Herxheim – Incised Arrival

June 1, 2020May 19, 2020 Vinterd

Ever since 2017, there has been a gaping hole in my listening habits where Howls of Ebb used to be. The band’s split-up, whether on good terms or not, was a real blow for someone like me who came to … Continue reading Herxheim – Incised Arrival

Ritual King – s/t

May 31, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Admittedly, there comes a point where a lot of these stoner rock/heavy psych/doom acts start to blend together because they either sound the same or their names are way too close like how I keep mixing up Void King and … Continue reading Ritual King – s/t

Khthoniik Cerviiks – Æequiizoiikum

May 30, 2020May 18, 2020 Vinterd

As still one of the most insane death metal bands that I’ve heard in years, Khthoniik Cerviiks stands far apart from the rest. It doesn’t take a genius whatsoever to see why, and I have been waiting patiently for years to … Continue reading Khthoniik Cerviiks – Æequiizoiikum

Nexion – Seven Oracles

May 28, 2020May 18, 2020 Vinterd

There have been many times where I crave some off the chain black metal that holds nothing back in terms of pure craziness. An assault on your ears is something that you rarely know you need until it comes upon … Continue reading Nexion – Seven Oracles

Grave Digger – Fields of Blood

May 27, 2020May 17, 2020 Vinterd

The vast landscape of heavy metal is a very interesting one to me as it is as timeless as it is constantly evolving to become something much deadlier while still trying to emulate the legends that have been going for … Continue reading Grave Digger – Fields of Blood

Creature – Ex Cathedra

May 26, 2020May 12, 2020 Vinterd

It’s been in the last few days that I’ve had the immense pleasure of checking out some incredibly experimental music and have used that word enough for a fucking lifetime, but it’s just so damn appropriate! So, when I dove … Continue reading Creature – Ex Cathedra

Atræ Bilis – Divinihility

May 25, 2020December 31, 2020 Vinterd

A band that tries something new is always something that will have my attention almost immediately every single time. It’s something that I’m constantly on the lookout for, and whenever it happens I rarely let it slip by because of … Continue reading Atræ Bilis – Divinihility

Evilfeast / Uuntar – Odes to Lands of Past Traditions

May 24, 2020May 12, 2020 Vinterd

The modern state of black metal is still in a stage that I can’t help but feel is still in the best condition that it has been for such a long time with the sound being far more available than … Continue reading Evilfeast / Uuntar – Odes to Lands of Past Traditions

Neptunian Maximalism – Éons

May 23, 2020May 12, 2020 Vinterd

Just a few days ago with my review for Fleshvessel’s debut EP, “Bile of Man Reborn”, I claimed that it was incredibly inventive on every level and not afraid whatsoever to cross genre lines to create something unique and electrifying. … Continue reading Neptunian Maximalism – Éons

Aborted Earth – Man-Made Mechanical Misery

May 22, 2020May 11, 2020 Vinterd

A lot of the time that I find myself listening to grind of any sort it tends to be very straightforward in its execution and presentation. It’s not terribly often that I get to see a grind act successfully pull … Continue reading Aborted Earth – Man-Made Mechanical Misery
