Underneath – From the Gut of Gaia
> Metallic hardcore
> Pennsylvania, US
> Releasing January 19
> Syrup Moose Records
If you ask me, Pittsburgh crew Underneath are already one of the hottest young forces on the metallic hardcore scene. Their debut EP Nothing Here is Held Sacred, which came out in January of last year, completely blew me away (and ended up in my top ten EPs list on twitter), and the two-sided single they put out in June wasn’t anything to sneeze at either. Their visceral, ugly take on the style has already felt notably d ..read more

Well folks, the year is halfway over. That means 50% of 2023’s release Fridays are in the past. And while much of the world seems to be going to the shithouse (especially in the US), at least our cup is overflowing with kickass music. Let’s run over the music from June that we, the Noob Heavy writing staff, loved.
As usual, here are quick links to our reviews of June releases:
Pupil Slicer – Blossom
Thantifaxath – Hive Mind Narcosis

Incandesca – Destronomer
> Progressive deathcore
> Maine, US
> Releasing April 21
> Alien Swarm Records
It doesn’t take much to see that the world around us is burning. Economies collapsing across the globe, climate crisis after climate crisis, and don’t get me started on the billionaires. What are we to do about it all? What can we do? And if we could fix it all, would we?
These are questions to which Incandesca seeks to answer. On their debut full-length, Destronomer, the follow-up to last year’s self-titled EP, the fate of ..read more

What up y’all, Jangel here with my AOTY list! If you don’t know me I write (not as much as I should) for Noob Heavy and run our Instagram account. I wrote this list and do other music things on occupied Ohlone Ramaytush land. If you wanna check out the music I make I’m in a couple bands, HARJO and Icepick to the Face, and I have a solo project, Fire at the Plantation House. These are the 15 records that I enjoyed most this year. I’m not into giving scores or rankings to music so there’s none of that here. If you find something here that you like, that’s new to you, and/or fills you with the ra ..read more
