Mepharis – Eternal Night

June 15, 2021June 3, 2021 Vinterd

Taking into consideration the reputation that the world of death/doom as a whole has acquired for itself over the last few years, it’d be hard to raise that reputation any higher with all the massive entries that the style has … Continue reading Mepharis – Eternal Night

Oxygen Destroyer – Sinister Monstrosities Spawned By the Unfathomable Ignorance of Humankind

June 14, 2021June 3, 2021 Vinterd

Sometimes, the stars align in the most perfect way that you have no choice but to believe that it was truly meant to be. When I went and saw “Godzilla vs King Kong” opening weekend, half the time I could … Continue reading Oxygen Destroyer – Sinister Monstrosities Spawned By the Unfathomable Ignorance of Humankind

Diskord – Degenerations

June 13, 2021June 3, 2021 Vinterd

A band that’s able to bring forth a performance that’s as energetic as it is unpredictable, I feel like it’s safe to say that many of us could tell right off the bat that we’re in for a show like … Continue reading Diskord – Degenerations

Dimwind – Slow Wave Violence

June 12, 2021May 31, 2021 Vinterd

The vast majority of the time, it’s within the vast world of rock that instrumental acts tend to find a home in rather than in the world of metal. Something about rock is more appealing to instrumental acts out there, … Continue reading Dimwind – Slow Wave Violence

TarLung – Architect

June 11, 2021May 31, 2021 Vinterd

It’s the world of sludge that I don’t think that I can get enough of. Just the overall grit of everything that encapsulates the style is so much of what I love about my metal with how nasty it always … Continue reading TarLung – Architect

Desaster – Churches Without Saints

June 10, 2021May 29, 2021 Vinterd

It’s not terribly often that we find ourselves with a band that manages to bring forth virtually every aspect of extreme metal into one performance that still manages to feel fresh, cohesive, and utterly engaging. Having been around for a … Continue reading Desaster – Churches Without Saints

Necroschaos – Mortal Angels Descent

June 9, 2021May 29, 2021 Vinterd

The growth of a band going from a demo to a full-length album can just as easily feel like a massive leap as much as a small step forward for the progression of a band, and it was to see … Continue reading Necroschaos – Mortal Angels Descent

Doubtsower – Asphyxiation of a Seasick Soul

June 8, 2021May 29, 2021 Vinterd

Being able to come from a different musical background to cross genre lines to challenge yourself as a musician is something that I will always respect out of those who dare to attempt it, but, as you might expect, success … Continue reading Doubtsower – Asphyxiation of a Seasick Soul

Drawn and Quartered – Congregation Pestilence

June 7, 2021May 28, 2021 Vinterd

When we speak the words “death metal”, it tends to be that our brains go for the extreme in a style that’s already pushing music to an extreme simply by existing. Many modern acts have tried with varying degrees of … Continue reading Drawn and Quartered – Congregation Pestilence

Gnosis – Omens from the Dead Realm

June 6, 2021May 23, 2021 Vinterd

It’s more often in recent times that we’ve been seeing the worlds of black and death metal crossing each other over in order to create experiences that are as scathing as it is brutal in many different forms, but it … Continue reading Gnosis – Omens from the Dead Realm
