Black Viper – Hellions of Fire

December 25, 2018 Vinterd

 In today’s metal climate, it’s very important to people like me to get something different in our collections so that we’re not listening to the same fucking thing over and over again, but every and then there’s a surprisingly welcome … Continue reading Black Viper – Hellions of Fire

Lord Vapour – Semuta

December 24, 2018December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 With the year winding down to a close, I always like to make at least one more stop in each of my favorite styles to end the year on a good note with some excellent material released at this time … Continue reading Lord Vapour – Semuta

Ars Magna Umbrae – Lunar Ascension

December 23, 2018December 24, 2018 Vinterd

 Anyone who does even a little bit of digging into the greater black metal scene that’s at play will know that there’s a special dark corner of the style that’s unlike anything else that no other brew of black metal … Continue reading Ars Magna Umbrae – Lunar Ascension

Hobos – Nell’Era Dell’Apparenza

December 22, 2018December 23, 2018 Vinterd

 Much like grind, punk is something that I’ve always been interested in but have never really sat down to dive head first into that realm to really find something that I can latch onto for a while. The best example … Continue reading Hobos – Nell’Era Dell’Apparenza

Croc Noir – Mort

December 21, 2018 Vinterd

 There are many times that I need even the briefest of breaks from a style simply because I don’t want to tire myself or even go far enough as to burn myself out with it for a little, and it … Continue reading Croc Noir – Mort

Husmanskost – Solstice

December 20, 2018 Vinterd

 The world of grind is something that I don’t often visit, and I’ve been very open about that as it’s a style that I’ve always wanted to hear more of but it’s really something that I need to take in … Continue reading Husmanskost – Solstice

Keor – Petrichor

December 19, 2018 Vinterd

 To create something new and interesting is something that many artists have been straining to do ever since music became a thing. It’s part of what drives people to make something new or at least try to, and given the … Continue reading Keor – Petrichor

Religious Observance – Utter Discomfort

December 18, 2018 Vinterd

 Whenever I delve into the world of doom, I usually go for two distinct styles that I simply enjoy more often than most: long-winded and hypnotic experiences stretching on and on, or riff after riff that do naught but keep … Continue reading Religious Observance – Utter Discomfort

Nebula Orionis – Soulshard

December 17, 2018December 18, 2018 Vinterd

 The world of cosmic black metal is one that I’ve always been interested in but it’s also long been something that I’ve visited only on rare occasion. With acts like Midnight Odyessy, Mare Cognitum, and Mesarthim decorating the style while … Continue reading Nebula Orionis – Soulshard

Oryx – Born Into Madness

December 15, 2018December 16, 2018 Vinterd

 Seeing bands try different things and even slowly morph their style into something else entirely is just the sort of thing that keeps me crawling back to certain bands time and again. From acts like Esoctrilihum to The Re-Stoned, it’s … Continue reading Oryx – Born Into Madness
