Yeah, look, I know I’m probably not going to introduce anyone to Magic Sword. The Idaho based project is not a secret to anyone well versed in the ever-growing realms of synthwave. In my defense, I noticed we’ve never covered Magic Sword explicitly on the blog and the new album,…
In a moment of gaping shock, my jaw nearly hit my chest when I got tagged in a most unexpected post. One of the sneakiest best trios OF ALL DAMN TIME were ruining the rest of my year with their October release of IV, the eagerly anticipated follow-up to III,…
Another day, another excellent find in the treasure troves that is Small Stone Recordings backlog. This time, I stumbled upon Genova’s Isaak based on the artwork for their 2015 release, Sermonize. By the time I hit the third track, “Fountainhead”, I was certain that this was the Torche/Lo-pan like stoner…

For those who missed our last installment, We post bi-weekly updates covering what the staff at Heavy Blog have been spinning. Given the amount of time we spend on the site telling you about music that doesn’t fall neatly into the confines of conventional “metal,” it should come as no…

Not just one. Not even two. Three! Three brand new microdoses of pissed off, cathartic grinding from mainland Europe. Like an edgy cocktail of swirling football violence and brutalist poetry, we have a track from each band from this upcoming three-way split. Poland’s Psychoneurosis, Herida Profunda, and the Dutch savages…
