Oak Pantheon – The Absence

February 6, 2023January 22, 2023 Vinterd

For some time now, the world of black metal has become quite a scene to bear witness to ever since the digital era for metal really went into full swing with plenty of names emerging in the early days with … Continue reading Oak Pantheon – The Absence

Gravehuffer – …Depart from So Much Evil

February 5, 2023January 22, 2023 Vinterd

After reviewing thousands of albums for almost nine years at this point, it’s only natural that I’ve seen the rise, fall, and evolution of many bands that I’ve come across with all sorts of results across the board and regardless … Continue reading Gravehuffer – …Depart from So Much Evil

Dirge – s/t

February 4, 2023January 21, 2023 Vinterd

Despite the many different directions that the world of post-metal can be taken even without the inclusion of other styles, it can often feel as though many bands in the style are somewhat narrow-minded in how many don’t try new … Continue reading Dirge – s/t

I, of the Trees and Wind – Cry of the Forest

February 3, 2023January 22, 2023 Vinterd

Taking into consideration all that has been dished out in the vast reaches of atmospheric black metal over the years, it’s not hard to think that there isn’t much new ground or interest in given how oversaturated the style has … Continue reading I, of the Trees and Wind – Cry of the Forest

Hail the Void – Memento Mori

February 2, 2023January 21, 2023 Vinterd

Already, anything where the worlds of psychedelia and heaviness intersect begs investigation when we consider the undeniable renaissance that the sound has been going through for some time now, and I’m by no means the only one who can’t shut … Continue reading Hail the Void – Memento Mori

Aglo – Into the Maze

February 1, 2023January 21, 2023 Vinterd

There are a number of obvious pairings for the world of death metal that we’ve seen out there with many seeking to push the boundary in one way or another but failing to really make anything of substance, but one … Continue reading Aglo – Into the Maze

Minenwerfer – Feuerwalze

January 31, 2023January 21, 2023 Vinterd

For some, sitting in one sonic territory simply isn’t good enough. Some take many years to make the transition to something different for some reason or another, but some manage to make every album something different. Given what was laid … Continue reading Minenwerfer – Feuerwalze

Dragoncorpse – The Drakketh Saga

January 29, 2023January 20, 2023 Vinterd

  Just when you think you’ve seen most of what there is to be seen in the world of metal, there’s an inexplicable, almost random curveball that no one ever could have predicted. Be it melodic death metal taken to … Continue reading Dragoncorpse – The Drakketh Saga

Hellripper – Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags

January 28, 2023January 20, 2023 Vinterd

In the right conditions, a single name can utterly dominate. It normally takes time for a name to ascertain a reputation that is bold and massive enough to really grab the attention of listeners at large with many worthwhile acts … Continue reading Hellripper – Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags

Acid King – Beyond Vision

January 27, 2023January 19, 2023 Vinterd

For all that the vast world of psychedelia has been able to bring forth over the decades, I still find myself very comfortable in making the claim that we are in a true golden age for anything that dares to … Continue reading Acid King – Beyond Vision
