Sorcier Des Glaces – s/t

September 15, 2018 Vinterd

 Out of all the bands that adorn the atmospheric black metal fields on Bandcamp, a name that comes up often is Sorcier Des Glaces and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t familiar with them. It’s been a real … Continue reading Sorcier Des Glaces – s/t

Daagh – s/t

September 10, 2018 Vinterd

 A word that I’ve always loved giving to black metal is “cold” as it’s incredibly descriptive, specific, and can mean so much for just black metal. But it’s been such a long time since I’ve been able to call any … Continue reading Daagh – s/t

Esoctrilihum – Inhüma

September 6, 2018 Vinterd

 One of the grand pleasures that I’ve found with these reviews is being able to find many bands that have taken me on unforgettable journeys across metal in too many ways to count. Some of them vary from grand acts … Continue reading Esoctrilihum – Inhüma

Soul Dissolution – Nowhere

September 4, 2018 Vinterd

 There are always albums that I see circulating on Bandcamp that I see getting a lot of attention and praise to which I tell myself I’ll get around to listening to it but never do for any number of reasons. … Continue reading Soul Dissolution – Nowhere

Toadeater – Demo

August 30, 2018 Vinterd

 The vast majority of the time, I stay away from demos. It’s simply because I’d much rather hear the sound that the band is trying to make in its finished product after going through post-production. I can appreciate the raw … Continue reading Toadeater – Demo

Lifelost – Dialogues From Beyond

August 26, 2018August 27, 2018 Vinterd

 The concept of wanting to try out different styles for whatever reason you may have is something that I can really get behind. It’s nice to change things up and see what else you can do because you simply want … Continue reading Lifelost – Dialogues From Beyond

Dalkhu – Lamentation and Ardent Fire

August 22, 2018August 22, 2018 Vinterd

 I absolutely love coming back around to bands that I came across years ago but virtually forgot all about for one reason or another. With the amount of music I listen to and with my taste really shifting and becoming … Continue reading Dalkhu – Lamentation and Ardent Fire

Imperialist – Cipher

August 16, 2018August 19, 2018 Vinterd

Nowadays whenever we look at space and black metal coming together, the majority of the time it’s being embodied by some atmospheric or cosmic black metal act like Mesarthim. But what if we simply explored the vacuum without getting too … Continue reading Imperialist – Cipher

Blood of Serpents – Sulphur Sovereign

August 3, 2018August 4, 2018 Vinterd

 The world is black metal has more bands now than it ever has. But we all know that quantity doesn’t always mean quality especially for those of us that feel slightly bored of the lo-fi attempts at recreating the old … Continue reading Blood of Serpents – Sulphur Sovereign

Wraith – Heed the Warning

August 1, 2018 Vinterd

 Recently, I’ve been on a small stint of checking into the world of thrash and crossover thrash where there have been plenty of acts that have flown under my radar until recently coming into my sight. Coming back to Wraith, … Continue reading Wraith – Heed the Warning
