Album Review: Rings Of Saturn – Gidim 10 (Deathcore)

October 28, 2019 Noob Heavy admin

Rings Of Saturn have been around for a bit perfecting their insane brand of techno death metal, and with this latest album they prove they can soar alongside current titans Infant Annihilator and Cattle Decapitation. 2019 keeps upping the vocal game and setting an insane standard that most just can’t compete with. Add an overgrown child prodigy of a guitarist and you’ve got the essence of RoS, it’s excessive… and fancy. Utilizing brutality with finesse rather than toxic bravado. I’ve heard so many albums try to reach this peak but fall short, so it’s not without pause that I consider this one of the greatest tech death works of like… the decade? Imagine if Dragonforce was good. […]

Album Review: Slugdge – Esoteric Malacology 8.7 (Prog Death)

October 8, 2018 Noob Heavy admin

Esoteric Malacology has some unexpectedly harsh death metal within the first part of the LP. With a lump of progressive elements and a thickness in the bottom of the mix that draws from their sludge namesake – Elements which are more thoroughly expressed in the mid to late parts. When the clean vocals also become prominent. Slugdge are a slug-themed sludge band but with this release the progressive death is really coming through more than anything else. The sludge is more from the mixing vibes. […]

Album Review: Spaceslug – Eye The Tide 8.5 (Doom/Post)

Eye The Tide immediately gripped me with its slow rocking guitars and grunge vocals. It’s sludge and it’s done well. I’ll always love this sound. It’s like being tucked into bed by the Yeti. This artwork is by Maciej Kamuda and it’s a great marine piece, one of my favorite art themes in music. […]

Album Review: Nekrogoblikon – Welcome To Bonkers 8.5 (Heavy Metal)

October 3, 2018 Noob Heavy admin

Nekrogoblikon are obviously about having fun with music and they still have done alright with reviews in the past, mostly getting through with high scores. I dig their approach, it’s a classic heavy metal sound with a lot of modern techniques and ideas thrown in. It borders on avant-garde in the vein of UneXpect but is just tight enough to be a serious composition. They have some good song writing that takes them above the meme they embody in their public personas and music videos. There’s some real poppy hooks like you’d expect from British rockers The Darkness. […]
