Scarcity – Aveilut

December 28, 2022December 23, 2022 Vinterd

Frozen Dawn – The Decline of the Enlightened Gods

December 10, 2022December 7, 2022 Vinterd

While the realm of black metal is undeniably vast, certain pockets of the style still find themselves surprisingly lacking in some form or another for no particular reason, I don’t think, other than pure happenstance.

Inherits the Void – The Impending Fall of the Stars

December 5, 2022December 5, 2022 Vinterd
