reviews for albums that I consider metal

Farer – Monad

December 10, 2020November 23, 2020 Vinterd

The implementation of noise into metal is, more often than not as far as I’ve noticed, something that tends to be left to the realms of black metal with the harsh sounds molding well together for a potent set of … Continue reading Farer – Monad

Bestial Warfare – Desecrating Goat Assault

December 9, 2020November 22, 2020 Vinterd

It’s oftentimes that we can find the best works are the ones that don’t do anything new for the most part with black and death metal being a constant union that’s been awesome to behold for a long time now, … Continue reading Bestial Warfare – Desecrating Goat Assault

Atmospheric, Black, Instrumental, MetalLeave a comment

Nebula Orionis – Aether

December 7, 2020November 19, 2020 Vinterd

It’s hard to think of an area where the seemingly endless expanse of atmospheric black metal could end by any means with it feeling like every other band has been doing their best to push the boundaries of the style … Continue reading Nebula Orionis – Aether

Death, MetalLeave a comment

Korpsesoturi – Korpskrist

December 5, 2020November 18, 2020 Vinterd

The progression of any band as they rise through the hierarchy of any scene is always something fun to watch, and that tends to go doubly so when it comes to extreme metal. When I first came across Korpsesoturi on … Continue reading Korpsesoturi – Korpskrist

Saarkoth – Cult of Nature

December 4, 2020November 17, 2020 Vinterd

To see an album of this style find itself wrapped in nature is far from something that should be considered new by any and all accounts. It’s a trend in the world of black metal that some are surely getting … Continue reading Saarkoth – Cult of Nature

Revulsion – s/t

December 3, 2020November 17, 2020 Vinterd

A worthwhile debut isn’t quite like anything else where the scene as a whole has not previous expectations whatsoever about whatever the band may be of any style even if the band’s members are all well known. It’s the closest … Continue reading Revulsion – s/t

Doom, Metal, SludgeLeave a comment

Tomorr – s/t

December 2, 2020November 17, 2020 Vinterd

The glory of doom is something that truly doesn’t have any bounds, does it? It’s one of the most diverse styles in all of metal with it holding an essential place amongst other contemporary styles that we also find ourselves … Continue reading Tomorr – s/t

Phalanx Inferno – The Age of Anti-Aquarius

December 1, 2020November 16, 2020 Vinterd

The metal community at large is something that will never be lacking when it comes to acts that are blasphemous for one reason or another whether or not that is a reflection of the band members or simply seeking a … Continue reading Phalanx Inferno – The Age of Anti-Aquarius

Trup – KE

November 30, 2020November 25, 2020 Vinterd

It’s hard to think about how any band could make the combination of death and black metal more chaotic in all of its glorious madness without making it tumbling down very swiftly. The addition of noise is something that many … Continue reading Trup – KE

Doom, Metal, ProgressiveLeave a comment

Dvne – Omega Severer

November 29, 2020November 25, 2020 Vinterd

When it came to bands that came out with a breakout debut album in 2017, you cannot take another breath without mentioning Dvne. The Scottish act truly took over Bandcamp with “Asheran” by all accounts with everything they did being … Continue reading Dvne – Omega Severer
