Terra Sola does a neat job of connecting two running threads that I’ve been thinking about lately. The first is the experience of coming back to bands. I’ll be honest with you; I used to be a massive Rosetta but kind of fell away from them in the past few…
jeffk are a band I haven’t written about nearly enough, seeing as they make exactly the kind of groovy post-rock which I adore. Drawing on comparisons like 65daysofstatic (in their darker mode) or Town Portal, jeffk have been around for a few years now, with their debut LP, inadequate shelter,…
Since 2017, we’ve been wrapping up our end-of-year coverage with a Yearbook encompassing our favourite articles from the year; pieces we can be proud of and look back on in the years to come as the very best of what Heavy Blog has to offer. We love sharing things with…

September ends and with it, Summer fully dies. Especially where I’m presently at, the East Coast of the United States, the first brushes of Autumn are being felt. To be honest, there’s no better time of the year for metal; sure, Winter is black metal’s eternal domain but Autumn lends…
