Abstracter – Cinereous Incarnate

April 18, 2018April 19, 2018 Vinterd

 There are simply some bands that refuse to stay quiet or even keep things the same for too long. I’ve come across countless bands that change their style over time as their debut album could be one style while later … Continue reading Abstracter – Cinereous Incarnate

Panopticon – The Scars of Man on the Once Nameless Wilderness

April 12, 2018 Vinterd

 I fucking love Bandcamp, I really do. Simply because whenever I go in there are always a few select bands that are constantly topping the site’s charts be it years after an album’s release or the day of or weeks … Continue reading Panopticon – The Scars of Man on the Once Nameless Wilderness

Keys of Orthanc – Dush agh Golnauk

April 9, 2018April 10, 2018 Vinterd

Ommadon – End Times

April 4, 2018August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 The beauty of doing these reviews is how I can listen to one album years ago that I completely forgot to revisit, and then suddenly see the same band put out a new album which then grasps my attention. It … Continue reading Ommadon – End Times

Mesarthim – The Density Parameter

April 3, 2018April 3, 2018 Vinterd

 For the last few years, Mesarthim has become one of the names to know if you’re any sort of fan of metal featured on Bandcamp as this act consistently tops the site’s charts every single time they put out any … Continue reading Mesarthim – The Density Parameter

Ols – Mszarna

March 27, 2018March 28, 2018 Vinterd

 Any neofolk album is a bold move in it of itself if you ask me. Many musicians dare to try and embody nature and bring it into a format that can properly convey the beauty, tenacity, and the violence of nature … Continue reading Ols – Mszarna

Abjection Ritual – Soul of Ruin, Body of Filth

March 20, 2018October 11, 2025 Vinterd

 Death metal is a style that I believe doesn’t get enough experimentation anymore as many bands go down a few, better-known paths that are appealing to listeners of an already pre-made group. Not often enough do we find bands that … Continue reading Abjection Ritual – Soul of Ruin, Body of Filth

Nòtt – s/t

March 11, 2018 Vinterd

 Throughout my time in doing these reviews I’ve noticed that black metal is incredibly over-saturated in that for every style there are literally thousands of bands that perform it. Atmospheric black metal is especially guilt of this as it’s easily … Continue reading Nòtt – s/t

Sojourner – The Shadowed Road

March 8, 2018 Vinterd

I was lucky enough to discover Sojourner very early on in their career. So early that I discovered them when they released their very first song almost three years ago. It’s been a true privilege to watch this international band go from … Continue reading Sojourner – The Shadowed Road

Hiemis – Nachtstücke

March 3, 2018March 4, 2018 Vinterd

 The brilliance behind the genres of ambiance and noise is the same kind of thing that music, in general, creates for different people as music as almost always been a realm to another world that can only be tapped into … Continue reading Hiemis – Nachtstücke
