Jinjer – King of Everything

July 24, 2016 Vinterd

Hammers of Misfortune – Dead Revolution

July 11, 2016 Vinterd

 I’ve a distinct feeling that whenever people will think about progressive metal in 2016 they’ll only think about Gojira, and that makes me sad. Sure, their new album was pretty good depending on who you ask, but many people aren’t … Continue reading Hammers of Misfortune – Dead Revolution

Gojira – Magma

June 17, 2016 Vinterd

 Of all the progressive metal bands in the entire world, not one has garnered a larger following that Gojira. That’s not without good reason, naturally, with their previous efforts being ridiculously impressive. So literally all eyes were on these guys … Continue reading Gojira – Magma

April 4, 2016 Vinterd

 More often then not when I see a band that describes themselves as “progressive metal” turn out to be just deathcore, and not that there’s anything wrong with that it’s a little annoying if you’re looking for one and especially … Continue reading Slice the Cake – Odyssey to the West

Good Tiger – A Head Full of Moonlight

February 21, 2016 Vinterd

 As a guy who can relate to and enjoy just about any rock, it is very hard for me to say that I enjoy the mixing of rock and metal. I don’t mean hard rock or grunge, I mean straight … Continue reading Good Tiger – A Head Full of Moonlight

Obscura – Akróasis

January 29, 2016 Vinterd

 The term “progressive death metal” is used way too often by deathcore bands who are either lying to themselves, trying attract different crowds, trying to be “fancy”, or all three. So actually hearing real prog death after see a band call themselves … Continue reading Obscura – Akróasis
