Switchboard Marion – The Wolf

July 1, 2017July 2, 2017 Vinterd

Paleons – Hyperborean

June 30, 2017August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 Ever since I could remember being into music, I’ve always been on the search for special albums that truly take the listener to a completely different place mentally. In recent years I’ve found that instrumental rock tends to take me … Continue reading Paleons – Hyperborean

Ljosazabojstwa – Sychodžańnie

June 29, 2017June 30, 2017 Vinterd

 The allure of the much darker side of metal has always been something that’s pulled me into some pretty disturbing places for the genre, and it’s also led me to plenty of awesome bands as well as some underwhelming ones … Continue reading Ljosazabojstwa – Sychodžańnie

Dead Soul Alliance – Slaves To the Apocalypse

June 28, 2017 Vinterd

Lör – In Forgotten Sleep

June 27, 2017June 28, 2017 Vinterd

Bloodlust – At the Devil’s Left Hand

June 26, 2017June 27, 2017 Vinterd

Paganizer – Land of Weeping Souls

June 25, 2017June 26, 2017 Vinterd

 Simplicity is sometimes the best approach to a style for some people, and that can lead to two things: (1) a lazy sounding record that’s all but ridiculously boring or (2) a smashing piece that absolutely slays all who hear. … Continue reading Paganizer – Land of Weeping Souls

Totengott – Doppelgänger

June 24, 2017June 25, 2017 Vinterd
