Mother Feather (self-titled)

May 3, 2016 Vinterd

 In my spare time I’ve always somehow found myself attracted to the strangely weird side of music that isn’t put into the spotlight very often if at all because of how unorthodox and different it is. A lot of times, … Continue reading Mother Feather (self-titled)

Darkestrah – Turan

May 2, 2016 Vinterd

 The idea of pagan metal (or shaman metal depending on whichever you fancy the most) has always been such an interesting concept to me because it combines the harsh elements of black metal with the tranquility of folk metal which … Continue reading Darkestrah – Turan

Hellyeah – X (single)

April 30, 2016 Vinterd

 No matter what you think of this group (super or not, doesn’t matter) you cannot deny the fact that ever since their debut album they have gotten drastically heavier. And for a lot of us, me included, that was a great thing … Continue reading Hellyeah – X (single)

Romuvos – Infront of Destiny

April 29, 2016 Vinterd

 For the last five months I’ve been seriously deprived of this magnificent and magical drug that I’m a known junkie of: folk metal. I’ve heard and loved but 3 folk bands in that time (Whispered, Manegarm, and Black Kirin) that, … Continue reading Romuvos – Infront of Destiny

Serpent Spells – Mantras Within Ascending Fire

April 28, 2016 Vinterd

 The whole concept behind blackened death metal is to combine something raw (the black) and something brutal (the death) in order to create something that could peel away the rotting earth itself. And there’s not much “diversity” amongst the bands … Continue reading Serpent Spells – Mantras Within Ascending Fire

Godless – Centuries of Decadence

April 27, 2016 Vinterd

 The idea of a super group is what? There’s no idea, really, just people from “well known” bands coming together to create a band of their own that is anticipated to make awesome shit because the musicians are all known … Continue reading Godless – Centuries of Decadence

DevilDriver – Trust No One

April 26, 2016 Vinterd

 DevilDriver for me has always been one of those bands that sound like many others (or others sound like them, whatever) and they have appealed to me with their feel and overall sound, but I’ve never been able to get … Continue reading DevilDriver – Trust No One

Gorgosaur – Lurking Among Corpses

April 25, 2016 Vinterd

 Death metal is such a wide genre with as more bands than could create their own country should they all decide to live amongst each in the same area. And with so many groups trying to be progressive, new, and/or … Continue reading Gorgosaur – Lurking Among Corpses

Gojira – Stranded (single)

April 23, 2016 Vinterd

 I feel it’s safe to say that plenty of if not most of progressive metal fans can find fuck tons enjoyment out of the excellence that Gojira have managed to put out in their legendary career. Talking about topics that … Continue reading Gojira – Stranded (single)

Darkend – The Canticle of Shadows

April 20, 2016November 16, 2016 Vinterd

 When you’re like me and listen to enough black metal to keep the crosses upside down and everything to be fast and raw (heh) all the fucking time. But sometimes, you just want a little bit more amongst all the … Continue reading Darkend – The Canticle of Shadows
