Decimation – Reign of Ungodly Creation

Vinterd

 My ears are bleeding. I don’t mean that in a bad way I mean that in a way that this album is so brutal that it actually felt like it was trying to tenderize me the longer I listened to it. “Reign of Ungodly Creation” is a front to back death metal album that is catered for and only the true hardcore death metal fans who will listen to the most brutal, harsh, and blood thirsty death metal there is out there gladly. Decimation has created an album that has vocals that are deeper than anything I’ve ever heard to … Continue reading Decimation – Reign of Ungodly Creation

Emergency Protocol – Silent Sounds

Vinterd

 “Silent Sounds” is definitely not silent. Quite the opposite in a literal and emotional sense that is really prevalent. This is a post rock album that has lyrics that go down into the true emotional tortures of the soul without discrimination. Each song has an upbeat sound and tone to it because of a great job done by the guitars and drums that both dominate the album front to back. The overall rhythm of “Silent Sounds” is quite good in every single way because it’s catchy, you can listen to it easily, and the flow is solid to where I … Continue reading Emergency Protocol – Silent Sounds

Truth Teller – Tell Me Why (single)

Vinterd

 I’ll say it now, I’m not the biggest fan of emocore. It’s like symphonic metal with me it just never has clicked with my brain. But the brand fucking new band from South Korea, Truth Teller, has taken the (to me) much better route with emocore with their debut song “Tell Me Why” because they (again, to me) have the perfect balance of the type of vocals that are the more harsh and louder that bring in the “emocore” into this mostly post hardcore song. In fact I’m gonna go so far as to say this is probably the perfect … Continue reading Truth Teller – Tell Me Why (single)

Stormcast – Frame of Mind

Vinterd

 Tell you what, when a band can get together, “throw” up a debut album, and make it sound badass, I’m one fucking happy metal-head. Stormcast has just released their debut “Frame of Mind” and it is one of those that makes me happy that my top albums of the year list isn’t set in stone yet because now I have to go back and contemplate if this is worthy enough to knock a few off. But that’s later and you’re not even supposed to know about that so shh. “Frame of Mind” is as if someone took melodic death metal … Continue reading Stormcast – Frame of Mind

Attic – Seasons

Vinterd

 Technical and melodic death metal? . . . take my money. Just take my goddamn money. I really really like it when death metal bands put a little bit more of that “something” into their music because it makes it much more interesting. Like Despite. I love Despite because their melodic death metal is really nice and it has that fluid brutality and rhythm that Attic also share in “Seasons” and that made this album extremely enjoyable for me. Each song started off differently and lead to something different every time and that gave the album a sort of longevity … Continue reading Attic – Seasons

Phobiatic – Fragments of Flagrancy

Vinterd

 Ahhh, technical death metal you say? Well count me in! Goddammit I love it when bands are able to go back to the old school roots of death metal while keeping it fresh and ultra-badass with their special listen spin. And Phobiatic’s spin on their new album “Fragments of Flagrancy” is fucking great! The vocals have an absolutely brutal and raw feel to them that are very evident along with the guitars and drums that are taken to extreme lengths to create an atmosphere of shear brutality that is hard to master in such an old school fashion that you … Continue reading Phobiatic – Fragments of Flagrancy

Shiran – Warm Winter Day

Vinterd

 Hey, look! Another band with a female vocalist! Shiran comes at me with vocals and a djent-like album that had a very melodic feel to it so it has that nice flow and easy sound that many of us enjoy a lot to no end. “Warm Winter Day” has a nice combo with the guitars and drums which both do a very nice job of their own jobs and take that to their maximum potential. Now while this seems like your basic djent metal band, but the female vocals make this a whole lot more interesting all by themselves because … Continue reading Shiran – Warm Winter Day

AC/DC – Rock or Bust

Vinterd

 They’re back and they’ve fucking done it again! AC/DC’s latest and possibly greatest album “Rock or Bust” came out earlier this week and it has been astounding fans who love their original work and love it even more to see that this album kind of hearkens back to the early days of this revolutionary revered band that we all know and love. This album packs AC/DC’s renowned explosive punch in their music comes at us once again with the signature vocals along with the rhythmic badassery that only AC/DC has utterly mastered beyond reason to the point where their music … Continue reading AC/DC – Rock or Bust

Insaniter – Half Faces EP

Vinterd

 This new EP from Insaniter is thrash metal that is beyond acceptable. “Half Faces” brings electrifying guitars (as all thrash metal aims to do) that give this EP a very organic feel to it because of how fast they are while still being able to keep the rhythm and pace sounding amazing along with the vocals and drums that are just great. And I know what you’re thinking – well this just sounds like some ordinary thrash metal band, so why in the actual fuck would you want to hear it when you can just fire up some Metallica if … Continue reading Insaniter – Half Faces EP

In Torment – Sphere of Metaphysical Incarnations

Vinterd

 Death metal? Check. Country I don’t normal hear bands from (Brazil today)? Check. Brazilian death metal? . . . come again? It’s not very often that you find death metal bands that get out into the world from places like Brazil, but in this case In Torment managed to find its way to my email inbox and then later impress me. The fact that this is the band’s third full length album it makes me wonder why I haven’t heard of them before since they definitely seem to have a very firm grasp and understanding of what it means to … Continue reading In Torment – Sphere of Metaphysical Incarnations
