British two-piece NOISEPICKER release 2nd video and single for the track “Chew” – taken from their upcoming album “The Earth Will Swallow The Sun”
“7/8 groove and a mountain of fat chugs. Splattered with disgust at the human form displayed in the mirrors. ‘Chewed up and spat out’ as the chorus declares. The result of generations of human failure through self interest. ‘So sick and tired of that stupid grin’. The only logical solution: destroy it.”

With more than a quarter of a century of noise making history behind him, singer and guitarist Harry Armstrong returns, alongside drummer Kieran Murphy, as Noisepicker and release their second album on March 21st 2025 via Exile On Mainstream Records.
Also known as the current bass player in Orange Goblin, you may well have caught Armstrong on countless festival line ups, experimenting with sounds in bands such as the hard rock of Blind River, the thrash metal of End Of Level Boss, the piano-led jazz rock of The Earls Of Mars, getting his stoner fix in Hangnail and Firebird (alongside Bill Steer and Ludwig Witt), the instrumental soundscapes of The Winchester Club, the death metal of Decomposed, and that’s just to name a few. Murphy has been earning merits in Cold Comforts and several other bands such as being the drummer for Paige Kennedy.
On a permanent search to constantly try “something else”, Armstrong has taken to writing, recording and mixing this new record himself, just to see if he could. Recorded in a rehearsal room, and mixed in his kitchen, it is an approach to music with a DIY ethic fully embedded in it’s heart.
Do not expect neat, polished, note perfect, carefully constructed opuses in this environment. Noisepicker are loud, abrasive and in constant flux, influenced by their love of all things doom, punk and blues. Come stare aghast at it.
Exile On Mainstream will release The Earth Will Swallow The Sun March 21st, digitally and on audiophile virgin Black Vinyl LP with a bundled CD.
