Stortregn – Impermanence

January 23, 2021January 14, 2021 Vinterd

It’s every now and then that we get an album that really does challenge my previous conception of what I thought I was getting myself into, and it’s pretty much every single time that I find myself enjoying having my … Continue reading Stortregn – Impermanence

Exorcizphobia – Digitotality

January 22, 2021January 9, 2021 Vinterd

There’s nothing quite like a pure thrash metal experience that can make the rebel inside us all rise up and join the party to tear down the walls and cause destruction. Sadly, there aren’t many works of that variety that … Continue reading Exorcizphobia – Digitotality

January 21, 2021January 21, 2021 Vinterd

Yoth Iria – As The Flame Withers

January 20, 2021January 7, 2021 Vinterd

It’s not terribly unoften to see surprising material come from unsurprising sources. There will always be musicians from great bands that are still running today that haven’t played in them for however long that still have the itch to perform, … Continue reading Yoth Iria – As The Flame Withers

Breath – Primeval Transmissions

January 19, 2021January 7, 2021 Vinterd

Blackjack Mountain – Holding Time

January 18, 2021January 7, 2021 Vinterd

When it comes to worthwhile pieces of heavy rock, heavy psych, doom rock, or anything that could be categorized as such in any way, there truly is no shortage in this modern golden age for the style. It’s been a … Continue reading Blackjack Mountain – Holding Time

Morpholith – Null Dimensions

January 17, 2021January 3, 2021 Vinterd

When it comes to psychedelia in some of its heaviest forms, doom metal is one of the best vessels to deliver that excellence and it’s no task whatsoever to see why that’s the case. It hasn’t been since Zaum’s last … Continue reading Morpholith – Null Dimensions

Begravement – Conjuring the Necromancer

January 16, 2021January 2, 2021 Vinterd

The very seething underbelly of the underground that death metal calls home is one of the most interesting places simply because you rarely know what you’re going to find. There’s everything from an extremely fresh and young act with not … Continue reading Begravement – Conjuring the Necromancer

Psychlona – Venus Skytrip

January 15, 2021January 8, 2021 Vinterd

You know, what? Hindsight is a real son of a bitch in all respects. If I had only known that Psychlona had released a new album what has almost been five months at this point, I would’ve been on it … Continue reading Psychlona – Venus Skytrip

Phase Transition – Relatively Speaking

January 14, 2021January 2, 2021 Vinterd

To create an enthralling piece of progressive metal is to think outside of the box in an already out-of-the-box style. It’s incredibly difficult to do even though the style is prime real estate for innovation given its very nature, but … Continue reading Phase Transition – Relatively Speaking
