Primitive Man – Caustic

September 29, 2017September 30, 2017 Vinterd

 The more and more that I delve into the haunting realm of noise, the more I become entranced by it. It’s the sort of thing that takes quite an imagination and a strong will to try and achieve. I’ve seen … Continue reading Primitive Man – Caustic

Corpse Garden – IAO 269

September 28, 2017September 29, 2017 Vinterd

 Whenever I think of death metal I typically think of American or Scandinavian bands as they’re the ones that dominate the global scene of death metal by a massive lead. But what about the representation of undeath in other countries? … Continue reading Corpse Garden – IAO 269

Inconcessus Lux Lucis – The Crowning Quietus

September 27, 2017 Vinterd

 Inconcessus Lux Lucis is one of those bands that I heard during the first months of me doing reviews where I really didn’t have a fucking clue at what I was doing. I’ve made it a personal goal of mine … Continue reading Inconcessus Lux Lucis – The Crowning Quietus

Haemorrhage – We Are the Gore

September 26, 2017September 27, 2017 Vinterd

 The late 80s was an absolute breeding ground for all sorts of metal, and grind was one of those that while it never met as much acclaim as death metal, it still made its impact on the masses. And while … Continue reading Haemorrhage – We Are the Gore

Birth of the Monolith – s/t

September 25, 2017 Vinterd

 There’s a tricky thing that new bands have to try and conquer in order to get a proper foothold in the world, and it’s nothing more than having a good sound. Sure, that sounds fucking stupid and practically trivial. But … Continue reading Birth of the Monolith – s/t

Precipices – La Pénombre de L’agir

September 24, 2017September 25, 2017 Vinterd

 The sound of black metal has always been one that has always been dependent on the setting of the music to really set the tone for the ensuing chaos. Many go for a forest setting, others space, and more go … Continue reading Precipices – La Pénombre de L’agir

Vacivus – Temple of the Abyss

September 23, 2017September 24, 2017 Vinterd

 The underground of the global metal scene has been one of my favorite places to visit ever since I discovered it when I was but a wee lad searching for what metal had to offer. During my searches, I stumbled … Continue reading Vacivus – Temple of the Abyss

Kauan – Kaiho

September 22, 2017September 23, 2017 Vinterd

The Black Dahlia Murder – Nightbringers

September 21, 2017 Vinterd

 A band that has the capacity and will to do seemingly nothing except create one smashing album after another whilst almost always on tour earns a bit of reprieve after a while, correct? I feel that’s a given if a … Continue reading The Black Dahlia Murder – Nightbringers

Widziadło – Void

September 20, 2017September 21, 2017 Vinterd

 With each style of metal comes a specific environment that can fit each style quite nicely. Doom metal gets places akin to a graveyard at dusk where the fog covers the ground, death metal gets a slaughterhouse that has blood … Continue reading Widziadło – Void
