Believe it or not, the second record from Witch Ripper is actually the second Sludge Rawk-type artist from Seattle we’re readying a review for. And! This beast also comes out on March 3rd! How do you like them apples?
[Read more…]Singles! Astral Bitch, “You’ve Got It Wrong/How To Breathe”
Whoa.
That’s about all we got when talking about the pair of singles recently debuted by Boston’s Astral Bitch. Now if it only it were that simple, right? Like, we say “YOU SHOULD REALLY LISTEN TO THIS!!!” and then you do and all is right in the world and everyone’s happy. But life ain’t simple which works out because we’re ALWAYS up for the challenge of convincing you why you should dig the hell out of this.
[Read more…]Singles! EN ESCH, “Push”
Fans of what many would consider the “classic” lineup of KMFDM in the mid-’90’s (Or maybe “Ultra” version is the more apt descriptor here) and who have been following the resurgence of PIG and Raymond Watts over the last 6 or so years should definitely pay attention to the first single off EN ESCH’s first new LP in over seven years. Because with “Push”, En Esch manages to encapsulate a LOT of what you might love about those two era’s while also striving to make a statement all its’ own.
[Read more…]Sandrider Bring The Heft, Heaviness, And Heart On Enveletration
There’s so much joy to be had in Enveletration, the fourth full-length from Seattle’s Sandrider. It’s a celebration from start to finish with equal parts old school Baroness, Unsane, early At The Drive-In, and ASG somewhere in the mix as well as a whole lotta heft, heaviness, and heart.
[Read more…]Singles! Sunshine Riot, “So It Comes”
We’re on the road to the release of the Loud, Bright and Violent EP and Boston’s Sunshine Riot is unveiling yet another slab of Steve Albini-recorded modern Alt for the masses with the release of the slick, suave, and steady sounding “So It Comes”.
[Read more…]NAUT Run The Goth Gamut On Equally Gloomy And Glowing Hunt
We’re suckers for Goth Rawk, okay? If we press “play” on a given record and we’re instantly transported to our favorite local club nights where the minimum dress code is “all black everything” then we’re in. And Bristol’s NAUT do that on their debut full-length Hunt so again, we’re in. Simple as that.
[Read more…]Hammerhedd Dive Deep On Modern Thrash Masterpiece Nonetheless
Like a lot of the Metal world, we were initially blown away by Hammerhedd when that Sepultura medley started making the rounds back in 2017 (Check it out here if you missed it). Since then the trio of Ismert brothers (Take that, Max and Iggor!) has spent their days honing their craft, expanding their sound, and creating a pretty rad debut full-length with 2021’s Grand Currents. Cut to today and the boys are back in town with 52 minutes of even heavier Metal and a sophomore opus that’s every bit as brilliant as their first yet something else entirely with added dimensions and depth to their established Nu-Thrash sound.
[Read more…]No Spill Blood Bring Sinister Synths To A Delightfully Different Kind Of Heaviness On Eye Of Night
We find it hard to believe that you’ll find a more eclectic concoction of heaviness in the year 2023 beyond what Dublin’s No Spill Blood is offering with their latest outing, Eye Of Night. Like this synthetic orchestra mixed with a diabolically visceral noise experiment, No Spill Blood’s newest LP is an incredible amalgamation of sound that worships the heavy in a lush, vibrant world.
[Read more…]REZN Launch A Harmonious Hum Of Heaviness On Vibrant Solace
We’ll take “Bands That Really BROUGHT IT in 2023” for $2000, Alex! Whoa. Just, whoa. Can that be our review? Solace, the latest from Chicago’s REZN is a transformative listening experience. It’s an album that can easily be enjoyed in parts but, in reality, is best enjoyed as a whole. That said, when you do choose to dive fully into Solace, and you definitely will choose to do so, make sure you set aside some tiiiime to enjoy it all at once.
[Read more…]Singles! The Rupert Selection, “Astronauts” & “Then Again”
Who is The Rupert Selection and why is they so frelling good? These answers and more you’ll find in the latest edition of “Whoops, looks like we missed another goddamn great Boston outfit floating right under our noses”! Please join us, won’t you?
