Monument of Misanthropy – Unterweger

September 12, 2021August 31, 2021 Vinterd

Too often do I find myself drifting into the realm of brutal death metal and find myself actively enjoying what is put before me, making it one of the very few styles of metal that admittedly I still find myself … Continue reading Monument of Misanthropy – Unterweger

Profane Desecration – Abysmal Stillness

September 10, 2021August 31, 2021 Vinterd

A debut that manages to send chills down the spine is, without doubt, one of the best things any of us could stumble across in the vast underground. It’s always a momentous occasion to find brand new talent of any … Continue reading Profane Desecration – Abysmal Stillness

Mofsed – Noesis

September 8, 2021August 29, 2021 Vinterd

To swim through the vast and practically endless ocean of all that death metal can be in its current form is to lose yourself in a style that can effortlessly swallow you whole before you even have time to realize … Continue reading Mofsed – Noesis

Heads for the Dead – Slash’n’Roll

September 6, 2021August 29, 2021 Vinterd

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

Bizarre – Invocation Codex

August 29, 2021August 17, 2021 Vinterd

The influence of Lovecraft cannot be understated. Bar select performances out of the dark realms of ambient and noise, metal is perhaps on the best styles that can really encapsulate the madness and overwhelming density of Lovecraftian lore with all … Continue reading Bizarre – Invocation Codex

Pillars of Cacophony – Parerga

August 27, 2021August 17, 2021 Vinterd

A debut is always hard to deliver on any sort of capacity with the slate being seductively clean which allows you to do whatever you want, but it can easily be the determining point for listeners if they feel they … Continue reading Pillars of Cacophony – Parerga

Prey For Nothing – Kivshan

August 23, 2021August 10, 2021 Vinterd

If you ask me, metal coming out of the Middle East has some of the most interesting bands that we can listen to in today’s vast underground from names like Al-Namrood, Azooma, and Akvan just being three names that come … Continue reading Prey For Nothing – Kivshan

Dagtum – Revered Decadence

August 19, 2021August 9, 2021 Vinterd

A crushing, uncompromising heaviness is something that virtually every single death metal band strives for in some form or another, but it’s difficult to execute it with the right kind of power to actually do it all justice. It’s not … Continue reading Dagtum – Revered Decadence

Laceration – Demise

August 17, 2021August 4, 2021 Vinterd

To talk even a moment about old school death metal, I can’t help but feel that it’s in the best shape that it’s been in for quite some time. The sheer diversity in acts from all across the world that … Continue reading Laceration – Demise
