Etrange – s/t

April 17, 2020April 10, 2020 Vinterd

Usually, whenever I want visuals of something crazy in space with insane colors and a general out-of-this-world vibe, it’s somewhere in the realm of psych-rock that I find myself looking. On rare occasions, though, it’s elsewhere that delivers such goods. … Continue reading Etrange – s/t

Ephemeral – VII

April 7, 2020April 2, 2020 Vinterd

There is a very tricky thing to the seemingly easy concept that is melodic death metal, but it only occurs if you don’t want to go the “easy” route of just taking straight death metal and shoving a ton of … Continue reading Ephemeral – VII

Under the Pledge of Secrecy – Empire of Bastards

March 10, 2020March 4, 2020 Vinterd

The world of grind is something that I constantly find myself coming back to with very much of an itch that the likes of Cattle Decapitation have instilled in me that has been reoccurring for years now. Yet, it’s been … Continue reading Under the Pledge of Secrecy – Empire of Bastards

Oratory – IV

February 22, 2020February 21, 2020 Vinterd

Whenever we think of anything related to black metal, we tend to think of something extreme with an icy edge to it all that could drain the very light out of the universe if it so desired, and something along … Continue reading Oratory – IV

Zayn – You

February 16, 2020February 8, 2020 Vinterd

The real beauty of instrumental rock to me comes from the fact that you can really do almost whatever it is you want stylistically and it’ll sound at the very least decent. You can easily shift from something riff-heavy to … Continue reading Zayn – You

Lord Mantis – Universal Death Church

February 4, 2020January 27, 2020 Vinterd

There are many, many works of sludge out there that range so much in just how much raw heaviness they bring to the table, and it’s quite uncommon that we see a band bring it justice when it’s mixed with … Continue reading Lord Mantis – Universal Death Church

Altesia – Paragon Circus

February 2, 2020January 24, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not terribly often that we get a progressive record that just feels fun in its essence. Typically, we get stuff that’s far more serious than it has to be, and that can be a little soul-draining at times because … Continue reading Altesia – Paragon Circus

Harbinger of Storms – Jupiter

January 31, 2020January 23, 2020 Vinterd

If you look closely, or not that close at all, really, you might notice that there is somewhat of an unintended war going on between many bands that inhabit the land of doom metal whether bands or listeners know it … Continue reading Harbinger of Storms – Jupiter

Vofa – s/t

January 19, 2020January 15, 2020 Vinterd

Ifa we were to pick a landscape that could perfectly encapsulate the very idea of doom metal in some of its heaviest forms, Iceland would not be the first place I’d think of but damn if it’s not an immaculate … Continue reading Vofa – s/t

Hyperborea – Umbra

January 11, 2020January 9, 2020 Vinterd

In order to create some world-class death metal, you really need to know what you’re doing right from the beginning in order to craft something that can easily be called as such. You can’t just stumble upon making something like … Continue reading Hyperborea – Umbra
