God – God III – Holy Spirit

August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 Being an instrumental act can really broaden the horizons that someone could possibly encapsulate even though sometimes it’s seen as limiting because there aren’t any vocals to help drive the music. But that’s far from the case if you’re an … Continue reading God – God III – Holy Spirit

Insineratehymn – A Moment In a Vision

August 9, 2018 Vinterd

 We live in an era of unprecedented underground quality, expanse, and diversity where it seems that there’s literally nothing that the underground of metal can’t dish out. Death metal may be one of the styles that sees the least amount … Continue reading Insineratehymn – A Moment In a Vision

Potmos Hetoimos – Vox Medusae

August 7, 2018August 8, 2018 Vinterd

The word “experimental” is an incredibly dangerous one in the world of music. Simply because it can lead to quite literally anything that pops into the mind of the artist, and given the wide variety and territories that metal covers, … Continue reading Potmos Hetoimos – Vox Medusae

Project: Wormhole – Time Beings

August 6, 2018 Vinterd

 Jazz has long been something that I’ve only really been able to appreciate in very small doses. I just simply can’t get into the style as a whole, but seeing its influences peppered throughout metal here and there definitely makes … Continue reading Project: Wormhole – Time Beings

Blood of Serpents – Sulphur Sovereign

August 3, 2018August 4, 2018 Vinterd

Lelahell – Alif

July 31, 2018August 1, 2018 Vinterd

 I’ve always been interested in seeing the crawl of metal reach across the globe in different paces and with varying amount of effect depending upon the region. In the Middle East, it’s not as clear with the genre not exactly … Continue reading Lelahell – Alif

Monte Luna – s/t

July 30, 2018 Vinterd

 A lot of people tend to go for doom for the heaviness, and while that’s something that I constantly come back for time and again it’s the recurring use of psychedelia that draws me back more than anything. It all … Continue reading Monte Luna – s/t
