Diemen Sniep – Life Without Adrenaline (JauneOrange)

I’d not heard of Diemen Sniep before but my crib sheet told me that they are an experimental noise rock band from Liège in Belgium. I’d not heard of their label either but looking at the JauneOrange site, they look… Continue Reading →

Throat – Smile Less (Svart Records)

Throat sound like they should be some awful metalcore, sample driven, knuckleheaded cagoule wearing, tight jeans wearing blot on the heavy music horizon band, but luckily for me (and you) they’re not that at all. In fact, what these glorious… Continue Reading →

Årabrot – Norwegian Gothic (Pelagic)

While mankind has probably been sharing frightening stories since developing coherent speech, the emergence of the gothic novel marks the modern beginnings of the horror genre. The Castle of Otranto and everything that followed gave the world the grotesque, the… Continue Reading →

Nokti – Cockschmerzen (HauRuck)

From Zagreb, Croatia, come Nokti (Eng.: nails, as in fingernails, and biting), presenting their debut Cockschmerzen – six rather short tracks of anxiety-driven, unease-filled noise rock, adding up to about 15 minutes of playtime. Starting with the oil-on-canvas cover art,… Continue Reading →

Valse Noot – Utter Contempt – (Atypeek Music)

It’s the end of a challenging, yet somewhat Groundhogian (it’s not a word but should be) week, where life has seemed to pass by, less like a blur but more like a slightly injured slug who’s been on the piss… Continue Reading →

A Shape – Iron Pourpre (Atypeek)

The idea that this was noise rock and “organised chaos” was intriguing enough for me to want to listen to it. A Shape are from France, and this is their second album. Away we go with the mind-blowing “Black Mamba”…. Continue Reading →

Expander – Neuropunk Boostergang (Profound Lore)

This quartet from Austin Texas caught my attention with last album Endless Computer on Nuclear War Now in 2017. They had a mutoid, squat-Atompunk sound that twisted and turned all over the place and was quite a weird sounding trip… Continue Reading →

Kevlar Bikini – OPT-OUTism (Geenger Records)

Although slightly late to this bikini party (story of my life), I really enjoyed this Croatian trio’s 3rd album Rants, Riffage And Rousing Rhythms released via Geenger Records back in 2018. Although not the sort of style that I would… Continue Reading →

Human Impact – S/T (Ipecac Recordings)

In what could only be described as any self-respecting fan of so called ‘Noise Rock/Metal’, this judicious melding of minds between Chris Spencer (Unsane), Jim Coleman’s sampling mayhem (Cop Shoot Cop), Phil Puleo (Cop Shoot Cop/Swans) and sticky, pounding bass… Continue Reading →

The Glad Husbands – Safe Places (Atypeek Music)

With a name like The Glad Husbands you could be forgiven for thinking that they can be found playing second fiddle to Mumford and Sons at a cheese rolling festival in Gloucester; however you’d be way off the mark.  As… Continue Reading →

Drose – Boy Man Machine+ (Computer Students)

Everything about this release has been meticulously thought about, the minutiae of detail is formidable to the point of being pedantic but for a geek like me it was extremely well appreciated and admirable. The whole double vinyl package is… Continue Reading →

Lunden – S/T (Abstract Tits)

Childish or not, one is always going to throw the words Abstract Tits into an Internet image search and see what artistic results it comes up with. Quite disappointing really but the label in question are apparently Danish and have… Continue Reading →
