New Heavy Music That’s “Not of This Earth” : NMM

A few months ago when listening to my New Music Monday playlist, my husband said “this is kind of like an experience.” When I asked what he meant, he said “you kind of have a theme with the songs you pick. They all just fit.” While this is The Versatile Virgo, I do carefully pick these songs each week in an attempt to give you a cool listening experience.

The 40th Anniversary ‘Ace of Spades’ Vinyl

Sinnrs Release New Single “Agnus Dei”

2020 has been a brutal year to say the least. Thankfully, the Danish black metal duo, Sinnrs, brought us an equally brutal single to finish it off. In their new single “Agnus Dei”, Sinnrs deliver a smooth blend of classic and extreme metal. The band’s use of classical elements only further intensify the energy of this song. It’s dark, melodic, and brutally heavy, immersing you into a haunting atmosphere made for Winter 2020/2021. If you’re a fan of bands like...

My First Slipknot Concert : FCD #5

What was it like the first time you saw your favorite musician live? It’s a moment of pure excitement that fans never forget.
