A Breach of Silence – Secrets

January 10, 2017January 11, 2017 Vinterd

 As the band who put out my favorite album of 2014, A Breach of Silence not only had a lot of anticipation from me but their steadily growing fan base was the exact same as well. Being the pioneers of “powercore”, … Continue reading A Breach of Silence – Secrets

Morbid Messiah – In the Name of True Death Metal

January 9, 2017 Vinterd

 It’s impossible to be an active searcher of death metal and not come across one group trying to be old school for every modern death metal band. Some people just can’t seem to let go of the past, and while … Continue reading Morbid Messiah – In the Name of True Death Metal

Lorn – Arrayed Claws

January 8, 2017 Vinterd

 There’s always a line for something. Where is it for black metal for when things take a turn into a world that no one could’ve seen coming? It’s a very fine line that you can’t really know about unless you … Continue reading Lorn – Arrayed Claws

Ulg – Windark

January 7, 2017January 8, 2017 Vinterd

 The dark world of atmospheric black is one that I always love to take a trip to every now and then as you never know what excellence you’re going to find next. It’s also densely populated by bands who are … Continue reading Ulg – Windark

Henry Kane – Den Förstörda Människans Rike

January 6, 2017January 7, 2017 Vinterd

 Personally, I’ve never been really into the world of grind or crust metal as they just always seem to be . . . too extreme for my liking. Don’t get me wrong, I like extreme, but how much is too … Continue reading Henry Kane – Den Förstörda Människans Rike

Desert Kingdom – s/t

January 5, 2017January 6, 2017 Vinterd

 There’s plenty of tasty, tasty hybrid styles in the world of metal as we got throngs of bands in the veins of blackened death, atmospheric black, pagan metal, and so on. But to me, there’s probably no other hybrid style … Continue reading Desert Kingdom – s/t

Daemoniac – Spawn of the Fallen

January 3, 2017January 4, 2017 Vinterd

 I find it to always be a good thing to always return to the basics after a certain amount of time. In my case, the basics happen to be some old fashioned death metal that isn’t fancy in any sort … Continue reading Daemoniac – Spawn of the Fallen

Black Anvil – As Was

January 2, 2017January 3, 2017 Vinterd

 The current state of modern black metal is something that the human brain simply has a whole bunch of trouble wrapping itself around. There are so many branching paths and it’s always on the move that it’s hard to keep up … Continue reading Black Anvil – As Was

Grave Digger – Healed By Metal

January 1, 2017March 14, 2017 Vinterd

 With the legendary band of Manowar throwing in the towel very soon, who will be left to carry the torch that is the original heavy metal experience? I don’t mean as original as Black Sabbath, I mean like that somewhat … Continue reading Grave Digger – Healed By Metal

Kreator – Satan Is Real (single)

December 29, 2016 Vinterd

 There are bands of thrash out there that get as much love for their hard work over the decades as they do hate, and while none may compare to the massive levels of criticism that Metallica may get there are … Continue reading Kreator – Satan Is Real (single)
