Meschera – Zhatva

June 19, 2023June 17, 2023 Vinterd

Oromet – s/t

June 16, 2023June 9, 2023 Vinterd

Here, I thought the best thing to come out of funeral doom metal, or even just long-form doom in general, that we would get this year would be the new creation from Bell Witch for obvious reasons. I find myself … Continue reading Oromet – s/t

Okwaho – The Usurper Regime

June 14, 2023June 3, 2023 Vinterd

Yawning Balch – Volume One

June 13, 2023June 3, 2023 Vinterd

Usnea – Bathed in Light

June 12, 2023June 2, 2023 Vinterd

As one of the original bands that showed me what all was possible from the world of funeral doom metal, this is a return that I have been anticipating for years now. It has been far too long since we … Continue reading Usnea – Bathed in Light
