Whitechapel – Kin

October 21, 2021October 14, 2021 Vinterd

At this point in their exemplary run, Whitechapel really shouldn’t need any introduction. Since the beginning, they’ve been priming themselves as one of the quintessential bands of deathcore in many people’s eyes with every album having something new and interesting … Continue reading Whitechapel – Kin

Bleeding Malice – Thy Kingdom Come

September 2, 2021August 25, 2021 Vinterd

Far too often when I venture into the world of deathcore, I find a disappointing amount of imagination and, oddly enough, power. Power means absolutely nothing if you don’t have the skill to back it up with the consequence being … Continue reading Bleeding Malice – Thy Kingdom Come

Times of Grace – Songs of Loss and Separation

August 20, 2021August 9, 2021 Vinterd

For as long as I’ve been into metal, there have always been key acts that I always find myself coming back to in some form or another whether it be diving further into the styles those original influences came from … Continue reading Times of Grace – Songs of Loss and Separation

Wisent – Seething

November 9, 2020October 20, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not very often that I find myself ensnared in whatever the world of hardcore throws my way whenever it decides to do so, and it’s surprisingly often that I find myself really into whatever I’m hearing when the occasion … Continue reading Wisent – Seething

Zmey Gorynich – Devilish Dances

September 8, 2020August 21, 2020 Vinterd

Every so often, I get the absolute luxury of receiving an album that cannot be considered as anything other than a damn good fun time. Metal is a style that’s more than befitting of serious content made for serious listeners, … Continue reading Zmey Gorynich – Devilish Dances

Wazmo – Insight

July 13, 2020June 28, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not terribly often that I find myself listening to metalcore nowadays and much less the vast majority of djent that the world has to offer, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything from across the scene that has no … Continue reading Wazmo – Insight

Tiberius – A Peaceful Annihilation

June 20, 2020June 7, 2020 Vinterd

It can easily seem like many of the different styles of metal are constantly copying themselves without much variation in the sound despite the obvious contrary, but very few seem guilty of that more than that of metalcore. The unjustly … Continue reading Tiberius – A Peaceful Annihilation

Death Whore – s/t

May 2, 2020April 24, 2020 Vinterd

Just imagining death metal and hardcore coming together sounds like something that should be much more widespread I feel. It’s a fusion with virtually unending potential given both styles can gel so easily with each other if done properly, but … Continue reading Death Whore – s/t

Hated – None Are Equal

March 14, 2020March 6, 2020 Vinterd

Going into the world of deathcore is always a bit of a coin toss if you ask me. There are so many acts out there that just aren’t trying whatsoever that crowd around bands that actually do something that can … Continue reading Hated – None Are Equal

Sewer Dwellers – Fate of a Maggot

December 25, 2019December 22, 2019 Vinterd

 Reaching into the world of anything related to metalcore or deathcore is the sort of thing that I simply don’t do enough and it’s simply because there isn’t a lot that reaches out to me from the style as it … Continue reading Sewer Dwellers – Fate of a Maggot
