Inhale the Heavy is a trusted, independent heavy metal blog founded in 2012. We exist to get loud music into more ears: new releases, album reviews, video premieres, interviews, and the bands still grinding it out on Bandcamp at 2 a.m.
We cover doom, sludge, noise, thrash, experimental, black, stoner, psych, progressive, grindcore, and whatever else hits hard enough to earn the name. Dungeon synth too, because it’s great!
Sometimes fast.
Sometimes slow.
Always loud!
If it riffs, drones, blasts, or crawls, we want to hear it. If you’re a band, send it. If you’re a listener, stay a while, subscribe to Metal Up Your Inbox™, and tell people this is your favorite metal blog. We’re really okay with that!
We drink a lot of coffee! If you enjoy what we are doing with Inhale the Heavy, please consider helping us get our caffeine on.
Thanks! \m/
