November 21, 2019November 16, 2019 Vinterd

The number of bands that try to have an eclectic sound that tends to fall flat on their faces without much success can really seem to be astronomical at times, but when you really dig for the good stuff it … Continue reading Chasmdweller – Invoking the Wrath of the Seventh Circle

Dimholt – Epistēmē

November 20, 2019November 14, 2019 Vinterd

Nebula Orionis – Plague

Obrij – In Severe Stranglehold

November 17, 2019November 9, 2019 Vinterd

Black Kirin – Qinhuai

November 15, 2019November 9, 2019 Vinterd

We all have seen examples of bands coming around and revisiting old material whether it be because the band in question wants to give a modern update to fond memories or mere cash grabs. I’ve never really been one to … Continue reading Black Kirin – Qinhuai

Verthebral – Abysmal Decay

November 13, 2019November 9, 2019 Vinterd

Parallax – s/t

November 12, 2019November 2, 2019 Vinterd

Solace – The Brink

November 11, 2019November 2, 2019 Vinterd

The realm of stoner metal is something that people can say is either filled with throngs of acts that are unremarkable at best, but, should you be willing to dig for the good ones like with any style of metal, … Continue reading Solace – The Brink

Ploughshare – Tellurian Insurgency

November 10, 2019November 1, 2019 Vinterd
