Black Magic Tree – Terra

December 18, 2025December 12, 2025 Vinterd

I can understand the concept of the supposed golden years of rock music being behind us, but it is my firm belief that those who claim that rock is dead in any form simply refuse to use their eyeballs and … Continue reading Black Magic Tree – Terra

River Cult – High Anxiety

December 13, 2025December 6, 2025 Vinterd

The history of stoner rock and its related genres are as storied and magnificent as they are elusive in an attempt to perpetuate in virtually every form. Sure, it’s a sound that can be argued to be little more than … Continue reading River Cult – High Anxiety

Kauan – Wayhome

December 5, 2025November 30, 2025 Vinterd

Every once in a while, we’re given a work that is no less than transformative in nature. Music is something that has long been able to touch some typically unreachable part of the soul that we seal off for any … Continue reading Kauan – Wayhome

Indigosaur – Cosmic Censor

November 27, 2025November 27, 2025 Vinterd

While many of us are constantly looking for the next big thing when it comes to what rock music can still bring to the table in a revolutionary way, I think only focusing on such one-in-a-generation talent is a disservice … Continue reading Indigosaur – Cosmic Censor

Kylver – The Gobi

November 22, 2025 Vinterd

Why does it almost always seem to be that some of the best kept underground secrets are those that have a release schedule that’s periodic at best? Perhaps it has something to do with the concept of “quality over quantity”, … Continue reading Kylver – The Gobi

Abanamat – Abominat

November 18, 2025November 18, 2025 Vinterd

Hands down, one of the best things about psychedelia is how amorphous it all is. Changing forms greatly as we venture from one band to the next, there’s nothing  that can tamp down some well-channeled psychedelia in such a way … Continue reading Abanamat – Abominat

Maha Sohona – A Dark Place

October 26, 2025October 22, 2025 Vinterd

It’s one thing to find yourself in a scene that’s almost constantly overflowing with potential, but it’s something else altogether to not only put yourself right in the thick of it all and then continuously prove yourself to such a … Continue reading Maha Sohona – A Dark Place

Yawning Man – Pavement Ends

October 22, 2025October 14, 2025 Vinterd

There are some things in this world that just feel ever so right. Whether it’s the taste of your favorite food or the feeling of the chilling wind on your skin on an autumn day as the crisp leaves fall, … Continue reading Yawning Man – Pavement Ends

Buzzard – Everything is Not Going to be Alright

October 16, 2025September 17, 2025 Vinterd

There are some acts that you just can’t keep down for long. It’s the normal expectations that it takes at least a year or two for a band to come back around with new material, but it’s every now and … Continue reading Buzzard – Everything is Not Going to be Alright

M.E.L.T. – Innervate / Obliterate

October 7, 2025October 4, 2025 Vinterd

At any given time, there are throngs of bands out there in the dense underground who are looking to make their mark known and their sound heard. No matter the genre, it’s a fiercely competitive landscape where only the daring … Continue reading M.E.L.T. – Innervate / Obliterate
