Insurrect – Fucking Infinity — 2012, 2008

I've lived in Cleveland for most of my life and I've come to know the city as quite the haven for metal. I guess there is just something about this city that breeds the urge to grab a guitar and tear it up. Insurrect is easily the best-kept secret of Cleveland's metal scene. But, while other bands have garnered much greater attention, these metalheads are just as deserving.

Fucking Infinity is the band's debut offering, a seven-song near-forty minute slab of wax filled with an unrelenting metal attack that'll have even the most uptight hipster thrashing with the longhairs. The record boasts cut after cut of classic black metal that is accented with influence from thrash, death metal, and NWOBHM titans Iron Maiden. Insurrect sure do shred, coming off like a faster and more venomous version of Shadows Fall. By the time this album is over you'll be drenched in sweat and dizzy from all the headbanging.

With the release of Fucking Infinity Insurrect have unleashed themselves onto the masses. While the limited available of this vinyl may hinder the band's notice initially, their determination to join the ranks of their influences will undoubtedly bring them the recognition they deserve.

Expect garage rock guitar tones, slacker indie rock … Read more

Dracones
Editions Mego (2025)

Huma Utku is an explorer. From her early days under the R.A.N (Roads at Night) moniker, she displayed a deep appreciation for experimental electronic music. From the outset, Utku wove together dark ambient motifs, industrial themes, and post-club abstraction into a minimalist yet holistic vision. Since adopting her own name, that same sonic excavation has continued, with a sharpened focus … Read more

Mama Killa
Burning Ambulance (2025)

Ava Mendoza appeared in the avant-rock scene in the '10s, and throughout the decade, she defined many works with her adventurous guitar playing and tonality. She made her mark through projects like Unnatural Ways, the trio with Tim Dahl and Sam Ospovat, and her split release with Sir Richard Bishop of Sun City Girls, Ivory Tower. Along her journeys, she … Read more
