Divine Weep – The Omega Man

June 23, 2020June 9, 2020 Vinterd

Heavy metal tends to be one of those styles that can easily be a real coin toss when it comes to the overall quality of whatever material you find yourself listening to. It feels like it could just as easily … Continue reading Divine Weep – The Omega Man

Jupiterian – Protosapien

June 22, 2020 Vinterd

While there are many people that tend to think about thrash whenever they think of Brazil, there are plenty of other bands that need mentioning whenever you want to talk about Brazilian metal. And you can’t talk about anything else … Continue reading Jupiterian – Protosapien

Wraith / Bastardizer – Speed Armageddon

June 22, 2020June 17, 2020 Vinterd

Have you ever heard a split before and felt that the two bands in question where a perfect match in every way, shape, and form to the point where they should always fucking be on tour together? It simply doesn’t … Continue reading Wraith / Bastardizer – Speed Armageddon

Slaying of Death – Spiritual Orphans

June 21, 2020June 9, 2020 Vinterd

Most of the time that I encounter melodic death metal, it tends to be in the form of something really heavy but still incredibly accessible like what we’ve been getting from Amon Amarth lately but in varying degrees of heaviness … Continue reading Slaying of Death – Spiritual Orphans

Tiberius – A Peaceful Annihilation

June 20, 2020June 7, 2020 Vinterd

It can easily seem like many of the different styles of metal are constantly copying themselves without much variation in the sound despite the obvious contrary, but very few seem guilty of that more than that of metalcore. The unjustly … Continue reading Tiberius – A Peaceful Annihilation

Falconer – From a Dying Ember

June 19, 2020June 7, 2020 Vinterd

It feels like it’s been far longer than just six years since the last time we got new material from Falconer, and yet, somehow, it feels like no time at all. Such a weird thing but, nonetheless, the news of … Continue reading Falconer – From a Dying Ember

Ice War – Defender, Destroyer

June 18, 2020June 3, 2020 Vinterd

There aren’t many times when I find myself listening to much thrash or heavy metal nowadays that I can really feel the power that’s at play throughout the album. Sure, speed and riffs tend to have large roles in both … Continue reading Ice War – Defender, Destroyer

Disamara – Notturna è la Quiete

June 16, 2020June 2, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not unoften that I find myself listening to an album and eventually turning it off just because it hasn’t grasped me in any sort of way. That’s something every music fan can admit to whether they like it or … Continue reading Disamara – Notturna è la Quiete

Doom, MetalLeave a comment

Obolus – s/t

June 15, 2020June 1, 2020 Vinterd

Scouring Bandcamp for something that raises an eyebrow is always a fun search if you’re someone like me who will just pick a random direction to search in hoping for something good, and it’s always incredibly rewarding when you find … Continue reading Obolus – s/t

Barbaric Horde – Axe of Superior Savagery

June 14, 2020June 1, 2020 Vinterd

Incredibly raw, caustic, and unforgiving extreme metal is far from an uncommon sight in today’s climate where it can easily seem like there’s a constant arms race across the underground that continues to fire off an undeniably aggressive and hugely … Continue reading Barbaric Horde – Axe of Superior Savagery
