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

Powerwolf – The Sacrament of Sin

July 23, 2018 Vinterd

 Despite my experience in the world of power metal being incredibly and horribly limited, Powerwolf has remained one of the few constants for me as this band has had my attention ever since I first heard them with their last … Continue reading Powerwolf – The Sacrament of Sin

Integrity / Krieg – Split

July 22, 2018July 23, 2018 Vinterd

 I’ve always been one that’s up for a good split. Whether it be two bands that have a similar sound that want to have a split together because why not or two bands that share a label with B-tracks from … Continue reading Integrity / Krieg – Split

Khôrada – Salt

July 21, 2018July 21, 2018 Vinterd

 Each of us has a band that everyone else seems to like, yet we never got into for one reason or another. It’s always a more popular band even if the act is still undoubtedly underground, and for me the … Continue reading Khôrada – Salt

Heads for the Dead – Serpent’s Curse

July 20, 2018 Vinterd

 There are many times that I go into a death metal record and end up just feeling so… bored. It’s something that I genuinely don’t enjoy given how much I love some good death metal, but every now and then … Continue reading Heads for the Dead – Serpent’s Curse

Promethean Misery – Tied Up With Strings

July 19, 2018July 14, 2018 Vinterd

 Typically, whenever I’m thinking about the real center of innovation in the world of metal, which in itself is the definition of innovation for music, I look towards the ever-growing expanse that black metal covers. Yet, today my gaze and … Continue reading Promethean Misery – Tied Up With Strings

Interview with Zaum

July 18, 2018July 11, 2018 Vinterd

Zaum has been a real phenomenon in the entirety of music for me ever since I discovered them two years ago with the release of their sophomore effort, “Eidolon”. The record went on to adorn many year-end lists, including my … Continue reading Interview with Zaum

P.H.O.B.O.S. – Phlogiston Catharsis

July 17, 2018October 11, 2025 Vinterd

 With acts like Godflesh, Drug Honkey, and even Eyehategod, there’s certainly no shortage of industrial metal acts that take the genre to aggressively psychedelic lengths that are both terrifying but amazing to behold. It’s never really been my cup of … Continue reading P.H.O.B.O.S. – Phlogiston Catharsis

Pragmatic Chaos – Ars Nova

July 16, 2018August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 Whenever I’m looking at some instrumental album or band, the chances are that the genre in question is rock. Particularly psychedelic rock given how well it translates without any vocals, but I’m always open to switching it up a bit. … Continue reading Pragmatic Chaos – Ars Nova

Winter’s Edge – The Guardians of Our Time Pt. 1

July 15, 2018July 15, 2018 Vinterd

 Much like folk metal, the incredibly bombastic world of power metal has been one that I’ve always skimmed the surface but almost never really dive into the style to see what all it has to offer. Sure, acts like HammerFall … Continue reading Winter’s Edge – The Guardians of Our Time Pt. 1

Knighthood – To the Road

July 14, 2018July 15, 2018 Vinterd

 Any sort of fantasy world has always left me no less than enamored by the larger-than-life events that are just the sort of thing that are true products of imagination. Folk metal has always been a great embodiment of that, … Continue reading Knighthood – To the Road
