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.

The Verdict? Those expectations were met. It'd be silly to say Songs of a Lost World is a "return to form" as the band and … Read more

So Far Out
Brassneck Records, It's Alive (2024)

There are few bands that hit with the mix of raw emotion and musical talent as a live City Mouse show. There are even fewer bands that can capture that live feeling on a record. It’s been a long 7 years since Get Right, but So Far Out keeps it moving as if no time has passed. Of course, the … Read more

Future Classic (2024)

Ideally, I would be a bit more interested in art. In visual art- paintings, sketches, MS Paint monstrosities- whatever. I wish I knew more about the meaning of a brush stroke or even had the desire to know more about the meaning of a brush stroke. I spend a lot of time listening to music and, subsequently, I see a … Read more
