Chasmdweller – Bacterial Lotus

October 9, 2020September 16, 2020 Vinterd

It’s barely been two months since I was just here talking about Chasmdweller, and I was just as puzzled then as I am now to find myself already talking about them again. Granted, their last offering was just a 2-track … Continue reading Chasmdweller – Bacterial Lotus

Isenmor – Shieldbrother

October 5, 2020October 5, 2020 Vinterd

Despite all the madness outside that has happened in 2020, the year has been extremely bountiful in virtually every style that I have an interest in from ambient drone, sludgy doom, psych-rock albums destined to become classics, gorgeous neofolk, and … Continue reading Isenmor – Shieldbrother

Sotz’ – Popol Vuh

October 3, 2020September 13, 2020 Vinterd

To see a band with any sort of gimmick is far from a rare thing to see nowadays with it feeling like one in every ten bands has a certain theme to their work. It comes in two forms that … Continue reading Sotz’ – Popol Vuh

Legendarium – Reign in Repose

October 2, 2020September 13, 2020 Vinterd

Time is a fickle thing in every sense, especially when we’re talking about bands going from one album to another. Normally, you’d expect that with more time comes more experience and, thus, any given act getting better over time, yet … Continue reading Legendarium – Reign in Repose

Montagne – Black Waterfall

September 29, 2020September 11, 2020 Vinterd

Aal – The Only Path

September 27, 2020September 10, 2020 Vinterd

Face Off – Machines

September 26, 2020September 5, 2020 Vinterd

To create an album that can only be described as ethereal is a feat all on its own. That really does feel like the goal for any band that falls into the realms of either post-rock or post-metal, and it’s … Continue reading Face Off – Machines
