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)

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. . .

Wild Rose – Hit ‘N’ Run

Vinterd

 I’ve never imagined what a mixture of Bon Jovi and Journey would sound like, but now I don’t have to because Wild Rose has done that with their upcoming third album “Hit ‘N’ Run”. Now keep in mind that while I’m not real big into this type of rock I do not mind it in the least. I’m one of those people that can easily listen to “Bad Medicine” and “Don’t Stop Believing” in a heart beat, but not very often. “Hit ‘N’ Run” incorporated many elements that (for lack of better examples) Bon Jovi and Journey used to become … Continue reading Wild Rose – Hit ‘N’ Run

Hangmore – Freak In Me (single)

Vinterd

 Okay, I lied. Technically this isn’t a “single” since it contains more than one song, but it’s not an EP or LP. So let’s just call this a single for lack of a better word. Anyway, the two songs from this. “Freak In Me” and “We Rise”, are actually quite good. I personally prefer “Freak In Me” myself but that’s just because I like the chorus better than the one from “We Rise”. The vocals from each have a really good sound to them along with the guitars that are somewhat heavy, but the vocalist really balances them out by … Continue reading Hangmore – Freak In Me (single)

Oecist – XVIII LII EP

Vinterd

 Hardly ever do 100% instrumental albums come across my radar. And even more rarely do I review them (that’s only ever happened once) because they don’t sound interesting to me. But Oecist’s debut album “XVIII LII” (that’s 18 and 52  respectively if you don’t know your Roman numerals) was different. Each of the tracks off of this 5-track EP has a constant tone that’s very atmospheric which makes it sound really nice. Oecist combines many aspects of instrumentalists everywhere into their own music which makes it a very diverse and unique sound even though you can possibly notice the aspects … Continue reading Oecist – XVIII LII EP

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

Get Stoked – Washington Street

Vinterd

 This album was classified as “pop rock” but. . . eh. . . sounds like normal rock n roll if you ask me, but I’m not the one who came up with the genre names so whatever. “Washington Street” is an album that all the casual rock lovers will like I’ve no doubt and it’s a nice switch for someone like me who listens to metalcore, death metal, nu metal, and thrash metal on an almost 24/7 basis. The album is a smooth piece of work that has a really nice sound to it that can be listened to in … Continue reading Get Stoked – Washington Street

Diet – Palindrome

Vinterd

 “Palindrome” was an overall smooth album that was certainly alternative and certainly grunge at times. Diet manages to have a good mix of guitars, vocals, and drums that can pull off a nice flowing song that if I were to play it it would be on a calm drive or when I just wanna kick back and relax with some soft music. The vocals were smooth and had a calming sound to them that I’m sure most anyone could listen to any day unless they’re not into this sort of music. The guitars have good rhythm and pace throughout the … Continue reading Diet – Palindrome
