Chugger – Of Man and Machine

March 6, 2020February 21, 2020 Vinterd

Five years can really seem like it goes by without much thought but also feels like forever when music is the topic of discussion, and that’s especially when it involves a band you’re eagerly awaiting new material from. Chugger put … Continue reading Chugger – Of Man and Machine

Symbolik – Emergence

March 4, 2020December 31, 2020 Vinterd

Putrid – Antichrist Above

March 3, 2020February 21, 2020 Vinterd

I find myself enjoying thrash metal a lot more often when it’s paired together with something like black or death metal, or even punk. It just takes on a life that’s much more interesting to my ears in such a … Continue reading Putrid – Antichrist Above

Conquest Icon – Empire of the Worm

March 2, 2020February 21, 2020 Vinterd

The grimy rotting log on the forest floor that is the deepest-most regions of the landscape of the death metal underground is eternally thriving with bands that are more than worthy of commendation if we’re just willing enough to search … Continue reading Conquest Icon – Empire of the Worm

Gigafauna – Frozen Wastes

March 1, 2020February 21, 2020 Vinterd

Monumentum Damnati – In the Tomb of a Forgotten King

February 29, 2020February 26, 2020 Vinterd

It’s been in the past year, give it or take a few months, that I’ve found myself seemingly swamped by the likes of death/doom and all that the style has to offer nowadays, and I’m very okay with the fact … Continue reading Monumentum Damnati – In the Tomb of a Forgotten King

Elder – Omens

February 28, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Experimentation is something that I praise very highly in any sort of band whether they be new or old, experienced or as fresh as could be, or having only dipped their toes in one style versus constantly trying new things … Continue reading Elder – Omens

Drown – Subaqueous

February 27, 2020February 27, 2020 Vinterd

How do I even approach this album after looking forward to it for practically two years now? I vividly remember just a few months after Tchornobog’s impact learning that the mastermind behind it all had changed his funeral doom act’s … Continue reading Drown – Subaqueous

Planet of the Dead – Fear of a Dead Planet

February 26, 2020February 21, 2020 Vinterd

Possibly, my favorite thing about doom is just how thick it can easily be or become at the drop of a hat because why the fuck not? It’s absolutely awesome when it’s done right and something that can really catch … Continue reading Planet of the Dead – Fear of a Dead Planet
