Enchantenka – 根河

January 7, 2018January 8, 2018 Vinterd

 Like many people, I’m absolutely enamored by the allure of ancient Chinese culture as it’s simply a larger than life style that has so many great things always happening from the architecture to the menagerie of legends. Metal has never … Continue reading Enchantenka – 根河

Moker – Home Invader

January 2, 2018January 3, 2018 Vinterd

 Exploration is a funny thing, isn’t it? Every time that I foray into the world of brutal death metal I do my best to ignore pieces of the past that I’ve found unpleasant because I want to find stuff that … Continue reading Moker – Home Invader

Vvilderness – Devour the Sun

January 1, 2018 Vinterd

 The realm of blackgaze is a very peculiar one as it’s a very specific sound across just about every single band that ventures within its borders. It’s not often that I’ve seen bands try to do different spins on the … Continue reading Vvilderness – Devour the Sun

The Discordant – Safe Haven

December 31, 2017August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 I’ve always been a massive fan of music that really feels like it can take you someplace different. When the music can bring you at ease by its atmosphere alone while the rest brings you into an immersive experience that’s … Continue reading The Discordant – Safe Haven

Legendarium – s/t

December 30, 2017December 31, 2017 Vinterd

 The interesting world of punk is something that I’ve always been into but nothing I’ve been a fanatic about. Like metal and rock, it’s got its shining moments of brilliance but not often anything that makes me fall head over … Continue reading Legendarium – s/t

Ancalagon – Gateway Specter

December 29, 2017December 30, 2017 Vinterd

 There are few things in this world that catch my attention more than a solid Tolkien reference. Oh yeah, you can easily make some casual reference to the movies and call it a deep cut, but black metal tends to … Continue reading Ancalagon – Gateway Specter

Cryo Chamber Collaboration – Yog-Sothoth

December 26, 2017 Vinterd

 Many times people see the word “collaboration” and think it’s some small-scale thing that two or three artists come together to create a different sound than what they typically perform. But if you’re at all familiar with the label of … Continue reading Cryo Chamber Collaboration – Yog-Sothoth

Concrete – Domain of Untold Horrors

December 25, 2017 Vinterd

 I’m all for the progressive nature of music as much as the next guy, but sometimes it really feels nice to simply travel back in time and experience something that sounds like it could’ve come out over ten or fifteen … Continue reading Concrete – Domain of Untold Horrors

Blencathra – These Bones Became the Roots of the Forest…

December 24, 2017December 25, 2017 Vinterd

 Like many people, I’ve always been enthralled by tales and legends of times long past where knights in armor were commonplace and epic battles that were decided on sword and steel took place often. Obviously, those don’t really happen nowadays … Continue reading Blencathra – These Bones Became the Roots of the Forest…

Church of Orion – Spirals

December 21, 2017December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 Ever since I discovered the wondrous act that is My Sleeping Karma over two years ago, the realm of instrumental psychedelic rock is something that I can’t get enough of. It’s a place that I visit very often as there’s … Continue reading Church of Orion – Spirals
