Aeon Winds – Stormveiled

June 12, 2019 Vinterd

There are an insurmountable amount of black metal bands to sift through with the digital age bringing so many new acts that it’s almost stupid, and it’s very often that we see bands taking the road through the classic years … Continue reading Aeon Winds – Stormveiled

Eighth Tower Records – Drone Islands – Land Raising

June 4, 2019June 5, 2019 Vinterd

There’s a specific art where the very line between music and sound is constantly blurred or just flat out doesn’t exist depending on who you ask.

Neraterræ – The Substance of Perception

May 22, 2019May 23, 2019 Vinterd

Swan Messiah – Call of the Burning One

April 27, 2019April 28, 2019 Vinterd

There have been many times that I’ve sat down to listen to a record and expected to hear a certain sound either because I was told so or merely gut feeling. When I delved into the latest album of Swan … Continue reading Swan Messiah – Call of the Burning One

Cloudwaters – s/t

April 12, 2019April 8, 2019 Vinterd

There have been many times that I’ve sat down to listen to ambient music or material (whatever you wanna fucking call it) that I’ve sat down and expected to simply be taken. No rhythms – just pure sound that’s a … Continue reading Cloudwaters – s/t
