Ringworm – Death Becomes My Voice

April 28, 2019April 29, 2019 Vinterd

Hardcore has long been a sound that’s intrigued me, but the vast majority of the time it only really catches my eye when it’s mixed with metal as it’s that extra edge that really gets me going when it’s done … Continue reading Ringworm – Death Becomes My Voice

Swan Messiah – Call of the Burning One

April 27, 2019April 28, 2019 Vinterd

There have been many times that I’ve sat down to listen to a record and expected to hear a certain sound either because I was told so or merely gut feeling. When I delved into the latest album of Swan … Continue reading Swan Messiah – Call of the Burning One

Visigoth – Bells of Awakening

April 26, 2019April 27, 2019 Vinterd

There are some bands that can pass through the world of music on sheer badassery alone. It’s something we rarely see, but if done right there is nothing more infectious than a classic sounding heavy metal band that knows exactly … Continue reading Visigoth – Bells of Awakening

Totengott – The Abyss

April 25, 2019 Vinterd

Every now and then with music, I follow my gut where normally I wouldn’t give a second thought. When I first heard Totengott a few years ago, I could not help but feel that this band that was so heavily … Continue reading Totengott – The Abyss

Amon Amarth – Berserker

April 24, 2019 Vinterd

There have been many bands that have helped ease my way into the world of metal when I was first starting out in the genre with classic sounds like Manowar and Metallica being all but key to getting me into … Continue reading Amon Amarth – Berserker

Tumanduumband – s/t

April 23, 2019April 24, 2019 Vinterd

A worn out but somehow timeless trope that doom metal has had at its core for decades now is the use of Satanic themes, and it’s the sort of thing that, depending on the band at hand, can feel immensely … Continue reading Tumanduumband – s/t

Axis Mundi – The Depths

April 22, 2019April 23, 2019 Vinterd

Influence is something that I somehow find a way to simultaneously overlook yet take in on many different occasions. It’s something that just happens for me as in many cases you can hear the influence of bands that have become … Continue reading Axis Mundi – The Depths

Temple Koludra – Seven! Sirens! To A Lost Archetype

April 21, 2019 Vinterd

More often than not, whenever I want to lose myself in an album I typically go to any of three styles: psychedelic rock (usually instrumental), ambient, or psych doom. It was last night that the third provided me with an … Continue reading Temple Koludra – Seven! Sirens! To A Lost Archetype

Zaum – Divination

April 21, 2019 Vinterd

A setting that’s always entranced me is the deep jungle. Full of life with plenty of secrets held within both made by man and nature Herself, there’s plenty to find. It’s not often by any means that I find myself … Continue reading Zaum – Divination

Mork – Det Svarte Juv

April 19, 2019April 20, 2019 Vinterd

It’s with pretty much every style that I’ve come across that I’ve been lucky enough to find a good number of acts that really intrigue me and get my attention. For many, black metal is adorned by the likes of … Continue reading Mork – Det Svarte Juv
