BLARE is an independent music blog dedicated to bringing you the best in loud, heavy music.
Founded and launched in 2012 as Inhale the Heavy, we quickly became a trusted source in all things relating to heavy metal by offering streams, videos, features, reviews, interviews, news and exclusive song/video premieres.
Rebranded as BLARE in August 2024, we will continue to bring you all of the best in loud and heavy music.
