Song Review: noir. - "MOURN"

Formed in 2024, noir is a hardcore act hailing from Southern California that just released their 2nd single, MOURN, on May 5th, 2025. The track wastes no time at all, catapulting the listener into blistering screams, explosive down-tuned guitar riffs, and booming drum grooves.

Merging hardcore and metalcore, noir. creates a brutally aggressive sound through wildly intense breakdowns, crushing instrumentals, and raw screams. After an onslaught of heavy vocals, the track introduces distant, dark singing before bursting right back into the in-your-face extreme metal destruction you come to expect from noir. In a particularly nasty breakdown outro, MOURN ends with energy at a high, leaving you wanting even more.

Overall, MOURN is a wildly impressive showcase of extreme metal that delivers a sound that verges between old-school metalcore and hardcore–brutally aggressive, relentless, and fierce. You can stream noir's latest single MOURN out on all platforms now.
