Insonus – Nemo Optavit Vivere

February 17, 2017 Vinterd

 Black metal has always been one of my go-to places for whenever I want something that’s either intense in every single way, or calm with refined chaos sewn through it. However, I’ve never really been into DSBM as, even though … Continue reading Insonus – Nemo Optavit Vivere

Ur – Stories Between Death and Being Born Again

February 15, 2017 Vinterd

 The short description of this band on Bandcamp begins with a simple phrase: “random dude from Germany”. I like that a lot. Not the fact that the guy’s from Germany as it doesn’t matter to me where he’s from, but … Continue reading Ur – Stories Between Death and Being Born Again

Manetheren – The End

February 13, 2017February 13, 2017 Vinterd

Ex Deo – The Immortal Wars

February 12, 2017February 12, 2017 Vinterd

 It’s so easy for a band to take something as well known as the Roman Empire and turn it into some form of music. It’s been a huge inspiration to musicians for centuries and still continues to this very day. … Continue reading Ex Deo – The Immortal Wars

Ancient Tundra – All Light Has Since Escaped Me

February 11, 2017February 12, 2017 Vinterd

 A typical band has about three to five members in it. Sounds about right, doesn’t it? Well, if you’re any sort of familiar with black metal then you know it’s absolutely riddled with one man bands. Ancient Tundra is one … Continue reading Ancient Tundra – All Light Has Since Escaped Me

Horn – Turm am Hang

February 7, 2017 Vinterd

 I’ve always heard whispers here and there about this band called Horn over the past year or so when researching black metal to listen to. Never getting around to listen to the band before, I figured the brand new release … Continue reading Horn – Turm am Hang

Locust Leaves – A Subtler Kind of Light

February 6, 2017February 7, 2017 Vinterd

 I’ve never been one to just drop the names of record labels, but every now and then I make exceptions, and right now is one of them. I, Voidhanger Records has always been a highlight of mine to find all … Continue reading Locust Leaves – A Subtler Kind of Light
