Precipices – La Pénombre de L’agir

September 24, 2017September 25, 2017 Vinterd

Grief & Bliss – Endeavor

September 16, 2017September 17, 2017 Vinterd

Myrkur – Mareridt

September 8, 2017 Vinterd

 Ever since the inception of Myrkur’s eponymous debut years ago, this woman had my attention and interest. Despite all the stuff surrounding her and her work, I personally couldn’t give two shits about it, and I’m thankful for that because … Continue reading Myrkur – Mareridt

September 4, 2017September 5, 2017 Vinterd

 The old school of black metal is one that has diminished over the decades, and I can’t tell you how many bands there are out there that try and fail to replicate the classic sound. The only band to do … Continue reading Isenblåst – Screams in Cold Silence
