Orquìlux – The Sunset of My Last Breath

May 24, 2019May 25, 2019 Vinterd

There are very few styles across all of metal that are as varied as black metal, and even then, just the term of “atmospheric black metal” covers an immeasurably wide swathe of material as so many bands have morphed the … Continue reading Orquìlux – The Sunset of My Last Breath

Aether – In Embers

May 23, 2019 Vinterd

They don’t come around too terribly often, but there has been a recent trend in the new generation of melodic death metallers where, instead of blood and guts and such, we’re given a much more colorful and far brighter take … Continue reading Aether – In Embers

Flesh of the Stars – Mercy

May 21, 2019 Vinterd

 I’ve been very fortunate enough to have done these reviews for quite some time and, easily, one of my favorite things about doing them is discovering a band that only a relative handful of other people know and then enjoying … Continue reading Flesh of the Stars – Mercy

Kingdom – Rotting Carcass Arise Upon the Burial Mound

May 20, 2019May 21, 2019 Vinterd

To produce a sound that’s as hostile as well as immensely entertaining is to create death metal itself, but to make it an enjoyable experience without compromising through riffs or making it appealing to a wide audience in any sort … Continue reading Kingdom – Rotting Carcass Arise Upon the Burial Mound

Kha.wis – Life Oscillation

May 17, 2019May 18, 2019 Vinterd

It’s every now and then that we get the occasional album that becomes more of an experience than a mere collection of songs consisting of riffs and melodies. There’s real passion put into these exceptional works and it’s a real … Continue reading Kha.wis – Life Oscillation

Aeon Patronist – Mortal Prosternation

May 16, 2019May 17, 2019 Vinterd

There have been many albums that I’ve had the fortune of coming across that are simply light devouring in their nature as it’s those occasional albums that seek to envelop all of creation if given the chance, and it’s led … Continue reading Aeon Patronist – Mortal Prosternation

Tanith – In Another Time

May 15, 2019May 16, 2019 Vinterd

There has long been a sentiment for the “golden years” of rock and metal as that’s where we typically think of whenever we imagine the legendary albums that still come to define our tastes no matter how diverse, simplistic, or … Continue reading Tanith – In Another Time

Onkos – s/t

May 14, 2019 Vinterd

There have been many routes that metal has taken in recent years as it seems the experimentation to create new sounds has become a near obsession for some acts as we see metal taken to new territories that we never … Continue reading Onkos – s/t

Burial Remains – Trinity of Deception

May 12, 2019May 13, 2019 Vinterd

There is a truly innumerable amount of bands that have tried their hands at recreating the old school style of death metal be it bands that were formed during those classic years or, for the most part, newer bands that … Continue reading Burial Remains – Trinity of Deception

Full of Hell – Weeping Choir

May 11, 2019May 12, 2019 Vinterd

I’ll be honest with you – I’ve always been the kind of guy to appreciate a slower and even atmospheric experience more than I would something along the lines of grindcore. It simply catches my drift more, but, like with … Continue reading Full of Hell – Weeping Choir
