Author: Vinterd

I made this one-man review account to listen to good music, meet new and cool bands, and hopefully meet some nice people along the way. Favorite bands: Inter Arma, Manowar, Black Space Riders, Howls of Ebb, Greenleaf, Cannibal Corpse, Whispered

Midnight – Rebirth by Blasphemy

December 28, 2019December 30, 2019 Vinterd

 Mixing together the unrelenting worlds of black and thrash metal is far from a novel concept anymore as an incredibly large number of bands have tried it before to plenty of success, but it’s nowadays that we don’t see it … Continue reading Midnight – Rebirth by Blasphemy

Helleborus – Saprophytic Divinations

December 27, 2019December 22, 2019 Vinterd

More often than not when we get a band that falls into the realm of black metal, we normally aren’t treated to a display that’s can be classified as diverse or transformative by any means whatsoever, and that’s truly a … Continue reading Helleborus – Saprophytic Divinations

Grey Stag – The Boats

December 26, 2019December 22, 2019 Vinterd

 To create some high-quality sludge of any sort, you’re gonna have to know how to create something that’s just as heavy as it is mesmerizing in its own special way. Making it on its own without any support from other … Continue reading Grey Stag – The Boats

Sewer Dwellers – Fate of a Maggot

December 25, 2019December 22, 2019 Vinterd

 Reaching into the world of anything related to metalcore or deathcore is the sort of thing that I simply don’t do enough and it’s simply because there isn’t a lot that reaches out to me from the style as it … Continue reading Sewer Dwellers – Fate of a Maggot

Deprecator – Tickle Time

December 24, 2019December 22, 2019 Vinterd

 There have been plenty of bands that I’ve come across that try to infuse some sort of comedy into their work, and it’d be an understatement to say that most of them didn’t succeed all that well. I’ve come across … Continue reading Deprecator – Tickle Time

Baldrs Draumar – Magnus

December 23, 2019December 22, 2019 Vinterd

The land of folk metal is something that can seem just as vast as it can feel almost uninspired in many unfortunate instances. It can be very easy for a band that wants to walk through the realm of folk … Continue reading Baldrs Draumar – Magnus

Orodruin – Ruins of Eternity

December 22, 2019December 10, 2019 Vinterd

 I always have liked myself a good Tolkien reference in metal whether it be the core theme to a band’s material or just in their name. When I first peered upon the name that is Orodruin, I figured I’d be … Continue reading Orodruin – Ruins of Eternity

Innards – Back From the Grave, Straight In Your Face

December 21, 2019December 10, 2019 Vinterd

 To say that there is an ungodly amount of bands that at least try to bring old school death metal to their sound would be an egregious understatement the likes of which the metal world can do without. Don’t get … Continue reading Innards – Back From the Grave, Straight In Your Face

Frozen Planet….1969 – Meltdown on the Horizon

December 20, 2019December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 The number of bands that do their best to bring forth their own brand of psychedelia into the world is at an untold high nowadays, and it’s not hard to see why given how much enjoyment the style can bring … Continue reading Frozen Planet….1969 – Meltdown on the Horizon

Golden Heir Sun – Holy The Abyss

December 19, 2019December 10, 2019 Vinterd

It’s well within the capabilities of the expansive realm that is post-metal to create something that can truly cut deeper than any other music of its medium in such a way that’s as primal and raw as could be. With … Continue reading Golden Heir Sun – Holy The Abyss
