Chasmdweller – Altar of Bizarre Cruelty

August 8, 2020July 24, 2020 Vinterd

Elmsfire – Wings of Reckoning

August 7, 2020July 23, 2020 Vinterd

There’s a true cheesy wonder to be had when the worlds of power metal and heavy metal are brought together for some hijinks that can just as easily be incredibly serious as immensely ridiculous. It’s not terribly often anymore that … Continue reading Elmsfire – Wings of Reckoning

Ulthar – Providence

August 6, 2020July 19, 2020 Vinterd

The depths of Bandcamp are so incredibly fruitful that there will always be a great number of high-quality releases that will always fly right over my head for one reason or another. While it’s Tomb Mold that I feel I … Continue reading Ulthar – Providence

Sky Pig – Hell Is Inside You

August 4, 2020July 19, 2020 Vinterd

There is nothing quite like some quality sludge in the world of metal. Few styles are able to so uniquely heavy and all-encompassing when it comes to a wide variety of sounds while consistently bringing quality on a high level. … Continue reading Sky Pig – Hell Is Inside You

Havukruunu – Uinuos Syömein Sota

August 3, 2020July 18, 2020 Vinterd

Sarcoptes – Plague Hymns

August 2, 2020July 19, 2020 Vinterd

A nice little EP is sometimes all someone needs in order to get their proper dosage of a band that they really enjoy, or at least wanted to hear more of. A new full-length is almost always preferable especially to … Continue reading Sarcoptes – Plague Hymns

Spell – Opulent Decay

July 31, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

The return of proto-metal in recent years has been something that many people have gladly jumped onto whether or not you think even half of the bands that populate the style pull it off, and I’m certainly one of the … Continue reading Spell – Opulent Decay

Irhagar – Sutra

July 30, 2020July 16, 2020 Vinterd

Have you ever come across an album that you feel probably won’t amount to much? Maybe something surprising? I have that feeling a lot more than I’m willing to admit, unfortunately. But, more often than I’m also willing to admit, … Continue reading Irhagar – Sutra

Damned to Downfall – Born to Breed

July 28, 2020July 16, 2020 Vinterd

A death metal EP that ultimately doesn’t do anything new and is constantly trying to quick and concise in just about every instance really feels to be a dime a dozen in today’s climate, and that’s because there’s just so … Continue reading Damned to Downfall – Born to Breed
