Intronaut – Fluid Existential Inversions

February 25, 2020February 21, 2020 Vinterd

The sheer amount of progressive acts out there that actually try to push the boundaries of their respective styles is not small whatsoever by any means, but it’s a mere fraction of those that actually pull it off in such … Continue reading Intronaut – Fluid Existential Inversions

Xpus – In Umbra Mortis Sedent

February 24, 2020February 21, 2020 Vinterd

The general nastiness of death metal is something that the style has been known for decades at this point, and it’s a pre-requisite for any band of the style more than anything. But, that doesn’t mean it’s done well by … Continue reading Xpus – In Umbra Mortis Sedent

Neaera – s/t

February 23, 2020February 21, 2020 Vinterd

To stand out in any crowd that’s constantly overflowing with new material, you need to do something that makes you stand out from that crowd. Some bands try to do something crazy in order to shine like a flashlight in … Continue reading Neaera – s/t

Oratory – IV

February 22, 2020February 21, 2020 Vinterd

Ye Banished Privateers – Hostis Humani Generis

February 20, 2020February 8, 2020 Vinterd

Dragunov – Arkhipov

February 19, 2020February 8, 2020 Vinterd

The very concept of instrumental metal is one that’s about as original as instrumental rock, but it’s quite more difficult to pull off more so than it’s rock counterpart simply because while heaviness on its own is something that can … Continue reading Dragunov – Arkhipov

Raspberry Bulbs – Before the Age of Mirrors

February 18, 2020February 8, 2020 Vinterd

Murder Castle – The Black Widow

February 17, 2020February 8, 2020 Vinterd

It’s most of the time that I find myself listening to the extreme ends of speed when it comes to metal I enjoy the most whether it be something blisteringly fast or amazingly slow, and it’s not often whatsoever that … Continue reading Murder Castle – The Black Widow

Zayn – You

February 16, 2020February 8, 2020 Vinterd
