Sathanas – Necrohymns

May 9, 2018 Vinterd

 You would think that doing something consistently for thirty fucking years would get you a good deal of recognition in some form or another, right? A lot of the time, especially in music, the acts that go on for decades … Continue reading Sathanas – Necrohymns

In Obscurity Revealed – Spell of the Seeker

May 8, 2018 Vinterd

 Recreating the classic, old-school sound that death metal has become somewhat of a fixation among its inhabitants. I like to think its a form of flattery as many people are trying to recreate a sound that they love so much, … Continue reading In Obscurity Revealed – Spell of the Seeker

Omega Diatribe – Trinity

May 6, 2018May 7, 2018 Vinterd

Nocturnal Lust – Ghosting

May 5, 2018August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 It’s a hard truth to come and respect, but every band comes to an end. Whether it be the band members simply want to move on, internal disagreements, personal reasons, a tragic passing, or a straight lack of interest, every … Continue reading Nocturnal Lust – Ghosting

Faceless Mother – The Thing That Lurks

May 4, 2018May 5, 2018 Vinterd

King Buffalo – Repeater

May 3, 2018December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 Every now and then, a band rolls around that manages to capture the imagination of the masses in such a way that it’s truly remarkable to witness. King Buffalo did so with their last album, “Orion”, and they literally blew … Continue reading King Buffalo – Repeater

Gaerea – Unsettling Whispers

May 2, 2018May 3, 2018 Vinterd

 Within the whole of the world of black metal, there’s undoubtedly plenty of exploration. Many bands explore the crevices and caverns that the style encompasses, but few tend to pave their own paths, create a new cavern themselves. Many tend … Continue reading Gaerea – Unsettling Whispers

Bort – Crossing the Desert

May 1, 2018 Vinterd

 Any variety of stoner music be it rock or metal can sometimes feel exhausting as there are so many different takes on the style without much variation other than making it really heavy and drawn out, but every now and … Continue reading Bort – Crossing the Desert
