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...

Vastum – Hole Below

17th November 2015 Reinier de Vries

If you hear Bay Area you think of thrash and the eighties. I don’t think there will be many who will mention Vastum. This death metal combo is already releasing its third album and as [Read »]

Phrenetix – Fear
