Primordial – Exile Amongst the Ruins

March 13, 2018 Vinterd

 Twenty-seven years for anything is a feat whether it be living to be twenty-seven years old or holding a job for that long. It’s something that not many bands are able to accomplish, but luckily metal (and music in general for … Continue reading Primordial – Exile Amongst the Ruins

Nòtt – s/t

March 11, 2018 Vinterd

 Throughout my time in doing these reviews I’ve noticed that black metal is incredibly over-saturated in that for every style there are literally thousands of bands that perform it. Atmospheric black metal is especially guilt of this as it’s easily … Continue reading Nòtt – s/t

Sojourner – The Shadowed Road

March 8, 2018 Vinterd

I was lucky enough to discover Sojourner very early on in their career. So early that I discovered them when they released their very first song almost three years ago. It’s been a true privilege to watch this international band go from … Continue reading Sojourner – The Shadowed Road

Dwarrowdelf – The Sons of Fëanor

March 5, 2018 Vinterd

 Ever since I was a child, I’ve been absolutely enamored by the work of Tolkien and that love has only held true as all throughout my life I’ve loved Middle-Earth in all of its lore, endless characters, and epic tales. When … Continue reading Dwarrowdelf – The Sons of Fëanor

Ende – Goétie Funeste

February 27, 2018 Vinterd

 Typically, it can take a band anywhere between two to five or more years to create a new album due to touring, personal obligations, creative breaks, and anything in between. A band that is constantly dishing out new material back … Continue reading Ende – Goétie Funeste

Coldawn – …In the Dawn

February 25, 2018 Vinterd

 With many of us being in the depths of winter, sometimes it’s music that can really bring out the best of the season. It’s hard to find a metal album that accurately represents a season in general, but black metal … Continue reading Coldawn – …In the Dawn

Precaria / Deathspiral of Inherited Suffering / Dominus Ira – Metamorphosphoros

February 21, 2018February 22, 2018 Vinterd

 The appeal of a split is not lost on me in any capacity. It can bring together two great bands for a monumental listen the likes of which we only could’ve hoped to see live before that. Splits tend to … Continue reading Precaria / Deathspiral of Inherited Suffering / Dominus Ira – Metamorphosphoros

Nydvind – Tetramental I – Seas of Oblivion

February 16, 2018 Vinterd

 The mysterious fathoms of the sea is such that can inspire everything from the greatest sense of wonder to the most intense sense of curiosity to the more profoundly deep fear. But for many, it invoked a sense of adventure … Continue reading Nydvind – Tetramental I – Seas of Oblivion

Lowered – s/t

February 14, 2018February 15, 2018 Vinterd

 The realm of doom is a place that can vary from anything that’s little more than a hit of the ol’ bong to an incredibly dark, terrifying place that only the bravest or most foolish souls dare to venture. While … Continue reading Lowered – s/t

Inhibitions – La Danse Macabre

February 12, 2018 Vinterd

 Of all my time in the current ocean that is the modern underground scene of black metal, I rarely come across any symphonic acts. I’m not sure if it’s the lack of bands performing the style or I’m simply going … Continue reading Inhibitions – La Danse Macabre
