January 30, 2017January 31, 2017 Vinterd

 I’m the kind of guy that’s a fan of both brute force approach and the more laid back and methodic way of laying down metal. A few styles of metal come to my mind when I think of both of … Continue reading Revelations of Rain – Akrasia

Eldamar / Dreams of Nature – split

January 28, 2017January 29, 2017 Vinterd

Demonic Resurrection – Dashavatar

January 27, 2017January 27, 2017 Vinterd

 The music genre of metal has always been a great educator with the topics of history and mythology being very evident with bands like Sabaton making it work phenomenally well. Though, at this point, when its comes to the mythos … Continue reading Demonic Resurrection – Dashavatar

Howling Giant – Black Hole Space Wizard: Part 1

January 26, 2017December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 We all need to be taken to a place. That place varies for every and every single person. One of the very few trains to this place is music, but it’s gotta be the right train otherwise, you might be … Continue reading Howling Giant – Black Hole Space Wizard: Part 1

Scáth Na Déithe – Pledge Nothing But Flesh

January 25, 2017 Vinterd

 In my time doing these reviews, I’m lucky enough to have heard metal from all sorts of unlikely nations like Iran and India. As an American who’s unfortunately never left my country’s borders, it’s nice to see what the metal … Continue reading Scáth Na Déithe – Pledge Nothing But Flesh

Panikk – Discarded Existence

January 24, 2017January 24, 2017 Vinterd

Illimitable Dolor – s/t

January 23, 2017January 23, 2017 Vinterd

 Alright, we’re going to have a bit of a sit down here, kids. Now, as well all know, metal has this reputation for being just a little bit slightly angry and murderous, and that’s not wrong. But we know that … Continue reading Illimitable Dolor – s/t
