Alukta – Merok

May 12, 2025May 7, 2025 Vinterd

Valdrin – Apex Violator

May 10, 2025May 6, 2025 Vinterd

Fortunate is the soul who can identify talent before it becomes something that commands respect and more than earns the right to be a need-to-know name. The underground is constantly littered with names that have real substance to offer in … Continue reading Valdrin – Apex Violator

The Great Sea – Noble Art of Desolation

May 8, 2025April 25, 2025 Vinterd

Eleventh Ray – Reviving Tehom

May 4, 2025April 24, 2025 Vinterd

There’s always been a dark element to what black metal has been since the beginning. The two have become synonymous with each other for good reason, and it’s still well into today that we are able to bear witness to … Continue reading Eleventh Ray – Reviving Tehom

Pyromancer – Absolute Dominion by Fire

May 2, 2025April 20, 2025 Vinterd

Truly, there is no school like the old school. There’s always been a desire from the metal community to maintain and preserve the classic styles for what they accomplished, yet, as you might imagine, it’s not always the case that … Continue reading Pyromancer – Absolute Dominion by Fire

Onirik – Curling Serpents Under Stone

April 30, 2025April 20, 2025 Vinterd

There are some things that just make sense. When a band has been around for long enough and accomplished enough within its own scope over whatever amount of time, it’s only natural that some sort of branching out would take … Continue reading Onirik – Curling Serpents Under Stone

Sammale – Ikiharmaja

April 24, 2025April 11, 2025 Vinterd

Black metal truly is a special place. Where many would normally expect to see different musicians in many different acts like what much of the rest of the genre witnesses on a very regular basis, black metal is one of … Continue reading Sammale – Ikiharmaja

Lightless – A Foreseen Loss

April 22, 2025April 26, 2025 Vinterd

It would be an understatement to say that the weight of the world has long been getting heavier on our shoulders as time marches forward unapologetically. The cruel momentum of time lets up for no person no matter how strong … Continue reading Lightless – A Foreseen Loss
