MRTVI – Autology The Shadow Work

August 21, 2021August 21, 2021 Vinterd

Improvisation is a decisive word to some of us, and I don’t think it’s hard to understand why. It’s arguably the ultimate form of artistic uniqueness and expression with it being a truly raw execution that might not have an … Continue reading MRTVI – Autology The Shadow Work

Times of Grace – Songs of Loss and Separation

August 20, 2021August 9, 2021 Vinterd

For as long as I’ve been into metal, there have always been key acts that I always find myself coming back to in some form or another whether it be diving further into the styles those original influences came from … Continue reading Times of Grace – Songs of Loss and Separation

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

The Age of Truth – Resolute

August 18, 2021August 9, 2021 Vinterd

There are always a great number of heavy rock acts out there throughout the entire world that are always worthy of mention, but it’s damn near effortless to have some other great names get somewhat lost in the ocean of … Continue reading The Age of Truth – Resolute

Laceration – Demise

August 17, 2021August 4, 2021 Vinterd

To talk even a moment about old school death metal, I can’t help but feel that it’s in the best shape that it’s been in for quite some time. The sheer diversity in acts from all across the world that … Continue reading Laceration – Demise

Eaters of the Soil – s/t

August 16, 2021August 4, 2021 Vinterd

The very concept of experimentation in metal is something that makes my mouth salivate in immense excitement as much as it incites mass skepticism into my soul since anything experimental is the very definition of a gamble when we take … Continue reading Eaters of the Soil – s/t

Noltem – Illusions in the Wake

August 15, 2021August 4, 2021 Vinterd

There aren’t very many instances where we can look into the depths of a black metal release and feel like you’re looking at something beautiful given the very nature of the style itself, but black metal has never once been … Continue reading Noltem – Illusions in the Wake

Carchosa – Realms

August 14, 2021August 4, 2021 Vinterd

Every year, the world of melodic death metal seems to get even more interesting. No matter if we’re strictly talking about the heavier side of the style or its more innovative, colorful side, or even both, melo-death is arguably in … Continue reading Carchosa – Realms

Bornwithhair – When the Witches Fall

August 13, 2021August 4, 2021 Vinterd

If you ask me, to see a band try to walk the line between rock and metal on a consistent and interesting basis for the whole of a work can lead to some of the most engaging material that our … Continue reading Bornwithhair – When the Witches Fall

Powerwolf – Call of the Wild

August 12, 2021August 3, 2021 Vinterd

When we consider the modern state of power metal, there are certain names that come to mind when we take into account those who really make the style something to be heard in today’s soundscape. For me, Powerwolf is absolutely … Continue reading Powerwolf – Call of the Wild
