Testament – Brotherhood of the Snake

October 31, 2016November 1, 2016 Vinterd

 You know, it’s not every day that a band that’s been around for literal decades still manages to bust out monstrous albums. The genre of thrash is absolutely crawling with bands like that, and other than the Big Four, there … Continue reading Testament – Brotherhood of the Snake

Ravencult – Force of Profanation

October 30, 2016October 31, 2016 Vinterd

 I feel confident in saying that every sub-genre of metal has it’s own niche country that it can be easily associated with. Black metal gets Finland and death metal owns Sweden to name but two. But Greece? Well, they get … Continue reading Ravencult – Force of Profanation

Hammerhands – Largo Forte

October 29, 2016November 16, 2016 Vinterd

 There are just so many different ideas and so many different styles that it’s hard to keep up whenever something even a tad different comes along. Be it a combination of doom or stoner, a more organic take on sludge … Continue reading Hammerhands – Largo Forte

Death, MetalLeave a comment

Anaal Nathrakh – The Whole of the Law

October 28, 2016October 29, 2016 Vinterd

 You know, there are just some bands that refuse to hold anything back. I mean that in the very literal sense as well as every sense because they just wish to spread the terrible word of the fiery brimstone that … Continue reading Anaal Nathrakh – The Whole of the Law

Ysengrin / Sartegos – Resvrrezionespiritval

October 27, 2016 Vinterd

 Very rarely do people just a band’s potential quality based the record label they’re signed to simply because it just wouldn’t work the vast majority of the time. But if I want some straight nasty and darker than hell metal … Continue reading Ysengrin / Sartegos – Resvrrezionespiritval

Doom, MetalLeave a comment

Zaum – Eidolon

October 26, 2016 Vinterd

 I’m more of the kind of guy that leans towards albums with plenty of moving parts and variety to go around so things don’t get stale. Now, my collection of music isn’t nearly as populated with such music simply because … Continue reading Zaum – Eidolon

Downfall of Gaia – Atrophy

October 25, 2016 Vinterd

 Art comes in many forms, and an artist can come in varying levels in terms of how important an artist think his/her own work is as a whole. Some like to think their work is the only work that there … Continue reading Downfall of Gaia – Atrophy

Fallen Theory – On Truth We Choke

October 24, 2016October 24, 2016 Vinterd

 I find it to be very healthy for a band to wait a few years between records so that they don’t burn out creativity or just get sick of making music. Sure, some bands can just pump out so much … Continue reading Fallen Theory – On Truth We Choke

Wasted Theory – Defenders of the Riff

October 23, 2016 Vinterd

 When it comes down to being a band who’s actually somewhat serious answer, hardly anyone knows how to have fun anymore. I mean that in such a way that people don’t really play what they want because they want to … Continue reading Wasted Theory – Defenders of the Riff

Korn – The Serenity of Suffering

October 22, 2016 Vinterd

 There are bands out there that just require no introduction of any sort, and Korn is definitely one of them. As one of the longest lasting bands to have started out as nu metal, this American band has slowly come … Continue reading Korn – The Serenity of Suffering
