Assault – The Fallen Reich

March 22, 2017March 23, 2017 Vinterd

 There are some days where a diverse metalhead will desire either something with a slow rhythm that’s all but crushing and other days when we want something with a blistering speed that’s ultra fast and brutal. The latter rings true … Continue reading Assault – The Fallen Reich

Methane – The Devil’s Own

March 21, 2017March 22, 2017 Vinterd

 Cliches aside, everyone is always a fan of a blast from a past. Be it seeing an old movie not seen for decades or hearing a band you haven’t heard from in years, we all enjoy rediscovering shit. Naturally, the … Continue reading Methane – The Devil’s Own

Warbringer – Woe to the Vanquished

March 20, 2017March 21, 2017 Vinterd

 I feel it’s always been safe to say that all types of metalheads appreciate a good dose of speed in their diets. No other style brings that in a richer flavor as much as thrash metal. Easily, thrash stands as … Continue reading Warbringer – Woe to the Vanquished

Drug Honkey – Cloak of Skies

March 19, 2017March 20, 2017 Vinterd

 Personally, I’ve never been super big on the whole experimental side of metal as it always leads to weird creations that more often than not lead to me disliking what I’m experiencing. Last time I was impressed by the experiments … Continue reading Drug Honkey – Cloak of Skies

The Obsessed – Sacred

March 17, 2017 Vinterd

 Imagine being in a band, laying down the foundations for what would later become known as stoner doom, and then breaking up the band after multiple landmark albums. That’s precisely what happened with The Obsessed, granddaddies of stoner doom itself, … Continue reading The Obsessed – Sacred

Somnium Nox – Terra Inanis

March 16, 2017 Vinterd

 A band’s first full-length album is one that has absolutely got to leave an imprint on the listener. That’s if you want your band to be successful and sustainable, of course. In the case of Somnium Nox, their initial EP, … Continue reading Somnium Nox – Terra Inanis

Trial – Motherless

March 15, 2017 Vinterd

 With hearing a new album every day from a wide variety of bands with extremely different styles, you’re always moving forward it feels like. Each band seems to be trying to be progressive, so I decided today to not move … Continue reading Trial – Motherless

Enisum – Seasons of Desolation

March 14, 2017April 13, 2017 Vinterd

 Anyone who follows black metal of any sort will know that the atmospheric variety has a fucking gigantic community. Just when I think the style can’t reach new heights I always come across something that’s no less than stunning. There’s … Continue reading Enisum – Seasons of Desolation

Eruption – Cloaks of Oblivion

March 13, 2017March 16, 2017 Vinterd

 I find it to be extremely important for any band out there to draw influence from all over, otherwise, the resulting music will be either a simple cookie cutter or come off as completely uninspired. When it comes to thrash, … Continue reading Eruption – Cloaks of Oblivion

Fen – Winter

March 12, 2017March 13, 2017 Vinterd

 In recent times, it’s become very apparent that any casual visitor of the metal section on Bandcamp knows that black metal absolutely fucking dominates. That has led to a particular few elite bands stay near or at the top almost … Continue reading Fen – Winter
