Eaters of the Soil – Inedia I

July 20, 2022July 18, 2022 Vinterd

Trigona – s/t

June 29, 2022June 20, 2022 Vinterd

Jagannatha – Trimurti

May 9, 2022May 4, 2022 Vinterd

Instrumental, drawn-out, and unbelievably heavy doom metal with a good dosage of sludge is the sort of metal that I live for nowadays. There’s nothing quite like falling back into a piece of ultimate heaviness and coming out on the … Continue reading Jagannatha – Trimurti

Drone Hunter – In Gear

May 7, 2022May 3, 2022 Vinterd
