NOIA

5th album from 2018 by this veteran Italian outfit, one of the strongest underground European acts when it comes to merging Crust Punk, Black Metal and Thrash Metal. On "Iron Death", NOIA pushes its formula to a new level of intensity through a fierce combination of razor-sharp riffs, relentless rhythms and a dark, apocalyptic atmosphere that never lets up.

Avoiding an overly polished production, the band delivers a raw and powerful sound that enhances the aggression of fast-paced, direct and rage-fuelled songwriting. "Iron Death" perfectly represents the evolution of a group that has forged its own identity within the European extreme scene, successfully blending the energy of Crust with the savage attack of Blackened Thrash.

Recommended for fans of: AURA NOIR, INEPSY, TOXIC HOLOCAUST, MIDNIGHT.
