Diemonds – Never Wanna Die

Vinterd

 There has never been a single objection from my mouth when it comes to making hard rock heavier, and I’m sure as hell not gonna stop now that I’ve heard Diemonds’ upcoming third album “Never Wanna Die”. This whole album has a very catchy sound to it that is absolutely littered with all sorts of hooks that have a great feel to them with the female vocals that I did not see coming at all. I love them, though, because they work so goddamn well with the guitars that were very rhythmic and heavy as I’m sure you might’ve guessed … Continue reading Diemonds – Never Wanna Die

Disturbed – Immortalized

Vinterd

 I have been a fan of Disturbed for years, heard of all their albums, loved some, disliked one, and waited for this one. And now that “Immortalized” is now out in full I can happily say that this is without a doubt Disturbed’s most mature album to date. It is also the album that has the best guitars of any of their albums; that’s what really stood out to me. They had the same sound and feel as Disturbed, but the pacing and texture of them were fresh to my ears and while David Draiman’s voice still remains the same it has … Continue reading Disturbed – Immortalized

Black Cat Bones – False Promises & Wasted Time

Vinterd

 If there was ever a single band to prove that hard rock is still alive and well, it’s Black Cat Bones whose debut album, “False Promises & Wasted Time”, shows that the hard rock scene of the world still has plenty of talent that isn’t ready to stop playing just yet. Black Cat Bones’ album has a real classic hard rock feel and pace to it that persists through all five tracks that are done very, very well as it is just the thing you’d expect to hear from a band wanting to have their music heard. And goddamn it have … Continue reading Black Cat Bones – False Promises & Wasted Time

POSTE942 – Extended Play

Vinterd

 This brilliant 5-track album of southern metal from POSTE942 is something that is very edgy for hard rock and has a lick of metal in there to shake things up a bit, and it works fabulously. “Extended Play” busts in with a grunge sound to the guitars that are greatly backed up with the melody of  the vocalist whose voice is absolutely perfect for this southern style of hard rock where each riff is gritty as fucking sandpaper. The cover art alone shows the grit that is jam packed into these songs to the absolute brim which gives the album the feel … Continue reading POSTE942 – Extended Play

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

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

Scion A/V Presents – Red Fang

Vinterd

 This 2-track EP is probably one of the best hard rock albums I’ve heard since Kyng’s “Burn the Serum” (fabulous). While, as you might’ve noticed, this isn’t put out by Red Fang themselves but it is made by them. And this EP is good by every single standard for “good” there is out there for every single hard rock album ever. The vocals were the smoothest thing I’ve heard for a while and they are very melodic which sounded amazing in every way along with the guitars and drums that had great sound in both tracks and made both of … Continue reading Scion A/V Presents – Red Fang

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

Echo The Aftermath (self-titled)

Vinterd

 While having the edgy sound that some of the musically-soft people would call metal, Echo The Aftermath does not fill the criteria for me to call them a full on metal band so I’m gonna go with hard rock, and hard rock is good nine times out of ten so there’s nothing wrong with this self-titled debut at all. The guitars are definitely those of hard rock because they have that feel of “heaviness” (put that in quotes ’cause some people would get mad if I called these guitars heavy) to them that has a really nice feel to them … Continue reading Echo The Aftermath (self-titled)

Thirteen (band)

Vinterd

 Thirteen doesn’t have any full albums out yet from what I could find which makes me a little sad because the two songs from them that I could find, “Romeo Kiss” and “Time”, are both quite good hard rock songs. While personally I wouldn’t buy these songs, I have to say that they get the job done pretty well. Both have sounds to them that have a catchy sound to it that I feel many people can enjoy listening to. The one song, “Romeo Kiss”, also comes with a heavy version which I find to be much, much more appealing than … Continue reading Thirteen (band)
