August 25, 2017August 26, 2017 Vinterd

 This year has been a straight up god send for metal heads who have been wanting high-quality releases from all the sorts of metal groups, but one style that seems to be not getting a lot of coverage this year … Continue reading Ensiferum – Two Paths

Botanist – Collective: The Shape of He to Come

August 24, 2017August 25, 2017 Vinterd

Sheidim – Infamata

August 23, 2017August 24, 2017 Vinterd

 I’m more than okay with new bands coming out of the woodwork from all over the world to try their hands at a style that has been done thousands of times prior, but the desire to create more is too … Continue reading Sheidim – Infamata

Dreadnought – A Wake In Sacred Waves

August 22, 2017August 23, 2017 Vinterd

 Music is always constantly changing.

August 21, 2017August 22, 2017 Vinterd

Battle Raider – s/t

August 20, 2017August 20, 2017 Vinterd

 When I was a budding metal head, Manowar was one of the bands that I absolutely worshipped as they were my first example of true heavy metal taken to glorious heights that I never knew existed. They helped me get … Continue reading Battle Raider – s/t

Crimfall – Amain

August 18, 2017August 18, 2017 Vinterd

Promethean Misery – Bloodlet

August 17, 2017August 17, 2017 Vinterd

 To create an experience is nothing new to music and certainly not to metal, but should you want an experience of a particularly heavy caliber that can still be so much more than just heavy, doom metal tends to have … Continue reading Promethean Misery – Bloodlet

Verge – The Process of Self-Becoming

August 16, 2017 Vinterd

 The Finnish black metal scene is no less than absolutely immense given the country’s massive reputation for being a straight up breeding ground for the genre. Recent years continue to prove that fact with class acts such as Mork and … Continue reading Verge – The Process of Self-Becoming
