Dimwind – Slow Wave Violence

June 12, 2021May 31, 2021 Vinterd

The vast majority of the time, it’s within the vast world of rock that instrumental acts tend to find a home in rather than in the world of metal. Something about rock is more appealing to instrumental acts out there, … Continue reading Dimwind – Slow Wave Violence

TarLung – Architect

June 11, 2021May 31, 2021 Vinterd

It’s the world of sludge that I don’t think that I can get enough of. Just the overall grit of everything that encapsulates the style is so much of what I love about my metal with how nasty it always … Continue reading TarLung – Architect

Desaster – Churches Without Saints

June 10, 2021May 29, 2021 Vinterd

It’s not terribly often that we find ourselves with a band that manages to bring forth virtually every aspect of extreme metal into one performance that still manages to feel fresh, cohesive, and utterly engaging. Having been around for a … Continue reading Desaster – Churches Without Saints

Necroschaos – Mortal Angels Descent

June 9, 2021May 29, 2021 Vinterd

The growth of a band going from a demo to a full-length album can just as easily feel like a massive leap as much as a small step forward for the progression of a band, and it was to see … Continue reading Necroschaos – Mortal Angels Descent

Doubtsower – Asphyxiation of a Seasick Soul

June 8, 2021May 29, 2021 Vinterd

Being able to come from a different musical background to cross genre lines to challenge yourself as a musician is something that I will always respect out of those who dare to attempt it, but, as you might expect, success … Continue reading Doubtsower – Asphyxiation of a Seasick Soul

Drawn and Quartered – Congregation Pestilence

June 7, 2021May 28, 2021 Vinterd

When we speak the words “death metal”, it tends to be that our brains go for the extreme in a style that’s already pushing music to an extreme simply by existing. Many modern acts have tried with varying degrees of … Continue reading Drawn and Quartered – Congregation Pestilence

Gnosis – Omens from the Dead Realm

June 6, 2021May 23, 2021 Vinterd

It’s more often in recent times that we’ve been seeing the worlds of black and death metal crossing each other over in order to create experiences that are as scathing as it is brutal in many different forms, but it … Continue reading Gnosis – Omens from the Dead Realm

Towards Atlantis Lights – When the Ashes Devoured the Sun

June 5, 2021May 23, 2021 Vinterd

When their debut came out just three years ago, Towards Atlantis Lights really made one hell of a show in the world of funeral doom with everything that they brought forth being the new and fresh addition to the shadowy … Continue reading Towards Atlantis Lights – When the Ashes Devoured the Sun

Aureole – Alunarian Bellmaw

June 4, 2021May 22, 2021 Vinterd

A five-year silence from any band is enough to get the fans thinking if there is to be any follow-up coming in the future, especially when the social media presence for the act becomes minimal at best. Granted, the man … Continue reading Aureole – Alunarian Bellmaw

Red Fang – Arrows

June 3, 2021May 29, 2021 Vinterd

For quite some time now, it’s been safe to say that Red Fang has been one of the pillars for stoners in the world of all things heavy in music with their riffs and attitude being downright consistent with the … Continue reading Red Fang – Arrows
