Sacrilege – The Court of the Insane

October 3, 2019October 1, 2019 Vinterd

It’s often for me to consider the future of heavy metal as a style whenever I come across a new band that does nothing but justice for the style when it comes to their quality and performance. Bands like Visigoth … Continue reading Sacrilege – The Court of the Insane

Ram – The Throne Within

September 2, 2019 Vinterd

It’s been a real movement for us to understand who will come to carry the torch of heavy metal in the future. Not so much the entirety of metal but rather the style of heavy metal itself where we’re seeing … Continue reading Ram – The Throne Within

Howling Giant – The Space Between Worlds

August 27, 2019December 7, 2020 Vinterd

If you know anything of me, you know that there was an absolute shit ton of new material that I was looking forward to this year from bands that I’ve come to love since I started doing these reviews, and … Continue reading Howling Giant – The Space Between Worlds

Hippie Death Cult – 111

July 25, 2019December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Vulture – Ghastly Waves & Battered Graves

June 2, 2019June 3, 2019 Vinterd

It’s been long contested for years both by me and throngs of other people as to who will carry on the flame of the original sound of heavy metal that’s been around for decades when the legendary bands finally call … Continue reading Vulture – Ghastly Waves & Battered Graves

Salem’s Bend – Supercluster

May 19, 2019May 20, 2019 Vinterd

It’s honestly an odder sight to see a modern rock band not heavily influenced by the likes of Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Judas Priest than not to see it. Those sounds and classic vibes have become all but inseparable with … Continue reading Salem’s Bend – Supercluster

Tanith – In Another Time

May 15, 2019May 16, 2019 Vinterd

There has long been a sentiment for the “golden years” of rock and metal as that’s where we typically think of whenever we imagine the legendary albums that still come to define our tastes no matter how diverse, simplistic, or … Continue reading Tanith – In Another Time

Visigoth – Bells of Awakening

April 26, 2019April 27, 2019 Vinterd

There are some bands that can pass through the world of music on sheer badassery alone. It’s something we rarely see, but if done right there is nothing more infectious than a classic sounding heavy metal band that knows exactly … Continue reading Visigoth – Bells of Awakening

Obsidian Sea – Strangers

February 19, 2019December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Nowadays, it feels like the reverence of the era of classic doom is more potent than ever as we’ve gotten absolutely throngs of acts that have sought to recreate that sound as we’ve seen the styles of heavy psych, proto-doom, … Continue reading Obsidian Sea – Strangers
