Ruby the Hatchet – Planetary Space Child

September 9, 2017December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 There’s an absolute bounty of bands out there that have mastered the craft of psychedelic rock by taking the style to places that you can only travel to via the style itself, and that’s helped me grow as a music lover … Continue reading Ruby the Hatchet – Planetary Space Child

Myrkur – Mareridt

September 8, 2017 Vinterd

 Ever since the inception of Myrkur’s eponymous debut years ago, this woman had my attention and interest. Despite all the stuff surrounding her and her work, I personally couldn’t give two shits about it, and I’m thankful for that because … Continue reading Myrkur – Mareridt

Bütcher – Bestial Fükkin’ Warmachine

September 7, 2017 Vinterd

 Of all the styles that I listen to, perhaps the one that has the most amount of bands that try and fail miserably is undoubtedly thrash. Inspired by the likes of the Big Four, it seems so many metal heads … Continue reading Bütcher – Bestial Fükkin’ Warmachine

Usnea – Portals into Futility

September 6, 2017 Vinterd

 As one of the newer bands to come out of the murky realm of doom metal, Usnea has already proven themselves to be more than capable of providing quality metal that plenty can enjoy. Yet much like every band that … Continue reading Usnea – Portals into Futility

Fragarak – A Spectral Oblivion

September 5, 2017 Vinterd

 The biggest challenge that faces the newer generations of metal bands is proving themselves. It’s one thing to throw down a record, go with a sound, and do your best to capitalize on it. But it’s a whole other beast … Continue reading Fragarak – A Spectral Oblivion

Isenblåst – Screams in Cold Silence

September 4, 2017September 5, 2017 Vinterd

 The old school of black metal is one that has diminished over the decades, and I can’t tell you how many bands there are out there that try and fail to replicate the classic sound. The only band to do … Continue reading Isenblåst – Screams in Cold Silence

Mesmur – S

September 3, 2017September 4, 2017 Vinterd

Purtenance – Paradox of Existence

September 2, 2017September 3, 2017 Vinterd

 The realm of Scandinavia is one that will likely never cease to disappoint when it comes down to metal as it’s one of the densest places on the planet for a ratio of metal bands to the population as a whole. … Continue reading Purtenance – Paradox of Existence

Cripper – Follow Me: Kill!

September 1, 2017September 2, 2017 Vinterd

 I am more than willing for a band to try and blend together genre lines as it can lead to something unique as well as entertaining, and it’s especially prevalent in metal which is something that I truly enjoy with … Continue reading Cripper – Follow Me: Kill!

Overoth – The Forgotten Tome

August 31, 2017September 1, 2017 Vinterd

 Any sort of period of no new material from a band can be quite excruciating for both the band members and fans alike for several obvious reasons on both sides. To go seven whole years without a single new note … Continue reading Overoth – The Forgotten Tome
