Oh. OH. ‘Wet Death’. That’s the new single from Norwegian deathpop outfit Blood Command, and it’s as disturbingly fun as it sounds. With their fusion of pounding punk rhythms and tinkling synths, the deathpoppers force you down a rabbit hole into a pile of spit-roasting two steppers and launch you back out only once you’re sufficiently drenched in screaming whimsy. The layering of Nikki Brumen’s roars take on a paralysing, possessed quality – think Galadriel’s green-faced coming undone in The Fellowship of the Ring, but if she was wearing a two-piece tracksuit and backed by a grizzly set of bass lines. They’ve torn away the pop party and replaced it with a spiralling rage that wakes up the need to bounce. – Lucy DunnetMon, 23 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.noizze.co.uk/clt-drp-sans-froid-love-rarely-and-more-new-noizze-the-12-must-listen-tracks-of-last-week/https://distortedsoundmag.com/interview-the-hara-moshpits-gorillas-and-nuggets-of-glory/“The gorilla turned away because he was scared of Jack.” All Jack Kennedy had to do to earn his place in what would later become THE HARA was jump into a gorilla enclosure and survive.

Scott Vogel spits out every lyric with a punishing force that is matched only by the predictably damaging thick riff lashings. ‘Still Suffer’ is the title track off Terror’s upcoming album, out 24th April, which the band has promised is “ten fast, aggressive, in-your-face tracks that embrace the themes that made Terror so influential in the first place.” Don’t be fooled.
