Hardhitting Albumreviews met -16-, Mrs. Piss, vvz, Wren en Oranssi Pazuzu

In deze zestiende editie van Hardhitting Albumreviews bespreken we vijf uiteenlopende nieuwe albums die afgelopen periode op de NMTH-radar verschenen. Met lome sludgemetal hakt -16- dromen aan gort met hun laatste muzikale uitspatting Dream Squasher. Mocht je nog niet uit de droom geholpen zijn na het beluisteren van dat album, dan schudden de dames Wolfe en Gowry je wakker als Mrs. Piss met hun ongebreidelde obsceniteit en ongetemde energie op

Albumreview: Frayle – 1692

De fascinatie met hekserij, zwarte magie en het occulte is nooit ver weg bij het uit Cleveland afkomstige Frayle. Met name het knooppunt tussen deze duistere ideeën met de realiteit lijkt de interesse van de band te trekken. Zo is er na de veelbelovende EP White Witch van vorig jaar nu het debuutalbum 1692, verwijzend naar het begin van de heksenprocessen in Salem. Angst voor vervolging en onderdrukking zijn op

LGW2019: A headfirst dive into a sea of noise and deprivation with Moon Relay and Girl Band

As usual Le Guess Who? has a lot to offer for enthusiasts of noise and experimental rock. From the wildly innovative, deeply unsettling or just immensely loud, bands all across this genre have made their way to Utrecht to wreak havoc this weekend. Primary among them on this Friday are the freewheeling spacerock of Moon Relay from Norway and the Irish menace Girl Band with the honours of properly ending

LGW2019: Who needs eardrums anyway? Lightning Bolts addictively destructive party at the end of the world 

The name Le Guess Who? has for many people become synonymous for breaking boundaries, experimentation and, even in louder genres, for good taste. However, what happened at the tail end of an already particularly noise-laden Friday night when Lightning Bolt took to the stage has nothing to do with all of the above. For anyone who’s already witnessed a live show by this duo before, or who’s heard of their
