Skognatt – Autumn Skies

April 13, 2020April 9, 2020 Vinterd

I could sit here all day about the very up and down nature about everything that is atmospheric black metal. It’s something that I’ve talked about in length, and can easily become something that can be as entrancing as it … Continue reading Skognatt – Autumn Skies

Kanaan – Double Sun

April 12, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Over the years, one of my absolute favorite styles to dive into whenever I want something that almost never fails me is the realm of instrumental psychedelic rock. It’s always a mouthful to say, but it always elicits a specific … Continue reading Kanaan – Double Sun

Vaar – As Dusk Fell

April 11, 2020April 4, 2020 Vinterd

To dive into the world of atmospheric black metal is to prepare yourself to inevitably find a lot of material that sounds the same simply because the style has become so oversaturated. Now, that can be just as much a … Continue reading Vaar – As Dusk Fell

LáGoon – Maa Kali Trip

April 10, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

The sheer number of bands that have come around ever since the arrival of legendary acts like AC/DC that have tried to emulate that exact same sound is absolutely staggering still to this day. For the vast majority of them, … Continue reading LáGoon – Maa Kali Trip

Sonologyst – Ancient Death Cults and Beliefs

April 8, 2020April 2, 2020 Vinterd

If you’re going to want to listen to any sort ambient, it’s really best to just stop trying to find a new act and, instead, go to someone who has been doing it for so long and has knowledge of … Continue reading Sonologyst – Ancient Death Cults and Beliefs

Ephemeral – VII

April 7, 2020April 2, 2020 Vinterd

There is a very tricky thing to the seemingly easy concept that is melodic death metal, but it only occurs if you don’t want to go the “easy” route of just taking straight death metal and shoving a ton of … Continue reading Ephemeral – VII

Warbringer – Weapons of Tomorrow

April 6, 2020March 28, 2020 Vinterd

Thrash metal is, sadly, one of those styles that I just don’t have much luck with when it comes in its purest form without being molded with black or death metal. I can recall maybe two albums at most in … Continue reading Warbringer – Weapons of Tomorrow

Death Courier – Necrotic Verses

April 5, 2020March 28, 2020 Vinterd

It’s normally when I find myself stumbling through the Greek metal scene it’s thrash metal that I find myself listening to more often than not, but their death metal scene is much more than noteworthy as there’s always something that … Continue reading Death Courier – Necrotic Verses
