Ashen Horde – The Alchemist

February 27, 2017February 28, 2017 Vinterd

 If you ask me how I feel about the idea of B-side tracks, I’d say it’s a very unfortunate thing albeit necessary. I’ve always found it best when band’s make it known that they’ve always something we’ve never heard. Some … Continue reading Ashen Horde – The Alchemist

Naudiz – Wulfasa Kunja

February 21, 2017February 22, 2017 Vinterd

 It’s not hard for a small group of guys to come together and decide to make black metal. It’s one thing to make an album that absolutely kicks ass, one to create a record that won’t get the band any … Continue reading Naudiz – Wulfasa Kunja

Insonus – Nemo Optavit Vivere

February 17, 2017 Vinterd

 Black metal has always been one of my go-to places for whenever I want something that’s either intense in every single way, or calm with refined chaos sewn through it. However, I’ve never really been into DSBM as, even though … Continue reading Insonus – Nemo Optavit Vivere
