Midnight Odyssey – Biolume Part 1 – In Tartarean Chains

October 4, 2019September 29, 2019 Vinterd

It’s the ever-expanding realm of atmospheric black metal that is constantly showing us just what lengths the style can be taken to, and it should be all but obvious to see the growth that the style has gone through in … Continue reading Midnight Odyssey – Biolume Part 1 – In Tartarean Chains

Sacrilege – The Court of the Insane

October 3, 2019October 1, 2019 Vinterd

It’s often for me to consider the future of heavy metal as a style whenever I come across a new band that does nothing but justice for the style when it comes to their quality and performance. Bands like Visigoth … Continue reading Sacrilege – The Court of the Insane

Day of the Beast – First Invocation

October 2, 2019September 29, 2019 Vinterd

It endlessly entertains me whenever I look deeper into a metal scene in any given country and seeing something grow or, at the very least, seeing something that’s just taken root for their metal scene. When it comes to France, … Continue reading Day of the Beast – First Invocation

Exhumed – Horror

September 30, 2019September 29, 2019 Vinterd

There are just some bands that seem to be able to make their formula stand the test of time no matter how they do or how often they do it across their releases with however many they release. Death metal … Continue reading Exhumed – Horror

Bednja – Doline Su Ostale Iza Nas

September 29, 2019September 29, 2019 Vinterd

Metal truly knows no bounds when it comes to innovation, especially black metal with its many different corners that help make an already niche style become even more niche as many different bands pull the style in all sorts of … Continue reading Bednja – Doline Su Ostale Iza Nas

Ahret Dev – Hellish

September 28, 2019September 28, 2019 Vinterd

What I love about the modern age of metal more than anything is how many bands and releases that have since called it a quits before the turn of the century now have a much better chance of their truly … Continue reading Ahret Dev – Hellish

Articulus – I

September 27, 2019September 27, 2019 Vinterd

Usually, when I’m thinking of a very clean and uniform take on metal, I’m usually thinking of something along the lines of metalcore or even trying to find a sound that’s close to what you would find on the radio. … Continue reading Articulus – I

Entrails – Rise of the Reaper

September 27, 2019September 27, 2019 Vinterd

Every style seems to have a location or even a set of locations that always seem to provide the goods in massive quantities. Black metal has got Norway and Canada. Thrash has got Greece. Doom has got Finland and America. … Continue reading Entrails – Rise of the Reaper

Hell’s Coronation – Ritual Chalice of Hateful Blood

September 26, 2019October 9, 2019 Vinterd

To count the number of black metal bands who have tried to emulate, or just straight up copy, the sound of the classic masters of black metal would be nearly impossible because the list continues to go on and on … Continue reading Hell’s Coronation – Ritual Chalice of Hateful Blood

Gatecreeper – Deserted

September 25, 2019 Vinterd

There aren’t very many times when I see an album be announced and I really want to pre-order it simply because I don’t like buying music I hadn’t heard yet, but there comes around an album every now and then … Continue reading Gatecreeper – Deserted
