Heartless
Certain Death
I had never heard of Heartless. I didn’t know they were from Pittsburgh, I
didn’t know they were playing Maryland Death Fest, and I didn’t know they had a
new 7” coming out on Halo of Flies (which is a label I actually do know and
respect). Usually I’m ok with the fact that I’m slowly
falling out of touch with what’s new/noteworthy in heavy music, but I’m kinda
kicking myself that I didn’t know about Heartless earlier than now. Certain
Death is an incredibly heavy 7” that blends hardcore, metal, and grindcore
in an astoundingly impressive way. This
is music to destroy property to. The
production value is there, the ability to seamlessly blend styles is there, and
obviously genuine nature of this band’s aggression is consistently front and
centre.
I don’t know who decides which bands get jocked hard and
which bands have to slog it out on their own, but it really doesn’t make sense
that this band doesn’t enjoy the notoriety and success of bands like Nails. Since I can’t leap tall buildings in a single
bound or dedicate billions to developing a super high-tech cave, I’ll have to
live out my superhero fantasies by trying to get a band like Heartless the
recognition that they deserve. Fortunately,
Certain Death is the destructive
force of nature that will hopefully allow Heartless to gain the recognition
that they deserve.
Pick up the 7” over at Halo of Flies.
