Laudare – d.é.o.m.é.

August 21, 2018August 22, 2018 Vinterd

 There is something about most music that many people tend to forget especially in the world of metal where everything tends to be violent and even catastrophic at times: it’s art. We tend to gloss over that fact with many … Continue reading Laudare – d.é.o.m.é.

Morbid Messiah – Demonic Paroxysm

August 20, 2018 Vinterd

 Going through the promos that we reviewers constantly get, we get many choice words thrown our way that are purely meant to grasp our attention to convince us to investigate the material in question. Words like “masterpiece” and phrases such … Continue reading Morbid Messiah – Demonic Paroxysm

Eternal Rot – Cadaverine

August 19, 2018 Vinterd

 Something that I’ve always loved about metal is how easily you can gel two different styles together to create a sound that’s somehow even more potent and volatile than if the styles were left alone. It has created some of … Continue reading Eternal Rot – Cadaverine

Satan – Cruel Magic

August 18, 2018 Vinterd

 The fiery spirit that is heavy metal is something that doesn’t easily leave the heart of a musician, and there are some acts out there who have been performing it for decades. But over the course of over thirty-five years, … Continue reading Satan – Cruel Magic

Transcendence – Hour of the Summoning

August 17, 2018 Vinterd

 It’s not hard to understand or see why death metal is still as strong as it is simply because we are living in what can easily be described as a golden age of the underground with how many releases we … Continue reading Transcendence – Hour of the Summoning

Imperialist – Cipher

August 16, 2018August 19, 2018 Vinterd

Nowadays whenever we look at space and black metal coming together, the majority of the time it’s being embodied by some atmospheric or cosmic black metal act like Mesarthim. But what if we simply explored the vacuum without getting too … Continue reading Imperialist – Cipher

Monstrosity – The Passage of Existence

August 15, 2018 Vinterd

 Moving forward as a death metal band can be incredibly tricky if you don’t do much to deviate from your original sound or try to bring something really new to the table in order to keep things fresh for both … Continue reading Monstrosity – The Passage of Existence

Every Hour Kills – Fragile Machine

August 14, 2018 Vinterd

 It has been quite a while since I dove into the world of metalcore by any standards simply because for a while it felt like there wasn’t anything interesting for me to find in the style. Yet, I wanted to … Continue reading Every Hour Kills – Fragile Machine

Torturer – Die In Pain

August 13, 2018 Vinterd

 The old school of metal is a place that so many metalheads don’t want to leave. Be it either because they’re incapable of letting go of the past or they simply want to keep the sound going out of love, … Continue reading Torturer – Die In Pain
