Prometheus – Aornos

June 28, 2022June 15, 2022 Vinterd

Aether – s/t

June 27, 2022June 21, 2022 Vinterd

Reverence for classic material that was made decades before has always been a cornerstone of many sections throughout the different veins of metal with some wholly dedicated to keeping that original sound intact without compromisation, and it’s from the world … Continue reading Aether – s/t

Light Dweller – Lucid Offering

June 26, 2022June 15, 2022 Vinterd

The very idea of the one-man band is something that has become truly integral in the world of black metal since the dawn of the digital era with plenty accomplishing it for years prior, but it’s now with so many … Continue reading Light Dweller – Lucid Offering

Basalt Shrine – From Fiery Tongues

June 25, 2022June 14, 2022 Vinterd

Inexorum – Equinox Vigil

June 24, 2022June 13, 2022 Vinterd

A band that is always seeking to better itself while never once confining itself to one specific sound is one that is truly capable of many, many things. It’s something that many names think that they’re capable of but they … Continue reading Inexorum – Equinox Vigil

The Wakedead Gathering – Parallaxiom

June 22, 2022June 13, 2022 Vinterd

With certain bands, it always feels as though the length between albums feels so much longer than just a few years. In exceptional cases, it can make a 3-year wait feel as though an entire decade has passed between efforts, … Continue reading The Wakedead Gathering – Parallaxiom

Morbid Evils – Supernaturals

June 21, 2022June 14, 2022 Vinterd

It goes without saying that the worlds of sludge and doom metal have long been intertwined given their heavy properties easily work off of each other when taken the right approach, but it can be too often that bands in … Continue reading Morbid Evils – Supernaturals

Cosmic Putrefaction – Crepuscular Dirge for the Blessed Ones

June 20, 2022June 12, 2022 Vinterd

In the modern landscape that metal happily finds itself in, whenever we talk about consistency out of many of the new names that we’ve come across, that of Gabriele Garmaglia has to be called upon every single time. The man … Continue reading Cosmic Putrefaction – Crepuscular Dirge for the Blessed Ones

Dolor – Let Rain Fall Eternal

June 19, 2022June 8, 2022 Vinterd

The very concepts of despair, failure, and insurmountable pain are something that has permeated the heaviest forms of metal for decades now, and it’s something that will likely never go away since those themes are everywhere we go while the … Continue reading Dolor – Let Rain Fall Eternal

Candy – Heaven is Here

June 17, 2022June 14, 2022 Vinterd

The very landscape of what can be considered hardcore, punk, or literally anything in between has become a true breeding ground for some of the most exceptional and unyielding bands to have come forth out of the underground over the … Continue reading Candy – Heaven is Here
