Ligation – After Gods

January 1, 2026January 1, 2026 Vinterd

After being entrenched in the underground for over a decade, I still cannot believe how malleable and twisting the world of metal can be. As long as you find yourself before a band that has the right kind of daring, … Continue reading Ligation – After Gods

Phasma – Purgatory

December 29, 2025December 28, 2025 Vinterd

Many times over the decades have we seen loads of different interpretations of what metal music can still become. Even as we find ourselves in an era where experimentation and outside-of-the-box thinking feel more rampant than ever before, there are … Continue reading Phasma – Purgatory

Burning Palace – Dark Matter

December 26, 2025December 26, 2025 Vinterd

Voraciousness in death metal is far from a new invention much less anything that we can expect to see leave the style any time soon. It’s long been a core pillar of what the style has long been about, yet … Continue reading Burning Palace – Dark Matter

Hypoxic End – s/t

December 24, 2025December 14, 2025 Vinterd

The festering floor of the underground is something that will never cease to amaze me. For every established name, there’s at least two others that thrive in the dark obscurity that the underground has to offer on its most base … Continue reading Hypoxic End – s/t

Hermit Dreams – Desperate Anomies

December 22, 2025December 13, 2025 Vinterd

Even with all that death metal can still be in its more related and relatively accessible forms, there is just nothing that can compare to when we find ourselves before an entity that defies expectations and takes you to the … Continue reading Hermit Dreams – Desperate Anomies

Fossilization – Advent of Wounds

December 20, 2025December 13, 2025 Vinterd

A band’s progression and evolution are oftentimes the driving force of what keeps bands interesting in the first place. It’s all well and good to offer an impressive display of power in one form or another, but it’s another achievement … Continue reading Fossilization – Advent of Wounds

Mors Verum – Canvas

December 10, 2025December 6, 2025 Vinterd

By this point, it ought to go without saying that death metal has become quite amorphous. Depending on who’s crafting it, the style can take on an entirely different form as there are many schools of thought and approaches at … Continue reading Mors Verum – Canvas

Sun of the Dying – A Throne of Ashes

December 8, 2025December 6, 2025 Vinterd

While it tends to be the more outwardly violent emotions that get the spotlight as far as metal is often concerned, it’s when the emotions are turned inward that I find metal to take on some of its most potent … Continue reading Sun of the Dying – A Throne of Ashes

1914 – Viribus Unitis

December 6, 2025December 6, 2025 Vinterd

It would be an understatement to say that war and related tragedies are a topic that metal likes to touch upon on a pretty regular basis. We’ve seen throngs of bands of all genres tap into those themes, plenty of … Continue reading 1914 – Viribus Unitis
