reviews for albums that I consider metal

Doom, MetalLeave a comment

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

Black, Metal, ThrashLeave a comment

Chaoshorde – Hordes Arising

July 29, 2018 Vinterd

 For whatever reason, I always think of thrash metal in Greece before any other country in the world. Acts like Suicidal Angels and Biotoxic Warfare truly grasped my attention for the scene there, and for years everytime I turn to … Continue reading Chaoshorde – Hordes Arising

The Nightly Disease – Smell of Burning Wood

July 28, 2018August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 There’s a certain sense of wonder that is found in almost all instrumental rock and metal albums given how the two styles rely on vocals just as much as the instruments. But styles like doom metal or psychedelic rock are … Continue reading The Nightly Disease – Smell of Burning Wood

Metal, Punk, ThrashLeave a comment

Satan’s Acolytes – The Horns

July 27, 2018 Vinterd

 More often than not, I turn to the wide reaches of black metal whenever I want to see some crispy Satanic metal brought to the table that I can just jam out to because fuck yes. However, Satan doesn’t only … Continue reading Satan’s Acolytes – The Horns

Atmospheric, Black, MetalLeave a comment

Cosmic Autumn – s/t

July 26, 2018 Vinterd

 The constant search for quality atmospheric black metal can become quite tiresome at times with the oversaturation of the style being an absolutely monumental task to take on. Simply sifting through the records to find something you can enjoy is … Continue reading Cosmic Autumn – s/t

Death, MetalLeave a comment

Void Eater – III

July 25, 2018 Vinterd

 Death metal is, obviously, something that isn’t for the light-hearted with literally everything being an assault upon the sense. But like all styles of music, there are a few select acts that have the desire to really take things up … Continue reading Void Eater – III

Metal, PowerLeave a comment

Powerwolf – The Sacrament of Sin

July 23, 2018 Vinterd

 Despite my experience in the world of power metal being incredibly and horribly limited, Powerwolf has remained one of the few constants for me as this band has had my attention ever since I first heard them with their last … Continue reading Powerwolf – The Sacrament of Sin

Integrity / Krieg – Split

July 22, 2018July 23, 2018 Vinterd

 I’ve always been one that’s up for a good split. Whether it be two bands that have a similar sound that want to have a split together because why not or two bands that share a label with B-tracks from … Continue reading Integrity / Krieg – Split

Atmospheric, Metal, Progressive, SludgeLeave a comment

Khôrada – Salt

July 21, 2018July 21, 2018 Vinterd

 Each of us has a band that everyone else seems to like, yet we never got into for one reason or another. It’s always a more popular band even if the act is still undoubtedly underground, and for me the … Continue reading Khôrada – Salt

Heads for the Dead – Serpent’s Curse

July 20, 2018 Vinterd

 There are many times that I go into a death metal record and end up just feeling so… bored. It’s something that I genuinely don’t enjoy given how much I love some good death metal, but every now and then … Continue reading Heads for the Dead – Serpent’s Curse
