Aubzagl – Eilifa Kuldinn

June 24, 2019June 25, 2019 Vinterd

There have been many times that I sat down to listen to some quality atmospheric black metal and I get exactly what I think I will. But, it’s every now and then that I hear a record that changes the … Continue reading Aubzagl – Eilifa Kuldinn

Aeon Winds – Stormveiled

June 12, 2019 Vinterd

There are an insurmountable amount of black metal bands to sift through with the digital age bringing so many new acts that it’s almost stupid, and it’s very often that we see bands taking the road through the classic years … Continue reading Aeon Winds – Stormveiled

Trench Warfare – Hatred Prayer

June 9, 2019June 10, 2019 Vinterd

Vicious black and death metal is far from something that we could call even remotely uncommon as we see bands trying the style practically every other day, but, like most styles, only a few manage to show they know what … Continue reading Trench Warfare – Hatred Prayer

Misanthropic Rage – Towards the Greyscale Aphorysm

May 31, 2019June 1, 2019 Vinterd

To be even remotely original in such a fleshed out and arguably oversaturated scene is to achieve a special kind of greatness that I can’t help but appreciate top to bottom. It’s not often at all that we come across … Continue reading Misanthropic Rage – Towards the Greyscale Aphorysm

Dark Doom – The Journey

May 26, 2019May 27, 2019 Vinterd

There is always enjoyment to be had when there’s an act that comes along that can bring a heavy dose of emotion mixed with brilliantly measured heaviness while also managing to spread it all out across lengthy tracks that offer … Continue reading Dark Doom – The Journey

Orquìlux – The Sunset of My Last Breath

May 24, 2019May 25, 2019 Vinterd

There are very few styles across all of metal that are as varied as black metal, and even then, just the term of “atmospheric black metal” covers an immeasurably wide swathe of material as so many bands have morphed the … Continue reading Orquìlux – The Sunset of My Last Breath

Aeon Patronist – Mortal Prosternation

May 16, 2019May 17, 2019 Vinterd

There have been many albums that I’ve had the fortune of coming across that are simply light devouring in their nature as it’s those occasional albums that seek to envelop all of creation if given the chance, and it’s led … Continue reading Aeon Patronist – Mortal Prosternation

à Répit / Inféren / Malauriu / Vultur – Teschi Ossa Morte

May 9, 2019May 10, 2019 Vinterd

The occasional split can be a way for someone like me to get more than one band at a time, effectively doubling the rate of new acts that I’ve heard. Usually, splits are done between two bands who bring some … Continue reading à Répit / Inféren / Malauriu / Vultur – Teschi Ossa Morte

Plague Weaver – s/t

May 6, 2019May 7, 2019 Vinterd

There have been many times that the world of metal has tackled all sorts of themes considering religion from embracing it to denying it a place in the world. I, personally, am not one to get behind any religious message … Continue reading Plague Weaver – s/t

Epectase – Astres

May 4, 2019May 5, 2019 Vinterd

Being able to approach a style and keep its roots intact while you take the branches via twisting their forms in order to create something that is still that same style at its core but still, ultimately, something very different. … Continue reading Epectase – Astres
