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.

Amy Beth And Thee Creeps

Shitheel EP
Chaputa! Records (2026)

Sometimes I like to come into a record as a blank slate. Amy Beth And Thee Creeps sent me a short email with their latest EP, Shitheel. It's a 4-song garage-punk ripper that's easily under 10 minutes. I just checked: it's five and a half minutes. With no bio, the music speaks for itself and this is rhythmic, pulsing garage … Read more
