Every Hour Kills (self-titled)

Vinterd

 I never thought was a melodic metal album would sound like if a band were to infuse just the slightest bit of electronics into the mix, and then I heard Every Hour Kills’ self-titled debut. Okay, that’s a lie. I heard their first single off the album, “Almost Human”, months ago and it had a little electronics in there, but they were very brief while used very well. And much to my happiness, the same thing is incorporated in the other 4 tracks off of “Every Hour Kills”. Each song has an uplifting kind of feel to them that while … Continue reading Every Hour Kills (self-titled)

Carnivora – The Vision

Vinterd

 In my time of exploring melodic death metal and it’s various bands, I’ve not found a whole lot of bands of the genre that are based here in the USA and sound good while they’re at it. It’s just one of those genres that’s more centered in places like Sweden and other European countries. But Carnivora is without a doubt the first American melodic death band that I can honestly say do a realy good job at what they do. They’re new album, “The Vision”, isn’t the perfect melodic death album that I’ve heard before but it is more than … Continue reading Carnivora – The Vision

Thunder and Lightning – Slice of Life

Vinterd

 I’ve never heard power metal as heavy as Thunder and Lightning’s new EP “Slice of Life”, but I’m glad I finally have because this is an excellent power metal EP for any fan of heavy metal in general with a good bit of melody in it. “Slice of Life” has an amazingly smooth, but heavy, feel to it in all 5 tracks, two of which are redone from previous albums. They sound fantastic so I imagine that they were awesome to begin with but now they’re even more awesome, so that’s a plus. The vocals is where that smooth factor … Continue reading Thunder and Lightning – Slice of Life

Suffering – Chaosatanas

Vinterd

 Judging by the cover alone, I think we can all agree that this is a step above your average run-of-the-mill black metal. Suffering’s “Chaosatanas” delves into the area if satanic black metal, but it’s not the most hardcore of the kind, and if you know what I’m talking about then you know that this album is not as “bad” as it could be. But “Chaosatanas” is an intense piece of work that leaves no one alive with its brutal intensity that never ceases for one moment in all of the songs. Everything from the vocals to the sound itself to … Continue reading Suffering – Chaosatanas

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

The Passion of Our Souls – Soulmates

Vinterd

 The thought of melodic death metal and pop metal being fused into on has honestly never come across my mind until I saw this album. The Passion of Our Souls has created an album with a female vocalist that has a very raw set of vocals in between choruses, but during the chorus is where the pop metal comes in with the guitars still staying relatively the same but the vocals start singing instead of the sound that I can only call “the death metal voice”. We should all have a rough idea of what that sounds like. While I … Continue reading The Passion of Our Souls – Soulmates

Steve Saluto – The Silver Skull Legend

Vinterd

 I’ve honestly no idea who Steve Saluto is, but apparently he’s a big deal even though I’ve never ever heard of him before today. But you know what? I wish I had of heard of him before today because his latest solo EP “The Silver Skull Legend” is an excellent rock album in every aspect to its flow to the riffs to the versatility of Saluto’s playing of every instrument. The vocals had a very smooth and melodic feel to them that are just the sort that I know just about anyone can listen to any time of the day … Continue reading Steve Saluto – The Silver Skull Legend

The Bowery – Adapt

Vinterd

 This is most likely my favorite technical metal album (EP in this instance) for the year so far purely because of how awesome of a sound The Bowery has created for their upcoming EP “Adapt”. The vocals in this were pretty hardcore for what I’ve recently heard and they sound fantastic with the melody that I feel like many people can find very enjoyable especially for those people who like their melody but not in copious amounts, hopefully you know what I’m saying. The guitars had this heavy, destructive, and has a monstrous beat to it along with the drums … Continue reading The Bowery – Adapt

Triumvir Foul – An Oath Of Blood And Fire

Vinterd

 This cover practically screams the genre: death metal. Old school death metal to be precise. Triumvir Foul’s new upcoming EP “An Oath of Blood and Fire” is a nostalgic trip for any aged hardcore metal fan lover of all genres because this album teleports us back to the 90’s where death metal truly felt like you were grinding up corpses with a meat grinder. I love it. Everything just blew my fucking mind with this EP to every extent, especially when I found out this was a two man band. I swear. A two goddamn man band! I was – am! … Continue reading Triumvir Foul – An Oath Of Blood And Fire

Silent Divide – Master of Disguise

Vinterd

 It’s honestly rare for me to come across a debut of any sorts, listen to it, and then give it two thumbs up. But Silent’s Divide’s hard rock/alternative metal debut EP “Master of Disguise” has managed to do that! This band is also fronted by a woman who has an amazing voice and just uses it to their advantage by creating a smooth rhythm and awesome soothing sound that go surprisingly great with the guitars that are very melodic and catchy. And if that doesn’t do it for you then the bass has a killer beat to it that creates … Continue reading Silent Divide – Master of Disguise
