Swamp Moth – s/t

March 18, 2018March 19, 2018 Vinterd

Gyre of Incandescents – s/t

March 17, 2018March 18, 2018 Vinterd

 A lot of the time whenever people think of old school black metal I’ve seen them refer to the very melodic stuff that isn’t afraid to go from one direction to the next, and also be raw yet ritualistic in … Continue reading Gyre of Incandescents – s/t

Solstice – White Horse Hill

March 16, 2018March 17, 2018 Vinterd

 The classic sound that drew many people into the style of metal in the first place is something that many people feel hasn’t been present enough in the current world of metal. It’s something that not many newer bands are … Continue reading Solstice – White Horse Hill

Gontyna Kry – Ignipoten

March 15, 2018 Vinterd

 The beauty of modern day black metal is how easily you can mold it given how black metal has the most diversity amongst all metal which is already the most diverse genre in all of music. A band can simply … Continue reading Gontyna Kry – Ignipoten

Onhou – s/t

March 14, 2018March 15, 2018 Vinterd

 It’s all well and good to play some crispy doom metal that is no less than crushing, but it’s another thing entirely to mix it with other elements to create a tasty sound in the end that’s both cohesive and … Continue reading Onhou – s/t

Primordial – Exile Amongst the Ruins

March 13, 2018 Vinterd

 Twenty-seven years for anything is a feat whether it be living to be twenty-seven years old or holding a job for that long. It’s something that not many bands are able to accomplish, but luckily metal (and music in general for … Continue reading Primordial – Exile Amongst the Ruins

Hinayana – Order Divine

March 12, 2018March 13, 2018 Vinterd

 The world of death and doom metal has always been one that’s a weird gray area for me simply because far too many bands don’t know how to properly balance it all out. Then throwing in a strong element of … Continue reading Hinayana – Order Divine

Nòtt – s/t

March 11, 2018 Vinterd

 Throughout my time in doing these reviews I’ve noticed that black metal is incredibly over-saturated in that for every style there are literally thousands of bands that perform it. Atmospheric black metal is especially guilt of this as it’s easily … Continue reading Nòtt – s/t

De Profundis – The Blinding Light of Faith

March 10, 2018 Vinterd

 Ever since extreme metal has been a thing, there has always been a sense of anti-religion or even just a simply distaste for anything having to do with modern religion. It’s been a terrific topic to convey plenty of brutality, … Continue reading De Profundis – The Blinding Light of Faith

Eyes of the Sun – Chapter I

March 9, 2018 Vinterd

 Bringing together doom and sludge metal has been a practice that has garnered many fans from all over as it’s special flavor of heaviness has always been alluring to people far and wide. It’s something that almost never gets old … Continue reading Eyes of the Sun – Chapter I
