Fallujah – Undying Light

February 24, 2019 Vinterd

There’s an odd thing that I’ve noticed almost whenever a band with a substantial following puts out something new that’s different in some way be it arguably minor to major: a very paradoxical set of circumstances result in the fans … Continue reading Fallujah – Undying Light

Kaschalot – Whale Songs

December 4, 2018 Vinterd

 If you’re anyone like me, the allure of heaviness and intensity are just two of the many reasons why you gravitate towards metal more often than not when it comes to your musical taste. Yet, if you’re also anything like … Continue reading Kaschalot – Whale Songs

Sweeping Death – In Lucid

November 8, 2018 Vinterd
