Review
Northern Irish Doom/Sludge/Stoner Metal destroyers MOLARBEAR return with their latest single WAR PORN which is their first new material since their last release Cognitive Dissident that was released back in March 2026. The song continues the band’s vicious blend of Noise Rock that’s wrapped around an aggressive style of Doom, Sludge and Stoner Metal.
MOLARBEAR are perhaps consumed on the Noise Rock and Sludge Metal dynamics of their music for this track which comments upon the bad things that Social and Modern media brings to the world. This is quite a cautionary song with something real to say as the band add a jagged Psychedelic sound into the mix with the music feeling inspired by the likes of MELVINS, WHORES, NIN and FAITH NO MORE along the way.
The music is quite violent in places but MOLARBEAR do add levels of warped melody into their music which sees the band add some classic Eighties Heavy Metal guitar shredding when you least expect this. WAR PORN feels quite short at four minutes in length where I feel an extra couple of minutes could have fleshed out the overall message that MOLARBEAR are trying to convey here.
However, this is a relentless song that has a lot of violent energy that’s brilliantly ferocious with harsh commentary that does indeed make you take notice of what the band are saying here.
Excellent and Highly Recommended.
