Sister – Stand Up, Forward, March!

November 10, 2016November 11, 2016 Vinterd

 I’m not usually one for anything that’s got plenty of punk influence simply because to me a lot of bands’ attempts just sound like angsty kids who just want to vent some pent up steam. Kinda like how a lot … Continue reading Sister – Stand Up, Forward, March!

Diabulus in Musica – Dirge for the Archons

November 9, 2016November 16, 2016 Vinterd

 It’s difficult enough to make any sort of music, that much I feel is obvious to anyone who knows about the tedious process. There’re so many moving parts and intricacies that go on, and the world of metal is clearly … Continue reading Diabulus in Musica – Dirge for the Archons

Oni – Ironshore

November 8, 2016November 8, 2016 Vinterd

 There are some bands out there who are simply of the metalcore style but feel the need to lie to themselves and potential listeners by labeling themselves as prog metal for whatever reason. But what if there was a band … Continue reading Oni – Ironshore

Saor – Guardians

November 7, 2016 Vinterd

 There are some bands that fit into a very odd group, and that group is bands who have achieved massive amounts of fame with their music on websites like Bandcamp, but you’ll never see them get any sort of major … Continue reading Saor – Guardians

November 6, 2016November 6, 2016 Vinterd

 You know, I always find myself returning to rock when I just want to do something such as fix my car, do some work on the computer, or just any activity to keep my mind going. It’s the energy, the … Continue reading Fliptop Box – Catch22

Earth and Pillars – Pillars I

November 6, 2016November 6, 2016 Vinterd

 The global scene of metal itself it quite literally littered with atmospheric black metal bands of all kinds with most of them congregating on Bandcamp. While a lot of them can be discarded almost immediately because they’re simply cookie cutter … Continue reading Earth and Pillars – Pillars I

Drescher – Steinfeld

November 4, 2016November 5, 2016 Vinterd

 See, I like some thrash metal. But I also like folk metal. The two have clearly got their own distinctions that set them apart as two completely different styles of metal that are equally phenomenal in my eyes, but who would’ve … Continue reading Drescher – Steinfeld

Sirenia – Dim Days of Dolor

November 3, 2016November 16, 2016 Vinterd

 Whoever said that symphonies were boring? Who dared to say that they were dull, boring, and could put any bastard poor enough to experience it into slumber instantly? People who don’t know about symphonic metal, that’s who! Combining the swift … Continue reading Sirenia – Dim Days of Dolor

Panzerfaust – The Lucifer Principle

November 2, 2016November 3, 2016 Vinterd

 It’s the truly dark side of metal that can truly bring out some of the best material metal fans can experience, particularly in the underground scenes of the world. In Canada, we get interesting black metal pieces like Sorcier des … Continue reading Panzerfaust – The Lucifer Principle

November 1, 2016 Vinterd

 Many people regard of the metal community regard bands who actually make it onto the radio repeatedly shit on them without a thought (examples being Disturbed, Slipknot, etc., etc.), and yet rock fans clearly embrace those who make it to … Continue reading Amendfoil – Empyrean & Ophidian
