Daily Reviews for the Global Domination of Metal and Rock Music

Author: Vinterd

I am just a normal metal/rock lover who can honestly listen to almost anything. 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

Bort – The Unblinking Eye

March 19, 2019March 20, 2019 Vinterd

It’s always whenever I listen to an album that I expect to not hear anything from the band in question for years at least unless some sort of double album bonanza is at play. So whenever I hear from a … Continue reading Bort – The Unblinking Eye

Lysithea – Star-Crossed

March 18, 2019March 19, 2019 Vinterd

In my time as a metalhead, it appears to be all but clear that the entire genre as whole contains a wide swathe of emotions like incredibly few others out in the world, and it feels as though more emotions … Continue reading Lysithea – Star-Crossed

Goregӓng – Neon Graves

March 17, 2019March 18, 2019 Vinterd

Crust is the sort of thing that, like all metal, can feel really lazy at times. To bring some flavors of punk into the vast world of death metal is far from anything that we’ve seen before for years, but … Continue reading Goregӓng – Neon Graves

Flame, Dear Flame – The Millennial Heartbeat

March 16, 2019March 17, 2019 Vinterd

The single greatest idea that I’ve found in all my time scouring music is how every now and then we get an act that dares to create songs that are ridiculous in length as we get pieces that can range … Continue reading Flame, Dear Flame – The Millennial Heartbeat

Frosthelm – Pyrrhic

March 15, 2019 Vinterd

Whenever I venture into the blistering world of blackened thrash, I tend to go in with not much in terms of expectations other than speed and immense aggression. That’s something that is very natural for a style such as this, … Continue reading Frosthelm – Pyrrhic

Whitechapel – The Valley

March 14, 2019 Vinterd

This is one of those bands that I’ve always looked towards whenever I talk about the world of deathcore as, even though it’s a side of music that I don’t find myself visiting enough in recent years, it’s a style … Continue reading Whitechapel – The Valley

Bong-Ra – Antediluvian

March 13, 2019March 14, 2019 Vinterd

The idea of taking doom metal to crazy new places via an insane aural experience through means of psychedelia and experimentation is far from a new idea as we’ve seen the genre taken to many different places thanks to the … Continue reading Bong-Ra – Antediluvian

Hybrid Nightmares – Obelisk

March 12, 2019March 10, 2019 Vinterd

Before 2019 even got going, I was already excited for it because I could see the gathering storm of releases that were heading my way. There were so fucking much from bands I love that are coming out that I … Continue reading Hybrid Nightmares – Obelisk

Triumvir Foul – Urine of Abomination

March 11, 2019March 5, 2019 Vinterd

With the, quite literally, thousands of bands that I’ve come across in the last few years, it’s only natural that I’m going to have a fair sized list of some acts that stick out from the crowd for one reason … Continue reading Triumvir Foul – Urine of Abomination

Véhémence – Par le Sang Versé

March 10, 2019 Vinterd

A simple gimmick can be all a band needs to draw a certain audience towards them, and the potential for such an idea is practically limitless. Hell, we’ve seen plenty of examples of pirates in metal with the likes of … Continue reading Véhémence – Par le Sang Versé
