reviews for albums that I consider metal

Arallu – Desert Battles

May 24, 2018 Vinterd

 The idea of wanting to go back and polish up a past release is far from a new one as literally every single content creator of every variety, myself included, as either contemplated or attempted to go back and make … Continue reading Arallu – Desert Battles

YOB – Our Raw Heart

May 23, 2018 Vinterd

 An explosive start followed by a slow but steady rise is something that can really only be considered as a dream come true for just about any band in the world of metal. That was exactly what has happened with … Continue reading YOB – Our Raw Heart

Lurk – Fringe

May 21, 2018May 22, 2018 Vinterd

 Any metalhead head who’s worth his or her own salt has specific taste when it comes down to it. Sure, we can appreciate all if not most styles, but many would say they like death, doom, or black metal the … Continue reading Lurk – Fringe

Necros Christos – Domedon Doxomedon

May 20, 2018May 21, 2018 Vinterd

 At any given moment on Bandcamp, there are always a select few albums or artists that are quite literally always on rotation as people are always buying them so we always see them pop up on the charts. Mesarthim, Master … Continue reading Necros Christos – Domedon Doxomedon

Gateway – Boundless Torture

May 19, 2018May 20, 2018 Vinterd

 I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: every single metalhead always had a select few bands that will always lay in the underground where they can thrive, and we as fans watch them closer than a hawk follows … Continue reading Gateway – Boundless Torture

Alkaloid – Liquid Anatomy

May 18, 2018May 19, 2018 Vinterd

 There are very few bands that manage to sweep over the metal world in a miasma that truly grips the global scene with an unrelenting attitude. Whenever it happens you won’t stop hearing about the band for months or even … Continue reading Alkaloid – Liquid Anatomy

CHRCH – Light Will Consume Us All

May 17, 2018May 18, 2018 Vinterd

 One of the more tantalizing acts that doom metal has spawned in recent years is undoubtedly Chrch. I always felt before hearing their debut that Un would hold the chalice and the best doom band with a debut record in 2015, … Continue reading CHRCH – Light Will Consume Us All

Nuclear Antichrist – s/t

May 16, 2018May 17, 2018 Vinterd

 A style that I’ve always been a fan of but never really spend that much time with is death/thrash metal. I’ve no idea why I don’t visit it often, but it’s something that I really need to change with there … Continue reading Nuclear Antichrist – s/t

Truchło Strzygi – Pora Umierać

May 15, 2018May 16, 2018 Vinterd

 Poland is far from a place that I would expect to find any variety of punk let alone black metal, but leave it to the world of metal to always keep me guessing where the next tasty piece is going … Continue reading Truchło Strzygi – Pora Umierać

Gruesome – Twisted Prayers

May 14, 2018May 15, 2018 Vinterd

 I feel it’s far too obvious to call Death one of the apex death metal bands of all time with their unending scope and undying influence on the scene to this day. I could sit here all fucking day and … Continue reading Gruesome – Twisted Prayers
