Temple Koludra – Seven! Sirens! To A Lost Archetype

April 21, 2019 Vinterd

More often than not, whenever I want to lose myself in an album I typically go to any of three styles: psychedelic rock (usually instrumental), ambient, or psych doom. It was last night that the third provided me with an … Continue reading Temple Koludra – Seven! Sirens! To A Lost Archetype

Zaum – Divination

April 21, 2019 Vinterd

A setting that’s always entranced me is the deep jungle. Full of life with plenty of secrets held within both made by man and nature Herself, there’s plenty to find. It’s not often by any means that I find myself … Continue reading Zaum – Divination

Mork – Det Svarte Juv

April 19, 2019April 20, 2019 Vinterd

It’s with pretty much every style that I’ve come across that I’ve been lucky enough to find a good number of acts that really intrigue me and get my attention. For many, black metal is adorned by the likes of … Continue reading Mork – Det Svarte Juv

Witchlords – Demons in the Dark

April 18, 2019April 19, 2019 Vinterd

Over the course of the last five years, I feel I’ve done a pretty solid job at doing a decent spread of the different styles of metal that have come to interest me in my time. But, it goes without … Continue reading Witchlords – Demons in the Dark

Stellar Master Elite – Hologram Temple

April 17, 2019April 18, 2019 Vinterd

More often than not, the combination of black and doom metal is enough to get me through just about any album of its kind that you throw before me. It’s a combination that usually works out really well for most … Continue reading Stellar Master Elite – Hologram Temple

Legendarium – Astral Firestorm

April 16, 2019April 17, 2019 Vinterd

There have been many occasions where I come to an album and find the instruments to be perfectly acceptable from top to bottom and then the vocals come in and they just simply don’t work. More often than not, it’s … Continue reading Legendarium – Astral Firestorm

Esoctrilihum – The Telluric Ashes Of The Ö Vrth Immemorial Gods

April 16, 2019 Vinterd

It wasn’t too long ago that I brought up how some musicians seemingly don’t know when to sleep. It’s hard enough for a peon like myself to even conceptualize how to create the most basic song with some casual riffing … Continue reading Esoctrilihum – The Telluric Ashes Of The Ö Vrth Immemorial Gods

Bright Curse – Time of the Healer

April 15, 2019December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Skimming the surface of many releases that end up quite popular on Bandcamp, I’ve come to recognize a pretty consistent trend that I must bright to light yet again: when done right, heavy psych can be the sort of thing … Continue reading Bright Curse – Time of the Healer

Ancalagon – Noctopoth

April 13, 2019April 14, 2019 Vinterd

Melody is the sort of thing that permeates just about every band we’ve come across no matter how ridiculous or benign they are in their performances, it’s what helps tie everything together – it’s one of the most basic ideas … Continue reading Ancalagon – Noctopoth

Cloudwaters – s/t

April 12, 2019April 8, 2019 Vinterd

There have been many times that I’ve sat down to listen to ambient music or material (whatever you wanna fucking call it) that I’ve sat down and expected to simply be taken. No rhythms – just pure sound that’s a … Continue reading Cloudwaters – s/t
