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

WOM – From Abyss, Thy Wrath

Mork – Den Vandrende Skygge

March 16, 2016 Vinterd

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

Tombs – Deceiver (single)

March 5, 2016 Vinterd

 I remember hearing the last Tombs album and not being quite pleased with it, but now that I’ve given myself time to develop tastes for different genres I felt it was very appropriate that I check out their new material. … Continue reading Tombs – Deceiver (single)
