Fleshgod Apocalypse – King

February 5, 2016 Vinterd

 After a good few weeks of listening to the first single off “King”, “The Fool”, over and over again while loving each replay of it and listening to all other subsequent singles off this album, I can safely say that … Continue reading Fleshgod Apocalypse – King

Naðra – Allir Vegir til Glötunar

February 4, 2016 Vinterd

 What is it about the northern places of the world that seem to inspire the best black metal? Scandinavia is easily the most metal rich area of the world and we all know at least a lot of bands from … Continue reading Naðra – Allir Vegir til Glötunar

January 30, 2016March 15, 2016 Vinterd

As one of the most renowned, known, and respected melodic death metal bands to have ever existed, Amon Amarth have never once disappointed their fans as each album that they put out is a vicious blast of viking mythology and … Continue reading Amon Amarth – First Kill (single)

Obscura – Akróasis

January 29, 2016 Vinterd

 The term “progressive death metal” is used way too often by deathcore bands who are either lying to themselves, trying attract different crowds, trying to be “fancy”, or all three. So actually hearing real prog death after see a band call themselves … Continue reading Obscura – Akróasis

The Lion’s Daughter – Existence is Horror

January 28, 2016January 28, 2016 Vinterd

 A lot of times it’s good to take a break from something you’ve been busting your ass on day in and day out for fear of losing quality. That’s a pretty common thing among bands who care about the quality … Continue reading The Lion’s Daughter – Existence is Horror

The Temperance Movement – White Bear

January 27, 2016 Vinterd

The Wakedead Gathering – Fuscus: Strings of the Black Lyre

January 26, 2016 Vinterd

 Now if that isn’t the creepiest, most unsettling album cover there has ever been then I am the next president of fucking Botswana because that shit, right there, is the definition of “haunting”. If you’re not like most people and … Continue reading The Wakedead Gathering – Fuscus: Strings of the Black Lyre

Isbjörg (self-titled)

January 24, 2016 Vinterd

 I first saw the name of this band and I immediately thought “this is gonna be some sick ass viking metal right here”, and naturally with most things I was completely wrong. Progressive rock is the more appropriate term for Isbjörg, and even … Continue reading Isbjörg (self-titled)

Abbath (self-titled)

January 23, 2016 Vinterd

 I’m pretty sure that the moment everyone heard about Abbath going into a new band, we all turned our heads and collectively said “what?” I for one was very interested to see what this black metal icon was going to … Continue reading Abbath (self-titled)

Megadeth – Dystopia

January 22, 2016 Vinterd

 Megadeth has never really been my preferred thrash band, if I’m going to be completely honest with you. I’ve heard them before multiple times and have respected them for many years, but they’ve never really stuck with me. They’ve never … Continue reading Megadeth – Dystopia
