Slave One – Omega Disciples

February 15, 2020February 8, 2020 Vinterd

After six years of doing these reviews, I find it quite enjoyable knowing that if I just give them enough time, I’ll find myself reviewing bands more than once whether it be what at least once a year like with … Continue reading Slave One – Omega Disciples

Rotting Kingdom – A Deeper Shade of Sorrow

February 13, 2020February 8, 2020 Vinterd

The modern state of the entire realm of death metal is something that I can’t help but feel should not be scoffed at simply because of how fucking good it is right now despite what many other narrow-minded listeners may … Continue reading Rotting Kingdom – A Deeper Shade of Sorrow

Dzö-Nga – Thunder in the Mountains

February 11, 2020February 8, 2020 Vinterd

The vast majority of the time, whenever we delve into any sort of black metal work that has any sort of folk elements in it whether it be in the form of instrumentation or just the theme it’s in the … Continue reading Dzö-Nga – Thunder in the Mountains

Late – The One and I

February 10, 2020February 8, 2020 Vinterd

Whenever I delve into any sort of instrumental band and think about whatever they may put forth in the future, I never really think about the possibility of them gaining a vocalist. Such a transition is very much trading one … Continue reading Late – The One and I

The Riot Peddlers – Strength in Dumbers

February 9, 2020February 8, 2020 Vinterd

India used to be a country that I would actively seek out material from on a regular basis mainly thanks to the likes of Transcending Obscurity bringing to light just how rich the country’s metal scene is as a whole, … Continue reading The Riot Peddlers – Strength in Dumbers

Marrasmieli – Between Land and Sky

February 6, 2020January 27, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not often enough that we get a really solid work that blends together the realms of black and folk metal in such a way that really flattens just about every person that sits down to take a real listen … Continue reading Marrasmieli – Between Land and Sky

Clouds – Durere

February 5, 2020January 27, 2020 Vinterd

Last year was a true flagship year for the entire world of death/doom in my eyes. We got loads upon loads of truly exceptional pieces from staggering bands both new and old to the scene that graced us with works … Continue reading Clouds – Durere

Lord Mantis – Universal Death Church

February 4, 2020January 27, 2020 Vinterd

There are many, many works of sludge out there that range so much in just how much raw heaviness they bring to the table, and it’s quite uncommon that we see a band bring it justice when it’s mixed with … Continue reading Lord Mantis – Universal Death Church

Live Burial – Unending Futility

February 3, 2020January 27, 2020 Vinterd

To hearken back to the classic days of death metal is to try and do something that only the very talented can get a good grip of in today’s climate. But, if you have the right tools and the people … Continue reading Live Burial – Unending Futility

Altesia – Paragon Circus

February 2, 2020January 24, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not terribly often that we get a progressive record that just feels fun in its essence. Typically, we get stuff that’s far more serious than it has to be, and that can be a little soul-draining at times because … Continue reading Altesia – Paragon Circus
