Brontosaurus – Excavation

June 25, 2020June 9, 2020 Vinterd

Drone is absolutely something that I need more of in my life. Whether it comes in the form of ambiance or metal it doesn’t matter since both have come bountiful forms like HLER and Mizmor, respectively. But, what would happen … Continue reading Brontosaurus – Excavation

Fargue – Phosphène

May 11, 2020May 2, 2020 Vinterd

A lot of styles out there really know how to grab my attention by doing something different or just sounding interesting, but anything related to drone has long been something that I’ve always had a solid interest in. It’s only … Continue reading Fargue – Phosphène

Etrange – s/t

April 17, 2020April 10, 2020 Vinterd

Usually, whenever I want visuals of something crazy in space with insane colors and a general out-of-this-world vibe, it’s somewhere in the realm of psych-rock that I find myself looking. On rare occasions, though, it’s elsewhere that delivers such goods. … Continue reading Etrange – s/t

Kanaan – Double Sun

April 12, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Over the years, one of my absolute favorite styles to dive into whenever I want something that almost never fails me is the realm of instrumental psychedelic rock. It’s always a mouthful to say, but it always elicits a specific … Continue reading Kanaan – Double Sun

Oratory – IV

February 22, 2020February 21, 2020 Vinterd

Whenever we think of anything related to black metal, we tend to think of something extreme with an icy edge to it all that could drain the very light out of the universe if it so desired, and something along … Continue reading Oratory – IV

Dragunov – Arkhipov

February 19, 2020February 8, 2020 Vinterd

The very concept of instrumental metal is one that’s about as original as instrumental rock, but it’s quite more difficult to pull off more so than it’s rock counterpart simply because while heaviness on its own is something that can … Continue reading Dragunov – Arkhipov

Zayn – You

February 16, 2020February 8, 2020 Vinterd

The real beauty of instrumental rock to me comes from the fact that you can really do almost whatever it is you want stylistically and it’ll sound at the very least decent. You can easily shift from something riff-heavy to … Continue reading Zayn – You

Electric Moon – Mind Explosion

January 29, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

It wasn’t really until a few years ago with my favorite album to date from The Re-Stoned, “Stories of the Astral Lizard”, that I discovered just how good long-winded instrumental psych-rock can get, and it’s been such a treat to … Continue reading Electric Moon – Mind Explosion

Praÿ – s/t

January 2, 2020December 31, 2019 Vinterd

It’s been since the last release from Elder that I was curious when the next piece of exciting instrumental rock of any sort would cross my path, and, thankfully, it didn’t take long. Psychedelia tends to work all too well … Continue reading Praÿ – s/t
