Reaper – Rebirth of Chaos

November 9, 2021October 28, 2021 Vinterd

November 7, 2021October 23, 2021 Vinterd

When I think of quality Swedish death metal the likes of which most of us can rarely get enough of, there are plenty of names that come to our minds in a list that seems damn near endless at times. … Continue reading Necrophagous – In Chaos Ascend

Blackfold – Solarus

November 6, 2021October 23, 2021 Vinterd

When an ambitious band comes around that dares to try something we don’t see every day, it immediately catches my eye more often than not. That’s especially true for me when the material in question is a single track spanning … Continue reading Blackfold – Solarus

Godless – States of Chaos

November 5, 2021October 22, 2021 Vinterd

As one of the first metal bands that I heard to come from the country of India, Godless has always been a name I respected to my core. Their particular brand of extremity is something that I found immensely alluring … Continue reading Godless – States of Chaos

Murderbait – When the Sun Goes Down, It Goes Down Forever

November 3, 2021October 22, 2021 Vinterd

It takes a special breed of band to be able to bring forth any brand of dark psychedelia for simply how difficult that is to achieve in even some of its smallest forms, and it can oftentimes feel as though … Continue reading Murderbait – When the Sun Goes Down, It Goes Down Forever

Eos – Les Corps S’Entrechoquent

November 2, 2021October 22, 2021 Vinterd

If there is any single style throughout all of metal that may be considered as oversaturated, atmospheric black metal certainly has to be towards the very top of that list. The sheer amount of bands that occupy that style is … Continue reading Eos – Les Corps S’Entrechoquent

Mycelium – Spore Bloody Spore

November 1, 2021October 16, 2021 Vinterd

It’s been on more than one occasion where I’ve described some of the best death metal being on the very floor of the seething underground of metal where the truly nastiest of bands make their home with it being all … Continue reading Mycelium – Spore Bloody Spore

Contemplation – s/t

October 31, 2021October 16, 2021 Vinterd

On occasion, we get an album that seems to almost spit in the very face of genre boundaries for how explorative the sound is right from the beginning and how unashamed the band in question is to explore the possibilities … Continue reading Contemplation – s/t
