05.04.2008 ~ Free counselling
This month the White Heat staff is on a mission of giving bands insight into their own creative world. Two peculiar bands, the English Volcano The Bear and the Norwegian Shining get the free april-treatment. No thanks, guys! The Deathtrip's attack was hold behind bars and examinated. As these are as dangerous as fantastic tunes, the stay was on the house.

Another review from our Family of dog session!


01.03.2008 ~ Family of dog
Altough we belong to the family of dog, we use the word God quite often in our articles and reviews. We wonder where that comes from? We let you know when we post our next update. For now you should do with an article about Londoners Part Chimp and a variety of reviews: Fear Falls Burning / Nadja, Vandal X, Mariska Baars / Wouter van Veldhoven / Rudger Zuydervelt, Primordial, Maurizio Bianchi / Hue / Fhievel and Brethren Of The Free Spirit.


26.01.2008 ~ White Heat revisits
Within the scope of the rerelease of Burning Witch's Crippled Lucifer - a gathering of the Towers... and Rift.Canyon.Dreams eps, completed with some hard to find songs - we revisit a 2001 Noise Magazine-interview. We also give our opinion about the latest Ignatz, Kemialliset Ystävät and No Doctors albums.

White Heat's headhunt for new writers

White Heat is an international non-profit music magazine that's wheeling and dealing with the largest variation of styles. We operate somewhere between black metal and free jazz, between minimalism and psychedelics. We've done articles about Supersilent, Greg Malcolm, Dälek, Oren Marshall, Om, Unearthly Trance and Albert Ayler among others, and plan others with Shining (No), Volcano The Bear, Ignatz, Part Chimp, High On Fire and Matt Elliott.

We're overloaded with promotional material lately, which makes for houses hard to live in, angry girlfriends and wifes, and sweaty smelly shirts. We make plans for more articles and reviews in the near future, which isn't able in the current constellation. White Heat today is a Belgian duo, which will continue their search with or without you. We're interested in writers who want a long-term perspective, but also in guest contributors that want to give us an article about one topic.

White Heat is …

…gravel to a tennis-player, offering some grip, but giving enough slippery to take a musical nose-dive.

'Paintings and flaming rows should be looked upon from a distance', an English phrase says. Drivel, we stand on two inches, ready to get our mouth devastated. Snap, and the artist's gums and cheek will be lacerated, festered and swollen. It eases appeasing our appetite for his/her inside.

We nourish ourselves with elongated sounds, musty aggressiveness and minimal flamboyance. In this hazardous potpourri, we try to dash behind the scenes of the artist's mind, ask him/her questions you never wanted to ask and mangle genres that you never wanted to mangle.

We want your blood

To awaken our interest, we would like to ask you to:
- give personal information: age, experience in journalism, musical taste (influences, possible specialism);
- write at least two reviews and / or an interview (or send some from the recent past);
- propose bands or albums that you would like to interview / review in the weeks or months to come;
- give your view on White Heat's evolution (only if you want to contribute in the long term).

Wherever we are

15.10.2007 ~ Swinging back and forth - new stuff
We’re the weight attached to Oren Ambarchi’s string and continually swing back and forth, and go into the tropical and desert regions to get two venomous bites of sludge and doom (Black Cobra and Unearthly Trance). Filthy animals! We continue our Swedish dinner in the reviews section.


02.09.2007 ~ Swedish feast
Since winter became spring and summer became fall, we think we have the right to call Belgium (Pawlowski and Trouvé) and Scotland (Ward) Scandinavian countries (Tyrant, Life On Earth and Dungen).


08.08.2007 ~ White Heat still alive!
We’re back among the living, ready to serve you reviewed new albums of Harris Newman, Mauro Pawlowski, Jozef Van Wissem, Shellac, Forgotten Woods and Stars Of The Lid. With Jozef Van Wissem we measured the space between the notes!


18.03.2007 ~ Brand new reviews
Check out the Black To Comm, Greg Malcolm and Drifting Collision reviews. Great albums!!
