The Spacelords – Unknown Species

November 8, 2021October 24, 2021 Vinterd

There are more than enough founts of instrumental psychedelic glory out there for us to sift through should we decide to lose ourselves in realms beyond our imagination and to leave this mundane plane of existence behind us for something … Continue reading The Spacelords – Unknown Species

Blackfold – Solarus

November 6, 2021October 23, 2021 Vinterd

When an ambitious band comes around that dares to try something we don’t see every day, it immediately catches my eye more often than not. That’s especially true for me when the material in question is a single track spanning … Continue reading Blackfold – Solarus

Monobrow – A Decorative Piece of Time

October 26, 2021October 13, 2021 Vinterd

Of all the styles that are primed to take an instrumental turn and proceed to dominate much of the competition, doom is easily one that I’d want to see get the treatment of such more often than not. The style … Continue reading Monobrow – A Decorative Piece of Time

Mountain Caller – Chronicle: Prologue

October 1, 2021September 15, 2021 Vinterd

In my humble opinion, there isn’t nearly enough instrumental metal out there. It absolutely confounds me why that’s the case for if we were to look at instrumental rock we would see a sprawling soundscape that touches on every corner … Continue reading Mountain Caller – Chronicle: Prologue

Owl Cave – Broken Speech

September 24, 2021September 13, 2021 Vinterd

It’s from the insanely diverse realm of black metal that I will never cease to become enthralled whenever I see the word “experimental” tacked on, for it’s then that I can know for a fact that I’m in for something … Continue reading Owl Cave – Broken Speech

Ranges – Cardinal Winds

September 18, 2021September 7, 2021 Vinterd

To really be able to fall back into any given work is to truly become one with the record at hand, and that’s a unique feeling that cannot be compared to anything else in all of music. It’s in the … Continue reading Ranges – Cardinal Winds

Nahtram – Forest of Eternal Dawn

September 16, 2021September 1, 2021 Vinterd

Have you ever listened to a new sound and realized how much you didn’t know you needed it? Of course, you have! Everyone has experienced it and in the current state that we find metal in, many people think that … Continue reading Nahtram – Forest of Eternal Dawn

Ola Englund – Starzinger

August 2, 2021July 20, 2021 Vinterd

When we take into consideration all the prolific musicians that have graced our ears in recent years, there is a definitive list that crosses many of our minds when it comes to names that are downright essential in one way … Continue reading Ola Englund – Starzinger

The Nightly Disease – Delicate White Sound

July 3, 2021June 20, 2021 Vinterd

The whole concept of instrumental black metal is one that I find criminally underused in the modern soundscape despite how much innovation the style is constantly bringing forth as a whole. There have been extremely few names that have dared … Continue reading The Nightly Disease – Delicate White Sound

Atomic Vulture – Moving Through Silence

June 16, 2021June 3, 2021 Vinterd

When I find myself venturing back into the world of instrumental rock at least once every month (I have a problem, send help), it tends to be from the world of psychedelia that the material stems from. A change would … Continue reading Atomic Vulture – Moving Through Silence
