Progenie Terrestre Pura – starCross

June 5, 2018October 11, 2025 Vinterd

 Last year, the spacial entity known as Progenie Terrestre Pura took us on yet another trip across the cosmos. It was beautiful, intense, and an absolute joy to listen to that still permeates the album to this day. The band had … Continue reading Progenie Terrestre Pura – starCross

Mongrel’s Cross – Psalter of the Royal Dragon Court

June 4, 2018 Vinterd

 Thrash has always been a tricky style for me to get into because there isn’t a lot of variation with regular thrash, death-, and black-infused being the three I’ve really only been able to come across. It’s far from a … Continue reading Mongrel’s Cross – Psalter of the Royal Dragon Court

Arkveid – s/t

June 3, 2018June 4, 2018 Vinterd

 It’s a slight bit of a rarity to come across bands that can bring together the worlds of doom and folk metal in such a way that the ensuing material can truly be labeled as an engaging experience. Agalloch and … Continue reading Arkveid – s/t

Geisterfels – La névrose de la pierre

June 2, 2018June 3, 2018 Vinterd

 France is far from a country that is new to the world of metal as a whole with several notable acts coming from within its borders in recent years, namely Gojira. Yet, with the black metal act of Ende easily … Continue reading Geisterfels – La névrose de la pierre

Three Left – The Calling

June 1, 2018 Vinterd

 There is this incredibly thin line that separates metal and rock that many bands tread for to either test their capabilities as musicians or simply because that’s what the band wants to play. I’ve found that a supreme amount of … Continue reading Three Left – The Calling

Veldes – Storm Borrower

May 31, 2018June 1, 2018 Vinterd

 There are very few instances where I would ever label a band as underrated simply because I know how often the term gets thrown around. It really gets annoying sometimes, but if there is any single act out there that … Continue reading Veldes – Storm Borrower

Prime Alone – The Great Art of Self-Destruction

May 30, 2018August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 There exists a band that I have only known for about four years but have grown to love just about everything they do: Kauan. They went for a while as something that could be likened to Agalloch by some, but … Continue reading Prime Alone – The Great Art of Self-Destruction

Isa – Chimera

May 29, 2018December 31, 2020 Vinterd

 The weird world of progressive death metal is one that I feel like deserves much more attention and should also be a much more saturated style. It’ll allow for bands who enjoy their death to take it to unforeseen landscapes … Continue reading Isa – Chimera

The Howling Eye – Sonorous

May 28, 2018December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 There’s a certain flavor that I certainly can’t get enough of whenever I’m referring to some tasty doom or rock that really grips me from start to finish. It’s a very specific thing but extremely hard to execute properly: psychedelia. … Continue reading The Howling Eye – Sonorous

Pandrador – Śmierci Baldura

May 27, 2018May 28, 2018 Vinterd

 The two worlds of death metal and Norse mythology tend to overlap one another quite often, and if you’re not ready for it you’re more than likely to be surprised by another out of nowhere. It’s been a while since … Continue reading Pandrador – Śmierci Baldura
