January 28, 2024January 17, 2024 Vinterd

January 26, 2024January 17, 2024 Vinterd

Aureole – Alunarian Bellmaster

January 23, 2024January 17, 2024 Vinterd

For all that one man can accomplish largely on his own, people’s expectations tend to be tempered to be more reasonable rather than bombastic. It is usually the case that a single person cannot account for the talent necessary to … Continue reading Aureole – Alunarian Bellmaster

Sacrofuck – Swieta Krew

January 22, 2024January 15, 2024 Vinterd

For all that is possible within the realms of death metal, there are still a few corners and veins out there that are absolutely more extreme to the point that warrants a particular level of depravity to bring to life. … Continue reading Sacrofuck – Swieta Krew

Soulcarrion – Enthrone Death

January 20, 2024January 9, 2024 Vinterd

Onslaught Kommand – Visions of Blood and Gore

January 18, 2024January 9, 2024 Vinterd

Olhava – Sacrifice

January 17, 2024January 8, 2024 Vinterd

For all the up-and-coming acts throughout the many different realms of black metal, it is arguably within the more atmospheric reaches of the sound that we’ve seen the most growth from in recent times. Plenty of acts have sprung from … Continue reading Olhava – Sacrifice

Defect Designer – Chitin

January 15, 2024January 10, 2024 Vinterd

Death metal is one of those sounds that, by all accounts, is made to not leave anything on the table or hold anything back unless it’s for real dramatic effect. We’ve seen tens of thousands of different acts come around … Continue reading Defect Designer – Chitin
