The Album Leaf – Between Waves

August 24, 2016 Vinterd

 Ever get that sudden urge to listen to something fresh, new, and different from what you’re used to? I’ve been having such a crave recently, and I’ve had to really branch out to find more interesting material. Allow me to … Continue reading The Album Leaf – Between Waves

Sabaton – The Last Stand

August 23, 2016 Vinterd

 Explosions! Gun fire! Things! Stuff! Even more things! That’s all the stuff can be found on just about any Sabaton album ever since their first. They’ve made a distinct name for themselves with their theme of war and fantastic power … Continue reading Sabaton – The Last Stand

The Human Condition – Pathways

August 22, 2016 Vinterd

 The magnificent, magically brutal thing known as doom metal can always take different twists and turns just as all metal can, and much like all metal the doom variant has its own special awesomeness about it that just . . … Continue reading The Human Condition – Pathways

Nil Miserans – s/t

August 21, 2016August 22, 2016 Vinterd

 It’s probably debuts that are my favorite kinds of albums because it shows what’s going on inside the brains of the involved musician(s) who wrote it who don’t have to worry about repeating themselves or letting down fans because they’re … Continue reading Nil Miserans – s/t

Show Me a Dinosaur – s/t

August 20, 2016 Vinterd

 You know those albums that cover both ends of the spectrum when it comes to what kind of energy (peaceful and brutal as fuck)? They always seem to have a certain level of elegance about them even in the more … Continue reading Show Me a Dinosaur – s/t

Metallica – Hardwired (single)

August 19, 2016 Vinterd

 It’s hard for any band that’s even close to the caliber that is Metallica because every single time the band in mention releases new material, everyone always compares it to older material. It’s insanely annoying for some of us, but it’s the … Continue reading Metallica – Hardwired (single)

Ade – Carthago Delenda Est

August 18, 2016 Vinterd

 Now, if you’re a somewhat keen eyed person you would’ve noticed in the little category area thing I’m classifying this as death and folk metal. If you’re not familiar with Ade you’d probably be going “well that sounds like a … Continue reading Ade – Carthago Delenda Est

Delain – Moonbathers

August 17, 2016November 16, 2016 Vinterd

 Whenever a new symphonic metal band comes across my radar I’m always a little hesitant because the style has always been a legitimate toss up in every sense for me. So even though I’d never listen to the veterans of … Continue reading Delain – Moonbathers

Monkey3 – Astra Symmetry

August 16, 2016December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 There’s many a style that I listen to casually on a daily basis dealing from anywhere between death metal to some good ol’ classic rock. But the most chill vibes I’ve ever gotten had to have come from psychedelic rock, … Continue reading Monkey3 – Astra Symmetry

XII Boar – Beyond the Valley of the Triclops

August 15, 2016November 16, 2016 Vinterd

 Ever hear a band that isn’t trying to be super different or fancy, but instead just sounds so fucking good that it seems everyone everywhere can for once universally agree that the band in question is the shit? If you … Continue reading XII Boar – Beyond the Valley of the Triclops
