Favorite bands: Inter Arma, Manowar, Black Space Riders, Howls of Ebb, Greenleaf, Cannibal Corpse, Whispered

Keor – Petrichor

December 19, 2018 Vinterd

 To create something new and interesting is something that many artists have been straining to do ever since music became a thing. It’s part of what drives people to make something new or at least try to, and given the … Continue reading Keor – Petrichor

Religious Observance – Utter Discomfort

December 18, 2018 Vinterd

 Whenever I delve into the world of doom, I usually go for two distinct styles that I simply enjoy more often than most: long-winded and hypnotic experiences stretching on and on, or riff after riff that do naught but keep … Continue reading Religious Observance – Utter Discomfort

Nebula Orionis – Soulshard

December 17, 2018December 18, 2018 Vinterd

 The world of cosmic black metal is one that I’ve always been interested in but it’s also long been something that I’ve visited only on rare occasion. With acts like Midnight Odyessy, Mare Cognitum, and Mesarthim decorating the style while … Continue reading Nebula Orionis – Soulshard

Ritualizer – Blood Oaths

December 16, 2018 Vinterd

 You know… it’s been too long since I heard a solid slab of classic-esque heavy metal that really got me going. The last time that happened would easily have to be the last Vhaldemar album which is still fucking top … Continue reading Ritualizer – Blood Oaths

Oryx – Born Into Madness

December 15, 2018December 16, 2018 Vinterd

 Seeing bands try different things and even slowly morph their style into something else entirely is just the sort of thing that keeps me crawling back to certain bands time and again. From acts like Esoctrilihum to The Re-Stoned, it’s … Continue reading Oryx – Born Into Madness

Shadow of Death – Stoner Fucking Thrash

December 14, 2018 Vinterd

 The vast majority of the time whenever I’m hearing something with a heavy stoner presence in the ultimate mix, it’s doom metal and fuzz-filled rock that are what comes across to me ripe for listening. To be completely honest, I’ve … Continue reading Shadow of Death – Stoner Fucking Thrash

Aborted Earth – Placenta

December 13, 2018December 14, 2018 Vinterd

 Normally, whenever I’m venturing into a genre that I don’t know much about I tend to stick to the bigger acts before working down to the much smaller bands so that I get a real feel before getting into the … Continue reading Aborted Earth – Placenta

Aver – Orbis Majora

December 12, 2018December 13, 2018 Vinterd

 Ever since my discovery of the ever-classy Black Space Riders a few years ago, I’ve been very interested in investigating more into the world of space rock. I’ve always been into almost all things groovy and psychedelic in the world … Continue reading Aver – Orbis Majora

Winds of Mayhem – Ascend, Thy River

December 11, 2018December 12, 2018 Vinterd

 Should you be even a little familiar with black metal, you know that the scene is one that has easily the most amount of variety and experimentation in all of metal. It’s something that constantly has us crawling back time … Continue reading Winds of Mayhem – Ascend, Thy River

Serpent Lord – Towards the Damned

December 10, 2018December 11, 2018 Vinterd

 The landscape of heavy metal itself is one that’s always interesting for someone like me to come back to every now and then as it’s something that’s always changing with many new bands coming out every so often, but it’s … Continue reading Serpent Lord – Towards the Damned
