Al-Namrood – Worship the Degenerate

April 27, 2022April 16, 2022 Vinterd

Barad Guldur – Vishapner

March 9, 2022February 27, 2022 Vinterd

Wilderun – Epigone

January 17, 2022January 4, 2022 Vinterd

Antucuran – La Maldicion del Gobernador Manqueante

November 29, 2021November 19, 2021 Vinterd

If you ask me, any sort of attempt to even try to bring together the worlds of black and folk metal is virtually always worthy of investigation simply because of the prospect of a successful attempt which, when one does … Continue reading Antucuran – La Maldicion del Gobernador Manqueante

Itnuveth – Ananké

November 26, 2021November 13, 2021 Vinterd

Cân Bardd – Devoured By The Oak

November 17, 2021November 5, 2021 Vinterd

October 11, 2021September 26, 2021 Vinterd

Untamed Land – Like Creatures Seeking Their Own Forms

October 2, 2021September 23, 2021 Vinterd

The near-constant guessing of what I’m going to hear next will always be a massive factor as to why I will always keep coming back to metal even despite listening to it day in and day out for years now … Continue reading Untamed Land – Like Creatures Seeking Their Own Forms
