Son ov Leviathan – Vi Veri Vniversum Vivus Vici

July 4, 2018 Vinterd

 There’s no shortage of Luciferian themes in the world of black metal, but I feel it’s not often enough that a band can take that concept and then proceed to actually make it sound great. Sure, you could sit there … Continue reading Son ov Leviathan – Vi Veri Vniversum Vivus Vici

Kamadeva – Ritual en Carcosa

July 3, 2018December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 The world of heavy psych is one that I feel is currently in a real golden age where many people have a good nostalgia for the classic psychedelia of music from decades ago but want to mix it with a … Continue reading Kamadeva – Ritual en Carcosa

The Shiva Hypothesis – Ouroboros Stirs

July 1, 2018July 2, 2018 Vinterd

 Forgetting about a band because of one reason or another is something that we’re all guilty of, and I’m not a personal fan. I remember checking out the first bit of material that The Shiva Hypothesis put three years ago … Continue reading The Shiva Hypothesis – Ouroboros Stirs

Moloch Conspiracy – The Cave of Metaphysical Darkness & Lights

June 30, 2018July 1, 2018 Vinterd

 It’s been no secret of mine that I’ve been slowly trying to get more and more into the world of ambient, dungeon synth, noise, and such. I find it to be a very interesting and simple area of music that … Continue reading Moloch Conspiracy – The Cave of Metaphysical Darkness & Lights

Earthgrave – First Snow of the Final Winter

June 29, 2018June 30, 2018 Vinterd

 Melodic death metal has always been a fun style for me given the obvious points of how there’s the intensity that death metal brings to the table whilst having a solid form to it that enables things like anthems to … Continue reading Earthgrave – First Snow of the Final Winter

Ripis – Shadow Dies in Morning Light

June 28, 2018 Vinterd

 One obvious thing that has always been associated with metal, along with much of music for that matter, is the amount of emotion that goes into the mix. It could be an empowering anthem, a sentimental ballad, or a melancholic … Continue reading Ripis – Shadow Dies in Morning Light

Obscura – Diluvium

June 27, 2018June 27, 2018 Vinterd

 I’m not exactly what you’d call an expert in the weird world of progressive metal, but I know for a fact that of all the bands that exist in the death metal quadrant of that style Obscura is one that … Continue reading Obscura – Diluvium

Major Affective Disorder – Hate City Timeshare Thrash

June 26, 2018June 27, 2018 Vinterd

 I’ve always considered myself spoiled by today’s modern studio technology as I’ve always preferred a more refined, smooth listening experience in terms of sound quality versus something a demo from whatever garage band. But I have been trying to break … Continue reading Major Affective Disorder – Hate City Timeshare Thrash

Godless Enthropia – Tetracyclic Dominion

June 25, 2018June 26, 2018 Vinterd

 The wide world of death metal is one with many turns and valleys the likes of which most bands tend to pick a lane and stick to it. Yet, there are always some acts that like to jump from one … Continue reading Godless Enthropia – Tetracyclic Dominion

Akhenaten – Golden Serpent God

June 24, 2018June 25, 2018 Vinterd

 A few years ago, I came across an Italian band that brought the worlds of death and folk metal together in ways that I never dared to imagine: Ade. Sure, many people think Ex Deo when that description is thrown … Continue reading Akhenaten – Golden Serpent God
