NO CLEAN SINGING had a look at Noise Aholic’s new album. Here’s a snippet o what they had to say:
“The songs don’t f**k around. With visceral intensity, they get blood rushing and muscles moving, a catharsis for pissed-off moods, and sometimes tremolo’d chords and furiously hammering drums send the music into convulsions of raw violence. But the songs also return to episodes of grief, despair, and hopelessness, channeled by despairing guitar melodies that spear out and up, anchored by undercurrents of staggering heaviness (“Självhat” is a particularly powerful example of this).”

Check the whole text at No Clean Singing.

For this weekend Islander prepared an extensive Saturday roundup of new songs and videos, and then got delayed by technical difficulties in launching it. But now it's alive, and it includes a broad (and mostly very intense) array of experiences, thanks to these eight bands: LAIR OF THE MINOTAUR (U.S.), Skaphos (France), Witch Ripper (U.S.), Sisyphean (Lithuania), Void of Light (Scotland), DEPRESSION NAP (U.S.), Apostle (U.S.), and NOISE AHOLIC (Finland, via Elitbolaget.

HardRockInfo took Noise Aholic's En värld styrd av lögner for a spin.

"Sure, this sounds good. But as most of these 12 songs sounds more or less the same, you get tired after just a few songs. But that's on the other hand nothing unusual when it comes to this kind of music. And fact is that it still kicks ass, so I continue to listen anyway. So if you like old school crust punk chaos, then you check this out, and that's it.
As the songs are pretty short, 37 seconds to 2 and a half minutes, it's a pretty short album, and maybe not really a full-length. But more songs would have been too much, so that's o.k."

Full review in the comments.

NO CLEAN SINGING had a look at Noise
Aholic’s fresh single. Have a go at it!

This week's NCS SEEN AND HEARD roundup moves in even more divergent directions than usual, starting off in a raging fury and ending with melancholic rock, with other dramatic divergences along the way. This collection includes songs from forthcoming records by No/Más (U.S.), NOISE AHOLIC (Finland, via Elitbolaget), VREID (OFFICIAL) (Norway), TANIN'IVER (Australia, via MSH Music Group), and De l’Abîme Naît l’Aube (Switzerland), and a posthumously released solo album by SINDRE NEDLAND, a member of In Vain and Funeral prior to his passing last spring. Find the music, videos, and Islander's reviews via the comment link below.

Hey friends, Varoshan’s epic debut …And Then the Rains Came" is in stock on a limited cassette (60 pcs). If you missed it in 2022, you still have time to join the eternal night. Varoshan is for fans of Neurosis, Converge, My Dying Bride, et al. Here's a glimpse of what NO CLEAN SINGING had to say back in 2022:

The album moves through a slow, dark, gritty blend of hardcore ethos and atmospheric weight across six tracks — including the long-form pieces “The Crow”, “The Wrath”, “The Tyrant”, “The Message”, and “The Snake” — Varoshan shape a sound marked by heavy, jarring grooves, raw vocals, bleak melodies, and occasional glimmers of electronic eeriness. The performances are striking throughout, with dynamic shifts that keep the music unsettling and immersive. “The Message” also features a haunting guest appearance by Riina Rinkinen (Silentium). And the closing track, “The Snake”, slips into a gothic shade unlike the rest — quietly entrancing in its own way.

There's not much to add, so go and listen to it on Spotify, Bandcamp, etc. (links in comments) and then get Varoshan’s debut on tape. It is still available from Recordshopx.com and from Elitbolaget's bandcamp (links in comments).

Metallibändi Varoshan julkaisee kaksi singleä ennen 11.1.2022 debyyttialbumiaan.
