It was believed that The Pyongyang Hardcore Resistance is a hardcore electronic band that's part of the Pyongyang's underground anarchist movement. An extreme electronic/ hardcore/speedcore/breakcore producing duo situated in Pyongyang, North-Korea.
In 2012 the truth was made clear by PHR: "The Pyongyang Hardcore Resistance members are not North-Korean and this project took place outside of North-Korea for the entire time. We are sorry for everyone who believed in us, you have the right to be angry, but I hope that you can eventually forgive us. We still have no intention to reveal who we really are. This project was never about our egos, it was about giving hope for people, so I hope you understand. Hang in there and never lose hope, we love you Korea!
Also remember to support South-Korean hardcore and, when the day finally arrives, support Pyongyang's underground hardcore scene!
Our Myspace site will be deleted some time after this final release, but we will have it up for long enough, so that enough witnesses can confirm that this release and message are indeed real. Any supposed statements by us that you might see after the deletion are fake. The only statements can be found in the music that we have left behind.
Thank you for your support and farewell!"
