Eshtadur – Oblivion

January 6, 2016January 6, 2016 Vinterd

 Deathcore has never been my preferred “-core” music, but I’ve never been afraid to try it out because you never know what band is gonna pull next. Eshtadur is one such band for me because they really hovered on the … Continue reading Eshtadur – Oblivion

Abyssus – Once Entombed…

January 5, 2016 Vinterd

 As a death metal band in the metal world of today you have got to find a way to set yourself apart from others. Some try moving forward and expanding the reaches of death into other genres, straight up mixing it with … Continue reading Abyssus – Once Entombed…

Lycus – Chasms

January 4, 2016January 5, 2016 Vinterd

 Funeral doom metal, you say? I am now stroking my beard in interest. If you want to start of the new year with a good, solid album that is quite possibly the epitome of funeral doom metal then you need … Continue reading Lycus – Chasms

Fleshgod Apocalypse – The Fool (single)

January 2, 2016November 16, 2016 Vinterd

 Ah, the much talked about masters of symphonic death metal have returned to us at last! I’ve never really been one for Fleshgod Apocalypse as I could never really get into it but have never said I hated what I … Continue reading Fleshgod Apocalypse – The Fool (single)

Ripper – Experiment of Existence

January 1, 2016 Vinterd

 Death and thrash metal have always been a pair that have for the most part led to a lot of great albums and bands where everything is raw, fast, and unrelenting. I’m not saying Ripper’s upcoming album “Experiment of Existence” … Continue reading Ripper – Experiment of Existence

Primitiv – Immortal and Vile

December 27, 2015December 27, 2015 Vinterd

 Oh, what’s a word that I can make up to describe this album? Riff-a-licious? Yeah, that should cover it. If you have ever fucking thought the thought “I wonder if there’s anything happening in the Indian death metal scene” then … Continue reading Primitiv – Immortal and Vile

Varg – Das Ende Aller Lügen

December 17, 2015 Vinterd

 Now that is a title that is as righteous as righteous gets. If you don’t understand German then I’m gonna let you figure it out by yourself. All you do need to know is that “Das Ende Aller Lügen” is … Continue reading Varg – Das Ende Aller Lügen

Wolfmother – City Lights (single)

December 5, 2015 Vinterd

 I will be completely honest and say that I have never heard a single Wolfmother song before today, which is sacrilegious depending on who you ask, but I’m just a fucking weirdo like that. But there is a first for … Continue reading Wolfmother – City Lights (single)

Affliction Gate – Dying Alone

November 29, 2015November 30, 2015 Vinterd

 After seeing that cover and the album title I was thinking that Affliction Gate, whom I’ve never heard of before a month ago, was depressive black metal. Holy mother of all things unholy was I wrong! Affliction Gate is, for … Continue reading Affliction Gate – Dying Alone
