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

Ulcerate – Shrines of Paralysis

October 3, 2016October 3, 2016 Vinterd

 I want you to imagine any pure death metal band out there that comes to your head. Cannibal Corpse, Autopsy, Morbid Angel; take your pick! Once you’re done, I want you to bust out a permanent marker because you’re gonna … Continue reading Ulcerate – Shrines of Paralysis

Mohraang – Underworld of Khorrendus

October 2, 2016October 3, 2016 Vinterd

 Much like how I think the cold, harsh lands of places like Canada and Scandinavia are some of the perfect places for any type of metal given how unforgiving environments they can be. Lately, you just don’t see a lot … Continue reading Mohraang – Underworld of Khorrendus

Candiria – While They Were Sleeping

October 1, 2016November 16, 2016 Vinterd

 I want you to imagine a band that is the reason the term “genre-bending” is a thing. I’m sure we’ve all got at least one we can think of. Got it? Magnificent. Now, I want to you get ready to … Continue reading Candiria – While They Were Sleeping

HammerFall – Hammer High (single)

September 30, 2016 Vinterd

 If you were to ask me who the current kings of power metal would be I’d have to say HammerFall undoubtedly. Yes, there’s many other great bands of its kind in the world, but HammerFall has never ceased to disappoint. And … Continue reading HammerFall – Hammer High (single)

Chiral – Gazing Light Eternity

September 29, 2016 Vinterd

 I don’t know what it is, but there’s just something so goddamn alluring about one man bands. Maybe it’s seeing what one person can accomplish musically, or maybe it’s to see how a group of say three or four can … Continue reading Chiral – Gazing Light Eternity

Alter Bridge – The Last Hero

September 28, 2016 Vinterd

 As someone who is constantly in the metal community and sees all the diversity and extremes of differing opinions that go on with literally everything, I rarely see the community agree on something as a whole. And when it does … Continue reading Alter Bridge – The Last Hero

Brant Bjork – Tao of the Devil

September 27, 2016 Vinterd

 There’s almost nothing that can compare to a good ride in the car with the windows down, the sun setting beautifully in the distance, and the wind flowing magnificently. Nothing. Just a laid back, chilled the fuck out feel that … Continue reading Brant Bjork – Tao of the Devil

Gatecreeper – Sonoran Depravation

September 26, 2016 Vinterd

 I’m unfortunately part of a generation that came way after the closure of the old school of death metal, but that has not stopped me from searching out the ways of old, nor have the current times stopped bands from recreating … Continue reading Gatecreeper – Sonoran Depravation

Neurosis – Fires Within Fires

September 25, 2016 Vinterd

 I don’t know about you, but I’m always on the search for bands that have a unique flavor to them that only years of experience and pure brilliance can create. In that search, I came to find Neurosis had released … Continue reading Neurosis – Fires Within Fires

Ulcerate – Abrogation (single)

September 24, 2016September 25, 2016 Vinterd

 Sometimes you just gotta go back to the basics. It’s amongst the more simple things that can provide the most entertainment, and more often than not I find myself in such a situation with death metal. Most recently, it’s Ulcerate … Continue reading Ulcerate – Abrogation (single)
