The Howling Eye – Sonorous

May 28, 2018December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 There’s a certain flavor that I certainly can’t get enough of whenever I’m referring to some tasty doom or rock that really grips me from start to finish. It’s a very specific thing but extremely hard to execute properly: psychedelia. … Continue reading The Howling Eye – Sonorous

Black Space Riders – Amoretum Vol. 2

May 22, 2018December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 Double albums are the kind of thing that is tricky much like how it can be difficult to bring a cohesive story for a concept album. Simply making enough material that’s sufficient to split across two full-length records can be … Continue reading Black Space Riders – Amoretum Vol. 2

Cosmos – Coming Home

April 22, 2018December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Black Salvation – Uncertainty Is Bliss

March 28, 2018December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 For whatever reason, Germany has been a hotspot for psychedelic rock with acts like Greenleaf and My Sleeping Karma hailing from the land, and the trend still continues to produce new and exceptional bands. I’ve heard whispers of the name … Continue reading Black Salvation – Uncertainty Is Bliss

MuN – Opia

March 26, 2018December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 The void is a place that a lot of music tends to find itself in, and many times in black metal who embraces the darkness and dares to carve out recesses even darker and even more sinister than we could … Continue reading MuN – Opia

Black Space Riders – Amoretum Vol. 1

January 26, 2018December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 The world is a place that always seems to be getting worse and worse as time goes on between war, death, corruption, famine, disease, and so many other things making the planet seem like a very bleak place. How could … Continue reading Black Space Riders – Amoretum Vol. 1
