Riptides – s/t

March 23, 2023March 15, 2023 Vinterd

Dragoncorpse – The Drakketh Saga

January 29, 2023January 20, 2023 Vinterd

November 23, 2022November 23, 2022 Vinterd

Hoy Es Siempre Todavía – Amapolas

May 6, 2022May 3, 2022 Vinterd

Far too often is it that the world of hardcore is given a hard time, in my opinion. I will never quite understand it since the style has always existed in this off middle-ground between rock and metal where it … Continue reading Hoy Es Siempre Todavía – Amapolas

Bednja – Ponosni U Smrti

December 6, 2021November 20, 2021 Vinterd

The Delirium Effect – Eternal

December 5, 2021November 25, 2021 Vinterd
