Necromancing the Stone – Jewel of the Vile

July 25, 2016March 14, 2017 Vinterd

 When I see such art with incredible craftsmanship mixed with boobies and a menacing figure, the first thing that comes to mind isn’t exactly “this would work great for a heavy metal album’s cover art!”, yet it is so in … Continue reading Necromancing the Stone – Jewel of the Vile

Jinjer – King of Everything

July 24, 2016 Vinterd

 A lot of times when a band gets described as extreme metal I get a little excited because that can mean the album has a sound of any sort that could be anyone’s guess. But then following it by saying … Continue reading Jinjer – King of Everything

Void King – There Is Nothing

July 23, 2016July 24, 2016 Vinterd

 It’s the simple things in life that makes it worth living if you ask me. In music, a simple riff can make a world of difference, and even more can create an album truly worth remembering.  Give the right band … Continue reading Void King – There Is Nothing

Korn – Rotting in Vain (single)

July 22, 2016 Vinterd

 Korn is simply one of those bands that doesn’t need any sort of introduction. Recently, their musical styles have been subjected to . . . experimentation which is a good thing, but it’s important as a band that’s been around … Continue reading Korn – Rotting in Vain (single)

Nintendocore Lives – Smash 64

July 21, 2016 Vinterd

 Many people don’t about pirate metal because of how weird it is, but I feel like the one of the few things weirder than that has to be nintendocore. It’s essentially video game themed metal, and you can do so … Continue reading Nintendocore Lives – Smash 64

Forty Winters – Rotting Empire

July 20, 2016 Vinterd

 It’s bands like Suicide Silence and Marilyn Manson always make me go “ehhhhh” whenever I listen to them because I understand and respect their place in the metal world, but I always somehow come crawling back to the style if … Continue reading Forty Winters – Rotting Empire

We Are the Catalyst – Elevation

July 19, 2016 Vinterd

 Everyone has that band that they know and enjoy to a certain degree, but they don’t really pay much attention to the group and instead visit their material every now and then. We Are the Catalyst is one such group … Continue reading We Are the Catalyst – Elevation

Bloody Hammers – Lovely Sort of Death

July 18, 2016 Vinterd

 One of the really big reasons that I enjoy metal and rock is because of all the different styles that their own respective worlds contain. When I want to wind down and listen to something casual and not so awesomely … Continue reading Bloody Hammers – Lovely Sort of Death

Powerwolf – The Metal Mass: Live

July 17, 2016 Vinterd

 Live albums are perfect for the kind of people who enjoy a compilation of a particular band, but don’t have the money or the opportunity to go to any of shows of said band. I’m one such poor soul who … Continue reading Powerwolf – The Metal Mass: Live

Grace Disgraced – Lasting Afterdeaths

July 16, 2016 Vinterd

 The old school of death metal is sometimes the only school you need, and I like to go back and attend it every now and then. It’s something you have to take in moderation,  though, as with all good things … Continue reading Grace Disgraced – Lasting Afterdeaths
