The Apparition – In Ruins (single)

Vinterd

 As the debut single from The Apparition’s upcoming EP “Glass Eyes”, “In Ruins” is what the band said that they “created this EP to show what we have been working and the direction of the band and for bigger things to come.” That’s as good a reason as any for me! And this new EP is shaping up to be a good one judging from how “In Ruins” is (here’s a secret : it’s pretty fucking good). The single is definitely a combination of death metal and thrash metal with the vocals having a deep tone to them and everything else being fast paced … Continue reading The Apparition – In Ruins (single)

Gentrification – Deviance

Vinterd

 German metal! I know. . . the first band that (usually) comes to your mind is Rammstein. Now while Rammstein are considered the leading band for all German metal groups, that definitely does not mean there are bands that can’t challenge Rammstein for best German metal band. And right here is an excellent candidate for that is no other than Gentrification. Their debut album “Deviance” is an amazing work of death and thrash metal that basically had a kid and that kid was “Deviance”. While this album is over all a hardcore mixture of those two genres, the band thought … Continue reading Gentrification – Deviance

Soulnerve – The Dying Light

Vinterd

 If melodic thrash metal wasn’t a thing before it certainly is now. Best part about how Soulnerve has created this new combo genre is that I thought that the thrash would be good because I love thrash metal, but I’m usually not amazed by melodic metal but when Soulnerve combined the two. . . my brain. . . melted. It sounded so good. I just cannot tell you how fucking good it sounds! I’m just really sad now because you can’t buy it off of iTunes or listen to it on Spotify, and I’m very tempted to buy the CD copy from the band’s … Continue reading Soulnerve – The Dying Light

Varga – Return of the Metal

Vinterd

 I saw “thrash metal” as this album’s genre so of course I went straight for it! I also imagined that Varga would attempt to make their thrash sound like 80s thrash. It was a solid attempt, but they didn’t succeed in really tapping to the core of original thrash. However, they did manage to make some good sounding thrash overall. The vocals had that 80s “charm” to them with dark lyrics that’ll get the people who like the darker side of metal going. The guitars were (of course) fast paced and they had a really good rhythm the whole album … Continue reading Varga – Return of the Metal

Dust Bolt – Awake the Riot

Vinterd

 German-born metal bands always have their moments. Sometimes, these moments are rare and don’t come quick enough for some people. But for others, such as myself, are able to wait for the day when a good German metal band pushes out an album that sounds great. Apparently, the latest of these flew under my radar last week and I physically did a double take when I saw this album. I never heard Dust Bolt’s first album, but I’ve heard good things so. . . fuck it, right? This band is full of energy. And I mean a lot. That’s an essential … Continue reading Dust Bolt – Awake the Riot

Arch Enemy – War Eternal

Vinterd

This is the kind of album that people like me live for. “War Eternal” was just… fucking beautiful. An absolute masterpiece that shall become one of the legends of metal that will be known for generations of head-bangers to come. The entire album is a great representation of all modern day thrash metal mixed with some death metal and with some of the most perfected screaming I metal I’ve ever heard. Just the vocals alone are so fucking amazing that you have to listen to them to know what I’m talking about. The variety and skill that went into the … Continue reading Arch Enemy – War Eternal
