Betrayal – Black Magic Whore

Vinterd

 I’ll say this once and once only: do not let that cover or album title dismay you or make you think this album isn’t to your taste. If your taste is straight heavy metal that doesn’t fall under any sort of subgenre other than just “metal”, then Betrayal are here with just the album for you! This British band have created an album that if someone told me was made in the early days of metal, I would’ve totally believed them because that’s the era this has the sound of. The vocals off of “Black Magic Whore” have got a real smooth … Continue reading Betrayal – Black Magic Whore

Ashes In Vein (self-titled)

Vinterd

 I completely agree with this EP. Now, I will say that I don’t love it with every fiber of my being, but I did really enjoy listening to Ashes In Vein’s upcoming self-titled melodic metal album simply because of its awesomely rough sound and its gritty sandpaper-like feel to it that it has in each of the 4 tracks.

The album also has a power metal-like sound to it but I personally don’t think that it’s present enough for me to classify this as power metal so I’ll just draw the line and heavy … Continue reading Visigoth – The Revenant King

Monolith – Against the Wall of Forever

Vinterd

 I agree with this album and everything it stands for. Straight from the very beginning I could tell this album was gonna be something else that was going to range from heavy to a degree that someone who likes metal can love and someone who likes rock can love because “Against the Wall of Forever” crosses both genres and does an amazingly excellent job at performing both with expert skill. The pure sound alone of Monolith in this album is fantastic in every way with how fucking catchy it is and the heaviness that’s implied into it makes it sound … Continue reading Monolith – Against the Wall of Forever
