I haven’t reviewed any black metal for Noob Heavy since June. That’s kind of lame huh? I’ve noticed that 2021 has had a lot less in the way of stellar black metal, or maybe I’ve just been listening to less of it, either way, this record is a breath of fresh air. […]
I’ve always enjoyed going into projects completely blind, especially when the band/artist is brand new/unheard of. In that instance there are a lot of possibilities, and as someone who listens to so much music every week, that bit of unpredictability adds a certain spark to your listening. […]
I feel like you don’t hear a lot about Italian extreme metal on an international level, but man, every year I wind up with a handful of badass Italian records. This record in particular is one of the nastiest things I’ve heard all year. […]
October 29th was a BIG release day for metal. There were new drops from Archspire, Whitechapel, and much more. Pickings were not slim this week, but let me tell you First Fragment stole the fucking show. It must be something in the water up in Canada cause they’re loaded with the best tech death you could ask for. […]
Witnesses is the musical gift that keeps on giving this year. Witnesses is a solo project out of New York, and if you’ll recall, around the summer of 2020, I reviewed his album Doom II which was followed by an interview shortly thereafter. Well, Witnesses has released three whole projects since then, including his newest doom metal venture, The Collapse dropping on Halloween! […]
When discussing the best modern death metal, I don’t hear Aeon’s name pop up nearly as often as it should, and as I was listening to this new record and rekindling my love for their previous ones, I couldn’t help but wonder why that might be. These guys can craft a groovy, hard-hitting riff like nobody else; they just generally release some of the most kickass, straight up death metal out there, but they don’t release it very often. […]
2021 has been a bit… dry for hardcore. It’s very possible that I’m just not looking in the right places, but aside from a handful of releases (most of which you could only loosely dub hardcore) I’ve not found much. Given that, I was very excited to learn that God Complex were releasing a new album, but this excitement was bittersweet as well. […]
You haven’t known true auditory destruction until you’ve listened to Frontierer. Frontierer is one of the heaviest bands of all time. Yeah, it doesn’t get much more crushing than this folks. I’ve been listening to these guys for a while now, but if you’re reading this and this is your first go round with the beast that is Frontierer, prepare yourself for something absolutely nuts. […]
The new wave of OSDM revival has been good all around in my opinion. Of course you have the all stars like Tomb Mold and Blood Incantation who are killing it, but if you dig just a little deeper, there’s a subset of bands who are grinding out this ultra esoteric, authentic brand of OSDM, type of shit where you could tell me it came out in ’89 and I’d believe you, that’s what you really want to look for. What we’re also seeing a lot of is actual OSDM bands from the early 90s coming back from the dead to unleash ungodly amounts of brutality, such is the case with California’s Ruin. […]
This week was pretty massive for death metal, both Aborted and Inferi dropped this week, along with a young favorite of mine, Æpoch, dropping a new EP. All of those projects were brilliant, but you know what? Experimental death metal newcomers Headshrinker managed to grab my attention over all of the aforementioned projects. […]
