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...

19th March 2016 Reinier de Vries

Anger As Art – Ad Mortem Festinamus

9th March 2016 Reinier de Vries

The first 2 albums of this band are in my collection, but somehow I never found their thrash excellent or outragious. I think that’s why I don’t own their other 2 records. On the first [Read »]
