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

Ursinne – Swim With the Leviathan

July 9, 2017July 10, 2017 Vinterd

 The fact that someone would be in several different bands, some being no less than landmark, and then continue to be active in the metal scene even after leaving more than a few bands is something that I’ve always admired … Continue reading Ursinne – Swim With the Leviathan

Expulsion – Nightmare Future

July 8, 2017July 9, 2017 Vinterd

 Typically, I’m not too big into grind as the vast majority of what I’ve heard is simply too extreme for my personal taste and just not for me. However, with the help of the bands Cattle Decapitation and Heathen Beast, … Continue reading Expulsion – Nightmare Future

Avelion – Illusion of Transparency

July 7, 2017July 8, 2017 Vinterd

 It dawned on me the other day that I don’t listen to very much metal that can be considered “commercially friendly”. By that, I mean stuff you’d hear on the radio or anything that’s basically not extreme metal. It was … Continue reading Avelion – Illusion of Transparency

Dzö-nga – The Sachem’s Tales

July 6, 2017 Vinterd

 Ever since I heard Inter Arma’s album “The Cavern”, I’ve silently been on the search for albums that become so much more and instead become experiences. There’s so much more enjoyment to be had when a record becomes an all … Continue reading Dzö-nga – The Sachem’s Tales

Integrity – Howling, For the Nightmare Shall Consume

July 5, 2017 Vinterd

 It’s very important to keep up with the originals in this day and age where it feels like any asshole with a will can just pick up a guitar and make an album. That’s how I feel anyway, and it’s … Continue reading Integrity – Howling, For the Nightmare Shall Consume

Lotus Ash – The Evening Redness

July 4, 2017August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 I’m not quite sure what it is about doom metal, but it’s always been a great vessel should you want a little bit of psychedelia in your musical diet. It doesn’t have to be a lot, or even intentional, it … Continue reading Lotus Ash – The Evening Redness

Execration – Return to the Void

July 3, 2017July 4, 2017 Vinterd

 The current state of death metal is far from being in a state of decline despite what many people would have you believe. There’s always a constant stream of brutally delicious albums that still bring the infamous punch of death … Continue reading Execration – Return to the Void

Veldes – The Bitterness Prophecy

July 2, 2017July 2, 2017 Vinterd

 Every one of us has got a selection of bands that we like to keep track off. Whether they be giants of the genre of metal or tiny, tiny bands who’ve only an EP to their name, everybody’s got some. … Continue reading Veldes – The Bitterness Prophecy

Switchboard Marion – The Wolf

July 1, 2017July 2, 2017 Vinterd

 Many people would have you believe that the breed of bands has died out in the new millennium. The breed of bands that simply start off in the garage as a jam session between friends and create the music that they … Continue reading Switchboard Marion – The Wolf

Paleons – Hyperborean

June 30, 2017August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 Ever since I could remember being into music, I’ve always been on the search for special albums that truly take the listener to a completely different place mentally. In recent years I’ve found that instrumental rock tends to take me … Continue reading Paleons – Hyperborean
