Weeping Sores – False Confession

August 22, 2019August 12, 2019 Vinterd

It’s in recent experiences that I’ve noticed something within the combined realm of death/doom metal: it really feels like many bands, if not most, tend to neglect one of those two styles when performing their brand of death/doom. Now, obviously, … Continue reading Weeping Sores – False Confession

August 21, 2019August 12, 2019 Vinterd

There aren’t many things when it comes to music that I can come to expect on a yearly basis. Normally, as you know, bands will have a gap of at least a few years between releases of any kind, but … Continue reading Sacrenoir / Ende – La Gueule du Loup / Liber Damnatus – Psalm I

Suicidal Angels – Years of Aggression

August 20, 2019August 12, 2019 Vinterd

Whenever a new year comes around, I like to sit down and try and think of what bands I like have new albums coming out or at least expected to. I knew Suicidal Angels has something due any time now … Continue reading Suicidal Angels – Years of Aggression

Tumanduumband – Cursed with Blackened Tongues

August 19, 2019August 8, 2019 Vinterd

Chaos Motion – Psychological Spasms Cacophony

August 18, 2019December 31, 2020 Vinterd

More often than not, when we get a new technical death album we’re treated to a display of one of two things: an aural explosion of chaotic beauty or a full-on force that’s made to shred anything in its path. … Continue reading Chaos Motion – Psychological Spasms Cacophony

Sacred Reich – Awakening

August 16, 2019August 13, 2019 Vinterd

Sometimes, it really feels as though we’re living in an age where the modern legends of both metal and rock are starting to realize they’re nearing the end of the line and are slowly retiring from the stage after legendary … Continue reading Sacred Reich – Awakening

Ethereal Riffian – Legends

August 15, 2019December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Bykürius – A Heretic Art

August 14, 2019 Vinterd

To create something that feels alive in the current climate of black metal, I firmly believe that you either need to be so steeped in the style that you know exactly how to morph it into something worth listening to … Continue reading Bykürius – A Heretic Art

Mairu – The Sacred Dissonance

August 12, 2019August 13, 2019 Vinterd

When listening to anything that’s instrumental, I want to hear something that’s really going to illustrate a world around me that words cannot bring forth and given that by nature there are no words to be had. It’s all but … Continue reading Mairu – The Sacred Dissonance

Eramaa – Breathe

August 11, 2019 Vinterd

Most of the time when I go to listen to any sort of folk metal, I’m hoping to get an epic experience filled with all the parts of a fantastical journey that the style could ever possibly hope to bring … Continue reading Eramaa – Breathe
