Well my HeadBangers here we go another Hump Day and the first week in October. The weather is crazy and who knows what winter is going to be like but we still have our music so let’s get to it…
INVERNO – ITALY
“Lands”
I think this video is so damn good. Love the music and of course the vocals.
SINNERY – ISRAEL
“The Burning”
Now listen to these guys, Thrash from Israel, love it my HeadBangers.
REZET – GERMANY
“The Devil’s Bride”
I never get enough Thrash! Love my German Bands…
Well my HeadBangers I was 3 for 3 on the Thrash this week. Hope it helps, I know it helps me get through the rest of the week. Join me Saturday for the weekly band and next Wednesday for another Hump Day. I love doing Hump Day, so many bands, so little time. Have a great rest of your week my metal familia…
Well my HeadBangers while waiting to get interviews back from bands, a lot are touring so I understand, but the blog must go on so here we are. While looking around the globe at metal bands I happen to come across this band from France. The name of their band is: HROTHGAR . Hrothgar was was a semi-legendary Danish King living around the early sixth century AD. I don’t know if that’s where they take their name from but I bet it has something to do with it. That’s not a very common name. However their music kicks ass and the vocals, just kill me, you know how I am about my vocals. So let’s check these guys out…
“Dawn of Midgard”
“For Gods And North”
Do you hear that, omfg, those vocals kill me, sorry but you know how I am with my vocals. On their FB page it says:
The new Kings of Melodic death metal! Sailing across Death Metal and Traditional Heavy Metal.
Well I don’t know about the King part, but Melodic Death Metal, ah, I’m not sure, but I hear a little of everything with these guys and it all works. Metal has been broken down into so many sub genres that when I listen all I hear is metal, so Thrash, Speed, Power, it’s all there, and it all works. Every band has their own little twist but in the end it’s all metal.
The band started in 2013 going by the name of “Esteliath”, then officially became Hrothgar in June of 2017. I couldn’t find any bio on this band and you know that really gets to me. Every band should have a bio, hell I will do it for you, lmao. There are people like me out here that want to know about the band, that’s why I do written interviews guys. Anyway, so this will be a short one this week for lack of info but not for lack of music. Let’s meet the band…
Bertrand Paradis – Bass (2017-present)
Tristan Vatrain – Guitars & Vocals (2017-present)
Quentin Peyrouse – Vocals (2017-present)
Sébastien Couriol – Drums (2018-present)
My Thoughts:
I think this is the shortest band week I’ve done in a very long time, but like I said tours, gotta make that money. Anyway see that pic on the right side with the kid. Isn’t that what I always say, metal is familia. It is up to us to teach the next generation what metal is all about and I think we are all doing a great job. Look at the young bands, who they grew up listening to, yep, the older bands that are still around. Metal is all just one big METAL FAMILIA. Check these guys out, they really are good. They are on FB and Instagram. Till Hump Day my HeadBangers, have a great weekend and see you Wednesday for Hump Day and next Saturday for the weekly band, hopefully I’ll have an interview for you. Until then don’t stand to close to the fire if you can’t handle the burn…

It’s the last week in September, where did the month go. Winter is coming…
STABBED – HUNGARY
“Sleeper”
Well I’m really liking this band, they play Existential Dread Metal from Budapest, Hungary. I learn something new everyday. Those vocals are killing me….
KAUNIS KUOLEMATON – FINLAND
“Elävältä Haudattu”
Finnish Melodic Doom, this is what I needed today. That will take the crud right out of me. Listen to those vocals omfg. You know I love my vocals.
ASINHELL – DENMARK
“Fall of the Loyal Warrior”
Man this was a surprise for me. Asinhell features volbeat’s (who I love) Michael Poulsen, Marc Grewe (Insidious Disease, Ex-Morgoth) and Morten Toft Hansen (Raunchy). Their Debut Album Impii Hora comes out September 29. Check it out my HeadBangers.
Well I feel better already. Guess I just needed a good dose of some of the hard stuff. Join me Saturday for the weekly band, again accept my apologies, and next Wednesday for the weekly band. Hey wait till the snow flies, we are going to have some fun then…
Here we go my HeadBangers already half way through September, man time flies. Here are my 3 picks for you this week…
DRAGONFORCE – LONDON, ENGLAND
“The Last Dragonborn”
As a lover of everything dragon this Power Metal band is always on my radar.
GRYMHEART – HUNGARY
“Ignis Fatuus”
I am loving this band. Grymheart is a new Melodic Power Death metal band founded in 2022. You know I’m going to try to get an interview with this band.
Stam1na – Finland
“Muistipalatsi”
This band is what got me into blogging. When I first heard them it was immediate fire to the heart. They have been around since 1996. Antti Hyyrynen, has the best vocals and can go in any direction with them. I love them and it doesn’t hurt that they are some of the best hair moshers around.
My HeadBangers I hope this helps you get through the rest of your week. Join me Saturday for the weekly band and next Wednesday for another Hump Day…
