Lefutray – Oath

January 11, 2016January 11, 2016 Vinterd

 I always find it interesting to take a look backwards at what you’ve missed because who knows maybe you’ll find your next favorite album. Lefutray’s latest album “Oath” is far from being my new favorite, but it is even more … Continue reading Lefutray – Oath

Black, MetalLeave a comment

Hordak – Padre

January 10, 2016 Vinterd

 One of my favorite sub-categories of black metal have always been pagan black metal. Simply because it’s in its essence folk metal combined with black metal, but a little bit more harsh with themes that you would expect: wizards, vikings, … Continue reading Hordak – Padre

Anthrax – Breathing Lightning (single)

January 9, 2016 Vinterd

 Ever since Anthrax announced their upcoming album, “For All Kings”, I’ve been trying my damnedest to stay away from any singles or previews or anything else like that because I wanted to go in and experience the whole album for … Continue reading Anthrax – Breathing Lightning (single)

Warchest – Downfall

January 8, 2016 Vinterd

 I’m just gonna tell you right up front in full honesty, this was bad to me at first. I really didn’t like it because I thought it was boring and it just didn’t have that same feel that thrash normally … Continue reading Warchest – Downfall

Doom, MetalLeave a comment

Conan – Revengeance

January 7, 2016 Vinterd

 Stoner and doom metal go together like PB&J, if you ask me. It’s been one of the most known hybrid genres in the world of metal right behind blackened death, or blackened thrash, and so on. Conan continues the tradition … Continue reading Conan – Revengeance

Eshtadur – Oblivion

January 6, 2016January 6, 2016 Vinterd

 Deathcore has never been my preferred “-core” music, but I’ve never been afraid to try it out because you never know what band is gonna pull next. Eshtadur is one such band for me because they really hovered on the … Continue reading Eshtadur – Oblivion

Death, MetalLeave a comment

Abyssus – Once Entombed…

January 5, 2016 Vinterd

 As a death metal band in the metal world of today you have got to find a way to set yourself apart from others. Some try moving forward and expanding the reaches of death into other genres, straight up mixing it with … Continue reading Abyssus – Once Entombed…

Lycus – Chasms

January 4, 2016January 5, 2016 Vinterd

 Funeral doom metal, you say? I am now stroking my beard in interest. If you want to start of the new year with a good, solid album that is quite possibly the epitome of funeral doom metal then you need … Continue reading Lycus – Chasms

Imperium – Sacramentum

January 3, 2016 Vinterd

 There are some people out there in the death metal community who firmly believe that the best kind of death metal is the kind where you cannot understand what’s going on, and while that remains true in a lot of … Continue reading Imperium – Sacramentum

Death, Metal, SymphonicLeave a comment

Fleshgod Apocalypse – The Fool (single)

January 2, 2016November 16, 2016 Vinterd

 Ah, the much talked about masters of symphonic death metal have returned to us at last! I’ve never really been one for Fleshgod Apocalypse as I could never really get into it but have never said I hated what I … Continue reading Fleshgod Apocalypse – The Fool (single)
