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

Illimitable Dolor / Promethean Misery – Split

January 28, 2019January 29, 2019 Vinterd

 Much like my recent coverage of the split album between Chaoshorde and Satan’s Acolyte’s, I want to reiterate just how much I love a good, proper split between two bands of similar style that don’t only just work on their … Continue reading Illimitable Dolor / Promethean Misery – Split

Embrional – Evil Dead

January 27, 2019January 28, 2019 Vinterd

 While my love for death metal reaches across pretty much every the style has to offer from its purest incarnations to the very outer rim of the genre as the line begins to blur, it’s with the seething base of … Continue reading Embrional – Evil Dead

Popiół – Zabobony

January 26, 2019 Vinterd

 One of the greatest things about the glory of metal music is how far reaching it has become across the world as it feels like every other country has loads of metal acts to call their own, and with that … Continue reading Popiół – Zabobony

Eyes of the Living – War On Dead – More Dead

January 25, 2019 Vinterd

 Creating thrash metal can often be ridiculed as being easy and something that could simply be pulled out of nowhere if it’s in the right hands, and it’s not hard to see why someone might think that. The thrash scene … Continue reading Eyes of the Living – War On Dead – More Dead

Drofnosura – Voidfever

January 24, 2019 Vinterd

 Every now and then, we get something that’s fucking weird. I don’t mean something that’s a mild oddity or an album that just barely sits apart from the rest of the style. I mean something that’s its own fucking entity … Continue reading Drofnosura – Voidfever

Endolith – Chicxulub – The Fossil Record

January 23, 2019January 24, 2019 Vinterd

 There have been plenty of times where whenever I sat down to listen to a metal band that’s primarily progressive, I find myself being pulled out of the experience as the band in question tends to make their style far … Continue reading Endolith – Chicxulub – The Fossil Record

Illimitable Dolor – Leaden Light

January 22, 2019 Vinterd

 This is one of those bands that I could wait an eternity for in order to hear new material from them. Illimitable Dolor is one of those bands that didn’t get my full love with their debut album, but it … Continue reading Illimitable Dolor – Leaden Light

Chaoshorde / Satan’s Acolytes – Satanic Hordes

January 22, 2019January 22, 2019 Vinterd

 After doing these reviews for almost five years at this point, it goes without saying that I’ve been lucky enough to hear an absolute menagerie of bands from all over doing all sorts of different styles. When the stars align … Continue reading Chaoshorde / Satan’s Acolytes – Satanic Hordes

Vistery – Death Is Dead

January 20, 2019January 21, 2019 Vinterd

 Novelty is something that just about everyone can relate to with any form of music as hearing something new and fresh is an endlessly entertaining force the likes of which there simply isn’t any true end to. Yet, sometimes you … Continue reading Vistery – Death Is Dead

Downfall of Gaia – Ethic of Radical Finitude

January 19, 2019 Vinterd

 There are many themes and ideas that have gone into the incredibly vast realm of black metal over the years as everything from the concept of nature to the very echoes of the soul have been poured into the genre … Continue reading Downfall of Gaia – Ethic of Radical Finitude
