Ortega – Sacred States

November 28, 2016November 29, 2016 Vinterd

 When you’re somebody like me who’s constantly on the search for new jams for whatever reason at the time may be, you’re gonna come across something truly unexpected if you search long and hard enough. Doom is possibly one of … Continue reading Ortega – Sacred States

Set Before Us – Enigmas

November 27, 2016November 28, 2016 Vinterd

 I’m the kind of person that needs a break every now and then. By break in this instance I mean I want the occasional breather from what I typically listen to, but nothing drastically different. When that urge strikes me I … Continue reading Set Before Us – Enigmas

Einherjer – Dragons of the North XX

November 26, 2016November 27, 2016 Vinterd

 I’ve always had massive respect for Einherjer simply because I feel they were one of the first bands of the, at the time, practically brand new style that is viking metal. Yet, I’ve never really been able to get into … Continue reading Einherjer – Dragons of the North XX

Iron Reagan – A Dying World (single)

November 25, 2016 Vinterd

 I’ve honestly never bee able to truly get into much about the greater part of the punk music scene despite multiple efforts, but no matter what Iron Reagan never ceased to entertain. A classic definition of what it means to … Continue reading Iron Reagan – A Dying World (single)

Sorrowful Land – Of Ruins…

November 24, 2016November 25, 2016 Vinterd

 I’m as much of a fan of the absolutely fucking crushing intensity that doom metal can pump out that can also be slower than the line at the DMV, but every now and then calls for a change of pace. … Continue reading Sorrowful Land – Of Ruins…

Death, MetalLeave a comment

Conceived By Hate – Death & Beyond

November 23, 2016November 24, 2016 Vinterd

 Little beats that feeling of good death metal. I don’t mean another cookie cutter band to make its way out of Gothenburg or some jackasses who want to copy and paste bands like Cannibal Corpse and slap a new name … Continue reading Conceived By Hate – Death & Beyond

Tardigrada – Emotionale Ödnis

November 22, 2016 Vinterd

 I sat down to look for an album today to talk words about and I was in the mood for black metal. No weak shit either I mean stuff that’s as aggressively in your face as it is spine chilling. … Continue reading Tardigrada – Emotionale Ödnis

L’Homme Absurde – Monsters

November 21, 2016November 22, 2016 Vinterd

 It goes without saying that there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of black metal bands in the world that take the atmospheric route with their music, and there’s nothing wrong with that. However, after hearing many, many efforts and … Continue reading L’Homme Absurde – Monsters

Enemy of Reality – Arakhne

November 20, 2016November 21, 2016 Vinterd

 There are many styles of metal that can easily be labeled as epic such as some might consider death metal to be epic and others claim that folk is more worthy of such a description. But I’m more… selective with … Continue reading Enemy of Reality – Arakhne

Metallica – Hardwired… To Self-Destruct

November 19, 2016November 19, 2016 Vinterd

 The return of easily the most polarizing and divisive bands in all of the metal world has returned. Many dread it, many hyped it up, and some of us simply waited and investigated when the time was right. Metallica has … Continue reading Metallica – Hardwired… To Self-Destruct
