April 20, 2017April 21, 2017 Vinterd

 I’ve always been adamant in saying that talent comes from the places you least expect it. For many metalheads throughout the world, India isn’t exactly one of the first countries that come to people’s minds. For me, that’s always been … Continue reading Plague Throat – The Human Paradox

Mudbath – Brine Pool

April 18, 2017April 19, 2017 Vinterd

WOM – Psychedelic Noir

April 17, 2017April 18, 2017 Vinterd

 Never will I understand why some people will have even somewhat of a negative experience with a band and then never ever come back to the group. Sure, it all depends on taste, but I’ve always found close-mindedness like that … Continue reading WOM – Psychedelic Noir

Triumvir Foul – Spiritual Bloodshed

April 16, 2017April 17, 2017 Vinterd

 They say change is good, and a lot of times that rings true, but other times things are perfect just the way they are. Take death metal for example. Its core has remained relatively unchanged throughout the decades even though … Continue reading Triumvir Foul – Spiritual Bloodshed

Varg – Götterdämmerung

April 15, 2017April 16, 2017 Vinterd

Fates Warning – Awaken the Guardian Live

April 14, 2017 Vinterd

 Some bands and some albums are just too timeless and too monumental to forget. They don’t lose their luster over time and thus the band becomes legendary in their field. For progressive metal, Fates Warning is that band, and “Awaken … Continue reading Fates Warning – Awaken the Guardian Live

Saule – s/t

April 13, 2017April 14, 2017 Vinterd

 The whole idea of making a piece of material that’s so surreal and dissonant is the very dream of so many artists out in the world that it’s by no means a foreign subject. Plenty of bands have taken black metal … Continue reading Saule – s/t

Lo-Ruhamah – Anointing

April 12, 2017 Vinterd

 I typically don’t do name drops of specific labels, but today I simply have to straight mention the phenomenal label that is I, Voidhanger Records. They’ve put out real slices of darkness over the last few years that has stunned … Continue reading Lo-Ruhamah – Anointing
