Dawnwalker – Ages

December 14, 2020November 26, 2020 Vinterd

When it comes to straight progressive metal as far as this year goes, the stream has been quite slow for one reason or another in my case. It’s a style that has limitless possibilities with all that can be achieved … Continue reading Dawnwalker – Ages

Voreus – The Proclamation

December 13, 2020November 25, 2020 Vinterd

When it comes to the vast and unyielding realm of black/death metal, Triumvir Foul has been the high bar that I’ve had set for many other acts in the style for years now, and it is not often whatsoever that … Continue reading Voreus – The Proclamation

Eternal Champion – Ravening Iron

December 12, 2020November 25, 2020 Vinterd

When I was first getting into metal, I vividly remember that the first classic act that I first latched onto was that of Manowar. Their sound has had a massive impact on my taste as a metalhead, and that still … Continue reading Eternal Champion – Ravening Iron

Decaying Days – The Unknown Beyond

December 11, 2020November 24, 2020 Vinterd

A strong melodic factor is something that people are constantly gravitating towards across all the different styles in all of metal with how accessible it is right from the beginning, and it’s over the decades that bands have taken that … Continue reading Decaying Days – The Unknown Beyond

Farer – Monad

December 10, 2020November 23, 2020 Vinterd

The implementation of noise into metal is, more often than not as far as I’ve noticed, something that tends to be left to the realms of black metal with the harsh sounds molding well together for a potent set of … Continue reading Farer – Monad

Bestial Warfare – Desecrating Goat Assault

December 9, 2020November 22, 2020 Vinterd

It’s oftentimes that we can find the best works are the ones that don’t do anything new for the most part with black and death metal being a constant union that’s been awesome to behold for a long time now, … Continue reading Bestial Warfare – Desecrating Goat Assault

Karkara – Nowhere Land

December 8, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

It’s in the ever-expanding reaches of psychedelic rock that we can always rely on finding new acts that are doing everything from the same shit that we got back in the 70s, or even before, to challenging what the scene … Continue reading Karkara – Nowhere Land

Nebula Orionis – Aether

December 7, 2020November 19, 2020 Vinterd

It’s hard to think of an area where the seemingly endless expanse of atmospheric black metal could end by any means with it feeling like every other band has been doing their best to push the boundaries of the style … Continue reading Nebula Orionis – Aether

Moloch Conspiracy – The Inner Fear

December 6, 2020November 18, 2020 Vinterd

It’s every now and then that we find ourselves in needing of a change. For me, when it comes to music, that need for change tends to come from hearing something different. Ambient has long been my go-to for that … Continue reading Moloch Conspiracy – The Inner Fear

Korpsesoturi – Korpskrist

December 5, 2020November 18, 2020 Vinterd

The progression of any band as they rise through the hierarchy of any scene is always something fun to watch, and that tends to go doubly so when it comes to extreme metal. When I first came across Korpsesoturi on … Continue reading Korpsesoturi – Korpskrist
