Arcadian Child – Protopsycho

October 31, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

ø The art of psychedelia is something that may seem like an easy thing to accomplish, but it’s something that is so fantastically hard to pull off in a way that can be considered anywhere that can be called even … Continue reading Arcadian Child – Protopsycho

Warlung – Optical Delusions

September 28, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

The many bands of heavy psychedelic rock are always the sort of thing that can keep even the most avid fans on their toes no matter how many bands manage to dish out greatness of all sorts. Warlung’s influence has … Continue reading Warlung – Optical Delusions

Howling Giant / Sergeant Thunderhoof – Masamune and Muramasa

September 2, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not terribly often that we get a split album that’s less of a traditional split and more of a proper collaboration. Bell Witch’s latest effort in league with Aerial Ruin is the latest and most notable of such that … Continue reading Howling Giant / Sergeant Thunderhoof – Masamune and Muramasa

The Spacelords – Spaceflowers

August 21, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

One of the most intriguing sounds in all of music, in my opinion, is undoubtedly just about any form of instrumental rock but especially when it’s drenched in psychedelia. Whether it leans towards the heavier side or not, the style has always … Continue reading The Spacelords – Spaceflowers

Shaman Elephant – Wide Awake But Still Asleep

August 11, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

A slow burn is something that very few bands have a real handle over only because it’s such a hard thing to pull off even just once. For those who do achieve it, it typically comes in the form of … Continue reading Shaman Elephant – Wide Awake But Still Asleep

Elephant Tree – Habits

August 5, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

I remember when I was first coming around to the glorious style that is heavy psych and everything closely related to it that Elephant Tree put out a massive album that caught all sorts of well-deserved accolades. It really seemed … Continue reading Elephant Tree – Habits

Spell – Opulent Decay

July 31, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

The return of proto-metal in recent years has been something that many people have gladly jumped onto whether or not you think even half of the bands that populate the style pull it off, and I’m certainly one of the … Continue reading Spell – Opulent Decay
