Unearthed Elf – Into the Catacomb Abyss

September 17, 2016 Vinterd

 Saying you’d like to mesh a whole bunch of styles together to make something cohesive and not a giant fucking mess is one thing, but executing it is, of course, another thing entirely. Few have been able to do such, … Continue reading Unearthed Elf – Into the Catacomb Abyss

Starchitect – Shift

September 16, 2016 Vinterd

 I always find revisiting bands very intriguing, especially those I don’t tend to listen to because I like to hear how the group has changed – evolved, even. I by no means am a frequent listener of Starchitect, but I … Continue reading Starchitect – Shift

Azooma – Plague of Predator (single)

September 15, 2016January 1, 2021 Vinterd

 I understand the favoritism plays a big role in all sorts of criticism, and I’m no exception as I almost always do a review for a band I love that puts out new material. I try to be as fair … Continue reading Azooma – Plague of Predator (single)

Akasava – Nothing at Dawn

September 14, 2016 Vinterd

 It was at the tail end of last year that the world was introduced to the stylistically unique approach that Akasava took to with their music. It was extremely interesting and showed plenty of promise, but needed work. With pleasure, … Continue reading Akasava – Nothing at Dawn

Fetid Zombie – Epicedia

September 13, 2016September 13, 2016 Vinterd

 There are few bands out there can somehow manage to transcend genre boundaries yet still be able to keep to a core genre. And some of those bands are criminally unknown such as Fetid Zombie. This band is fucking legendary … Continue reading Fetid Zombie – Epicedia

Queen Elephantine – Kala

September 12, 2016September 12, 2016 Vinterd

 Every so often you come across a new band and simply go “what the fuck am I listening to”. Whether it’s a good or bad thing obviously depends on the person, of course, but sometimes there’s a band that comes … Continue reading Queen Elephantine – Kala

Metal, ThrashLeave a comment

Evil Invaders – In For the Kill

September 11, 2016 Vinterd

 There’s nothing quite like some good thrash metal, am I right? Of course I am! It’s thrash done right for the love of all things fast, but the one thing that could make it better is if you were to … Continue reading Evil Invaders – In For the Kill

Skálmöld – Vögguvísur Yggdrasils

September 10, 2016September 10, 2016 Vinterd

 If you ask me there’s a drastic shortage of good folk metal in this wide, wide world. Sure, we got bands like Korplikaani and Ensiferum who are fantastic to listen to, but where’s all that talent that doesn’t seem to get … Continue reading Skálmöld – Vögguvísur Yggdrasils

Kyng – Pristine Warning (single)

September 9, 2016 Vinterd

 Ever since Kyng’s magnificent last album, “Burn the Serum”, the bar was been raised significantly with songs like “Electric Halo” and “Big Ugly Me” absolutely dominating. Many people, including myself, eagerly awaiting to see what else this trio could do … Continue reading Kyng – Pristine Warning (single)

Oldd Wvrms – Ignobilis

September 8, 2016September 8, 2016 Vinterd

 Delving into the world of the weird and abnormal can go plenty of different ways, and it’s either going to end in you being freaked out or wanting more. I hadn’t heard anything remotely weird for a while, but along … Continue reading Oldd Wvrms – Ignobilis
