Tombs – Deceiver (single)

March 5, 2016 Vinterd

 I remember hearing the last Tombs album and not being quite pleased with it, but now that I’ve given myself time to develop tastes for different genres I felt it was very appropriate that I check out their new material. … Continue reading Tombs – Deceiver (single)

Metal Massacre 14

March 3, 2016 Vinterd

 I’ve always been a fan of compilations that bring together underground bands because it gives those bands some well deserved exposure from all sorts of styles that really catch your attention by the first riff. And there is no better … Continue reading Metal Massacre 14

Soul Dissolution – Pale Distant Light

March 2, 2016 Vinterd

 The wonder that is black metal has always fascinated me with all of its forms and different styles even with it itself being one of dozens upon dozens of types of metal. One category of black metal that has always … Continue reading Soul Dissolution – Pale Distant Light

Howls of Ebb – Cursus Impasse: The Pendlomic Vows

February 29, 2016 Vinterd

 The last time I heard Howls of Ebb was actually only a couple of months ago when they released their second ever album. I honestly wasn’t a huge fan of that, can’t quite remember why but I just know that … Continue reading Howls of Ebb – Cursus Impasse: The Pendlomic Vows

Wolvserpent – Aporia:Kāla:Ananta

February 28, 2016 Vinterd

 So far in 2016, there has been a severe lack of ambitious albums among the metal kingdom that has come to my attention. Scarce few bands have truly thought to put out an album that is simply transcending and stunning … Continue reading Wolvserpent – Aporia:Kāla:Ananta

Yakima – Burn (single)

February 27, 2016 Vinterd

 Rock has always been  the territory of those who helped me get into like my dad. He still listens to all sorts of rock music from hard rock to blues, and I love it because he’s like me with metal … Continue reading Yakima – Burn (single)

Criminal – Fear Itself

February 26, 2016 Vinterd

 The last time I’ve heard some truly good thrashy death metal would have to be Biotoxic Warfare’s album that came out last year, but other than that gem nothing truly of note has come across my ears. Until now, of … Continue reading Criminal – Fear Itself

Accuser – The Forlorn Divide

February 24, 2016 Vinterd

 Of all the things I love about thrash metal my favorite has to be the sheer energy of it all. A fast intensity that never even thinks to let up is the pure essence of all metal music, and no … Continue reading Accuser – The Forlorn Divide

Artillery – In Defiance of Conformity (single)

February 20, 2016 Vinterd

 I’ve always been one for 80’s style thrash metal as that’s when every other band was trying to be the next Metallica or the next Megadeth, and so on. So when I saw that Artillery had busted out a new … Continue reading Artillery – In Defiance of Conformity (single)

Hemelbestormer – Aether

February 19, 2016August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 There’s this rare oddity among metal known as atmospheric doom metal, and for me the only band that fits that description is Secrets of the Sky. Now that they’re no longer together, I’ve been meaning to find another band that … Continue reading Hemelbestormer – Aether
