Ysengrin / Sartegos – Resvrrezionespiritval

October 27, 2016 Vinterd

 Very rarely do people just a band’s potential quality based the record label they’re signed to simply because it just wouldn’t work the vast majority of the time. But if I want some straight nasty and darker than hell metal … Continue reading Ysengrin / Sartegos – Resvrrezionespiritval

Downfall of Gaia – Atrophy

October 25, 2016 Vinterd

 Art comes in many forms, and an artist can come in varying levels in terms of how important an artist think his/her own work is as a whole. Some like to think their work is the only work that there … Continue reading Downfall of Gaia – Atrophy

Cwealm – Odes to the Hereafter

October 20, 2016 Vinterd

 I’m not typically one for stereotypes as I find most of them pretentious and vastly unnecessary, but I, of course, am only human. For the longest time, I’ve assumed 100% of bands to come out of Gothenburg where of the melo-death … Continue reading Cwealm – Odes to the Hereafter

Itnuveth – Enchantments

October 17, 2016October 17, 2016 Vinterd

 Everyone who delves as far into the world of metal as I do has at least a couple of bands that hardly anyone anywhere has heard of, but every time that band puts out an album you find yourself investigating … Continue reading Itnuveth – Enchantments

CrystalMoors – The Mountain Will Forgive Us

October 14, 2016 Vinterd

 Every band has its own thing whether it be a specific style or certain sound that not many others have, that’s pretty obvious. What’s even clearer is how some bands stick out much more than others. One style that always … Continue reading CrystalMoors – The Mountain Will Forgive Us

Sepulchral Curse – At the Onset of Extinction

October 6, 2016October 7, 2016 Vinterd

 There are a few countries out there in the world that if I wanted to do a world tour of the best places to see metal at its finest, I’d go to quite a few places. Sweden, India, Greece, and … Continue reading Sepulchral Curse – At the Onset of Extinction

Mesarthim – .- -​.​.​. .​.​. . -. -​.​-​. .

October 4, 2016 Vinterd

 When it comes down to who literally dominates the metal scene of Bandcamp, there are quite a few names to be had. But with black metal, there are a few mammoths that constantly get the spotlight with every release: Saor, … Continue reading Mesarthim – .- -​.​.​. .​.​. . -. -​.​-​. .

Chiral – Gazing Light Eternity

September 29, 2016 Vinterd

 I don’t know what it is, but there’s just something so goddamn alluring about one man bands. Maybe it’s seeing what one person can accomplish musically, or maybe it’s to see how a group of say three or four can … Continue reading Chiral – Gazing Light Eternity

Rudra – Enemy of Duality

September 18, 2016 Vinterd

 The only limit that a band can truly have is their imagination. You can use an instrument or a perform a style however you please, but it’s the imagination used to create the content that tends to make or break … Continue reading Rudra – Enemy of Duality

Oldd Wvrms – Ignobilis

September 8, 2016September 8, 2016 Vinterd

 Delving into the world of the weird and abnormal can go plenty of different ways, and it’s either going to end in you being freaked out or wanting more. I hadn’t heard anything remotely weird for a while, but along … Continue reading Oldd Wvrms – Ignobilis
