Drune – s/t

December 11, 2021December 3, 2021 Vinterd

It’s been a long-standing tradition at this point that the tried and true magic of sludge and doom metal brought together can provide us with material that isn’t some of the heaviest that we’ve ever come across, but it can … Continue reading Drune – s/t

Bøg – Growth

October 20, 2021October 8, 2021 Vinterd

Unbridled heaviness is something that many corners of metal have an immensely good grasp on in some form or another, making it really easy for us listeners to be able to see it come in nearly infinite forms. Going all … Continue reading Bøg – Growth

Grim Earth – In the Throes of Madness

October 18, 2021October 7, 2021 Vinterd

More often than not, whenever I envision some sludge metal I always think of the most intense variety from the likes of what Lord Dying seems to be moving away from to the powerhouse of Eremit with their utterly monolithic … Continue reading Grim Earth – In the Throes of Madness

Le Monde Par Le Feu – À Néant

September 28, 2021September 13, 2021 Vinterd

There are few concoctions across the world of metal that are as deserving of more love and exploration than the very intense crossing of sludge and post-metal. If you’re even somewhat familiar with both of those sounds, it becomes almost … Continue reading Le Monde Par Le Feu – À Néant

Gralaghorr – The Divine Spectacle of Rebirth

September 3, 2021August 25, 2021 Vinterd

Many sections of doom and rock music have found their homes in the desert for all that the sands and scorched rock can offer the style with all sorts of sonic territory being covered by both styles, but it’s always … Continue reading Gralaghorr – The Divine Spectacle of Rebirth

Dagtum – Revered Decadence

August 19, 2021August 9, 2021 Vinterd

A crushing, uncompromising heaviness is something that virtually every single death metal band strives for in some form or another, but it’s difficult to execute it with the right kind of power to actually do it all justice. It’s not … Continue reading Dagtum – Revered Decadence

Seum – Winterized

July 19, 2021July 10, 2021 Vinterd

The definition of a real sludge metal experience varies from one person to another with everyone having their own circumstances that have to be met in order to achieve something that demands to be heard. For me, it changes all … Continue reading Seum – Winterized

TarLung – Architect

June 11, 2021May 31, 2021 Vinterd

It’s the world of sludge that I don’t think that I can get enough of. Just the overall grit of everything that encapsulates the style is so much of what I love about my metal with how nasty it always … Continue reading TarLung – Architect

Red Fang – Arrows

June 3, 2021May 29, 2021 Vinterd

For quite some time now, it’s been safe to say that Red Fang has been one of the pillars for stoners in the world of all things heavy in music with their riffs and attitude being downright consistent with the … Continue reading Red Fang – Arrows

Oryx – Lamenting A Dead World

May 25, 2021May 15, 2021 Vinterd

A band coming into their own is a situation that always must be celebrated if you ask me. There are very few things more satisfying with music than when you stick with the band and they slowly, or quickly sometimes, … Continue reading Oryx – Lamenting A Dead World
