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...

No Return – The Curse Within

11th November 2017 Reinier de Vries

In contradiction with their name the band returns with a new album on a regular base. I had to look it up, but this is already the 10th album of this French death/thrash combo. I [Read »]

Arrayan Path -Dawn Of Aquarius

4th November 2017 Reinier de Vries

It doesn’t happen a lot lately that a new album in the power metal genre makes me really enthusiastic. Almost all has been said and done in this genre, or should I say played and [Read »]

Communic – Where Echoes Gather

24th October 2017 Reinier de Vries

Damn, has it already been 7 years since their last release The Bottom Deep? It took them such a long time, due to family increase of both Oddleif and Tor-Atle and I can totally understand [Read »]

Dr. Living Dead – Cosmic Conqueror

24th October 2017 Reinier de Vries

Dr. Living Dead from Stockholm has a kind of strange image with skull masks and bandanas. I don’t think that we should take that too ceriously, but fortunately it is not all gimmick, the music [Read »]

Power Quest – Sixth Dimension

11th October 2017 Reinier de Vries

After six years Power Quest is back with their sixth full length and how! After the slightly disappointing release of Nocturnal Rites a very pleasant surprise. Opener ‘Lords Of Tomorrow’ sets the high standard for [Read »]

27th September 2017 Reinier de Vries

After leaving Megadeth, Chris Broderick and Shawn Drover started Act Of Defiance. Within the year they released Birth And the Burial, an album with thrash music based on Megadeth influences. Now the second album Old Scars, New Wounds is [Read »]

Nocturnal Rites – Phoenix

27th September 2017 Reinier de Vries

When I read that Nocturnal Rites was busy recording a new album I was over the moon. Ten years have passed since their last release The 8th Sin. Now, I have to admit that I was [Read »]

National Suicide – Massacre Elite

22nd September 2017 Reinier de Vries

Massacre Elite is the third album from these Italian thrashers. Like the album, the review isn’t very long, but that isn’t necessary. Quality is more important than quantity. Stefano Mini’s voice sounds like he is [Read »]

Cripper – Follow Me: Kill!

15th September 2017 Reinier de Vries

Yes! Just in time for the deadline I finished this review. When you are very busy with the job that pays the bills, the hobby is less important, but I needed to review this album [Read »]

Hexx – Wrath Of The Reaper

9th September 2017 Reinier de Vries

For me, this new Hexx album came out of the blue. Somewhere in 1986 during my weekly visit at the record store in the search for new music, the splendid and beautiful artwork of Under [Read »]
