Ysengrin – Initiatio

June 3, 2020May 20, 2020 Vinterd

To see any band decide to throw in the towel for any reason is a shame, and that goes double particularly for bands who have always delivered something worth listening to. Ysengrin more than qualifies as such with their releases … Continue reading Ysengrin – Initiatio

Khthoniik Cerviiks – Æequiizoiikum

May 30, 2020May 18, 2020 Vinterd

As still one of the most insane death metal bands that I’ve heard in years, Khthoniik Cerviiks stands far apart from the rest. It doesn’t take a genius whatsoever to see why, and I have been waiting patiently for years to … Continue reading Khthoniik Cerviiks – Æequiizoiikum

Atræ Bilis – Divinihility

May 25, 2020December 31, 2020 Vinterd

A band that tries something new is always something that will have my attention almost immediately every single time. It’s something that I’m constantly on the lookout for, and whenever it happens I rarely let it slip by because of … Continue reading Atræ Bilis – Divinihility

Fleshvessel – Bile of Man Reborn

May 21, 2020May 11, 2020 Vinterd

Experimentation is something that I’ve been extremely fond of for years now for one simple reason no matter if it’s good or bad: it always keeps you on your toes. Whether it’s just blending together styles to create a fresh sound … Continue reading Fleshvessel – Bile of Man Reborn

Thecodontion – Supercontinent

May 19, 2020May 9, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not really all that often that I find myself sitting here thinking about prehistoric-themed death metal talking about the various supercontinents that have come across the planet over hundreds of millions of years (or billions, the jury is still … Continue reading Thecodontion – Supercontinent

Sepulchral Curse – Only Ashes Remain

May 13, 2020May 13, 2020 Vinterd

Finnish death metal is something that will likely never get old. It’s just one of those sounds that work in so many different ways and can be changed into so many different forms if you just change hands from one … Continue reading Sepulchral Curse – Only Ashes Remain

Exaugurate – Chasm of Rapturous Delirium

May 7, 2020April 27, 2020 Vinterd

Discovering some filthy death metal that’s actually worth its own salt is always a fun thing to find no matter the occasion because some proper nasty death metal isn’t quite like anything else out there. It can just as easily … Continue reading Exaugurate – Chasm of Rapturous Delirium

Interview with Esoctrilihum | A Brief History of France’s Strangest Entity

May 6, 2020May 6, 2020 Vinterd

Of the many bands that I’ve come across in the over six years that I’ve been doing this, Esoctrilihum is undoubtedly one of my favorite finds. The incredibly mysterious French act has become a name to know in the underground … Continue reading Interview with Esoctrilihum | A Brief History of France’s Strangest Entity

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

Pistilos Opium – Híbrido

April 27, 2020April 17, 2020 Vinterd

It’s likely been at least ten times that I’ve said it now and I am still not getting tired of saying it: death/doom has been doing nothing but deliver the goods in every instance for me for over a year … Continue reading Pistilos Opium – Híbrido
