Hell – Submersus

June 1, 2025May 27, 2025 Vinterd

It must be something in the air, but I was not prepared for what 2025 had in store for us in ways of quality doom that does more than merely tap into its blackened reaches that offer nothing short of … Continue reading Hell – Submersus

Maniard – Fragments of Time

May 26, 2025May 25, 2025 Vinterd

There’s a good reason why “slow and steady wins the race” is oftentimes a saying that rings true even in today’s world. It’s always tempting to see what a band can throw down in relatively quick fashion, but excellence cannot … Continue reading Maniard – Fragments of Time

Loathfinder – Broken Branches and Torn Roots

May 23, 2025May 20, 2025 Vinterd

I don’t know about you, but I find myself pleasantly surprised by what the realm of black-doom has been putting forth lately. We’re far from any sort of renaissance for the style but given how scant and sparce the sound … Continue reading Loathfinder – Broken Branches and Torn Roots

Alukta – Merok

May 12, 2025May 7, 2025 Vinterd

While we find ourselves in an underground that always seems welcome to tread much of the same territory continuously with as many pleasant experiences as there are lackluster ones, there is always room for a creation that really goes against … Continue reading Alukta – Merok

Tetramorphe Impure – The Sunset of Being

May 9, 2025May 8, 2025 Vinterd

From the darkest reaches of what the underground can still become, anything is possible. Sights and experiences untold are but inches away should a band simply seize the opportunity and make something for themselves. It’s a difficult thing to ascertain … Continue reading Tetramorphe Impure – The Sunset of Being

Cadaver Shrine – Into the Horrible Depths

May 7, 2025April 26, 2025 Vinterd

The sheer opportunity that any band faces in the vastness of the underground in simply overwhelming. For all that has been and can still be done, there’s undoubtedly loads to be accomplished so long as the right band comes along … Continue reading Cadaver Shrine – Into the Horrible Depths

Aawks – On Through the Sky Maze

May 1, 2025April 20, 2025 Vinterd

In a scene that’s constantly moving forward, it’s only natural for new names to appear here and there as time goes on. The pursuit for greatness and the seeking for excellence that can scantly be found elsewhere even in the … Continue reading Aawks – On Through the Sky Maze

Weeping Sores – The Convalescence Agonies

April 29, 2025April 19, 2025 Vinterd

Long has metal music had a reputation for tackling themes of personal torment whether it’s in the succumbing to our own inner demons or finding yourself rising above such adversity that could only be categorized as life changing. The crafting … Continue reading Weeping Sores – The Convalescence Agonies
