Warchest – Downfall

January 8, 2016 Vinterd

 I’m just gonna tell you right up front in full honesty, this was bad to me at first. I really didn’t like it because I thought it was boring and it just didn’t have that same feel that thrash normally … Continue reading Warchest – Downfall

Napalm Death – Apex Predator – Easy Meat

December 31, 2015 Vinterd

 I’ve never really been one for grindcore as to me it sounds like vomit someone just shat out because it has no form and it’s just a mess nine times out of ten to me. But one of my friends … Continue reading Napalm Death – Apex Predator – Easy Meat

Akasava – Strange Aeons

December 30, 2015December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 There are so many different hybrid genres out there in the world of metal alone that it’s nigh impossible to keep up with each and every one of them. New ones are made up every single day with another album … Continue reading Akasava – Strange Aeons

Anopheli – The Ache of Want

December 28, 2015 Vinterd

 I don’t usually listen to crust metal as typically for me it just doesn’t work well as it just sounds like a mess, but I’ve never been one to shy away from trying something more than once so when I … Continue reading Anopheli – The Ache of Want

Dogsflesh – So Fucked Up (single)

December 26, 2015 Vinterd

 Crossing over different genres can sometimes be fantastic as blackened death is a good mix along with punk and hardcore. The latter of those two combos are just what Dogsflesh have been doing for over 20 years, so you’d think … Continue reading Dogsflesh – So Fucked Up (single)

Escape is not Freedom – The Truants

December 25, 2015 Vinterd

 Grunge is one of those genres to me where if someone brings it up I’d rather not listen to it, but I’m not afraid to try it out. Know what I mean? You gotta be in the right mindset and … Continue reading Escape is not Freedom – The Truants

Havukruunu – Havulinnaan

December 23, 2015 Vinterd

 Looking at that cover art you should immediately think “black metal” simply because that is as dark and bleak as any other black metal album cover out there and it’s just fantastic let’s all admit it. I’ve heard more than … Continue reading Havukruunu – Havulinnaan
