about

We Do Not Belong Here’s debut EP, Strange to Cope in Today’s World, recorded with James Whitten of Hightower Recording in New Orleans, is a chaotic journey. At the EP’s most mournful, Heck’s pained delivery and confessional lyrics play against the haunting melodies of Bennett’s guitar while Martinez’s propulsive drumming drives the band forward. These moments are a counterpoint to the EP’s most aggressive moments, when all three members lock in on powerful rhythms and vocal deliveries. Strange to Cope in Today’s World is a lamentation of living in a region on the brink of fascism and environmental ruin.

"Strange to Cope in Today's World by We Do Not Belong Here is one of the most promising fusion albums between metal and hardcore." 10/10
- Dargedik.com (Peru)

"The band weaves a web of opposites, creating a soundscape that is as fascinating as it is contradictory." 8/10
- amplified-mag.de (Germany)

"A hidden gem to come back to time and time again, this something special." 8.5/10
- metalnoise.net

"It’s black metal until it wants to be hardcore until it decides to go full screamo, usually all within the same song. Strange To Cope In Today’s World is not meant to be sonically pinned down, which will likely lead to a variety of responses that may betray how wonderfully offbeat this first release from We Do Not Belong Here is." 3.5/5
- heavymusichq.com

"Make no mistake about it, We Do Not Belong Here have taken a massive risk with this EP. Strange to Cope in Today’s World is complex, often tough to listen to at times. However, at no stage does it ever lose its innate sense of intrigue, you never lose the desire to hear what else the track/EP has to offer and this is the biggest compliment that can be provided." 7/10

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
