Hyloxalus – Aposematic

July 22, 2021July 10, 2021 Vinterd

Krilloan – Stories of Time Forgotten

May 16, 2021May 6, 2021 Vinterd

It’s all too often that we find ourselves swarmed by bombastic material with tons of energy and life to it that has the capacity that can feel downright invigorating, but it’s all too often that it feels lifeless. What’s the … Continue reading Krilloan – Stories of Time Forgotten

Elmsfire – Wings of Reckoning

August 7, 2020July 23, 2020 Vinterd

There’s a true cheesy wonder to be had when the worlds of power metal and heavy metal are brought together for some hijinks that can just as easily be incredibly serious as immensely ridiculous. It’s not terribly often anymore that … Continue reading Elmsfire – Wings of Reckoning

Battle Born – s/t

April 30, 2020April 23, 2020 Vinterd

I am a guy that can just as easily love something that’s highly novel, unique, and outstanding in its originality, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say how much I love some good cheese. In the proper dosage, cheese can … Continue reading Battle Born – s/t

March 15, 2020March 12, 2020 Vinterd

Desert – Fortune Favors the Brave

August 29, 2019 Vinterd

It’s the occasional surprise that really keeps me coming back to styles that I don’t frequent often and power metal is definitely one of those styles that I can almost always eat right up given just how fun it is … Continue reading Desert – Fortune Favors the Brave
