own bands, temples, and zines.
