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

Down Among the Dead Men – …And You Will Obey Me

April 14, 2018April 15, 2018 Vinterd

 As I’ve gone throughout the last few years doing these reviews, it’s become apparent that there are simply some musicians that just refuse to stay quiet for any amount of time as they’re always working on new material of some … Continue reading Down Among the Dead Men – …And You Will Obey Me

Lik – Carnage

April 13, 2018April 14, 2018 Vinterd

 Sometimes, it’s the simplest of styles that can bring a smile to your face. Death metal can be perfect even if you’re completely unoriginal and stick to a formula as it’s almost all in the execution. Bands have been pulling … Continue reading Lik – Carnage

Panopticon – The Scars of Man on the Once Nameless Wilderness

April 12, 2018 Vinterd

 I fucking love Bandcamp, I really do. Simply because whenever I go in there are always a few select bands that are constantly topping the site’s charts be it years after an album’s release or the day of or weeks … Continue reading Panopticon – The Scars of Man on the Once Nameless Wilderness

Taphos – Come Ethereal Somberness

April 11, 2018April 12, 2018 Vinterd

 Lately, I’ve had an itch for really crunchy, undeniably powerful death metal. That’s far from a rarity in the vastness that is the underground, but it was difficult to find a record that really satisfied that itch that was all … Continue reading Taphos – Come Ethereal Somberness

Adavant – The Unyielding

April 10, 2018April 11, 2018 Vinterd

 Everyone has a style that they truly enjoy but don’t visit very often because they don’t want to spoil themselves with it or get burnt out with its varying sounds. For me, that’s folk metal and I’ve always been very … Continue reading Adavant – The Unyielding

Keys of Orthanc – Dush agh Golnauk

April 9, 2018April 10, 2018 Vinterd

 It is no secret that the world of Tolkien’s creation has been a predominant presence in the world of black metal as countless bands have come together to celebrate the rich lore and tapestry that is Middle-Earth in the form … Continue reading Keys of Orthanc – Dush agh Golnauk

Huey – MA

April 8, 2018August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 I’ve always been greatly entranced by the realm of instrumental rock ever since I heard My Sleeping Karma’s “Moksha” a few years ago, and it’s simply because of how meditative it all is. Yes, it can pack one fucking hell … Continue reading Huey – MA

Skognatt – Ancient Wisdom

April 7, 2018April 8, 2018 Vinterd

 Bringing together two styles of any kind is one hell of a task no matter how you look at it. It’s very particular and one mishap can send the whole formula out the fucking window. Luckily, it doesn’t happen very … Continue reading Skognatt – Ancient Wisdom

Oxygen Destroyer – Bestial Manifestations of Malevolence and Death

April 6, 2018April 7, 2018 Vinterd

 Even though it’s never really been my forte, I’ve always had a strange attraction to classic Japanese monster movies. They have a charm about them and a cinematic significance to them that I just feel attracted to. I never once … Continue reading Oxygen Destroyer – Bestial Manifestations of Malevolence and Death

Grim Fate – Emerging From the Crypt

April 5, 2018 Vinterd

 There are very few things in the world of metal that can top the energy and destructive value of Finnish death metal given its many forms and how tempered it has become ever since its inception. And by extension, it … Continue reading Grim Fate – Emerging From the Crypt
