Kaatayra – Toda História pela Frente

April 3, 2021March 16, 2021 Vinterd

Brazil has never once been lacking when it comes to churning out interesting metal bands by any means whatsoever with it being the bastion that many of us go to in order to get a proper fix of what South … Continue reading Kaatayra – Toda História pela Frente

Esoctrilihum – Dy’th Requiem For The Serpent Telepath

April 2, 2021March 28, 2021 Vinterd

To challenge yourself as a creator of any sort of musical material is to set yourself down a path that has no clear ending for it varies from one artist to the next with one being given the limelight with … Continue reading Esoctrilihum – Dy’th Requiem For The Serpent Telepath

Goregäng – Long Live the Grime

April 1, 2021March 28, 2021 Vinterd

It was with 2019’s “Neon Graves” that my eyes were opened to a Flordian death metal band that actually managed to bring forth a staggeringly potent crust influence into their work that managed to elevate the album to become one … Continue reading Goregäng – Long Live the Grime

Earthshine – My Bones Shall Rest Upon The Mountain

March 31, 2021March 15, 2021 Vinterd

If you ask me, the worlds of black and doom metal aren’t merged often enough. They can make for such a striking concoction the likes of which metal rarely gets to see when it’s done right, but the combination isn’t … Continue reading Earthshine – My Bones Shall Rest Upon The Mountain

Refore – Built To Nothing

March 30, 2021March 15, 2021 Vinterd

Thrash has always been and will likely always be one of those styles that I always want to get more into, but there’s a wall preventing me from doing so despite my best efforts to overcome such an obstacle. It’s … Continue reading Refore – Built To Nothing

Woe Unto Me – Spiral-Shaped Hopewreck

March 29, 2021March 15, 2021 Vinterd

It can often feel like the world of death/doom for all of its potential excellence and glory to be had within its deeply emotional themes can sound oddly monotone in the wrong hands. It takes true craftsmen to really weave … Continue reading Woe Unto Me – Spiral-Shaped Hopewreck

ShiMa – Vol.02

March 28, 2021March 15, 2021 Vinterd

The eternal waves of psychedelia are the likes of which I wish to surf forever, and if you know anything about me then you know my love for that ethereal excellence in an instrumental form is some of my favorite … Continue reading ShiMa – Vol.02

Ultra Void – s/t

March 27, 2021March 10, 2021 Vinterd

Back when metal was in its very infancy, it was a fuzz-filled world of riffs that were constantly teetering between the lines of some amazingly groovy hard rock and a certain something else entirely that would eventually blossom into the … Continue reading Ultra Void – s/t

Grab – The Inevitable Filth of Mankind

March 26, 2021March 23, 2021 Vinterd

It’s no secret that a significant portion of the black metal scene is still very much entrenched in its old-school ways. That’s far from a bad thing, but it’s led to some bands very much sounding the same and, thus, … Continue reading Grab – The Inevitable Filth of Mankind

Neptunian Maximalism – Solar Drone Ceremony

March 25, 2021March 10, 2021 Vinterd

When last year dolled out the utterly massive effort from the mysterious entity known as Neptunian Maximalism (NNMM for short) known as “Éons”, I think it’s safe to say that no one was prepared for the over two-hour long experience … Continue reading Neptunian Maximalism – Solar Drone Ceremony
