Brant Bjork – Tao of the Devil

September 27, 2016 Vinterd

 There’s almost nothing that can compare to a good ride in the car with the windows down, the sun setting beautifully in the distance, and the wind flowing magnificently. Nothing. Just a laid back, chilled the fuck out feel that … Continue reading Brant Bjork – Tao of the Devil

Gatecreeper – Sonoran Depravation

September 26, 2016 Vinterd

 I’m unfortunately part of a generation that came way after the closure of the old school of death metal, but that has not stopped me from searching out the ways of old, nor have the current times stopped bands from recreating … Continue reading Gatecreeper – Sonoran Depravation

Neurosis – Fires Within Fires

September 25, 2016 Vinterd

 I don’t know about you, but I’m always on the search for bands that have a unique flavor to them that only years of experience and pure brilliance can create. In that search, I came to find Neurosis had released … Continue reading Neurosis – Fires Within Fires

Ulcerate – Abrogation (single)

September 24, 2016September 25, 2016 Vinterd

 Sometimes you just gotta go back to the basics. It’s amongst the more simple things that can provide the most entertainment, and more often than not I find myself in such a situation with death metal. Most recently, it’s Ulcerate … Continue reading Ulcerate – Abrogation (single)

Insomnium – Winter’s Gate

September 23, 2016 Vinterd

 To have the ambition to create a one track album that extends over 40 minutes long is a difficult one. Difficult in terms of creativity, musicianship, and sheer willpower to pull it off. Very few bands attempt such a feat, … Continue reading Insomnium – Winter’s Gate

Black Hare – Reincarnation

September 22, 2016 Vinterd

 Everyone has a small list of bands that they find noteworthy, but not anything particularly that would blow minds by any means. But you’re still able to see a glimmer of talent and something pretty awesome is somewhere to be … Continue reading Black Hare – Reincarnation

Barloventos – La senda Etérica

September 21, 2016September 21, 2016 Vinterd

 It’s always the more whimsical things in life that keep plenty of people going, and I’m definitely one of them. And really one of the few genres of metal that really can be whimsical anymore is folk metal, and I … Continue reading Barloventos – La senda Etérica

The Agonist – Five

September 20, 2016 Vinterd

 There are a few bands out there that I just keep trying to get into no matter what experience I’ve had with the band before. With The Agonist, I’ve never had a bad time I can honestly say, but I’ve … Continue reading The Agonist – Five

Forlatt – Aldri

September 19, 2016 Vinterd

 I don’t know about you, but I’m always on the search for a band who can pull off super long songs. I don’t mean ten or twelve minutes long, that’s nothing when you get into doom metal. I mean over … Continue reading Forlatt – Aldri

Rudra – Enemy of Duality

September 18, 2016 Vinterd

 The only limit that a band can truly have is their imagination. You can use an instrument or a perform a style however you please, but it’s the imagination used to create the content that tends to make or break … Continue reading Rudra – Enemy of Duality
