Grave Digger – Healed By Metal

January 1, 2017March 14, 2017 Vinterd

 With the legendary band of Manowar throwing in the towel very soon, who will be left to carry the torch that is the original heavy metal experience? I don’t mean as original as Black Sabbath, I mean like that somewhat … Continue reading Grave Digger – Healed By Metal

Monte Pittman – Inverted Grasp of Balance

September 3, 2016March 14, 2017 Vinterd

 It’s something about the simpler things that always have me come crawling back no matter how hard I try to find something more intricate or detailed. Yet . . . here I am, bathing in riffs and not feeling a … Continue reading Monte Pittman – Inverted Grasp of Balance

Sumerlands – s/t

September 2, 2016March 14, 2017 Vinterd

 There has never, nor will there ever be, a problem with going back to the basics, square one, or whatever you wanna call the beginning. Respecting how something great started is always good if you ask me, and that goes … Continue reading Sumerlands – s/t

Necromancing the Stone – Jewel of the Vile

July 25, 2016March 14, 2017 Vinterd

 When I see such art with incredible craftsmanship mixed with boobies and a menacing figure, the first thing that comes to mind isn’t exactly “this would work great for a heavy metal album’s cover art!”, yet it is so in … Continue reading Necromancing the Stone – Jewel of the Vile

Highrider – Armageddon Rock

June 28, 2016March 14, 2017 Vinterd

 A lot of the time I listen to heavy metal bands that are more gimmicky than anything like Manowar. Bands that are straight from the 80s, you know, with skin tight leather, riding motorcycles, and drinking beer because that’s the … Continue reading Highrider – Armageddon Rock

Denner/Shermann – Masters of Evil

June 11, 2016March 14, 2017 Vinterd

 The quality of heavy metal in its original form has become dangerously low in recent years, and with bands as prolific as Manowar leaving the stage who will carry the torch? Well here is a group whom I believe can … Continue reading Denner/Shermann – Masters of Evil

Silvebones – Wild Waves

May 9, 2016May 9, 2016 Vinterd

 When I see a cover like that I always get a little excited because I love so many thing about music with a sea theme to it. So upon looking at the art for Silverbones’ upcoming album, “Wild Waves”, I … Continue reading Silvebones – Wild Waves

Eclipse – Clandestine Resurrection

April 14, 2016March 14, 2017 Vinterd

 The original form of heavy metal has always had a real charm to it that those of us who have been lucky enough to hear it know that is has a great energy about it. So seeing that impressive cover … Continue reading Eclipse – Clandestine Resurrection

Corners of Sanctuary – Metal Machine

March 27, 2016March 14, 2017 Vinterd

 The original, primal form of metal music, heavy metal, is quite possibly everyone’s first slide into the metal genre and eventually helped us become the metal heads we are today. So for me it’s always a good idea to go … Continue reading Corners of Sanctuary – Metal Machine

Gottweist – Future is In Our Hands

March 1, 2016March 14, 2017 Vinterd

 When it comes down to straight heavy metal, there’s not many bands that fall into that category but I have massive respect for all of them. They embody the original form of metal that led to the shit we love today, and … Continue reading Gottweist – Future is In Our Hands
