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

Fetid Zombie – Remnants of Life

June 13, 2018June 12, 2018 Vinterd

 If there should ever be a list of modern bands that are keeping death metal in the thriving condition that it’s in, Fetid Zombie should undoubtedly be hailed as a massive driving force. This act and the man behind it … Continue reading Fetid Zombie – Remnants of Life

The Re-Stoned – Stores of the Astral Lizard

June 12, 2018December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 There’s a seemingly infinite number of subgenres in the worlds of both metal and rock, and while it’s impossible to hear it all that doesn’t stop us from finding unique flavors from small niches across the two genres that come … Continue reading The Re-Stoned – Stores of the Astral Lizard

Aseethe / Snow Burial – split

June 11, 2018June 12, 2018 Vinterd

 A big plus that has always been for me when it comes to sludge metal is simply how fucking filthy it can be at times. Sometimes we get a calculated chaos from the likes of Lord Dying, unique experiences from … Continue reading Aseethe / Snow Burial – split

ASG – Survive Sunrise

June 10, 2018 Vinterd

 Coming across some hard rock recently has left me high and dry more than anything, sadly. The style has never really stood out without the help of riffs coming into play in order to carry an album forward. I felt … Continue reading ASG – Survive Sunrise

Kuilu – Monumentti

June 9, 2018June 10, 2018 Vinterd

 It’s not hard to figure out that some of my favorite music comes from the realm of black and doom metal separately. Yet, I’ve never been ignorant of the fusing of the two together even though it’s something that I … Continue reading Kuilu – Monumentti

Coldbound – The Gale

June 8, 2018June 9, 2018 Vinterd

 The wide world of melodic death metal is one that I used to be much more into. With the likes of Amon Amarth, Despite, King of Asgard, and Countless Skies peppering my playlists, I knew it was only a matter … Continue reading Coldbound – The Gale

Vomitile – Pure Eternal Hate

June 7, 2018 Vinterd

 Coming back to a band years after not really listening to them at all is one of my absolute favorite things to do as a metalhead because I get to see how bands continue on with their sound or do … Continue reading Vomitile – Pure Eternal Hate

Vil Murra – Grandes Exitos

June 6, 2018 Vinterd

 There aren’t many cases of punk where I can really gravitate towards an album while agreeing with it completely and not feeling there’s more to be desired. More times than not, the punk molds with thrash to become a tasteful … Continue reading Vil Murra – Grandes Exitos

Progenie Terrestre Pura – starCross

June 5, 2018October 11, 2025 Vinterd

 Last year, the spacial entity known as Progenie Terrestre Pura took us on yet another trip across the cosmos. It was beautiful, intense, and an absolute joy to listen to that still permeates the album to this day. The band had … Continue reading Progenie Terrestre Pura – starCross

Mongrel’s Cross – Psalter of the Royal Dragon Court

June 4, 2018 Vinterd

 Thrash has always been a tricky style for me to get into because there isn’t a lot of variation with regular thrash, death-, and black-infused being the three I’ve really only been able to come across. It’s far from a … Continue reading Mongrel’s Cross – Psalter of the Royal Dragon Court
