DragonForce – Extreme Power Metal

September 14, 2019 Vinterd

There’s not really any need for an introduction for DragonForce is there? They’ve been nominated for music awards, garnered throngs of new fans from just one song in one game that time, and continues to dish out some of the … Continue reading DragonForce – Extreme Power Metal

Desert – Fortune Favors the Brave

August 29, 2019 Vinterd

It’s the occasional surprise that really keeps me coming back to styles that I don’t frequent often and power metal is definitely one of those styles that I can almost always eat right up given just how fun it is … Continue reading Desert – Fortune Favors the Brave

Sabaton – The Great War

August 7, 2019July 28, 2019 Vinterd

I’ll be honest with you, when I saw that Sabaton was returning to the familiar topic of World War One after exploring wars in different eras with their previous effort, “The Last Stand”, I was a little disappointed. I was … Continue reading Sabaton – The Great War

Kings Winter – Forging the Cataclysm

June 14, 2019June 15, 2019 Vinterd

Of all the trends that we’ve seen on the rise in the world of metal in recent years, it’s the sudden jump in the number of bands fronted by women who are given attention almost exclusively for that sometimes. I’ve … Continue reading Kings Winter – Forging the Cataclysm

Witchlords – Demons in the Dark

April 18, 2019April 19, 2019 Vinterd

Over the course of the last five years, I feel I’ve done a pretty solid job at doing a decent spread of the different styles of metal that have come to interest me in my time. But, it goes without … Continue reading Witchlords – Demons in the Dark

Laudare – d.é.o.m.é.

August 21, 2018August 22, 2018 Vinterd

 There is something about most music that many people tend to forget especially in the world of metal where everything tends to be violent and even catastrophic at times: it’s art. We tend to gloss over that fact with many … Continue reading Laudare – d.é.o.m.é.

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

Winter’s Edge – The Guardians of Our Time Pt. 1

July 15, 2018July 15, 2018 Vinterd

 Much like folk metal, the incredibly bombastic world of power metal has been one that I’ve always skimmed the surface but almost never really dive into the style to see what all it has to offer. Sure, acts like HammerFall … Continue reading Winter’s Edge – The Guardians of Our Time Pt. 1

Redemption – Long Night’s Journey into Day

July 9, 2018July 10, 2018 Vinterd

 If you ask me, the world of progressive metal has become somewhat stale for an incredibly casual fan like myself. Simply, it’s because the style feels so… manufactured at this point. Sure, we get some enticing pieces every now and … Continue reading Redemption – Long Night’s Journey into Day

Battlesoul – Sunward and Starward

January 30, 2018January 31, 2018 Vinterd

 The life of a viking as we know it in the world of metal is more than any one style can encompass properly most of the time. Sure, bands like Amon Amarth have managed to confine vikings to a single … Continue reading Battlesoul – Sunward and Starward
