February 18, 2017February 19, 2017 Vinterd

 Some things in the world are just fine the way they are and don’t require any sort of altering. Simply because they’re perfect the way they are. Death metal is one of them. The core sound of the genre has … Continue reading Antropomorphia – Sermon ov Wrath

Insonus – Nemo Optavit Vivere

February 17, 2017 Vinterd

 Black metal has always been one of my go-to places for whenever I want something that’s either intense in every single way, or calm with refined chaos sewn through it. However, I’ve never really been into DSBM as, even though … Continue reading Insonus – Nemo Optavit Vivere

Armored Saint – Carpe Noctum (Live)

February 16, 2017March 14, 2017 Vinterd

 I’ve always absolutely adored live albums and what they’ve offered for millions of fans who are like me. By like me I mean don’t have a lot of money and can’t make it to shows. So we depend on live … Continue reading Armored Saint – Carpe Noctum (Live)

Ur – Stories Between Death and Being Born Again

February 15, 2017 Vinterd

 The short description of this band on Bandcamp begins with a simple phrase: “random dude from Germany”. I like that a lot. Not the fact that the guy’s from Germany as it doesn’t matter to me where he’s from, but … Continue reading Ur – Stories Between Death and Being Born Again

Manetheren – The End

February 13, 2017February 13, 2017 Vinterd

 The idea of a concept album is not an easy one, albeit something that many people find to be very interesting when put into the proper hands. However, like music in general, it’s not very often it’s actually put into … Continue reading Manetheren – The End

Ex Deo – The Immortal Wars

February 12, 2017February 12, 2017 Vinterd

 It’s so easy for a band to take something as well known as the Roman Empire and turn it into some form of music. It’s been a huge inspiration to musicians for centuries and still continues to this very day. … Continue reading Ex Deo – The Immortal Wars

Ancient Tundra – All Light Has Since Escaped Me

February 11, 2017February 12, 2017 Vinterd

 A typical band has about three to five members in it. Sounds about right, doesn’t it? Well, if you’re any sort of familiar with black metal then you know it’s absolutely riddled with one man bands. Ancient Tundra is one … Continue reading Ancient Tundra – All Light Has Since Escaped Me

Flesh of the Stars – Anhilla

February 10, 2017 Vinterd

 After going through all the shit of daily life and finally coming home, all I want is something to wind down to. People like me need something that reflects our mood and helps bring the day to a close peacefully. … Continue reading Flesh of the Stars – Anhilla
