God Dethroned – Illuminati

February 1, 2020January 24, 2020 Vinterd

There are many, many different flavors of death metal out there to where we really do have the luxury of picking and choosing just what exactly what we want to listen to whenever we want. But, the great majority of … Continue reading God Dethroned – Illuminati

Harbinger of Storms – Jupiter

January 31, 2020January 23, 2020 Vinterd

If you look closely, or not that close at all, really, you might notice that there is somewhat of an unintended war going on between many bands that inhabit the land of doom metal whether bands or listeners know it … Continue reading Harbinger of Storms – Jupiter

Itnuveth – Enuma Elish

January 30, 2020January 27, 2020 Vinterd

A lot of times, I find myself preferring bands to switch up their sound even if it’s by the smallest bit as they progress from album to album, but it’s on a rare occasion that sometimes it just fucking works … Continue reading Itnuveth – Enuma Elish

Electric Moon – Mind Explosion

January 29, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

It wasn’t really until a few years ago with my favorite album to date from The Re-Stoned, “Stories of the Astral Lizard”, that I discovered just how good long-winded instrumental psych-rock can get, and it’s been such a treat to … Continue reading Electric Moon – Mind Explosion

Eighth Tower Records – Drone Islands – The Lost Maps

January 28, 2020January 21, 2020 Vinterd

There have been plenty of times that I’ve dove into the world of drone and found loads of enjoyment out of the strangely meditative works that are in a world all of their own every time they’re played. One of … Continue reading Eighth Tower Records – Drone Islands – The Lost Maps

Spectral Lore / Mare Cognitum – Wanderers: Astrology of the Nine

January 27, 2020January 21, 2020 Vinterd

Just seven years ago, it was these two legendary names in the world of atmospheric black metal that decided to join forces and create a split that’s still nigh-on seminal, “Sol”, that also acted as a marker of quality for … Continue reading Spectral Lore / Mare Cognitum – Wanderers: Astrology of the Nine

King Buffalo – Dead Star

January 26, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Where do I even start here? I’ve been sitting around just staring blankly at my computer screen trying to figure out the best way to start this shit off for far too long and I’m no closer to a good … Continue reading King Buffalo – Dead Star

Elder Druid – Golgotha

January 25, 2020January 17, 2020 Vinterd

A good visual can really draw you in way quicker than any piece of music if you’re a foolish person like me that judges an album based on the cover art before even listening to anything the work has to … Continue reading Elder Druid – Golgotha

Lux Luna – Mors Coronati Autumnus Est

January 24, 2020January 17, 2020 Vinterd

The amount of atmospheric black metal acts that are out and about in the current landscape of the scene can easily feel to be overwhelming, and that’s simply because it is. They absolutely overflow onto one another and it’s only … Continue reading Lux Luna – Mors Coronati Autumnus Est

Isles of Mars – s/t

January 23, 2020January 17, 2020 Vinterd

How often is it nowadays that we get a band that absolutely loves to listen to and play music that is heavily inspired by anything to have come out of the 70s? Extremely often, if you weren’t aware. But, it’s … Continue reading Isles of Mars – s/t
