Knighthood – To the Road

July 14, 2018July 15, 2018 Vinterd

 Any sort of fantasy world has always left me no less than enamored by the larger-than-life events that are just the sort of thing that are true products of imagination. Folk metal has always been a great embodiment of that, … Continue reading Knighthood – To the Road

Ennui – End of the Circle

July 13, 2018July 14, 2018 Vinterd

 A style that has truly had my attention but I haven’t gotten around to really diving into is the unforgiving, dark world of funeral doom. It’s such an uncompromising style that leaves no room for a breath of salvation whether … Continue reading Ennui – End of the Circle

Mesarthim – Coma Wall

July 12, 2018July 13, 2018 Vinterd

 There are very few things as satisfying in the world of music as much as consistency. No, I don’t mean consistency in terms of sound even though it can be very nice if done correctly. In this instance, I’m referring … Continue reading Mesarthim – Coma Wall

Sun Through Eyelids – Hyperborea

July 11, 2018July 12, 2018 Vinterd

 The great thing about the world of ambient music that I can always appreciate no matter what is that every morsel we’re given is the very definition of immersive. Without uttering a single word and sometimes not even using conventional … Continue reading Sun Through Eyelids – Hyperborea

Ignis – Sic Transit Gloria Mundi

July 10, 2018 Vinterd

 If you were to just glimpse at the black metal scene on Bandcamp for even a second, you’ll see that it’s the atmospheric variety that dominates an absolute fuck ton of the greater presence of black metal. It’s an interesting … Continue reading Ignis – Sic Transit Gloria Mundi

Redemption – Long Night’s Journey into Day

July 9, 2018July 10, 2018 Vinterd

 If you ask me, the world of progressive metal has become somewhat stale for an incredibly casual fan like myself. Simply, it’s because the style feels so… manufactured at this point. Sure, we get some enticing pieces every now and … Continue reading Redemption – Long Night’s Journey into Day

Itnuveth – Pagan Martyrs

July 8, 2018July 9, 2018 Vinterd

 Anyone who knows me knows that I follow Itnuveth incredibly close as they’re one of those bands that I just can’t get enough of. For over five years, they have been dishing out one marvelous example of pagan metal after … Continue reading Itnuveth – Pagan Martyrs

UADA – Cult of a Dying Sun

July 7, 2018 Vinterd

 It’s not very often that a band can put out a second album and already be one of the new names to know of the scene. UADA definitely made one fucking hell of an impact with their debut album, but … Continue reading UADA – Cult of a Dying Sun

Forming the Void – Rift

July 6, 2018July 7, 2018 Vinterd

 Not too long ago, it seemed that the entirety of the doom world was going batshit insane over Forming the Void’s “Relic” with it being hailed as one of the best albums of doom from that year according to many … Continue reading Forming the Void – Rift

Kreiviskai – Nonregnum

July 5, 2018 Vinterd

 For a long time, the world of neofolk has been a good way to put me in a good mood. Yet, I haven’t really gone far into that little corner of music for no real reason in particular. I simply … Continue reading Kreiviskai – Nonregnum
