Flesh of the Stars – Mercy

May 21, 2019 Vinterd

 I’ve been very fortunate enough to have done these reviews for quite some time and, easily, one of my favorite things about doing them is discovering a band that only a relative handful of other people know and then enjoying … Continue reading Flesh of the Stars – Mercy

Kha.wis – Life Oscillation

May 17, 2019May 18, 2019 Vinterd

It’s every now and then that we get the occasional album that becomes more of an experience than a mere collection of songs consisting of riffs and melodies. There’s real passion put into these exceptional works and it’s a real … Continue reading Kha.wis – Life Oscillation

Leechfeast – Village Creep

May 7, 2019May 8, 2019 Vinterd

It was somewhere in my very first days with doom metal that I heard an album that brought an atmospheric approach to doom metal the likes of which I hadn’t heard before, and it took many more months and a … Continue reading Leechfeast – Village Creep

Hex – God Has No Name

May 5, 2019May 6, 2019 Vinterd

It’s not uncommon by any means to see a band bring together the worlds of death and doom metal to create for us yet more examples of overwhelming heaviness that manages to come across as devilishly delicious and such. And … Continue reading Hex – God Has No Name

Lotek Cruiser – s/t

May 2, 2019 Vinterd

The world of doom metal to me is very much like the world of black metal in that the sheer diversity in sound is truly something to behold and get lost in. Classic acts like Crowbar and new phenomenons like … Continue reading Lotek Cruiser – s/t

Totengott – The Abyss

April 25, 2019 Vinterd

Every now and then with music, I follow my gut where normally I wouldn’t give a second thought. When I first heard Totengott a few years ago, I could not help but feel that this band that was so heavily … Continue reading Totengott – The Abyss

Tumanduumband – s/t

April 23, 2019April 24, 2019 Vinterd

A worn out but somehow timeless trope that doom metal has had at its core for decades now is the use of Satanic themes, and it’s the sort of thing that, depending on the band at hand, can feel immensely … Continue reading Tumanduumband – s/t

Zaum – Divination

April 21, 2019 Vinterd

A setting that’s always entranced me is the deep jungle. Full of life with plenty of secrets held within both made by man and nature Herself, there’s plenty to find. It’s not often by any means that I find myself … Continue reading Zaum – Divination

Stellar Master Elite – Hologram Temple

April 17, 2019April 18, 2019 Vinterd

More often than not, the combination of black and doom metal is enough to get me through just about any album of its kind that you throw before me. It’s a combination that usually works out really well for most … Continue reading Stellar Master Elite – Hologram Temple

Bright Curse – Time of the Healer

April 15, 2019December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Skimming the surface of many releases that end up quite popular on Bandcamp, I’ve come to recognize a pretty consistent trend that I must bright to light yet again: when done right, heavy psych can be the sort of thing … Continue reading Bright Curse – Time of the Healer
