Love at first sight.
'The Forever Story' by JID is an album I quite frankly didn't know the existence of until a few weeks ago when I heard massive praise for it, being said to stand toe-to-toe with many other hip-hop classics. When I opened up the page for this record I didn't expect to see such a big score and it instantly catched my attention, especially for an artist I only ever knew of because of that awful Imagine Dragons song he did a feature in.
With all that said, ... read more

Merge Knocked Loose's "Laugh Tracks era" ferociousness with Alpha Wolf-style production and a surprisingly tasteful pinch of Justice-like electronics on the side and this might just be what you'll get.
'Holy Design' is a merciless concoction of hardened metalcore, that through its 25-minute runtime, manages to execute the saturated genre with renewed vigor and aggression, and despite the previously mentioned comparisons, meshes them together in its own package of ... read more
Gazecore engineered to make ascend just before a crushing breakdown brings you back to Earth.
fromjoy is a metalcore album with elements of drum and bass, vaporwave and even anime sampling, and despite how chronically online that might sound, it manages to be undeniably captivating, as here it's all meshed in an unhinged sludge-fest fever dream, where your only options are to either keep headbanging, or to pass out due to the drugs you must've took before entering the place where ... read more

fromjoy's latest EP, while filled with great songs, feels like a small downgrade from their 2023 self-titled project.

This will probably go down as the most important review I've written since I started doing this as a hobby. Vildhjarta is my favorite band, so I apologize in advance for any assessments that might come off as heavily based around my emotional investment in them, rather than pure critical analysis. To those who would still like to continue, thank you so much for taking the time.

Somewhere between critical analysis and a heartfelt connection to the art form.
I mainly do metal reviews but I'm always open for other genres as well.
