Nebula – Transmission from Mothership Earth

July 5, 2022June 22, 2022 Vinterd

Every subsection of all that psychedelic rock has to offer feels touched by legends in such a way that it becomes hard to imagine the very sound without their influence or ingenuity propelling the style forward or creating it all … Continue reading Nebula – Transmission from Mothership Earth

King Buffalo – Regenerator

July 3, 2022July 3, 2022 Vinterd

At this point, it’s hard for me to imagine what can be possibly said about King Buffalo that hasn’t been said a million times already. This is just one of those seminal bands that always make headlines whenever they so … Continue reading King Buffalo – Regenerator

Trigona – s/t

June 29, 2022June 20, 2022 Vinterd

June 23, 2022June 14, 2022 Vinterd

As I’m still sitting here riding on the wave of ecstasy that is the latest release from The Re-Stoned, I still somehow find myself hungering for more from the ever-bountiful world of instrumental psych rock. It’s a style that has … Continue reading The Space Huns – Swirling Waves, Moons and Tides

Josiah – We Lay on Cold Stone

June 18, 2022June 15, 2022 Vinterd

When we consider the modern heavy psych scene as we know it, it’s a true wonder to behold, isn’t it? It’s one of those sights that never gets old, and it’s all too easy to forget the very roots of … Continue reading Josiah – We Lay on Cold Stone

Drunk Motherfuckers – Dead End

June 14, 2022June 5, 2022 Vinterd

Not often enough do metal musicians find the time to make music that can be considered fun. There’s nothing wrong with creating music that’s pretty serious almost all the time with the band’s image reflecting that, but there’s always something … Continue reading Drunk Motherfuckers – Dead End

The Re-Stoned – Stories of the Astral Lizard Vol. 2

May 31, 2022May 24, 2022 Vinterd

Hands down, this has been one of my most anticipated creations for some time now and I won’t even begin to refute that. Ever since I had first started listening to The Re-Stoned, I knew that I had found something … Continue reading The Re-Stoned – Stories of the Astral Lizard Vol. 2

Apewards – Peaks Vol. II

May 28, 2022May 18, 2022 Vinterd

While I’ve always been an advocate for psychedelia taken to the very lengths of what it can become in the right hands, there is never anything route with taking a lighter approach to the sound that offers something more in … Continue reading Apewards – Peaks Vol. II

De Arma – Nightcall

May 10, 2022May 4, 2022 Vinterd

When you’re taking mood and thematics into consideration for any body of work no matter how small it might be, there’s not much that can compare to a piece of gothic rock done right down to the very tone of … Continue reading De Arma – Nightcall
