Towards Atlantis Lights – When the Ashes Devoured the Sun

June 5, 2021May 23, 2021 Vinterd

When their debut came out just three years ago, Towards Atlantis Lights really made one hell of a show in the world of funeral doom with everything that they brought forth being the new and fresh addition to the shadowy … Continue reading Towards Atlantis Lights – When the Ashes Devoured the Sun

Aureole – Alunarian Bellmaw

June 4, 2021May 22, 2021 Vinterd

A five-year silence from any band is enough to get the fans thinking if there is to be any follow-up coming in the future, especially when the social media presence for the act becomes minimal at best. Granted, the man … Continue reading Aureole – Alunarian Bellmaw

Red Fang – Arrows

June 3, 2021May 29, 2021 Vinterd

For quite some time now, it’s been safe to say that Red Fang has been one of the pillars for stoners in the world of all things heavy in music with their riffs and attitude being downright consistent with the … Continue reading Red Fang – Arrows

Odyrmos – For The Brightest Light

June 2, 2021May 21, 2021 Vinterd

When we consider the relatively unearthed realm of dungeon synth to the public at large, I think many of us knew somewhere in our heads that it was inevitable before we saw throngs of other black metal acts seek to … Continue reading Odyrmos – For The Brightest Light

Fetid Zombie – Transmutations

May 30, 2021May 20, 2021 Vinterd

Of all the names throughout the land of American death metal, Fetid Zombie has absolutely become a required listen for any true connoisseur of what the country can offer the scene with the name rightfully rising in status over the … Continue reading Fetid Zombie – Transmutations

Inferno – Paradeigma (Phosphenes of Aphotic Eternity)

May 29, 2021May 20, 2021 Vinterd

Things always get interesting when we get albums that start the blur the lines of categorization. I don’t mean the bands that are openly poking fun at how ridiculous it has gotten in recent years, but, rather, the bands that … Continue reading Inferno – Paradeigma (Phosphenes of Aphotic Eternity)

θoʊθ – Ruins of Gubla

May 28, 2021May 20, 2021 Vinterd

The raw heaviness factor is something that the world of death/doom can sometimes be too affiliated with since there is so much more to that style that can be done to gorgeous effect, but when the right band comes around … Continue reading θoʊθ – Ruins of Gubla

Panopticon – …And Again Into The Light

May 26, 2021May 15, 2021 Vinterd

The name that always leaps out to me when we take into consideration the massive wave of atmospheric black metal in the last number of years has always been Panopticon. At every turn, the name has become synonymous with many … Continue reading Panopticon – …And Again Into The Light

Oryx – Lamenting A Dead World

May 25, 2021May 15, 2021 Vinterd

A band coming into their own is a situation that always must be celebrated if you ask me. There are very few things more satisfying with music than when you stick with the band and they slowly, or quickly sometimes, … Continue reading Oryx – Lamenting A Dead World

Odraza – Acedia

May 24, 2021May 15, 2021 Vinterd

It’s not terribly often that we find ourselves categorizing the many forms of black metal as “artistic expressions”. We tend to associate the style with simpler ideals like catharsis, internal suffering, religious blasphemy, or anything else with a flair of … Continue reading Odraza – Acedia
