Entropia – Vacuum

October 4, 2018 Vinterd

 If you’re anything like me, you can easily gravitate towards metal that has a psychedelic edge to it simply because why the fuck not? Black metal has long been one of the styles other than death and thrash metal that … Continue reading Entropia – Vacuum

Domkraft – Flood

October 3, 2018October 4, 2018 Vinterd

 The concept of making doom or even sludge with a little bit of psychedelia is far from anything new as it’s been done for literally decades, but there’s always a way to keep it interesting even if you don’t do … Continue reading Domkraft – Flood

Crystalmoors / Hordak – Árguma / Ophiusa

October 2, 2018 Vinterd

 Much like what I said but two days ago, the pagan metal is something that I’ve always felt partial to but has always favored it more for the folk elements and spirituality above all else as I love that shit. … Continue reading Crystalmoors / Hordak – Árguma / Ophiusa

Outer Heaven – Realms of Eternal Decay

October 1, 2018 Vinterd

 Extreme metal as a whole is something that has continued to evolve from one generation to the next as each proceeding generation of budding metalheads always tries to make things bigger and better than before. Sometimes it doesn’t work, but … Continue reading Outer Heaven – Realms of Eternal Decay

Marrasmieli – s/t

September 30, 2018October 1, 2018 Vinterd

 The majesty and mysticism of the forest is something that I feel a lot of us can lose ourselves in simply because of how wondrous and alluring it can be without even trying sometimes. It’s been well over a year … Continue reading Marrasmieli – s/t

Psychlona – Mojo Rising

September 29, 2018December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 Going into the desert for a little bit of psychedelia with a blunt in hand is far from a new or fresh idea in the world of stoner music as legends like Brant Bjork have made art of the concept. … Continue reading Psychlona – Mojo Rising

Necandi Homines – Black Hole

September 28, 2018September 29, 2018 Vinterd

 There are few styles that have as much variance and experimentation than metal, and I feel that’s something many of us have come to love and appreciate. But the merging of black metal and just about any sort of psychedelia … Continue reading Necandi Homines – Black Hole

Shadow Universe – Speaking for Clouds

September 27, 2018September 28, 2018 Vinterd

 If you’re anything like me, your playlist and other collections of music are absolutely filled with both high energy and a very loud volume. But every now and then, I need a break. Even if it’s a small one, a … Continue reading Shadow Universe – Speaking for Clouds

Fórn – Rites of Despair

September 26, 2018September 27, 2018 Vinterd

 Of all the bands that grace the world of funeral doom, there are three that always stick out to me no matter what bands come and go: Bell Witch, Un, and Fórn. While it’s Bell Witch that tends to lap up … Continue reading Fórn – Rites of Despair

Windhand – Eternal Return

September 25, 2018September 26, 2018 Vinterd

 It’s so often that many of us throw the word legendary around with bands that the vast majority of the time began in the previous century, and I can understand why as they’ve wormed their way into the integral cores … Continue reading Windhand – Eternal Return
