Megaton Sword – Might & Power

March 2, 2023February 27, 2023 Vinterd

Have you ever heard of a band that, by all accounts, you know you would enjoy, but you never investigate for no particular reason? The list of bands that fit such a description for me is far too long with … Continue reading Megaton Sword – Might & Power

Spectral Lore – 11 Days

March 1, 2023February 20, 2023 Vinterd

At some point, there are a handful of acts that more than earn the title of “ubiquitous” in more ways than one. Having garnered a near-legendary reputation since its debut in 2006 and becoming an absolute monolith in the world … Continue reading Spectral Lore – 11 Days

Hexer – Abyssal

February 28, 2023February 20, 2023 Vinterd

As we find ourselves in an era where we’re met with just as many bands swear by the roots of any given style as we are met by those who defy any conventions with the will to find unexplored territories, … Continue reading Hexer – Abyssal

Autrest – Follow the Cold Path

February 27, 2023February 20, 2023 Vinterd

In the modern age of black metal, it’s no surprise that we’ve seen the more naturalistic side of the genre bloom in such a way that it cannot be considered anything less than overwhelming at times. The corner of black … Continue reading Autrest – Follow the Cold Path

Caratucay – Nocturnes of the Incarcerated

February 26, 2023February 15, 2023 Vinterd

Once in a while, we’re faced with something that I don’t think anybody could have seen coming. Whether it’s a band completely changing their direction or an album from some band that hardly anybody has heard of, surprises of that … Continue reading Caratucay – Nocturnes of the Incarcerated

Foretoken – Triumphs

February 25, 2023February 22, 2023 Vinterd

Metal has never needed any sort of help when it comes to having an epic sound to only further elevate its undeniable glory. The more extreme ends of the style have never been ashamed to look upon myths and legends … Continue reading Foretoken – Triumphs

Oak – Disintegrate

February 24, 2023February 15, 2023 Vinterd

When you already make a great impression with your first album, standards can be pretty high for any band that sticks around long enough to put out a second. Plenty of names overcome the dreaded sophomore slump while others falter … Continue reading Oak – Disintegrate

Demonstealer – The Propaganda Machine

February 23, 2023February 14, 2023 Vinterd

Given all the names that have come around in the more progressive reaches of death metal, it’s not hard to let a name pass you right on by no matter how big or small that name may be in any … Continue reading Demonstealer – The Propaganda Machine

Legends of the Desert: Volume 3 – Fatso Jetson & Dali’s Llama

February 22, 2023February 13, 2023 Vinterd

Since its inception, the “Legends of the Desert” split series has been one that has never left my radar. Already having made itself known as one of the best split series out there in my opinion, it was with great … Continue reading Legends of the Desert: Volume 3 – Fatso Jetson & Dali’s Llama

Decipher – Arcane Paths to Resurrection

February 21, 2023February 12, 2023 Vinterd

For some time now, the Greek underground has not been anything to underestimate. From names new and old, Greece has been damn near non-stop in its pursuit of delivering world-class metal that is recognized in every capacity from all tiers … Continue reading Decipher – Arcane Paths to Resurrection
