Anifernyen – Augur

August 6, 2019August 7, 2019 Vinterd

I love delving into the side of metal where quite literally anything goes as we get bands all over the place that can just as easily do away with any sort of sensible structure in their material to bring forth … Continue reading Anifernyen – Augur

Wraith – Absolute Power

August 2, 2019August 3, 2019 Vinterd

I cannot explain to you how much I love coming across little gems in the underground that are sadly almost certainly destined to be damned to near obscurity, but that makes discovering them all the sweeter and more special. Wraith … Continue reading Wraith – Absolute Power

Silence Thereafter – Hollow

July 31, 2019 Vinterd

The world of atmospheric black metal is a place that I’ve visited many times and it’s a place that has given me endless hours of entertain while never ceasing to promise even more to lose myself in. And yet, it … Continue reading Silence Thereafter – Hollow

Man Daitorgul – Gosk e’ Vidʒera

July 28, 2019July 29, 2019 Vinterd

A good solid slab of black metal is something whose power can rarely be denied and is the sort of thing that can grab my attention really easily. But, a little bit of flair goes a long way and being … Continue reading Man Daitorgul – Gosk e’ Vidʒera

Wormwood – Nattarvet

July 26, 2019 Vinterd

Before Finsterforst came out of seemingly nowhere and astounding me with their upcoming album, there was only one black/folk act that I had my eyes on that I knew was going to impress no matter what: Wormwood. They easily created … Continue reading Wormwood – Nattarvet

Haunter – Sacramental Death Qualia

July 22, 2019 Vinterd

There are some bands that just refuse to stay confined within reasonable boundaries of genrefication where normal people can pin down their sound and then approach it with some form of confidence in having an idea of what they’re about … Continue reading Haunter – Sacramental Death Qualia

Finsterforst – Zerfall

July 17, 2019July 18, 2019 Vinterd

It’s very often in many scenarios with metal that we like to throw around the word “epic” to describe something that’s awesome. It’s a word that fits every now and then, for sure, but it’s only on rare occasion do … Continue reading Finsterforst – Zerfall

Hope Drone – Void Lustre

July 14, 2019July 15, 2019 Vinterd

As I type these words I am currently drastically under the weather as something I caught at work has made a damned mess of my immune system. When I staggered over to my chair and went to go find something … Continue reading Hope Drone – Void Lustre

Toadeater – Codex

July 6, 2019July 7, 2019 Vinterd

If you ask me, a demo is rarely anything to go off of as it gives us the rawest and earliest sound a band could produce at the beginning of their existence. It’s not often at all that a demo … Continue reading Toadeater – Codex

Goatskullt – Kinahmia

July 4, 2019July 5, 2019 Vinterd

The world is a wide and large place with so many different people doing so many different things to bring something interesting into the world of metal music, and it’s the land of Scandinavia that we can always rely on … Continue reading Goatskullt – Kinahmia
