Metal, ThrashLeave a comment

Vulture – Dealin’ Death

May 13, 2021April 29, 2021 Vinterd

The current climate of thrash metal is certainly an interesting debacle. Much like heavy metal, it’s one of those styles that revels in its classic performances such that the sound as a whole has remained virtually unchanged for decades. In … Continue reading Vulture – Dealin’ Death

Human Failure – Crown On The Head Of A King Of Mud

May 12, 2021April 25, 2021 Vinterd

The fusion of death metal and noise has always been an interesting one, to say the least. It’s quite a concoction to mix together such infamous styles that are known to be harsh in even their most refined forms, but … Continue reading Human Failure – Crown On The Head Of A King Of Mud

Yautja – The Lurch

May 11, 2021May 10, 2021 Vinterd

Disoritentation is often a trait that is viewed under two completely different points of view where it can elevate a recording into a cerebral experience that is downright bewildering or it quickly makes the material in question an absolute mess … Continue reading Yautja – The Lurch

Vela Pulsar – Memoirs Of Unbecoming

May 10, 2021April 25, 2021 Vinterd

When it comes to what we normally expect from black metal, dreary environments and only the darkest of emotions come to mind given how harsh and unforgiving the style has always been in a great majority of its forms, but … Continue reading Vela Pulsar – Memoirs Of Unbecoming

LáGoon – Skullactic Visions

May 9, 2021April 23, 2021 Vinterd

Of the many rising stars that are taking the psych-rock world head-on, LáGoon is definitely a name that more people need to know. With their raw sound that hearkens back to classic models as well as carving out their own … Continue reading LáGoon – Skullactic Visions

Doom, MetalLeave a comment

Bretus – Magharia

May 8, 2021April 24, 2021 Vinterd

There’s nothing quite like some doom that doesn’t exactly fit in the mold of doom that’s catering to the classic sound of the style or overly heavy to appeal to people looking to be crushed by riffs at every turn. … Continue reading Bretus – Magharia

Polymerase – Unostentatious

May 7, 2021April 22, 2021 Vinterd

The true beauty of Bandcamp comes into play when you’re able to discover an album from a band that in no other way would you ever hear under any circumstances. It’s the great vast majority of the time that so … Continue reading Polymerase – Unostentatious

71TONMAN – War Is Peace // Peace Is Slavery

May 6, 2021April 22, 2021 Vinterd

It is not an uncommon thing for many of us to want to compare some decidedly heavy music to that of nuclear fallout for many different reasons, but it’s not terribly often whatsoever that we actually do get an album … Continue reading 71TONMAN – War Is Peace // Peace Is Slavery

Ungfell – Es grauet

May 5, 2021April 21, 2021 Vinterd

An album with a story is almost always more compelling when you have a slight idea of what’s going on even when you cannot understand a single word that’s being said, and it’s in the realm of black metal that … Continue reading Ungfell – Es grauet

Herzschlager – All The Nights Are Done

May 4, 2021April 14, 2021 Vinterd

While many of us were more focused on the lack of shows that happened last year due to obvious reasons, there were some musicians who took advantage of main projects having to be put on hold as best they could … Continue reading Herzschlager – All The Nights Are Done
