Toadeater – Codex

July 6, 2019July 7, 2019 Vinterd

If you ask me, a demo is rarely anything to go off of as it gives us the rawest and earliest sound a band could produce at the beginning of their existence. It’s not often at all that a demo … Continue reading Toadeater – Codex

Hammerhands – Model Citizen

July 5, 2019July 6, 2019 Vinterd

There’s a brand of aggression throughout metal that I just don’t immerse myself in despite my love for it: sludge. It’s so visceral and holds so much excellence in its endless heaviness that it’s hard for me to rip myself … Continue reading Hammerhands – Model Citizen

Goatskullt – Kinahmia

July 4, 2019July 5, 2019 Vinterd

The world is a wide and large place with so many different people doing so many different things to bring something interesting into the world of metal music, and it’s the land of Scandinavia that we can always rely on … Continue reading Goatskullt – Kinahmia

Spreading the Disease – Mindcell

July 2, 2019July 3, 2019 Vinterd

The great vast majority of the time I sit here and try to shove albums down the throats of you people the material tends to hail from the more extreme end of metal as that’s simply what interests me the … Continue reading Spreading the Disease – Mindcell

Crypt Sermon – The Ruins of Fading Light

July 1, 2019July 2, 2019 Vinterd

Every single person who has ever listened to music has a select few bands from whom they want more material. Be it a single band or a long list of tens of acts, we all have a name that we … Continue reading Crypt Sermon – The Ruins of Fading Light

Oenos – Noir II

June 29, 2019June 30, 2019 Vinterd

For those who take the time to sit down and analyze music, we listen to the extent where you can really pick apart the band’s influences just from listening to them. And it’s become a trend where weed is a … Continue reading Oenos – Noir II

Aktaion – Above Empires

June 27, 2019June 28, 2019 Vinterd

I don’t know about you, but if you’re anything like me then you know that this year has been an absolutely ridiculous year with a new spectacular release coming out of nowhere every few weeks if not multiple times in … Continue reading Aktaion – Above Empires

Eternal Storm – Come The Tide

June 26, 2019 Vinterd

It’s been a hot minute since I found a piece of death metal with even a mildly melodic side that wasn’t just a retread of the band’s previous sound that I could really get behind. I’ve long claimed that we’re … Continue reading Eternal Storm – Come The Tide

Victims – The Horse and Sparrow Theory

June 25, 2019June 26, 2019 Vinterd

The individual roads of punk and metal have always been very close to each other, almost inches apart as you can seldom hear bands that aren’t influenced by the other side in some form. And that’s not even including the … Continue reading Victims – The Horse and Sparrow Theory

Aubzagl – Eilifa Kuldinn

June 24, 2019June 25, 2019 Vinterd

There have been many times that I sat down to listen to some quality atmospheric black metal and I get exactly what I think I will. But, it’s every now and then that I hear a record that changes the … Continue reading Aubzagl – Eilifa Kuldinn
