Album Review: Sensory Amusia – “Breed Death” (Brutal Death)

May 14, 2022 zaxrecordreviews

I first became familiar with Australian brutal death metal unit Sensory Amusia back in 2020 because of their Bereavement EP. That was a strong release, and given that, I was excited to hear this new record, but nothing could’ve prepared me for just how badass this listen would be! […]

Album Review: Spill Your Guts – “The Wrath It Takes” (Blackened Hardcore)

March 21, 2022 zaxrecordreviews

Every now and again, I hear a record where I can tell each and every member poured their heart and soul into their craft, and this new Spill Your Guts record is certainly one of them. There is so much triumphant intensity radiating off this album; this international unit absolutely refused to give into that sophomore slump. […]

Album Review: Krvvla – “X” (Black Metal)

March 14, 2022 zaxrecordreviews

It’s hard to find stuff that pushes the boundaries these days. Albums that bewilder me with pure unadulterated chaos are few and far between, but just a few minutes into this new Krvvla record, I knew I had stepped into something relentlessly unholy. […]

Album Review: Pillaging Villagers – S/T (Crossover Thrash)

February 19, 2022 zaxrecordreviews

I love it when I can have a good time with an extreme metal record. Genuinely fun bands are getting harder and harder to come by nowadays, but luckily for us, we now exist in the same timeline as Pillaging Villagers. […]

Album Review: Black Altar/Vulture Lord – Deathiah Manifesto (Black Metal)

February 14, 2022 zaxrecordreviews

Man, 2022 is already shaping up to be a way better year for black metal than 2021 was. I understand that black metal is generally a cesspool, but the best black metal out there is as good as extreme metal gets, period. The genre also produces a lot of badass splits, and we’re taking a look at one of those today. […]

Album Review: Zetra – From Without (Goth Rock)

February 8, 2022 zaxrecordreviews

This is definitely the furthest thing from metal I’ve ever reviewed on Noob Heavy, but this site’s jurisdiction isn’t really ironclad or anything, so let’s talk about something neat! […]

Noob Heavy’s January Jams

February 1, 2022 Noob Heavy admin

Written by Melinda, Kep, Espi Kvlt, Zax and Valky We used to do a weekly roundup but it’s so hard to get going in the new year, who wants to pay attention to anything during […]

Album Review: Age Of Apocalypse – “Grim Wisdom” (Hardcore)

January 31, 2022 zaxrecordreviews

I think it’s hard to beat the feeling of going into an album totally blind and absolutely loving what you hear. Age Of Apocalypse are a fairly new band out of New York and they’re signed with Closed Casket Activities. Given that, I was expecting an above average hardcore record, but what I got was that and so much more! […]

2022

Album Review: Shadow Of Intent – “Elegy” (Melodeath)

January 24, 2022 zaxrecordreviews

In 2019, Shadow Of Intent dropped their 3rd record Melancholy and absolutely rocked the extreme metal scene, though I’ve been a fan of them since early 2017, just months before they released their second album Recreant. […]

2022

Album Review: Hegeroth – “Sacra Doctrina” (Black Metal)

January 16, 2022 zaxrecordreviews

Alright Noob Heavy, it’s time to kick off 2022 with a bang. Yes, I’m starting off this frigid, grey month with some beastly black metal from Poland! This is Hegeroth’s 4th album and my first go around with them. […]
