About Reinier de Vries

Once a metal head, always a metalhead. My parents thought it would only be a period, but they were wrong. I quit to explain the beauty of metal music to others that are not into metal, because it is something you can't tell in words... It is like explaining to a teetotaller why a cold beer is so nice on a hot day... I started with bands like Accept, Metal Church, Iron Maiden and Metallica in the eighties and I think I will still listen to them when I'm stone deaf and old...

Infernäl Mäjesty – No God

13th April 2017 Reinier de Vries

Comaniac – Instruction For Destruction

8th April 2017 Reinier de Vries

First of all, this is my first meeting with this Swiss thrash band. Therefore, I missed their debut album Return to the Wasteland. The first heavy tunes immediately gave me an old school feeling, and that [Read »]

Harlott – Extinction

These are some fine months for old school thrash fans, or should I say for the new wave of thrash fans. After Havok and Warbringer, it is time for Australia’s Harlott’s new album. These guys [Read »]

Warbringer – Woe To The Vanquished

1st April 2017 Reinier de Vries

A few years ago, there were quite a few bands you could file under the NWOT wave. Warbringer was one of them, and they are one of the survivors. Their 2008 debut album, War Without End, was [Read »]

Stormhammer – Welcome To the End

26th March 2017 Reinier de Vries

Obituary – Obituary

17th March 2017 Reinier de Vries

Cellador – Off the Grid

11th March 2017 Reinier de Vries

Off the Grid is Cellador’s 2nd full length album. In 2011 the band released an EP, but now finally there is a new release. Like on their 2006 debut Enter Deception, their style is still fast thundering melodic [Read »]

Havok – Conformicide

8th March 2017 Reinier de Vries

Yeah, the new Havok album! In my opinion, Havok, together with Warbringer, Harlott, and Suicidal Angels is one of the new thrash bands that can compete with the old school eighties bands like Testament, Slayer, [Read »]
