Brotherhood – Till Death. . .

Vinterd

 Whoever says southern metal, grunge metal, or anything of the sort isn’t could can go shut the hell up now. This reissue of Brotherhood’s “Till Death. . .” is the greatest of that kind of music because it really does sound like a band of rebels that made a band and started playing in the damn garage. The whole album has a real grungy sound to it much like how Leatherneck does with their music by giving it a real edgy and even sandpapery (that’s a word now) feel to it that persists through the entire album and that’s what … Continue reading Brotherhood – Till Death. . .

Thousand Foot Krutch – Oxygen:Inhale

Vinterd

 The new album by Thousand Foot Krutch “Oxygen:Inhale” is a really nice and smooth hard rock album that utilizes several aspects of hard rock to their advantage. One of them is the vocals. The vocals have that usual smooth but edgy sound to them that many people including myself have fallen in love with around the world just because it’s used so often because it sounds so good. Also with them being very rhythmic and sounding great along the guitars that do awesome in the more intense songs and the softer ones like “Set Me On Fire”. As I said … Continue reading Thousand Foot Krutch – Oxygen:Inhale

Devilstrip – Rise

Vinterd

 Devilstrip’s upcoming hard rock album “Rise” really hearkens to original hard rock in that it really doesn’t hover between rock, hard rock, and some form of metal. It just stays hard rock, and good sounding hard rock to boot. Everything was all nice and smooth but it always had that razor sharp edge that all hard rock fans have loved since its creation. “Rise” is very well rounded with good vocals, solid guitars, and drums that just have an excellent pace especially for their genre and that makes the songs sound all the more better. Fortunately, you can all understand what … Continue reading Devilstrip – Rise

1 In Five – Hold On EP

Vinterd

 Tell you what. . . I really like some nice flowing rock music with good tunes and a nice beat. 1 In Five had all of that. Personally I thought the opening track “Something In The Water” was the best and it really set the tone for the rest of “Hold On”. The entire EP had a nice flow to it and sounded really nice. Each band member did a real good job and  staying as rock as possible and that made each song sound like a true rock song which I haven’t seen for a little while so it’s … Continue reading 1 In Five – Hold On EP

Lost In A Name – A Silence In Static

Vinterd

 Sometimes less really is more. When I read in an email that Lost In A Name was a 2-man group you can only imagine how much that made my head turn. I’ve done a review for a one man band so this wasn’t as odd sounding as that but it still sounded odd nonetheless. “A Silence In Static” doesn’t hit the shelves until September but I was allowed to listen to the album thanks to the band’s manager with whom I’ve worked with before. And the sophomore album for Lost In A Name is not a push over either for … Continue reading Lost In A Name – A Silence In Static

Godsmack – 1000hp

Vinterd

 I’ve personally never really listened to Godsmack except for their songs “Greed” and “Voodoo”. Sue me. I’ve heard mixed comments about “1000hp” but since I’ve never had any special love or hatred for Godsmack so I practically began listening to this without really expecting anything except some hard rock. And that’s what I got. In my opinion it was amazing but it wasn’t God awful terrible either. The album compared to what little I’ve wasn’t as hard rock but it still falls under the same category. The vocals were more or less the same in my opinion though. “1000hp” seemed … Continue reading Godsmack – 1000hp
