 Every so often, there’s a word that gets thrown around way too much in the metal, rock, heavy, etc. industry and it gets extremely old extremely fucking quick. Nowadays, that word is “post”. People just tack it onto every to call something … Continue reading Ordeal & Plight – s/t

Nova Collective – The Further Side

March 4, 2017August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 Jazz has always been one of those styles that I’ve always wanted to get into simply because of how intrinsic and out-of-this-world the music always feels to me. For some reason, can’t get into it. So, maybe some fusion would … Continue reading Nova Collective – The Further Side

The Fre3 Bastards – In Our World of Bastards

March 3, 2017 Vinterd

 Hardly anyone in today’s world of serious music knows how to have true fun anymore. If they do, it’s rarely reflected in the music. Few bands have that garage feel in their music anymore, and if you want that you … Continue reading The Fre3 Bastards – In Our World of Bastards

Black Mirrors – Funky Queen

Ashen Horde – The Alchemist

February 27, 2017February 28, 2017 Vinterd

 If you ask me how I feel about the idea of B-side tracks, I’d say it’s a very unfortunate thing albeit necessary. I’ve always found it best when band’s make it known that they’ve always something we’ve never heard. Some … Continue reading Ashen Horde – The Alchemist

Kashgar – s/t

February 26, 2017February 27, 2017 Vinterd
