Time To Kill Records is proud to present “Mirrors”, the second single from Italian hardcore outfit RESPECT FOR ZERO’s upcoming EP “Overtime”, due out on June 30th, 2025.
“Mirrors” showcases a more brooding side of the band. Fusing razor-sharp riffs, pounding rhythms and emotionally-charged breakdowns, the track reflects on inner conflict and fractured identity without losing the raw aggression that defines RESPECT FOR ZERO’s sound “Mirrors” reaffirms the band’s ability to evolve within hardcore’s framework, channeling both fury and vulnerability into a cohesive and hard-hitting anthem.

The band commented:
“The lyrics critique a dystopian society in which people—referred to as “dying brains”—are manipulated and controlled. They lead empty lives, blindly obeying and chasing unattainable dreams. The media and the obsessive pursuit of money are portrayed as tools of manipulation, used to conceal darker truths. The lyrics convey a sense of disillusionment and warn of the danger of losing one’s individuality”.

RESPECT FOR ZERO is a hardcore band from Sant’Elpidio a Mare, on Italy’s east coast, active since 2013. Their name doesn’t stand for “respect for nothing” but rather for respect for those who are treated like zero compared to corrupt politicians and the authorities who exploit us.
The band channels the rage of a generation raised in the suburbs, without comfort, and under the repression of the global underground culture—constantly stifled by the church and a bigoted mindset. The band stands firmly against fascism.
RESPECT FOR ZERO has shared the stage with bands such as Terror, Ratos de Porão, Expire, No Turning Back, WarCry, Bent Life, Trash Talk, Comeback Kid, H2O, Impact, Bull Brigade, Meet the Storm, Strength Approach, Slander, Straight Opposition, Face Your Enemy, Mud, Chains, and many more!
