Spliffripper – s/t

March 6, 2021February 16, 2021 Vinterd

By all accounts, some albums just shouldn’t work as well as they do. It is both hilarious and puzzling at the same time to me that there can be a whole culture in doom related to anything related to weed … Continue reading Spliffripper – s/t

Vokonis – Odyssey

March 3, 2021February 15, 2021 Vinterd

When it comes to bands that have helped transform the modern doom landscape in the digital age with the aid of grand havens like Bandcamp, Vokonis is a name that absolutely should be mentioned. Their impact cannot be understated with … Continue reading Vokonis – Odyssey

Rise to the Sky – Let Men Drown With You

March 2, 2021February 15, 2021 Vinterd

An emotional core is far from a new concept when we take any form of doom metal into consideration, but there are few styles that are able to even hold a torch to the powerhouse of soul-touching heaviness that the … Continue reading Rise to the Sky – Let Men Drown With You

Shattered Hope – Vespers

February 23, 2021February 24, 2021 Vinterd

Of all the many different smaller styles that exist within the wider-known styles at large, it’s the dark and still largely unexplored territory that is funeral doom metal that catches my eye in many of its forms, and it’s as … Continue reading Shattered Hope – Vespers

Acid Mammoth – Caravan

February 17, 2021February 5, 2021 Vinterd

If you were to look into the many rising acts that grace the world of doom, you would come across that certainly stand out and I truly do believe you can’t talk about young up-and-coming acts in doom without mentioning … Continue reading Acid Mammoth – Caravan

Kråkslott – The Witchhammer

February 14, 2021January 31, 2021 Vinterd

It’s every now and then that we can receive a body of work that perfectly encapsulates so much of what the modern state of the given style is capable of, and even that can take on many different forms. That … Continue reading Kråkslott – The Witchhammer

Cortége – Chasing Daylight

February 10, 2021February 6, 2021 Vinterd

It’s not terribly often by any standards that we can come across an album, instrumental or not, and feel like it can actually be the soundtrack to a film. Whether it’s the entire body of music for a short film, … Continue reading Cortége – Chasing Daylight

Cryptic Brood / Night Hag – Swollen With Rancid Phlegm

February 3, 2021January 21, 2021 Vinterd

  My relationship with the exceedingly dark realm of death/doom has only been getting exponentially better over the last few years with a glorious streak presenting itself to me month after month much to my delight.

Burial Clouds – Last Days of a Dying World

February 1, 2021January 21, 2021 Vinterd

The simple act of standing in an empty field and watching the sky darken as dusk slowly folds over into night isn’t much to go off of when from an emotional front, or so it would seem at the surface. … Continue reading Burial Clouds – Last Days of a Dying World

Soothsayer – Echoes of the Earth

January 25, 2021January 9, 2021 Vinterd

With the amount of time that many musicians had to prepare new material in the past year given the recent events, it’s truly hard for me to think of a list of any sorts when it comes to bands that … Continue reading Soothsayer – Echoes of the Earth
