You know what’s incredibly impressive to me? Bands of different genres with enough chemistry to pull off a cohesive and fantastic split. I feel like it’s not praised enough when done, but that’s likely because it seldom happens. The amount of craftsmanship that has to go into that is crazy to me! Right here folks, we have the very definition of that. […]
There are certain bands and albums that I hear, like this one, that remind me why I do this, remind me why I spend countless hours listening to and writing about music, even if some of what I hear is bad or disposable. I do it, in part, to discover hidden gems, like Maudiir, or Descensum from last week. I love finding new bands with little to no label support, cause it feels like I’ve just been let in on an awesome secret and given the responsibility to tell anyone who’ll listen. […]
So, we’re a month into 2021, and I hate to be negative, but it’s been a bit underwhelming thus far, as far as music goes. January is always slow for new releases, but I’m hearing a lot of stuff that’s just leaving me sort of lukewarm, not good or great, but also not bad enough to draw any kind of reaction out of me, and as a music critic, that’s really just the worst sort of record you can come across. So, last weekend, while sifting through a pile of records that weren’t really doing much for me one way or the other, I stumbled upon this gem! The artwork immediately caught my eye, but it being described to me as blackened/symphonic tech death caught my attention. […]
Since 2019’s Deserted, Gatecreeper have cemented themselves as the band to watch out for, and this new surprise album confirms what we’ve been thinking for years now, Gatecreeper kicks fucking ass. […]
Nothing feels fresher as a music critic than starting a new year in music, and I’m starting it right here at Noob Heavy with an upcoming release from the powerhouses in Abiotic, which is to be released by Noob Heavy favorites The Artisan Era on February 12th! […]
Deeds Of Flesh are a truly important and influential act in the death metal scene. Not only do they have several classic album under their belt, but members went on to create my absolute favorite record label, Unique Leader Records.

I’m back, and my black metal streak is over. What ended it? Well… Hatebreed! Hatebreed are a bit of a contentious band, cause they have what I’ve dubbed the “Lamb Of God problem.” They have a considerable and devoted fanbase, but generally aren’t exactly critical darlings due to sorta kinda releasing the same album over and over again. Like Lamb Of God, however, I happen to like this pony’s one trick. […]
Fuck it, more black metal! This time I’m covering a split between two relatively obscure bands from the United Kingdom: Reign and Rulum. I’ve actually never covered a split on the site before, but hey, there’s a first time for everything. […]
This is the second black metal album I’ve covered in a row on this site this month, in case you were wondering what the winter does to me. Ironically enough, it hardly even gets cold here in Florida, but I digress. This is far different from last week’s pick though, it’s something much less primitive and much more epic and symphonic! […]
I’m just now realizing that I haven’t covered a proper black metal album on here since, shit, June… That said, with the beginning of November and the inevitable winter on the horizon, I figure it’s time to jump back into the darkest, coldest genre out there with this November 13th release. […]
