Ardormort – s/t

December 29, 2018December 30, 2018 Vinterd

 A lot of times we see many new acts manned by just one person, and sometimes we get some truly engaging material that seems amazing that it came from the mind of a single human. But, as you might expect, … Continue reading Ardormort – s/t

Nordland – The Dead Stones

December 28, 2018December 29, 2018 Vinterd

 Pagan metal is one of those styles that always a little tricky for me as sometimes it just feels like a name that some black metal artists use to make themselves sound different on paper, but when you actually hear … Continue reading Nordland – The Dead Stones

My Darkest Time – Dawn

December 27, 2018December 28, 2018 Vinterd

 Of all the different styles of doom metal that I’ve had the immense pleasure of reading over the years, one of the more specific veins of the style that I’ve never really been able to get into all that much … Continue reading My Darkest Time – Dawn

Nebula Orionis – Starthrone

December 26, 2018December 26, 2018 Vinterd

 It wasn’t even ten days ago that I heard the promising EP from Nebula Orionis that was released just earlier this year, and with a new album on the very near horizon, I was very hopeful as to what this act … Continue reading Nebula Orionis – Starthrone

Black Viper – Hellions of Fire

December 25, 2018 Vinterd

 In today’s metal climate, it’s very important to people like me to get something different in our collections so that we’re not listening to the same fucking thing over and over again, but every and then there’s a surprisingly welcome … Continue reading Black Viper – Hellions of Fire

Lord Vapour – Semuta

December 24, 2018December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 With the year winding down to a close, I always like to make at least one more stop in each of my favorite styles to end the year on a good note with some excellent material released at this time … Continue reading Lord Vapour – Semuta

Ars Magna Umbrae – Lunar Ascension

December 23, 2018December 24, 2018 Vinterd

Hobos – Nell’Era Dell’Apparenza

December 22, 2018December 23, 2018 Vinterd

 Much like grind, punk is something that I’ve always been interested in but have never really sat down to dive head first into that realm to really find something that I can latch onto for a while. The best example … Continue reading Hobos – Nell’Era Dell’Apparenza

Croc Noir – Mort

December 21, 2018 Vinterd

 There are many times that I need even the briefest of breaks from a style simply because I don’t want to tire myself or even go far enough as to burn myself out with it for a little, and it … Continue reading Croc Noir – Mort

Husmanskost – Solstice

December 20, 2018 Vinterd

 The world of grind is something that I don’t often visit, and I’ve been very open about that as it’s a style that I’ve always wanted to hear more of but it’s really something that I need to take in … Continue reading Husmanskost – Solstice
