Dungeon Weed – Mind Palace of the Mushroom God

January 3, 2021December 19, 2020 Vinterd

If you were to look at the doom scene as a whole, you would almost immediately notice some trends. Whether they be related to the sound itself between albums or the similarities between band names with words like weed, mammoth, … Continue reading Dungeon Weed – Mind Palace of the Mushroom God

Severoth – Vsesvit

January 2, 2021December 18, 2020 Vinterd

Each style has many pillars that we can constantly find the entirety of that sound resting on at all times with the many ideals, techniques, and variations that one can contain being what uphold it all through all sorts of … Continue reading Severoth – Vsesvit

Sepulcros – Vazio

January 1, 2021December 8, 2020 Vinterd

It’s more often than not that we find metal coming from the same set of countries, but it’s when you put in a little bit of elbow grease and go outside the normal boundaries that you tend to find greatness … Continue reading Sepulcros – Vazio

Sorcier Des Glaces – Un Monde de Glace et de Sang

December 31, 2020December 18, 2020 Vinterd

When it comes to the representation of Canadian black metal, there’s no other band that should come faster to our minds than Sorcier Des Glaces. The band’s run has been no less than staggering with a massive catalog slowly being … Continue reading Sorcier Des Glaces – Un Monde de Glace et de Sang

BruteAllies – Ash and Nails

December 30, 2020December 17, 2020 Vinterd

Simplicity can often be the greatest tool that any band of any style can wield. It’s what drags many people into the new single on the radio or what keeps us listening to an album that’s filled with simplistic but … Continue reading BruteAllies – Ash and Nails

Hand of Kalliach – Shade Beyond

December 29, 2020December 17, 2020 Vinterd

It’s very hard to find folk metal bands out there that feel actually worth talking about. Oftentimes, we see bands take easy routes to create material that is loosely folk metal but rather something that comes across like gimmicky black … Continue reading Hand of Kalliach – Shade Beyond

Funeral Winds – Essence

December 28, 2020December 16, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not very often that we can find ourselves bands that have been around since a time that was extremely short after the creation of an entire style, and it’s with black metal that we occasionally get such a treat. … Continue reading Funeral Winds – Essence

Devils Reef – Chosen by the Sea

December 27, 2020December 31, 2020 Vinterd

With it being one of the most popular forms of death metal in this day and age, there really should be more attention given to the very bottom of the seething underground from which countless tech-death acts are constantly crawling … Continue reading Devils Reef – Chosen by the Sea

Gjoad – Samanōn

December 26, 2020December 15, 2020 Vinterd

To come across an album with a wondrous atmosphere is something that many of us think is a lot rarer than what it actually is, but it is nonetheless a boon whose value never wanes. It’s more often than not … Continue reading Gjoad – Samanōn

Exsul – s/t

December 25, 2020December 9, 2020 Vinterd

To scour through the very bottom layers of the underground to find the next act worth talking about is like finding which soul locked in hell wants to escape the most. Every single one of them believes themselves to be … Continue reading Exsul – s/t
