Countless Skies – New Dawn

May 23, 2016 Vinterd

 Naming your band after a song from a band as renowned as Be’lakor sets the bar high for your group as you’d be expected to live up to such a name. Countless Skies definitely prove themselves worthy of doing so … Continue reading Countless Skies – New Dawn

Big Mess / Black Norse – Split

May 20, 2016 Vinterd

Nervosa – Agony

May 18, 2016 Vinterd

 Thrash metal is like chocolate: it’s so fucking good that you just want to go back for more every time you get just a little bit because you just can’t get enough. But for me, too much of a good … Continue reading Nervosa – Agony

The Order of Israfel – Red Robes

May 17, 2016 Vinterd

Jim Breuer and the Loud & Rowdy – Songs from the Garage

May 16, 2016 Vinterd

 Who doesn’t love to laugh? Motherfuckers with dried up hearts the size of raisins and an eternal frown, that’s who. For the rest of us who love to be surrounded by humor, and metal for us particularly awesome folk, do … Continue reading Jim Breuer and the Loud & Rowdy – Songs from the Garage

Starchitect – Results

May 15, 2016 Vinterd
