Black Space Riders – Beyond Refugeeum

April 8, 2016December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 “New wave of heavy psychedelic spacerock” is quite a mouthful, isn’t it? That is the super specific description that the German band of Black Space Riders and it fits them very, very well with their unique blend of psychedelic rock … Continue reading Black Space Riders – Beyond Refugeeum

Whispered – Metsutan – Songs of the Void

April 7, 2016 Vinterd

 I think we can all agree that samurais are pretty metal, no? Imagining samurai themed metal sounds like an over the top, ridiculous pipe dream that sounds like it would be a real mess with way too much shit going … Continue reading Whispered – Metsutan – Songs of the Void

Ethereal Riffian – I AM. Deathless

April 6, 2016December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 When you listen to as much music as I do it’s really hard to come across a band that blends the lines between metal and rock while also making it sound fucking ridiculous and awesome, but the duo of Ethereal … Continue reading Ethereal Riffian – I AM. Deathless

Merchant – Suzerain

April 5, 2016November 16, 2016 Vinterd

 From looking at that cover you can deduce two things if you really think about it: (1) this is either going to be an excruciatingly awesome piece that holds nothing back and is as mysterious as it is intense, or … Continue reading Merchant – Suzerain

Slice the Cake – Odyssey to the West

April 4, 2016 Vinterd

 More often then not when I see a band that describes themselves as “progressive metal” turn out to be just deathcore, and not that there’s anything wrong with that it’s a little annoying if you’re looking for one and especially … Continue reading Slice the Cake – Odyssey to the West

Dark Funeral – Where Shadows Forever Reign (single)

April 2, 2016 Vinterd

When it comes to black metal, there are fewer bands that one think of and Dark Funeral is a certain staple of the genre. With their first album in over five years, there’s a lot of hype around this album, … Continue reading Dark Funeral – Where Shadows Forever Reign (single)

Tombs – All Empires Fall

April 1, 2016 Vinterd

 I’ve been looking forward to this album ever since the first single was released from it and it showed a fuck ton of promise for this band that before today I had no special love for. But now that I’ve … Continue reading Tombs – All Empires Fall

Dragged – We Summon

March 31, 2016 Vinterd

 You ever get a feeling where you’re just “I want to listen to [insert specific type of music here] today”? I woke up this morning and had a strong urge for some tasty doom metal. Didn’t know where to start … Continue reading Dragged – We Summon

Imperium – Titanomachy

March 30, 2016 Vinterd

 It’s interesting to me to see how a band can evolve without even reworking their overall sound all that much in span of let’s say four years. Imperium is one of those bands that interest me with such a topic, … Continue reading Imperium – Titanomachy

Witte Wieven – Silhouettes of an Imprisoned Mind

March 28, 2016 Vinterd

 The thing that can be said about every single genre of music out there, not just metal, is that there is always a fuck ton of it that will fly past everyone. Possibly awesome albums pass us each and every … Continue reading Witte Wieven – Silhouettes of an Imprisoned Mind
