Cursed Be Thy Flesh – The Ritual

June 12, 2020May 31, 2020 Vinterd

I have always been the type of person to really enjoy music that goes above and beyond to create something unique and special the likes of which we’ve rarely heard before if at all. But, that doesn’t mean even the … Continue reading Cursed Be Thy Flesh – The Ritual

Brigantia – Midnight

June 11, 2020May 31, 2020 Vinterd

The number of instances where there comes a new band out of the woodwork from wherever on the planet that offers something even a little interesting is simply too high to count for anybody. But, the number of those who … Continue reading Brigantia – Midnight

Ljosazabojstwa – Głoryja Śmierci

June 10, 2020May 31, 2020 Vinterd

At some point all the bands that I’ve come across in my time of doing these reviews, it’s not a shock that some bands, however notable, will fade into the back of my head over time just because of the … Continue reading Ljosazabojstwa – Głoryja Śmierci

Forming the Void – Reverie

June 9, 2020May 27, 2020 Vinterd

If we were to make a chart for this band that showed us their overall progress as a unit from just about every angle, there’d be dramatic increases in every single field. Even though they’ve only put out three albums … Continue reading Forming the Void – Reverie

Corpsing – Civilisation Under Nefarious Tyrants

June 8, 2020May 26, 2020 Vinterd

The number of times that we’ve seen any kind of combination of black and death metal is so unfathomably high that we could likely talk about them for a decade straight and not come close to covering all of them. … Continue reading Corpsing – Civilisation Under Nefarious Tyrants

Living Gate – Deathlust

June 6, 2020May 31, 2020 Vinterd

It’s long been a trend for thousands upon thousands of bands to pay tribute to the classic days of death metal where everything was awesome, raw, and undeniable in its power when the style was still very much in its … Continue reading Living Gate – Deathlust

Warred – MMXX – The Singles Collection

June 5, 2020May 24, 2020 Vinterd

Brazil tends to be a country that I associate with thrash more often than not because that appears to make up the majority of the metal that comes from that portion of South America, but, of course, there are plenty … Continue reading Warred – MMXX – The Singles Collection

Heathen Beast – The Revolution Will Not Be Televised But It Will Be Heard

June 4, 2020May 24, 2020 Vinterd

It doesn’t take a genius to know that anger of any kind plays a crucial part in an extremely large part of all music, and metal has been known to take that to another level with good reason. We’re always … Continue reading Heathen Beast – The Revolution Will Not Be Televised But It Will Be Heard

Ysengrin – Initiatio

June 3, 2020May 20, 2020 Vinterd

To see any band decide to throw in the towel for any reason is a shame, and that goes double particularly for bands who have always delivered something worth listening to. Ysengrin more than qualifies as such with their releases … Continue reading Ysengrin – Initiatio

Huntsmen – Mandala of Fear

June 3, 2020June 2, 2020 Vinterd

Storytelling is something that I’ve always been incredibly fond of ever since I was a child because any good music with a solid story to go with it makes the experiences of both far more flavorful right away. It’s really … Continue reading Huntsmen – Mandala of Fear
