Sutrah – Aletheia

January 22, 2020January 17, 2020 Vinterd

There will always be some bands that seemingly everyone has heard except you and a select few others, or it feels like that, at least. For me, my list runs quite long, longer than I’d like, and one of those … Continue reading Sutrah – Aletheia

Bannwald / Uruk-Hai / Druadan Forest – Kingdoms Long Gone

January 21, 2020January 15, 2020 Vinterd

Wardaemonic – Acts of Repentance

January 20, 2020January 15, 2020 Vinterd

Having your expectations of any given album can easily go either way as the band in question can deliver something that exceeds expectations just as easily as they could give us something that we feel is lacking. I’m always more … Continue reading Wardaemonic – Acts of Repentance

Vofa – s/t

January 19, 2020January 15, 2020 Vinterd

Blaze of Perdition – The Harrowing of Hearts

January 18, 2020January 14, 2020 Vinterd

Installing melody into your black metal is far from an original concept and hasn’t been for decades now, but there are some bands that can mix it all too well with their brand of ferocity to make for a concoction … Continue reading Blaze of Perdition – The Harrowing of Hearts

Medium – s/t

January 17, 2020January 14, 2020 Vinterd

Of all the different styles that I’ve listened to since starting these reviews, it has easily been grind that I’ve had the most difficulty getting into with some success with barely a handful of acts here and there that have … Continue reading Medium – s/t

Lesath – Sacred Ashes

January 16, 2020January 13, 2020 Vinterd

Creating post-black metal can be a really tricky thing to pull off because the musicians are always torn between siding on the post-metal side, the black metal side, or trying to balance the two in a way that can please … Continue reading Lesath – Sacred Ashes

Big Scenic Nowhere – Vision Beyond Horizon

January 15, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

If the entirety of the world of psychedelic rock, desert rock, or whatever else you want to call this would shut down for the entire rest of the year and we were only left with the first full-length album from … Continue reading Big Scenic Nowhere – Vision Beyond Horizon

Necrochaos – Crawling Through Cadavers

January 14, 2020January 9, 2020 Vinterd

The very bottom of the underground of death metal is very much like a rotting log in the forest. It looks like it could fall apart at any second, but there are thousands of little insects keeping it strong, sapping … Continue reading Necrochaos – Crawling Through Cadavers
