The Re-Stoned – Reptiles Return

September 7, 2016December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 I don’t know about you, but the day of me writing this has been a very long and tiring one for me after a lovely 10-hour shift at work. After trudging myself home, I would’ve killed for something that was … Continue reading The Re-Stoned – Reptiles Return

True Widow – AVVOLGERE

September 6, 2016 Vinterd

 I consider myself to be a jaded person when it comes to the many different styles of metal that are out there in this world. I find a tone of enjoyment out of the fast and the extreme, but I … Continue reading True Widow – AVVOLGERE

Sarcoptes – Songs and Dances of Death

September 5, 2016 Vinterd

 Whenever I see such a vague, detailed, and weird as fuck cover art such as what you’re witnessing now does nothing for me except prompt immediate investigation. I didn’t know what ensued was going to be the most enticing piece … Continue reading Sarcoptes – Songs and Dances of Death

Monte Pittman – Inverted Grasp of Balance

September 3, 2016March 14, 2017 Vinterd

 It’s something about the simpler things that always have me come crawling back no matter how hard I try to find something more intricate or detailed. Yet . . . here I am, bathing in riffs and not feeling a … Continue reading Monte Pittman – Inverted Grasp of Balance

Sumerlands – s/t

September 2, 2016March 14, 2017 Vinterd

 There has never, nor will there ever be, a problem with going back to the basics, square one, or whatever you wanna call the beginning. Respecting how something great started is always good if you ask me, and that goes … Continue reading Sumerlands – s/t

Allegaeon – Proponent for Sentience

September 1, 2016January 1, 2021 Vinterd

 What is it that makes a band stand out anymore in this world of the well known and the increasingly weird? Well, if you ask me it’s but two things: (1) being weird and (2) making the weird exciting for … Continue reading Allegaeon – Proponent for Sentience

Charred Walls of the Damned – Creatures Watching Over the Dead

August 30, 2016 Vinterd

 I’m at the point with power metal where you’re most likely going to need more than a simple super-melodic factor to rope me into your charade. You need something that you don’t hear in every other band be it a … Continue reading Charred Walls of the Damned – Creatures Watching Over the Dead

Kingdom – Sepulchral Psalms from the Abyss of Torment

August 29, 2016 Vinterd

 Sometimes you just find yourself in a bad mood, and you want the music you’re blaring to reflect your mood. I’m no stranger to such, and oddly enough I’ve been in a pretty negative mood recently for the usual various … Continue reading Kingdom – Sepulchral Psalms from the Abyss of Torment

Seputus – Man Does Not Give

August 28, 2016 Vinterd

 Just when you think you listen to what can be considered some fucking raw metal that is as uncompromising as it is fast, there’s always something that’ll blindside you and show you there’s so much more. I listen to plenty … Continue reading Seputus – Man Does Not Give

Finsterforst – #YØLØ

August 27, 2016August 28, 2016 Vinterd

 I’m going to channel my inner crotchety old man and say that hardly anyone knows how to have fun anymore, and by that I mean try things you haven’t done before simply because you feel like it. Who said you … Continue reading Finsterforst – #YØLØ
