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...

Atomwinter – Iron Flesh

14th October 2015 Reinier de Vries

Already being in an old school death metal moode with just listening to the new Grave album, this isn’t a giant step to take. This German combo knows all the answers. I like it when [Read »]

Elegacy is a prog-power metal band/project formed by Constantin Terzago (keyboards) and Massimo La Russa (guitars). After their first album ‘Impressions’ in 2005, things were put on a hold, but they continued writing new songs. In 2011, new [Read »]

Intrinsic – Nails

7th October 2015 Reinier de Vries

Although the album is already out for a while, I found it interesting enough to still review it for our site. The band already released an LP called ‘Intrinsic’ in 1987 and an EP in [Read »]

Dragonheart – The Battle Sanctuary

2nd October 2015 Reinier de Vries

Holy F***, I didn’t see this one coming. In general, I’m rather sensible in picking new releases because I want to enjoy what I review. I expected some good power metal with rather cliché lyrics about wars [Read »]

Death Dealer – Hallowed Ground

2nd October 2015 Reinier de Vries

Original, progressive, new paths taken etc. etc. are words and expressions that don’t describe this album. If you are looking for something like that, you can stop reading and wasting your time. But if you like good, [Read »]

Malevolent Creation – Dead Man’s Path

2nd October 2015 Reinier de Vries

Florida has always been a good soil for death metal bands, not only Obituary but also Malevolent Creation are settled there. If counted correctly, this is their 12th album. Since their debut “The Ten Commandments”, an [Read »]

Huntress – Static

27th September 2015 Reinier de Vries

It is an understatement to conclude that singer Jill Janus is a rather complex person. If you want to know why, you should find some more info about her on the internet. In the personal lyrics [Read »]

Godslave – Whatever We Want

23rd September 2015 Reinier de Vries

Thrash band Godslave has released some rather o.k. albums and now decided to record an EP with Status Quo covers. I hoped that the band would play some faster thrash versions of the songs, but [Read »]

Harlott – Proliferation

20th September 2015 Reinier de Vries

This thrash band from Melbourne already surprised me with their ‘Origin’ album, but with this new album they really overwhelmed me. It is maybe not original, but it is so fast, hard and heavy and [Read »]
