Yautja – The Lurch

May 11, 2021May 10, 2021 Vinterd

Eremit – Bearer of Many Names

March 23, 2021March 9, 2021 Vinterd

There are just some albums that are destined for glory before they’re even released, and some even before they’re announced. When Eremit released their debut album, “Carrier of Weight”, just two years ago, I don’t think anyone could’ve predicted the … Continue reading Eremit – Bearer of Many Names

Cult of Luna – The Raging River

January 30, 2021January 21, 2021 Vinterd

It’s a unique pleasure to see a worthy band make the transition into something far more than another band of whatever renown from whatever big or small label would take under any normal circumstances. The revered name of Cult of … Continue reading Cult of Luna – The Raging River

Soothsayer – Echoes of the Earth

January 25, 2021January 9, 2021 Vinterd

Novarupta – Marine Snow

October 20, 2020September 30, 2020 Vinterd

It’s only on occasion that I find myself caught solely by an album’s cover art or even just the title. The art is what draws me in the vast majority of the time, especially when I’m browsing Bandcamp just glances … Continue reading Novarupta – Marine Snow
