Psyclops – Amalgam

April 29, 2020April 18, 2020 Vinterd

April 27, 2020April 17, 2020 Vinterd

Coffinwood – Storm of Steel

April 25, 2020April 17, 2020 Vinterd

It would be a stretch to say that there has been a surge of black/death/whatever metal bands embracing WWI history in their music in recent years, but we would be remiss to say that there haven’t been a number of … Continue reading Coffinwood – Storm of Steel

Wasteland Coven – Ruined

April 24, 2020April 17, 2020 Vinterd

A lot of the time that I find myself looking into any fresh doom act, it feels like a lot of the time it’s a volume war in order to sound the loudest or feel the largest that feels like … Continue reading Wasteland Coven – Ruined

Chaos Over Cosmos – II

April 23, 2020April 16, 2020 Vinterd

Dreichmere – The Fruit of Barren Fields

April 21, 2020April 12, 2020 Vinterd

There are many things that could go into an album that can grab the attention and keep anybody listening, but one thing I prize above anything else is the ability to feel unique even if it’s just a little. It’s … Continue reading Dreichmere – The Fruit of Barren Fields

Boreal – The Battle of VOSAD

April 20, 2020April 12, 2020 Vinterd

Mixing black metal with dungeon synth is far from a novel concept nowadays with the latter seeing a crazy explosion in recent years, and when it’s done right the combo can make for something really, really interesting. But, like a … Continue reading Boreal – The Battle of VOSAD

Molder – Vanished Cadavers

April 19, 2020April 11, 2020 Vinterd
