Loss – Horizonless

May 22, 2017May 22, 2017 Vinterd

 Every single person has a specific style of music that they enjoy, but for whatever reason have never truly investigated. For me, it’s funeral doom. I’ve always been amazed at how something with such a slow tempo, crushing sound, and menacing … Continue reading Loss – Horizonless

Unleash the Archers – Apex

May 21, 2017May 22, 2017 Vinterd

 The one thing that draws me to any form of creative expression, be it a movie, album, or book, more than anything is story telling. If you’ve got a compelling story that’s interesting, you’ve got my attention. However, it’s a … Continue reading Unleash the Archers – Apex

Firespawn – The Reprobate

May 20, 2017May 21, 2017 Vinterd

 Death metal is always the kind of thing that, as a band, you can approach the style with as much power and undeath as you please, but that doesn’t automatically make you a good band. It takes a multitude of … Continue reading Firespawn – The Reprobate

Lodo – s/t

May 19, 2017May 20, 2017 Vinterd

 After a long days work at the office, nothing is better than coming home and simply unwinding with some quality music. Little is more relaxing to me and instrumental bands help me unwind even more. I’ve listened to plenty of … Continue reading Lodo – s/t

Speedrush – Endless War

May 18, 2017 Vinterd

 Typically, I don’t like bands that seem to solely exist to sound like a throwback band simply because the members of the group are living in the past. That’s what I thought Speedrush was at first and that initially turned … Continue reading Speedrush – Endless War

In Human Form – Opening of the Eye by the Death of I

May 17, 2017 Vinterd

 I’ve always been fascinated how bands push the envelopes of all music. Does it lead to a new style that not everyone’s going to like but still thrives on? Absolutely (I’m looking at you techno), and metal is a wonderful breeding … Continue reading In Human Form – Opening of the Eye by the Death of I

Between the Lines – s/t

May 16, 2017 Vinterd

 Music has reached every corner of the globe, gone to space, and has even become an integral part of the human psyche over millennia. Metal and rock have come relatively recently, but it’s clearly spread like wildfire. While some stand … Continue reading Between the Lines – s/t

Havukruunu – Kelle Surut Soi

May 15, 2017 Vinterd

 Black metal has always been renowned for having vastly diverse and constantly expanding soundscape that is bigger and much more vibrant than ever before, and I love digging through it to see what I can find. Sometimes, that leads me … Continue reading Havukruunu – Kelle Surut Soi

Alestorm – No Grave but the Sea

May 14, 2017May 15, 2017 Vinterd

 When I was just getting into metal, there were so little bands that really allowed me to explore the style I was getting into slowly. Disturbed, Mudvayne, Metallica; some basics, you know? But my friend suggested something as a joke: … Continue reading Alestorm – No Grave but the Sea

Full of Hell – Trumpeting Ecstasy

May 13, 2017May 14, 2017 Vinterd

 Few bands out in the world have been able to capture the pure essence of chaos, yet have at least some sort of structure to their music. One might think of grind metal more than anything else, but a recent … Continue reading Full of Hell – Trumpeting Ecstasy
