Exhumed / Gatecreeper – Split

December 8, 2019November 30, 2019 Vinterd

You’d think that any band that had just put out a titanic work of any style would seek to tour in support of that work, go back to the drawing board to make for another piece with a release set … Continue reading Exhumed / Gatecreeper – Split

December 6, 2019November 24, 2019 Vinterd

I’ve always enjoyed it when certain labels and/or groups shine a light onto the music scene of places that we normally don’t think to look at. It’s never really often that I sit here and wonder what the experimental scene … Continue reading Unexplained Sounds Group – Anthology of Persian Experimental Music

L’Homme Absurde – Belong

December 5, 2019November 26, 2019 Vinterd

Post-black metal isn’t exactly an uncommon thing any more thanks to plenty of other black metal bands, whether they were atmospheric or not, breaking new grounds for themselves in the realm of post-metal in some form as they can produce … Continue reading L’Homme Absurde – Belong

Atavicus – Di Eroica Stirpe

December 4, 2019November 24, 2019 Vinterd

It’s not too terribly often that I find myself really swayed by folk metal despite it being one of my favorite styles given how grand and expansive it can be in even some its simplest moments. Plenty of acts have … Continue reading Atavicus – Di Eroica Stirpe

Colosso – Apocalypse

December 2, 2019December 2, 2019 Vinterd

I’m usually the kind of guys that like my death metal to be grand and having tons to sink my teeth into as the more there is the more excellence it has to pass around at a moment’s notice. Colosso … Continue reading Colosso – Apocalypse

Black Roze – Spiritual Hell

December 1, 2019November 24, 2019 Vinterd

It’s been some time since there was any sort of rock album that could even be considered to have anywhere near a pop-esque feel to it that was actually worth any bit of its own salt. Mother Feather is easily … Continue reading Black Roze – Spiritual Hell

A Headless Horse – Belong / The Moon Into Blood

November 29, 2019November 21, 2019 Vinterd

Plenty of shoegaze can be really entrancing at times, but there are also plenty of moments when I find myself incredibly bored with the sound because of the lack of energy that’s going around or the band itself just doesn’t … Continue reading A Headless Horse – Belong / The Moon Into Blood
