Ravaged Spleen Outburst – The Church of Anemia

October 11, 2018October 12, 2018 Vinterd

 Of all the styles that metal has managed to spawn over its illustrious history with plenty of exceedingly specific names to have come into reality in recent years, it’s the realms of slam and brutal death metal that I’ve almost … Continue reading Ravaged Spleen Outburst – The Church of Anemia

Mongol – The Return

October 10, 2018October 11, 2018 Vinterd

 Most of the time, you’ll find me in a folk metal drought as even though I love the style up and down I find myself being incredibly picky with it against my better judgment. Yet, despite that, I’ve been hearing … Continue reading Mongol – The Return

Dødsferd – Diseased Remnants of A Dying World

October 9, 2018 Vinterd

 Every now and then, we’re gifted with a black metal act that really knows how to transcend the style in many different ways. From hearkening back to the classic and cold days of black metal to today’s incredibly unpredictable scene … Continue reading Dødsferd – Diseased Remnants of A Dying World

Kåabalh – s/t

October 8, 2018October 8, 2018 Vinterd

 The art of death metal is something that’s not incredibly difficult to imagine as there are so many different influences and acts to draw from with just about every imaginable template available to you ripe for copying or tweaking. But … Continue reading Kåabalh – s/t

Eighth Tower Records – Decay, Death and Darkness

October 7, 2018October 8, 2018 Vinterd

 If you’re even the slightest bit into dark art, as in illustrations with dark themes to them (no Harry Potter jokes here), you know the name of Beksiński at the drop of a hat. It’s all but iconic to where we … Continue reading Eighth Tower Records – Decay, Death and Darkness

Nekromant – The Nekromant Lives

October 6, 2018October 7, 2018 Vinterd

 The art of the riff is something that a seemingly infinite number of bands try their hand at to all sorts of degrees of success with some coming off feeling lazy and unimagined while others wield the riffs incredibly well … Continue reading Nekromant – The Nekromant Lives

Minsk / Zatokrev – Bigod

October 5, 2018October 6, 2018 Vinterd

 There were few bands that captured my imagination and brought my attention to the world of post-metal than Minsk with their still magnificent 2015 album “The Crash and the Draw”. It’s still my favorite record of the genre as it … Continue reading Minsk / Zatokrev – Bigod

Entropia – Vacuum

October 4, 2018 Vinterd

 If you’re anything like me, you can easily gravitate towards metal that has a psychedelic edge to it simply because why the fuck not? Black metal has long been one of the styles other than death and thrash metal that … Continue reading Entropia – Vacuum

Doom, MetalLeave a comment

Domkraft – Flood

October 3, 2018October 4, 2018 Vinterd

 The concept of making doom or even sludge with a little bit of psychedelia is far from anything new as it’s been done for literally decades, but there’s always a way to keep it interesting even if you don’t do … Continue reading Domkraft – Flood

Crystalmoors / Hordak – Árguma / Ophiusa

October 2, 2018 Vinterd

 Much like what I said but two days ago, the pagan metal is something that I’ve always felt partial to but has always favored it more for the folk elements and spirituality above all else as I love that shit. … Continue reading Crystalmoors / Hordak – Árguma / Ophiusa
