March 28, 2019March 29, 2019 Vinterd

Allegaeon – Apoptosis

March 27, 2019December 31, 2020 Vinterd

Soliloquium – Contemplations

March 26, 2019 Vinterd

Equaleft – We Defy

March 24, 2019March 25, 2019 Vinterd

HateVirus – Hateful Mind

March 23, 2019 Vinterd

Whenever I think of anything progressive in the world of metal, my brain tends to lean towards acts like Gojira or Allegaeon who have really pushed the modern limits for the style and thus have individually garnered throngs of fans. … Continue reading HateVirus – Hateful Mind
