Forcefed Horsehead – Hunting Witches

Vinterd

 In terms of raw brutality, Forcefed Horsehead have stepped down when it comes to their cover art design, but their music has increased compared to their last album, “Deux”. It has to me, anyway, but I digress. “Hunting Witches” while being mainly death metal also has a tinge of punk thrown into the mix and you can see this a lot with the lengths of all the tracks with the longest only being a minute and 13 seconds. Each song is an absolute punch to the face one after another and it never stops for one goddamn second. The brutal … Continue reading Forcefed Horsehead – Hunting Witches

Vasomortus – Instrument Torture of Pyramid

Vinterd

 Brutal death metal is something that not a lot of bands can make sound good and make it something that it can be heard by just normal metal fans like myself. Vasomortus’ debut album “Instrument Torture of Pyramid” is a brutal (obviously) album that really cranks up the death metal as their genre is wont to do, but they refine their’s in a way that while I still couldn’t understand shit of what was being said, I still found the brutality of it to be amazing and wondrous at once. Down to the cover art this album is a deadly … Continue reading Vasomortus – Instrument Torture of Pyramid

Feared – My Grief, My Sorrow (single)

Vinterd

I still remember the first time I heard Feared’s fourth album, “Vinter”, almost a year ago and feeling the awesomeness that Feared is and the talent that they have, and I thought they couldn’t get any better. Well, now they’re back with their fifth full length album and it shows me that I haven’t been more wrong about anything else in my life. Their new single “My Grief, My Sorrow” that they just released today is as great as their previous releases and demonstrates that Feared have not lost their touch one bit. This song is heavy, it deals with … Continue reading Feared – My Grief, My Sorrow (single)

Hammer King – Kingdom of the Hammer King

Vinterd

 When it comes down to some kick ass power metal the first bands that I think of are Sabaton, Manowar, and Blind Guardian. Well Hammer King’s upcoming “Kingdom of the Hammer King” has everything it needs to be put among those giants: powerful feel, great rhythm and melody, and a fantasy theme that only power metal can do right (other than folk and viking metal, of course). Straight from the beginning, “Kingdom of the Hammer King” shows that they mean business and won’t leave until you release that their presence is that of power and they won’t leave until they’ve … Continue reading Hammer King – Kingdom of the Hammer King

Witch of the Waste – Made of Teeth

Vinterd

 When a band this unknown puts out an album as hardcore and insane as this it only shows that Witch of the Waste has the talent of veterans when it comes down to making an amazing album. “Made of Teeth” is what it sounds like – an absolutely raw album that is filled with brutality that is relentless in each and every song. From the very beginning of this EP it is clear that Witch of the Waste have come to make a point and that point is thaty’re a force to be reckoned with and has come to kick … Continue reading Witch of the Waste – Made of Teeth

Minsk – The Crash and the Draw

Vinterd

 Typically when a popular band comes back from an lengthy hiatus there is much anticipation about the album that they’ll put out whenever they return. For lack of a better example, the best example of this in recent years is Slipknot’s “.5: The Gray Chapter”. If post/progressive metal band Minsk hasn’t made a masterpiece yet than they have with their upcoming “The Crash and the Draw” because this album is everything you could ever want and more. Right from the very beginning it has a great feel to it that’s very much like doom metal but it’s different in a … Continue reading Minsk – The Crash and the Draw

Monolord – We Will Burn (single)

Vinterd

 That cover art doesn’t exactly scream but doom metal, but “We Will Burn” from Monolord’s upcoming sophomore album “Vænir” shows that there is much more underneath that the cover art doesn’t portray. This single is a great track in every single way from the beginning and shows that not only will “Vænir” be a proper doom metal album, it will also be an impressive album overall if it’s going to be anything like “We Will Burn”. The track is over 7 minutes long so it’s got that real doom metal feel to it along with the vocals that really hook you in … Continue reading Monolord – We Will Burn (single)

Dark Void – Release the Kraken

Vinterd

 Never thought I’d hear such an admirable debut EP from a band who’s average age is only 17. Oh well! First time for everything and I’m very glad that Dark Void’s upcoming “Release the Kraken” was that first! This album begins with a very well done acoustic guitar that leads into the thrash that this album portrays extremely well. The blistering speed of the guitars are the obvious results of musicians with great talent listening to bands like Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer for many years and then deciding to make a legend of their own, and their path to glory … Continue reading Dark Void – Release the Kraken

Krueger – Return to Death

Vinterd

 When people talk about a band of today that does old school death metal does it right I want their first goddamn thought to be Krueger’s upcoming “Return to Death” because this album has the whole fucking nine yards when it comes down to old school death done fantastically. This album has all the works down to the cover art with the vocals ripping through your ears after the guitars and drums tenderize your headset and then your brain itself. Just the raw, brutal feel of this album is something that a lot of bands have, yes, but forming it … Continue reading Krueger – Return to Death

Fortid – 9

Vinterd

 If someone told be that pagan black metal could ever be made more badass or epic than what it normally is I’d call fucking bullshit. But, as if to prove me wrong, Fortid’s upcoming new album of that same exact genre, “9”, has taken the genre to whole ‘nother level for me. This album has a great feel from it from the transcending vocals that have a wide range of intensity to the length of songs with one reaching over 10 minutes to the badass riffs contained all throughout “9” that just deserve a round of goddamn applause each time. … Continue reading Fortid – 9
