New Music Monday: July 13, 2020

Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! You are going to see that this post is slightly different from my typical New Music Monday posts. I usually try to keep this between 3-5 new songs because it’s really important to me that I tell you about the new releases that I think are truly exceptional vs. just giving you a list of songs that were released in the heavy music world. Each week I carefully choose a select...

Lightworker’s ‘Fury By Failure’ – an Interview with Grayson Hurd

Lightworker just recently released their first full length album ‘Fury By Failure.’ The album perfectly combines both heavy and melodic instrumentals, smooth and aggressive vocals, and lyrics that send a message to push through and overcome, making it definitely worth listening to! Guitarist Grayson Hurd chatted with me about the band’s background and the new album. VV: You guys are based out of San Francisco and your Facebook page notes that you are the remnants of former bands. How did you...

New Album Alert: The Way It Ends – Currents

Connecticut based Currents just recently released their second album ‘The Way It Ends’ which follows their 2018 EP ‘I Let The Devil In’.

This album is something that is much needed and really hit me in the chest on a personal level. While the metalcore genre continues...

Ways to Help Support the Black Lives Matter Movement

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here and for that I’m sorry. With all that has been going on in the United States, it just hasn’t really felt right to post about anything else and I wanted to leave room for other voices to be heard. I’ve been more vocal on my Instagram account simply because I have a larger reach there at this time, but I also wanted to provide some information here that I’ve found on...

I was so excited and I was determined to have a badass Slayer shirt to wear to the show that no one else would have. I thought what I was...
