Tombs – All Empires Fall

April 1, 2016 Vinterd

 I’ve been looking forward to this album ever since the first single was released from it and it showed a fuck ton of promise for this band that before today I had no special love for. But now that I’ve … Continue reading Tombs – All Empires Fall

Witte Wieven – Silhouettes of an Imprisoned Mind

March 28, 2016 Vinterd

 The thing that can be said about every single genre of music out there, not just metal, is that there is always a fuck ton of it that will fly past everyone. Possibly awesome albums pass us each and every … Continue reading Witte Wieven – Silhouettes of an Imprisoned Mind

Mesarthim – Pillars

March 25, 2016March 25, 2016 Vinterd

 I remember hearing a whole bunch of hype about Mesarthim’s last album, “Isolate”, from some of my friends who frequently checked Bandcamp for all those “dank beats”. And I checked out “Isolate” and was sadly unimpressed despite all the appraisal … Continue reading Mesarthim – Pillars

March 18, 2016November 16, 2016 Vinterd

 I remember hearing the first single off of this album and having my mind absolutely blown at the unique style of what North had created. Now that the full album is out, we can all take in what “Light the … Continue reading North – Light the Way

Gray Souvenirs – Serena

March 14, 2016 Vinterd

 When it comes down to atmospheric black metal, it’s hard to find a good mix between atmosphere and the actual black metal where the end result is pretty good. Gray Souvenirs definitely aren’t the first band to try the mix … Continue reading Gray Souvenirs – Serena

Wolvserpent – Aporia:Kāla:Ananta

February 28, 2016 Vinterd

 So far in 2016, there has been a severe lack of ambitious albums among the metal kingdom that has come to my attention. Scarce few bands have truly thought to put out an album that is simply transcending and stunning … Continue reading Wolvserpent – Aporia:Kāla:Ananta

Hemelbestormer – Aether

February 19, 2016August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 There’s this rare oddity among metal known as atmospheric doom metal, and for me the only band that fits that description is Secrets of the Sky. Now that they’re no longer together, I’ve been meaning to find another band that … Continue reading Hemelbestormer – Aether

North – Earthmind (single)

February 6, 2016November 16, 2016 Vinterd

 I’ve always been a fan of genres that employ some sort of atmosphere because they just bring so much more character and texture to the music that even without the atmosphere is still fucking excellent. The two most common genres … Continue reading North – Earthmind (single)

Ghost Horizon – Astral Possession

January 12, 2016 Vinterd

 I appreciate many things in this world: pizza, heating, plumbing, cola, and other stuff. One other stuffs is when bands create tiny little albums that still manage to show how truly wonderful said band is. Today’s band in question is … Continue reading Ghost Horizon – Astral Possession
