Time Walk – Beyond Eternity’s Grasp

May 26, 2017May 27, 2017 Vinterd

Loss – Horizonless

May 22, 2017May 22, 2017 Vinterd

 Every single person has a specific style of music that they enjoy, but for whatever reason have never truly investigated. For me, it’s funeral doom. I’ve always been amazed at how something with such a slow tempo, crushing sound, and menacing … Continue reading Loss – Horizonless

May 21, 2017May 22, 2017 Vinterd
