The Ocean Collective – Phanerozoic I: Palaeozoic

September 11, 2018 Vinterd

 The idea of an album being an experience is one that has waned in recent time, and I find that to be a damn shame. I’ve always reveled when a band or artist takes it upon themselves to create an … Continue reading The Ocean Collective – Phanerozoic I: Palaeozoic

Daagh – s/t

September 10, 2018 Vinterd

 A word that I’ve always loved giving to black metal is “cold” as it’s incredibly descriptive, specific, and can mean so much for just black metal. But it’s been such a long time since I’ve been able to call any … Continue reading Daagh – s/t

Master – Vindictive Miscreant

September 9, 2018September 10, 2018 Vinterd

 There are always a few select words that metalheads love to throw around when talking about bands that have been around for about twenty years or more. Legendary, masterful, god-tier, mythic; all words that make every band seem so much … Continue reading Master – Vindictive Miscreant

Kingnomad – The Great Nothing

September 8, 2018 Vinterd

 A really special style that has been around for decades but has made one hell of a comeback with modern listeners is the glorious world of heavy psych. Those two words cover a lot of ground as that could range … Continue reading Kingnomad – The Great Nothing

Chaos Over Cosmos – The Unknown Voyage

September 7, 2018 Vinterd

 The very simple task of broadening one’s musical horizons is something that I live for when it comes to metal. Trying to new things and hearing new styles is something that really helps me fall asleep at night then to … Continue reading Chaos Over Cosmos – The Unknown Voyage

Esoctrilihum – Inhüma

September 6, 2018 Vinterd

 One of the grand pleasures that I’ve found with these reviews is being able to find many bands that have taken me on unforgettable journeys across metal in too many ways to count. Some of them vary from grand acts … Continue reading Esoctrilihum – Inhüma

Revocation – The Outer Ones

September 5, 2018December 31, 2020 Vinterd

 The lifetime of an album cycle can really make or break a band. Spend too much time between records and you can risk losing interest from fans or begin to want to do different things instead, but spend too little … Continue reading Revocation – The Outer Ones

Soul Dissolution – Nowhere

September 4, 2018 Vinterd

 There are always albums that I see circulating on Bandcamp that I see getting a lot of attention and praise to which I tell myself I’ll get around to listening to it but never do for any number of reasons. … Continue reading Soul Dissolution – Nowhere

Skyforest – Harmony

September 3, 2018 Vinterd

 When I sat down to find something to listen to today, I was really craving some black metal for whatever reason. After hours of searching, I stumbled upon the news that Skyforest had just dropped a new album so I … Continue reading Skyforest – Harmony

Dead Sisters – s/t

September 2, 2018September 3, 2018 Vinterd

 The art of drawing out a sound to stretch over ten, twenty, thirty, and even more minutes is something that not many feel up to the task for, but it’s with doom metal that we see people willing to tackle … Continue reading Dead Sisters – s/t
