Arcade Messiah – The Host

October 11, 2020September 23, 2020 Vinterd

It’s always fascinating to watch a band that was already fascinating from the very first instance evolve into something that can only be considered as immensely compelling by all accounts. Arcade Messiah has always been a highlight of the progressive … Continue reading Arcade Messiah – The Host

Aal – The Only Path

September 27, 2020September 10, 2020 Vinterd

If you were to even just take a mild glance at the growing landscape of somewhat controlled madness that is progressive death metal, you would immediately notice that the size of the style has been steadily getting larger and larger … Continue reading Aal – The Only Path

Wills Dissolve – Echoes

September 21, 2020September 3, 2020 Vinterd

There is a rarely seen art across the world of metal that I feel is slowly becoming more of a thing that the masses are becoming more welcome to over time, but it’s still exceeding well: the one-track album. I … Continue reading Wills Dissolve – Echoes

Luna’s Call – Void

September 19, 2020September 3, 2020 Vinterd

There is truly endless potential whenever any band decides to stick the word “progressive” in front of whatever style they decide to play because that really does broaden the horizon of possibilities so much more than what many people may … Continue reading Luna’s Call – Void

The Ocean Collective – Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic

September 15, 2020September 3, 2020 Vinterd

And here I was barely yesterday pretty okay with thinking that there would only be one worthwhile album coming out this year that covered any sort of natural or even geographic history of any sort, but, clearly, I was mistaken. … Continue reading The Ocean Collective – Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic

Countless Skies – Glow

August 27, 2020August 8, 2020 Vinterd

  For years now, I’ve been using Countless Skies as one of my greatest referrals when it comes to melodic death metal that really pushes the boundaries of what the style can become when new and creative blood is added … Continue reading Countless Skies – Glow

Alkymist – Sanctuary

August 17, 2020August 1, 2020 Vinterd

Doom and sludge metal have become an inseparable pair in the most recent decades of the evolution of both acts, and they’ve given us many, many quality releases that much of the scene has eaten up like homemade ice cream. … Continue reading Alkymist – Sanctuary

-S- – Zabijanie Czasu

August 16, 2020August 1, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not often anymore that I find myself perplexed. Perplexed in such a way that I’m even more fascinated by what I’m hearing. When I opened up my latest mail from I, Voidhanger Records, I was definitely expecting some black … Continue reading -S- – Zabijanie Czasu

K Prouty – Energy Frequency Vibrations

July 23, 2020July 7, 2020 Vinterd

Progressive material isn’t always what I find myself going for, but in its infinite reaches via imagination and talent, there will always be something for me to investigate. It’s such an intrinsic sound that has so many different variables to … Continue reading K Prouty – Energy Frequency Vibrations

God – God IV – Revelation

June 30, 2020June 14, 2020 Vinterd

For some time, God has been the name to know in my book when it comes to being a progressive and instrumental metal, and I feel it’s safe to say it’s one of the few acts that I’ve come across … Continue reading God – God IV – Revelation
