I’ve been listening to this album for weeks and it’s taken me some time to review it due to worldly circumstances at the moment (Black lives matter way more than promoting music). It’s been my go to album lately, up there with Sutrah, Lychgate, Ainsoph and Dyssidia. Witching combine doom sludge music with elements of post punk and post rock. It’s gloriously textured. […]
Here’s what I like so far. I haven’t come close to hearing everything but there’s still time for stuff to make it to the end of year list regardless of release. Links to Bandcamp unless it’s a more mainstream band then it’s Spotify. Check out the Spotify Playlist Noob Heavy Best Of 2020 which will also be the end of year playlist with staff picks added. This is just my curation. […]
Infant Island provides a noisey kind of skramz approach to the genre and I’ve been wondering what albums are out there post 2010 to listen to. Well, this is one of them. […]
I hate this kind of album so put on your helmet, I’m not holding back any punches. The top results for their name in google is “Blueshift – Customer Data Platform & Multi-Channel Activation”. Tough one to beat. […]
They really buried the lead with this one, it starts off much more typical than I would like for metallic hardcore, being closer to what I wanted the new Code Orange to be without adding all that much. About halfway at the track “Lost Visual” however, is an insane sonic moment that gripped me and filled me with shivers, allowing me to appreciate more on repeat listens. With that said, there are a few things for the album as a whole that could have improved it significantly. […]
A tasty morsel of ye ol’ black metal and something newer, something wilder. I don’t even mean modern, there’s just a lot of elements that deviate from the standard melodic and long winded frameworks that are popular right now with genres like post black making a huge push forward. This has punk and heavy metal vibes in it, it’s interesting because it’s easily beer drinking kind of metal but it’s also more sophisticated musically than that descriptor does justice. It’s a damn good time. Revel in the flesh! […]
A surprising re-entry album from a legacy Greek band, this is their first major release since 2013 and their first one on Transcending Obscurity. Since the 80s Death Courier have undergone several lineup changes and lengthy breaks but the creative force of Billy Soulas drives on unimpeded with this fantastic death record. You can always tell when an album is made by people who have been playing a specific genre for a long time, it has those old school vibes without trying too hard, a bit of that Cannibal Corpse Bloodthirst hammering. Less trendy and more authentic in sound. […]
Shatter Brain just put out their debut LP Pitchfork Justice after having a split and demo to their name since their formation in 2017. This new album marks a rise for the band in the underground Australian metal scene with an overall well rounded product. It certainly helps that they host a couple of their states largest metal festivals. […]
I’ll admit, I’ve listened to a lot of Body Count, as in, I’ve listened to the same album from the 90s a million times and never bothered going further or exploring their discography. So this album opened way fucking harder than I was ready for. I mean, second track around the 2:20 mark I had no choice but the throw-down – do you know how much strain that is for a 30 year old smoker? There’s a lot modern deathcore/metalcore elements that work nicely into the rap/rock dynamic. […]
What is it? When you hear the name Insect Ark it sounds it could be anything from grindcore and death to doom. Well it’s post metal. This is a super dense instrumental album that has a full cinematic experience to the sound. It washes over you like the warm onset of an opioid or day drinking. It will stir you like discomforting dreams in the night and wind you up only to release you yet again. It’s a highly rewarding listen each time. […]
