Chaoshorde – Hordes Arising

July 29, 2018 Vinterd

 For whatever reason, I always think of thrash metal in Greece before any other country in the world. Acts like Suicidal Angels and Biotoxic Warfare truly grasped my attention for the scene there, and for years everytime I turn to … Continue reading Chaoshorde – Hordes Arising

The Nightly Disease – Smell of Burning Wood

July 28, 2018August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 There’s a certain sense of wonder that is found in almost all instrumental rock and metal albums given how the two styles rely on vocals just as much as the instruments. But styles like doom metal or psychedelic rock are … Continue reading The Nightly Disease – Smell of Burning Wood

Cosmic Autumn – s/t

July 26, 2018 Vinterd

 The constant search for quality atmospheric black metal can become quite tiresome at times with the oversaturation of the style being an absolutely monumental task to take on. Simply sifting through the records to find something you can enjoy is … Continue reading Cosmic Autumn – s/t

Integrity / Krieg – Split

July 22, 2018July 23, 2018 Vinterd

 I’ve always been one that’s up for a good split. Whether it be two bands that have a similar sound that want to have a split together because why not or two bands that share a label with B-tracks from … Continue reading Integrity / Krieg – Split

P.H.O.B.O.S. – Phlogiston Catharsis

July 17, 2018October 11, 2025 Vinterd

 With acts like Godflesh, Drug Honkey, and even Eyehategod, there’s certainly no shortage of industrial metal acts that take the genre to aggressively psychedelic lengths that are both terrifying but amazing to behold. It’s never really been my cup of … Continue reading P.H.O.B.O.S. – Phlogiston Catharsis

Mesarthim – Coma Wall

July 12, 2018July 13, 2018 Vinterd

 There are very few things as satisfying in the world of music as much as consistency. No, I don’t mean consistency in terms of sound even though it can be very nice if done correctly. In this instance, I’m referring … Continue reading Mesarthim – Coma Wall

Ignis – Sic Transit Gloria Mundi

July 10, 2018 Vinterd

 If you were to just glimpse at the black metal scene on Bandcamp for even a second, you’ll see that it’s the atmospheric variety that dominates an absolute fuck ton of the greater presence of black metal. It’s an interesting … Continue reading Ignis – Sic Transit Gloria Mundi

Itnuveth – Pagan Martyrs

July 8, 2018July 9, 2018 Vinterd

 Anyone who knows me knows that I follow Itnuveth incredibly close as they’re one of those bands that I just can’t get enough of. For over five years, they have been dishing out one marvelous example of pagan metal after … Continue reading Itnuveth – Pagan Martyrs

UADA – Cult of a Dying Sun

July 7, 2018 Vinterd

 It’s not very often that a band can put out a second album and already be one of the new names to know of the scene. UADA definitely made one fucking hell of an impact with their debut album, but … Continue reading UADA – Cult of a Dying Sun

Son ov Leviathan – Vi Veri Vniversum Vivus Vici

July 4, 2018 Vinterd

 There’s no shortage of Luciferian themes in the world of black metal, but I feel it’s not often enough that a band can take that concept and then proceed to actually make it sound great. Sure, you could sit there … Continue reading Son ov Leviathan – Vi Veri Vniversum Vivus Vici
