Warcoe – Upon Tall Thrones

August 19, 2025August 16, 2025 Vinterd

The continuation of any old school sound is something that can be quite tricky to pull off for any number of reasons. It can be difficult for a band to find a balance between making their mark their beloved style … Continue reading Warcoe – Upon Tall Thrones

Blackbraid – Blackbraid III

August 18, 2025August 15, 2025 Vinterd

We could sit here all day and all night arguing the semantics of the strict definitions of what a specific genre should and what it brings to the table, and I feel quite confident that we wouldn’t really make much … Continue reading Blackbraid – Blackbraid III

Perishing – Malicious Acropolis Unveiled

August 17, 2025August 10, 2025 Vinterd

The threat of an oncoming darkness is something that has permeated many corners of the underground for as long as many of us can remember. We’ve been blessed over the years with throngs of acts that are able to come … Continue reading Perishing – Malicious Acropolis Unveiled

Eskapism – Skresnava

August 15, 2025August 15, 2025 Vinterd

I think it’s safe to say that it would be a vicious understatement to claim that the world of atmospheric black metal has long been intertwined with the many different spirits of nature and all that they have to offer. … Continue reading Eskapism – Skresnava

Slomatics – Atomicult

August 14, 2025August 10, 2025 Vinterd

We could sit here all day and argue the bands that “don’t need an introduction” for one reason or another when it comes to those within the vast landscapes of all that modern doom metal has to offer. From those … Continue reading Slomatics – Atomicult

Clairvoyance – Chasm of Immurement

August 13, 2025August 2, 2025 Vinterd

It would be a tragic understatement for anyone to say that death metal has long had a fruitful partnership with all that doom metal has to offer in return. Easily, the pairing has resulted in some of the most captivating … Continue reading Clairvoyance – Chasm of Immurement

Hasard – Abgnose

August 12, 2025August 2, 2025 Vinterd

 There are some entities out there in the vastness of the underground that simply cannot be kept in one spot for too long. Whether it’s because of their ambition, talent, vision, creativity, or some combination of them all, there are … Continue reading Hasard – Abgnose

Gloombound – Dreaming Delusion

August 11, 2025August 2, 2025 Vinterd

We could sit here all day and talk about all that the sprawling realms of death-doom bring to the table with its heaviness, raw melancholies, and overwhelming intensity that permeates virtually every creation of the sound to such a degree … Continue reading Gloombound – Dreaming Delusion

Nexion – Sundrung

August 10, 2025August 9, 2025 Vinterd

I like to talk a lot about evolution a lot here as I feel like it’s the driving force that separates the bands that are kind of just doing their own thing from the artists that are seeking something more … Continue reading Nexion – Sundrung

Undersave – Merged in Abstract Perdition

August 9, 2025August 9, 2025 Vinterd

There’s almost a perpetual darkness that genres like death metal call their own that many are content to become lost within for all that’s to be uncovered throughout the writhing darkness, yet it’s not always that we’re able to come … Continue reading Undersave – Merged in Abstract Perdition
