MNRK Heavy

BAND OF THE WEEK: HELD.

Held. are here and they are not about to loosen their grip! This new band on the scene that has caught my attention and I’m quite excited to share this with you all. Held. is made up of Douglas Robinson (vocals/guitars) who you know from The Sleeping and formerly of Night Verses, Sal Mignaro (bass) from The Sleeping and Josh Eppard (drums) of Coheed and Cambria. The band’s debut album “GREY” is headed for a May 15th release through MNRK Heavy. Their debut single/video for “New You Anthem” is as infectious as it is direct. The melodic nature balances quite well with the post-hardcore approach throughout. I have to say too its very cool to hear Douglas’s vocals like this again. I really enjoyed the Night Verses albums he was on and was disappointed when he left the band. But that was then and Held. is Now! Another fun and cool thing about “New You Anthem” it features My Chemical Romance’s Frank Iero on vocals as well. Frank adds another layer to this already great song. The voices of Douglas and Frank compliment each other very well. And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention how damn good Sal and Josh are as a rhythm section. I already knew Josh was a great drummer but, this just proves he’s damn good! Mark your calendars for May 15th and the release of Held.’s debut album, Grey!

Album Of The Week: Filth Is Eternal- Find Out


What you find out in about 30 minutes and 14 songs is that Filth Is Eternal is on a warpath! The way this album hits right out of the gate is quite the punch to the head. Filth Is Eternal is a band that pulls from a handful of genres like hardcore, grunge, punk, crust punk, and noise rock to create a style and sound that is brash and in your face while still carrying a sense of melody. Throughout Find Out, there’s all sorts of little nuances to pick up on with each listen. It’s quite fun to find all the ear candy in this album.

There’s a depth to the songs on a musical and lyrical level that most bands in their “spectrum” lack. The myriad of subjects tackled on Find Out is quite intriguing. The way the album flows weaves an intricate web of heaviness, aggression, and catchiness that is infectious. One of the thingsI love about Find Out is that when you listen it makes you want to move. The rhythms of drummer Emily Salisbury and bassist Rah Davis and riffs of Brian McClelland give you the step to get going and then when you add Lis Di Angelo’s vocals to it you get the bounce to really get in the groove. Another great aspect about Find Out is that it really feels like an “album.” What they are able to accomplish in 14 songs and 30 minutes is pure and concise and I can’t get enough of it. Each song brings it’s own charm to the table and that’s part of what makes this album standout. I will say this, The first half will grab you and then the latter half of the album is particularly a sweet spot!

Find Out was produced by Paul Fig who has worked with Jerry Cantrell, Alice In Chains, etc but, is also remembered by me most of all as being a member of Amen! Filth Is Eternal is a band that should be on your radar. Not only do they have the chops with their songs but, their live show is one hell of a beast on its own. Filth Is Eternal is not only one of my favorite new bands but, they are also super rad people. Do yourself a favor and soak in this Filth!

New Release: Filth Is Eternal- Pressure Me

It’s always exciting when a band you really like/love releases something new. So it’s no shock that I’m pretty damn stoked that my friends in Filth Is Eternal have released a new single, “Pressure Me” from their forthcoming new album Find Out, which comes out September 29 via MNRK. This new song is grungy gut punch that’s infectious and ferocious. Their upcoming album was produced by Paul Fig who has worked with Jerry Cantrell, Alice In Chains, etc but, is also remembered by me most of all as being a member of Amen! Filth Is Eternal is a band that should be on your radar. Not only do they have the chops with their songs but, their live show is one hell of a beast on its own. Do yourself a favor and dig into this Filth!

New Release: Filth Is Eternal- Crawl Space

Filth Is Eternal are one of my favorite bands that I’ve had the pleasure to write about. They are a powerhouse band that is raw and unapologetic through and through. Their new single “Crawl Space” from their upcoming album, Find Out (out 9.29.23 via MNRK HEAVY) is an anthemic track that hits you in all sorts of ways with interesting melodies and pummeling riffs and rhythms all in a matter of a minute and a half. Filth Is Eternal are quite the force of nature. Their immediacy/urgency in their music is impactful right from the start. And live, this band is on a whole other level of ferociousness. Take a moment and dig into what Filth Is Eternal is cooking and soon, you’ll Find Out what else they have in store for you!
