Kyng – Breathe In the Water

October 7, 2016 Vinterd

Sepulchral Curse – At the Onset of Extinction

October 6, 2016October 7, 2016 Vinterd

 There are a few countries out there in the world that if I wanted to do a world tour of the best places to see metal at its finest, I’d go to quite a few places. Sweden, India, Greece, and … Continue reading Sepulchral Curse – At the Onset of Extinction

King Hiss – Mastosaurus

October 5, 2016 Vinterd

 Of all the dumb things I do when searching for an album to investigate upon without looking at the corresponding band name, is I judge by the cover art alone. Terrible habit to acquire, but it’s hard to argue that … Continue reading King Hiss – Mastosaurus

October 4, 2016 Vinterd

 When it comes down to who literally dominates the metal scene of Bandcamp, there are quite a few names to be had. But with black metal, there are a few mammoths that constantly get the spotlight with every release: Saor, … Continue reading Mesarthim – .- -​.​.​. .​.​. . -. -​.​-​. .

Ulcerate – Shrines of Paralysis

October 3, 2016October 3, 2016 Vinterd

 I want you to imagine any pure death metal band out there that comes to your head. Cannibal Corpse, Autopsy, Morbid Angel; take your pick! Once you’re done, I want you to bust out a permanent marker because you’re gonna … Continue reading Ulcerate – Shrines of Paralysis

Mohraang – Underworld of Khorrendus

October 2, 2016October 3, 2016 Vinterd

 Much like how I think the cold, harsh lands of places like Canada and Scandinavia are some of the perfect places for any type of metal given how unforgiving environments they can be. Lately, you just don’t see a lot … Continue reading Mohraang – Underworld of Khorrendus

Candiria – While They Were Sleeping

October 1, 2016November 16, 2016 Vinterd

 I want you to imagine a band that is the reason the term “genre-bending” is a thing. I’m sure we’ve all got at least one we can think of. Got it? Magnificent. Now, I want to you get ready to … Continue reading Candiria – While They Were Sleeping

HammerFall – Hammer High (single)

September 30, 2016 Vinterd

 If you were to ask me who the current kings of power metal would be I’d have to say HammerFall undoubtedly. Yes, there’s many other great bands of its kind in the world, but HammerFall has never ceased to disappoint. And … Continue reading HammerFall – Hammer High (single)

Chiral – Gazing Light Eternity

September 29, 2016 Vinterd

 I don’t know what it is, but there’s just something so goddamn alluring about one man bands. Maybe it’s seeing what one person can accomplish musically, or maybe it’s to see how a group of say three or four can … Continue reading Chiral – Gazing Light Eternity

Alter Bridge – The Last Hero

September 28, 2016 Vinterd

 As someone who is constantly in the metal community and sees all the diversity and extremes of differing opinions that go on with literally everything, I rarely see the community agree on something as a whole. And when it does … Continue reading Alter Bridge – The Last Hero
