Abstracter – Cinereous Incarnate

April 18, 2018April 19, 2018 Vinterd

Uhrilahja – En Fördärvad Värld

April 17, 2018April 18, 2018 Vinterd

 Melody is possibly one of the key things that makes music so infectious as a whole as even the simplest riff or catchy rhythm can latch itself onto your brain, and proceed to infect you for days, weeks, or even months … Continue reading Uhrilahja – En Fördärvad Värld

Snowy Shaw – White Is the New Black

April 16, 2018April 17, 2018 Vinterd

 A great privilege for a musician would be to play in many household name bands year after year. Imagine working not only with the likes of King Diamond but Mercyful Fate, Sabaton, Memento Mori, Elvenking, Denner/Shermann, and Kamelot along with many other. You’d … Continue reading Snowy Shaw – White Is the New Black

Boar – Poseidon

April 15, 2018April 16, 2018 Vinterd

 Doom has long been a style that’s been really hard to correctly pull off even though there are so many different forms of it that you could listen to it all for a solid day and you’ll still only have an … Continue reading Boar – Poseidon

Down Among the Dead Men – …And You Will Obey Me

April 14, 2018April 15, 2018 Vinterd

Lik – Carnage

April 13, 2018April 14, 2018 Vinterd

 Sometimes, it’s the simplest of styles that can bring a smile to your face. Death metal can be perfect even if you’re completely unoriginal and stick to a formula as it’s almost all in the execution. Bands have been pulling … Continue reading Lik – Carnage

Panopticon – The Scars of Man on the Once Nameless Wilderness

April 12, 2018 Vinterd

 I fucking love Bandcamp, I really do. Simply because whenever I go in there are always a few select bands that are constantly topping the site’s charts be it years after an album’s release or the day of or weeks … Continue reading Panopticon – The Scars of Man on the Once Nameless Wilderness

Taphos – Come Ethereal Somberness

April 11, 2018April 12, 2018 Vinterd

 Lately, I’ve had an itch for really crunchy, undeniably powerful death metal. That’s far from a rarity in the vastness that is the underground, but it was difficult to find a record that really satisfied that itch that was all … Continue reading Taphos – Come Ethereal Somberness

Adavant – The Unyielding

April 10, 2018April 11, 2018 Vinterd

 Everyone has a style that they truly enjoy but don’t visit very often because they don’t want to spoil themselves with it or get burnt out with its varying sounds. For me, that’s folk metal and I’ve always been very … Continue reading Adavant – The Unyielding

April 9, 2018April 10, 2018 Vinterd
