Prime Alone – The Great Art of Self-Destruction

May 30, 2018August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 There exists a band that I have only known for about four years but have grown to love just about everything they do: Kauan. They went for a while as something that could be likened to Agalloch by some, but … Continue reading Prime Alone – The Great Art of Self-Destruction

Isa – Chimera

May 29, 2018December 31, 2020 Vinterd

 The weird world of progressive death metal is one that I feel like deserves much more attention and should also be a much more saturated style. It’ll allow for bands who enjoy their death to take it to unforeseen landscapes … Continue reading Isa – Chimera

The Howling Eye – Sonorous

May 28, 2018December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 There’s a certain flavor that I certainly can’t get enough of whenever I’m referring to some tasty doom or rock that really grips me from start to finish. It’s a very specific thing but extremely hard to execute properly: psychedelia. … Continue reading The Howling Eye – Sonorous

Pandrador – Śmierci Baldura

May 27, 2018May 28, 2018 Vinterd

 The two worlds of death metal and Norse mythology tend to overlap one another quite often, and if you’re not ready for it you’re more than likely to be surprised by another out of nowhere. It’s been a while since … Continue reading Pandrador – Śmierci Baldura

Sahon – Chanting for the Fallen

May 26, 2018 Vinterd

 The country of South Korea is far from a place that I’d go to look for some tasty metal, let alone thrash metal. Yet, like many things, I continue to be impressed as the world of metal proceeds to consistently … Continue reading Sahon – Chanting for the Fallen

Spaceslug – Eye the Tide

May 25, 2018May 26, 2018 Vinterd

 A band that explodes in any scene is the sort of thing that should always be watched under a close eye so that we, as fans, can find out quickly if we’re hoping too much for the band in question … Continue reading Spaceslug – Eye the Tide

Arallu – Desert Battles

May 24, 2018 Vinterd

 The idea of wanting to go back and polish up a past release is far from a new one as literally every single content creator of every variety, myself included, as either contemplated or attempted to go back and make … Continue reading Arallu – Desert Battles

YOB – Our Raw Heart

May 23, 2018 Vinterd

 An explosive start followed by a slow but steady rise is something that can really only be considered as a dream come true for just about any band in the world of metal. That was exactly what has happened with … Continue reading YOB – Our Raw Heart

Black Space Riders – Amoretum Vol. 2

May 22, 2018December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 Double albums are the kind of thing that is tricky much like how it can be difficult to bring a cohesive story for a concept album. Simply making enough material that’s sufficient to split across two full-length records can be … Continue reading Black Space Riders – Amoretum Vol. 2

Lurk – Fringe

May 21, 2018May 22, 2018 Vinterd

 Any metalhead head who’s worth his or her own salt has specific taste when it comes down to it. Sure, we can appreciate all if not most styles, but many would say they like death, doom, or black metal the … Continue reading Lurk – Fringe
