Favorite bands: Inter Arma, Manowar, Black Space Riders, Howls of Ebb, Greenleaf, Cannibal Corpse, Whispered

Tekarra – s/t

January 14, 2018January 15, 2018 Vinterd

 Easily, my favorite thing about doom metal is how drawn out it can all be and the different approaches that different bands take to make it last for songs as long as five to over twenty minutes. It’s a feat … Continue reading Tekarra – s/t

Kosmogyr – Eviternity

January 13, 2018January 14, 2018 Vinterd

 The tricky thing about black metal is how it’s been subject to so much experimentation in recent years that it’s hard to set yourself apart from the rest without relying too much on classic tropes and possibly fucking them up … Continue reading Kosmogyr – Eviternity

Visigoth – Conqueror’s Oath

January 12, 2018January 13, 2018 Vinterd

 Despite only being around for not even ten years, the band of Visigoth is already on track to becoming modern staples of heavy metal as they’ve left a sizeable impression on the underground with what few pieces they’ve put out … Continue reading Visigoth – Conqueror’s Oath

Mammoth Grinder – Cosmic Crypt

January 11, 2018January 11, 2018 Vinterd

 I’m all for a return if it’s a classy one. If you’re simply wanting to get a band back together for music then I don’t enjoy endorsing such a thing, but getting an itch to play a certain style again … Continue reading Mammoth Grinder – Cosmic Crypt

Esoctrilihum – Pandaemorthium (Forbidden Formulas To Awaken The Blind Sovereigns Of Nothingness)

January 10, 2018 Vinterd

 Last year, we were given a band that wasn’t bad by any means but still had plenty to prove. Esoctrilihum easily pleased with their debut album, but it left a lot to be desired. Given that it’s a one-man band … Continue reading Esoctrilihum – Pandaemorthium (Forbidden Formulas To Awaken The Blind Sovereigns Of Nothingness)

Et Moriemur – Epigrammata

January 9, 2018January 10, 2018 Vinterd

 The ancient Greeks have been a massive source of influence in the world for millennia in every single way that you could ever think of. Their unique sense of immortality is as strong as ever today, and it even permeates … Continue reading Et Moriemur – Epigrammata

Heidevolk – Vuur van Verzet

January 8, 2018 Vinterd

 Of all the bands that roam in the realm of folk metal, few are more prolific and renowned than Heidevolk who for well over a decade now has been at the top of the genre. They’ve been a force to … Continue reading Heidevolk – Vuur van Verzet

Enchantenka – 根河

January 7, 2018January 8, 2018 Vinterd

 Like many people, I’m absolutely enamored by the allure of ancient Chinese culture as it’s simply a larger than life style that has so many great things always happening from the architecture to the menagerie of legends. Metal has never … Continue reading Enchantenka – 根河

Beyond the Waves – Mystic Transmission

January 6, 2018August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 The idea of being able to kick back and simply fall into a piece of music is something that we can all relate to whether be simply because you feel a good connection to the music or because you feel … Continue reading Beyond the Waves – Mystic Transmission

Summoning – With Doom We Come

January 5, 2018 Vinterd

 Tolkien has long been a source of inspiration for many bands, and while plenty tried to embody his work way before Summoning came along the band easily had the most unique and impressive execution out of all bands before them. … Continue reading Summoning – With Doom We Come
