Black Tusk – Pillars of Ash

January 21, 2016November 16, 2016 Vinterd

 Sludge is probably my favorite form of metal that I listen to the least. Bands like Lord Dying, Roundtable, and Unmothered have captured my attention with their work and albums even today, and the combination of punk and metal continues … Continue reading Black Tusk – Pillars of Ash

Mastemey (self-titled)

January 19, 2016 Vinterd

 It’s cool when bands two different sub-genres of metal (ex.: death and thrash) to create something unique, but it’s also interesting when a band combines two similar styles to create something that really transcends both of those styles and creates a mutant … Continue reading Mastemey (self-titled)

Coliseum – I Hate Them All

January 18, 2016 Vinterd

 Of all the many things that can make a thrash metal album something awesome, catchy-ness is one of the things I least expect, but always appreciate it because it seems so rare in so many thrash albums in recent years … Continue reading Coliseum – I Hate Them All

Fault Lines – Such Is Life

January 17, 2016 Vinterd

 I’m one of those people that don’t really give a shit about what others have to say about other genres whether they say it’s the shit or it is shit. As a metal head, at least once a week I … Continue reading Fault Lines – Such Is Life

Outerburst – Phase A: Kaishi

January 14, 2016March 14, 2017 Vinterd

 It’s never a bad thing to go back to where metal all began and just add your own texture into the mix whether it be new instruments, different sets of vocals, or just flat out copy and pasting its style … Continue reading Outerburst – Phase A: Kaishi

Primeval Mass – To Empyrean Thrones

January 13, 2016 Vinterd

 In all of the many countries there are on this planet, there are four that in recent years have had sharp increases in quality metal bands: Greece, India, Brazil, and Chile. The former of which is probably my second favorite (India a … Continue reading Primeval Mass – To Empyrean Thrones

Ghost Horizon – Astral Possession

January 12, 2016 Vinterd

 I appreciate many things in this world: pizza, heating, plumbing, cola, and other stuff. One other stuffs is when bands create tiny little albums that still manage to show how truly wonderful said band is. Today’s band in question is … Continue reading Ghost Horizon – Astral Possession

Hordak – Padre

January 10, 2016 Vinterd

 One of my favorite sub-categories of black metal have always been pagan black metal. Simply because it’s in its essence folk metal combined with black metal, but a little bit more harsh with themes that you would expect: wizards, vikings, … Continue reading Hordak – Padre

Anthrax – Breathing Lightning (single)

January 9, 2016 Vinterd

 Ever since Anthrax announced their upcoming album, “For All Kings”, I’ve been trying my damnedest to stay away from any singles or previews or anything else like that because I wanted to go in and experience the whole album for … Continue reading Anthrax – Breathing Lightning (single)

Doom, MetalLeave a comment

Conan – Revengeance

January 7, 2016 Vinterd

 Stoner and doom metal go together like PB&J, if you ask me. It’s been one of the most known hybrid genres in the world of metal right behind blackened death, or blackened thrash, and so on. Conan continues the tradition … Continue reading Conan – Revengeance
