Hammers of Misfortune – Dead Revolution

July 11, 2016 Vinterd

 I’ve a distinct feeling that whenever people will think about progressive metal in 2016 they’ll only think about Gojira, and that makes me sad. Sure, their new album was pretty good depending on who you ask, but many people aren’t … Continue reading Hammers of Misfortune – Dead Revolution

Smash Skulls – Fall of Humanity

July 10, 2016 Vinterd

 The first place you think of for any good metal in particular you think of places like Norway, Finland, Brazil, and maybe even Greece, but Portugal almost if not ever is a second thought. Smash Skulls are possibly the first … Continue reading Smash Skulls – Fall of Humanity

Carnage Inc. – Fury Incarnate

July 9, 2016 Vinterd

 Man, do I love India! Not only does is have a super rich culture and is way different from the lifestyle that I’m accustomed to, but the metal scene is growing faster than mold on month old bread. With bands … Continue reading Carnage Inc. – Fury Incarnate

Countess – Fires of Destiny

July 8, 2016 Vinterd

 When any metal head refers to the “glory days” of the genre, they tend to be talking about the 80s and 90s where everything was heavy, unprecedented, and nothing holding the bands back. Not many bands who were around in … Continue reading Countess – Fires of Destiny

Great Reversals – Mere Mortals

July 7, 2016July 8, 2016 Vinterd

 When listening to hardcore, I’m usually a bit more pickier than I typically would. It’s not that I don’t like it, I just have preferences which makes this an already biased piece of shit, but whatever. Great Reversals have shown … Continue reading Great Reversals – Mere Mortals

Somnium Nox – Apocrypha

July 6, 2016 Vinterd

 The kinds of bands that are brave enough to test their musicianship and how long they can keep up a good sound for over ten minutes in just one song tend to stick strictly within doom metal understandably. Somnium Nox … Continue reading Somnium Nox – Apocrypha

Revocation – Great Is Our Sin

July 5, 2016January 1, 2021 Vinterd

 I feel like it’s safe to call Revocation one of the most well known and respected technical death metal bands of our time with their discography already being mind blowing and genre defining to say in the very least. And … Continue reading Revocation – Great Is Our Sin

Sun & Stone – Elephant’s Eye

July 4, 2016December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 Believe it or not, I have emotions, too. Sometimes I feel alright, sometimes great, and sometimes down for the, you know, various reasons of the world. When I’m down in the dumps I always try to find a nice piece … Continue reading Sun & Stone – Elephant’s Eye

Grond – Worship the Kraken

July 3, 2016 Vinterd

 For someone like me there’s nothing like good death metal. Casually listening to sheer intensity about death and destruction may seem a bit odd to many people, but to us there isn’t anything better. The only problem is finding new … Continue reading Grond – Worship the Kraken

Meuchelmord – Nostalgia

July 2, 2016 Vinterd

 The thing that is depressive black metal has always been one of those things that interests me, but rarely does something come along from the genre that peaks my interest. Meuchelmord became one of the first bands to do so for … Continue reading Meuchelmord – Nostalgia
