Soulskinner – Descent to Abaddon

April 4, 2017April 5, 2017 Vinterd

 Metal has reached pretty much every spot on the planet, that much we all can say without a doubt. And with that, there are currently some countries that are still growing their scenes and becoming more established in the global … Continue reading Soulskinner – Descent to Abaddon

Lucidreams – Ballox

April 3, 2017April 3, 2017 Vinterd

 Heavy metal as a style has taken many forms over the last decades that much can’t be questioned, but the current state of the original sound is something that I always keep in mind. Simply because I want to know … Continue reading Lucidreams – Ballox

Riffocity – Under A Mourning Sky

April 2, 2017April 3, 2017 Vinterd

 As someone who’s always ready to hear a fresh new riff waft my way any day of the week, seeing a band named Riffocity seems (a) cheesy and (b) a possibly really great idea! Add on the fact that this … Continue reading Riffocity – Under A Mourning Sky

Mastodon – Emperor of Sand

April 1, 2017April 2, 2017 Vinterd

 Easily one of the most influential bands of all modern progressive metal and several other styles, Mastodon has been all over the place with the band becoming nigh-on legendary and its members being in throngs of other bands. I’ve personally … Continue reading Mastodon – Emperor of Sand

Lunar MGC – Planet Geisha

March 31, 2017December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 By far the most entrancing style that I’ve ever come across while doing this review bullshit has easily got to be psychedelic rock. Mainly because it grabs every single part about the human imagination in ways that takes to whole … Continue reading Lunar MGC – Planet Geisha

The Sarcophagus – Beyond This World’s Illusion

March 30, 2017March 31, 2017 Vinterd

 There’s not much to say about the blasphemous genre that is black metal, especially if you’ve heard it before. It’s gone through throngs of changes stylistically to make it one of if not the most diverse style of all metal. … Continue reading The Sarcophagus – Beyond This World’s Illusion

Gruesome – Fragments of Psyche

March 29, 2017 Vinterd

 The legendary Flordia death group of Death has undoubtedly left its mark upon the world of metal, and its reverberations are still felt very strongly even today. The best tribute to come out in the last few years to my … Continue reading Gruesome – Fragments of Psyche

Harlott – Extinction

March 28, 2017March 29, 2017 Vinterd

 Bay area thrash is one of the most well-known veins of thrash metal in the entire world to a point where it’s not just restricted to the titular Bay area anymore. Oh no! Even all the way in Australia the … Continue reading Harlott – Extinction

Doom, Metal1 Comment

Pallbearer – Heartless

March 27, 2017March 28, 2017 Vinterd

 I’ve no idea what it is, but there’s just something about doom metal that when you take away the crushing heaviness and then put it in the right hands it becomes this classic sounding slab of metal that’s all but … Continue reading Pallbearer – Heartless

Norse – The Divine Light of A New Sun

March 26, 2017March 27, 2017 Vinterd

 Norse was easily the band that showed me how dynamic Australia’s metal scene was when I was still a budding metalhead a few years ago. Their last record of “Pest” left a good impression and many including myself have been … Continue reading Norse – The Divine Light of A New Sun
