Depravity – Evil Upheaval

March 2, 2018March 3, 2018 Vinterd

 Whenever I hear of new metal from anywhere I almost always have an instinctive impulse to check and see where the band is from. If I see the band in question is from Australia, I get excited because that country … Continue reading Depravity – Evil Upheaval

MethysOs – Jukai

March 1, 2018 Vinterd

 For the longest time, I always felt that folk metal would be suited to a Chinese or samurai theme and for the longest time, no one attempted it. Then I discovered Whispered, and then Black Kirin, and now MethysOs. These gentlemen … Continue reading MethysOs – Jukai

Inhumankind – Self-Extinction

February 28, 2018 Vinterd

 Even though metal is easily the most diverse genre in all of the music worlds with having niche corners creating by unique bands every single year, I find myself wanting to hear different things. But, with these reviews, I try … Continue reading Inhumankind – Self-Extinction

Ende – Goétie Funeste

February 27, 2018 Vinterd

 Typically, it can take a band anywhere between two to five or more years to create a new album due to touring, personal obligations, creative breaks, and anything in between. A band that is constantly dishing out new material back … Continue reading Ende – Goétie Funeste

Interview with Canyon of the Skull

February 26, 2018August 10, 2018 Vinterd

A lot of times when I do this review shit, I do a lot of stumbling around when looking for new music. It was especially clear in my earlier days doing this, and one day I got an email from … Continue reading Interview with Canyon of the Skull

Coldawn – …In the Dawn

February 25, 2018 Vinterd

 With many of us being in the depths of winter, sometimes it’s music that can really bring out the best of the season. It’s hard to find a metal album that accurately represents a season in general, but black metal … Continue reading Coldawn – …In the Dawn

Ilsa – Corpse Fortress

February 24, 2018February 24, 2018 Vinterd

 If you search long and hard enough in the metal underground, you’ll come across some real filthy shit that doesn’t abash itself by censoring themes or lyrics. Instead, they thrive in it. Most of these bands tend not to get … Continue reading Ilsa – Corpse Fortress

The Crown – Cobra Speed Venom

February 23, 2018 Vinterd

 A band that has been around for decades are the kind that many people cling to given how those bands understandably almost always have a taste of classic material within their sound given that’s when they started things off as a … Continue reading The Crown – Cobra Speed Venom

Oryx – Stolen Absolution

February 22, 2018 Vinterd

 Doom and sludge metal have long been a pairing that’s much like black and death metal or even psychedelia and rock: unforgettable and too enjoyable to let die. Many bands have tried the combination ever since the first experimentation much … Continue reading Oryx – Stolen Absolution

Precaria / Deathspiral of Inherited Suffering / Dominus Ira – Metamorphosphoros

February 21, 2018February 22, 2018 Vinterd

 The appeal of a split is not lost on me in any capacity. It can bring together two great bands for a monumental listen the likes of which we only could’ve hoped to see live before that. Splits tend to … Continue reading Precaria / Deathspiral of Inherited Suffering / Dominus Ira – Metamorphosphoros
