Osi and the Jupiter – Stave

July 12, 2021July 3, 2021 Vinterd

It was last year when I came back to Osi and the Jupiter for their EP titled “Appalachia”, and it was by far one of the most enchanting experiences of its kind that I still have heard. Having recently moved … Continue reading Osi and the Jupiter – Stave

Stonekind – Spirit of the Void

July 11, 2021July 2, 2021 Vinterd

  Looking at the world of heavy psych at large, the name of the style itself comes into play right out of the gate with it being home to some of the heaviest psychedelic acts that have graced our ears … Continue reading Stonekind – Spirit of the Void

Replicant – Malignant Reality

July 10, 2021July 2, 2021 Vinterd

To take into consideration all the death metal that could be considered as “technical” would be to deal with a large swathe of all that it can encapsulate, and it would be significantly understated if we were to say that … Continue reading Replicant – Malignant Reality

Dream Tröll – Realm of the Tormentor

July 9, 2021June 26, 2021 Vinterd

When something isn’t broken, we get people in roughly equal amounts that both don’t seem a reason to improve it and those who do. When it comes to the classic sound of heavy metal, though, it’s quite surprising how many … Continue reading Dream Tröll – Realm of the Tormentor

Dordeduh – Har

July 8, 2021June 26, 2021 Vinterd

It’s maybe about two or three times a year, sometimes even less, that we are granted an album that can really bend our brains and subvert expectations in a way that cannot be considered anything less than truly spectacular. It’s … Continue reading Dordeduh – Har

Arched Fire – Remote Control

July 7, 2021June 26, 2021 Vinterd

While recycling may be good for the planet and many of us individually, it’s rarely a good thing when it comes to creating new music. An album that sounds recycled sounds lazy right out of the gate with that fate … Continue reading Arched Fire – Remote Control

Sorcia – Death By Design

July 6, 2021June 25, 2021 Vinterd

It’s no secret that when I come across any piece of material that dares to make, I am compelled by every fiber of my soul to investigate for when the concept is brought to life by a band that actually … Continue reading Sorcia – Death By Design

Flame, Dear Flame – Aegis

July 5, 2021June 25, 2021 Vinterd

There’s a special quality that came with the classic variants of doom that we simply don’t get anymore whether it’s out of a desire to keep evolving the sound in a modern age or simple cases of overproduction, but it’s … Continue reading Flame, Dear Flame – Aegis

Somnuri – Nefarious Wave

July 4, 2021June 25, 2021 Vinterd

It’s not terribly often that we can come across a band that can be considered a game-changer in some form or another simply because acts like that are few and far between, but it’s when one crosses our path that … Continue reading Somnuri – Nefarious Wave

The Nightly Disease – Delicate White Sound

July 3, 2021June 20, 2021 Vinterd

The whole concept of instrumental black metal is one that I find criminally underused in the modern soundscape despite how much innovation the style is constantly bringing forth as a whole. There have been extremely few names that have dared … Continue reading The Nightly Disease – Delicate White Sound
