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

Vital Silence (band)

Vinterd

 After listening to their only 3 songs released on the internet, this honestly sounds like one of those bands that some high school girl would possibly have a crush on. Probably not to the degree that’s been seen with fuck face Bieber. . . but I think you get the idea. They’re that good. Melodic rock isn’t really the best type in my eyes but it has its moments and Vital Silence is one of them. They have a nice flow and sound throughout their songs with the vocals that are smoother than oiled marble. The guitars balance on the … Continue reading Vital Silence (band)

Leatherneck – Medusa

Vinterd

 I know the word “Medusa” isn’t on that cover, but trust me. . . that’s the right one. Best one I could find that didn’t look so blocky that it looked like a blind 2-year old with ADHD drew it. Anyway. . . I remember Leatherneck’s previous EP “Dust & Memories” and still listen to it to this day. So when I was messaged on Twitter by whoever manages the band’s account about “Medusa” I was pretty excited. And I was rightfully rewarded for my hopes. Leatherneck hasn’t lost their touch at all it seems. The album contains the same gritty … Continue reading Leatherneck – Medusa

Burn – You Can Do It (Now) EP

Vinterd

 As one of the first bands I ever reviewed, I was more than excited to review another piece of work by them. It was a little nostalgic, I won’t lie, but it was very nice to hear something new from a band I haven’t heard in months. And it was a nice EP to say in the least. As a rock album is has great potential and has a really good sound. The vocals have that special tone to them that I know many rock lovers enjoy on a daily basis and will continue to once they hear this album. … Continue reading Burn – You Can Do It (Now) EP

Victim of Illusion – Oxideyes

Vinterd

 Victim of Illusion is a progressive rock band that does just what you’d expect from a progressive rock band. They have a calm, but upbeat, tone and sound in their new album “Oxideyes” that does the band a lot of justice to those rock lovers who just like that smooth sound to it that can also have an edge to it but still sounding great to their ears. I can see someone just going down the freeway in their car alone tapping the side of their car to the beat of this album. I don’t know about you, but I … Continue reading Victim of Illusion – Oxideyes

We Are the Catalyst – Monuments

Vinterd

 In the email that came with the private link to We Are the Catalyst’s upcoming album “Monuments” also came quotes from respected and know metal magazines and Terry Nails (ex Ozzy Osbourne). These quotes gave me an idea what to expect, obviously, but there was one that made me particularly excited. Terry Nails’ of all the quotes, believe it or not. “Simply stunning, more over than Evanescence”. Well I’ve never really liked Evanescence so I thought this be a big fucking slam dunk for me. And I was right. The unreleased album is really well done in that it is … Continue reading We Are the Catalyst – Monuments

Blowsight – Life & Death

Vinterd

 Before I get things started, let me take a moment and thank my new friends over at Eclipse Records for the unique access to their music for me alone to hear and enjoy for the time being. And I also realize that this album was released more than a year ago, but I’m willing to make an exceptional this time not only as a favor for Eclipse, but also because I liked “Life & Death” quite a lot after listening to it. I’m also placing this review under both the “Metal Reviews” and “Rock Reviews” categories because this is probably … Continue reading Blowsight – Life & Death
