Zaum – Eidolon

October 26, 2016 Vinterd

 I’m more of the kind of guy that leans towards albums with plenty of moving parts and variety to go around so things don’t get stale. Now, my collection of music isn’t nearly as populated with such music simply because … Continue reading Zaum – Eidolon

Downfall of Gaia – Atrophy

October 25, 2016 Vinterd

 Art comes in many forms, and an artist can come in varying levels in terms of how important an artist think his/her own work is as a whole. Some like to think their work is the only work that there … Continue reading Downfall of Gaia – Atrophy

Fallen Theory – On Truth We Choke

October 24, 2016October 24, 2016 Vinterd

 I find it to be very healthy for a band to wait a few years between records so that they don’t burn out creativity or just get sick of making music. Sure, some bands can just pump out so much … Continue reading Fallen Theory – On Truth We Choke

Wasted Theory – Defenders of the Riff

October 23, 2016 Vinterd

 When it comes down to being a band who’s actually somewhat serious answer, hardly anyone knows how to have fun anymore. I mean that in such a way that people don’t really play what they want because they want to … Continue reading Wasted Theory – Defenders of the Riff

Korn – The Serenity of Suffering

October 22, 2016 Vinterd

 There are bands out there that just require no introduction of any sort, and Korn is definitely one of them. As one of the longest lasting bands to have started out as nu metal, this American band has slowly come … Continue reading Korn – The Serenity of Suffering

Soothsayer – At This Great Depth

October 21, 2016 Vinterd

 There are people who are suckers for anything fast, those who go for riff-filled songs to get them through the day, and others look for a sound with real meat to it that they can truly sink their teeth into. … Continue reading Soothsayer – At This Great Depth

Cwealm – Odes to the Hereafter

October 20, 2016 Vinterd

 I’m not typically one for stereotypes as I find most of them pretentious and vastly unnecessary, but I, of course, am only human. For the longest time, I’ve assumed 100% of bands to come out of Gothenburg where of the melo-death … Continue reading Cwealm – Odes to the Hereafter

HammerFall – Built To Last

October 19, 2016October 19, 2016 Vinterd

 It’s no contest in contesting the might of HammerFall given their legend that has been going for decades, but to say whether or not they’ve done their fair share of branching off in terms of creativity is simply a fact. … Continue reading HammerFall – Built To Last

Civil War – The Last Full Measure

October 18, 2016 Vinterd

 The idea of having a gimmick can go really two differents ways – good or bad. Pretty simple. All depends on how the band executes their specific gimmick. There’s plenty of special ones out that like Alestorm and Whispered that … Continue reading Civil War – The Last Full Measure

Itnuveth – Enchantments

October 17, 2016October 17, 2016 Vinterd

 Everyone who delves as far into the world of metal as I do has at least a couple of bands that hardly anyone anywhere has heard of, but every time that band puts out an album you find yourself investigating … Continue reading Itnuveth – Enchantments
