Sojourner – The Shadowed Road

March 8, 2018 Vinterd

I was lucky enough to discover Sojourner very early on in their career. So early that I discovered them when they released their very first song almost three years ago. It’s been a true privilege to watch this international band go from … Continue reading Sojourner – The Shadowed Road

Strike Avenue – Human Golgotha

March 7, 2018March 8, 2018 Vinterd

 Despite having no sort of distaste or special disinterest towards deathcore, I rarely seek it out whenever I do these reviews. I’ve found tons of joy out of bands like We Rise the Tides and Carnifex, but it’s just a weird … Continue reading Strike Avenue – Human Golgotha

Shrine of the Serpent – Entropic Disillusion

March 6, 2018 Vinterd

 Just about every metalhead who scours the underground has come across one budding group or another and stuck to that group through years, watching them as they grow. I’ve been lucky enough to witness some promising acts rise from another … Continue reading Shrine of the Serpent – Entropic Disillusion

Dwarrowdelf – The Sons of Fëanor

March 5, 2018 Vinterd

 Ever since I was a child, I’ve been absolutely enamored by the work of Tolkien and that love has only held true as all throughout my life I’ve loved Middle-Earth in all of its lore, endless characters, and epic tales. When … Continue reading Dwarrowdelf – The Sons of Fëanor

Rivers of Nihil – Where Owls Know My Name

March 4, 2018January 1, 2021 Vinterd

 A constant theme that I’ve noticed when it comes to newer bands versus older bands is that many people prefer older groups. That’s understandable since those bands have been around longer, know what they’re doing (usually) and have had plenty … Continue reading Rivers of Nihil – Where Owls Know My Name

Hiemis – Nachtstücke

March 3, 2018March 4, 2018 Vinterd

 The brilliance behind the genres of ambiance and noise is the same kind of thing that music, in general, creates for different people as music as almost always been a realm to another world that can only be tapped into … Continue reading Hiemis – Nachtstücke

Depravity – Evil Upheaval

March 2, 2018March 3, 2018 Vinterd

 Whenever I hear of new metal from anywhere I almost always have an instinctive impulse to check and see where the band is from. If I see the band in question is from Australia, I get excited because that country … Continue reading Depravity – Evil Upheaval

MethysOs – Jukai

March 1, 2018 Vinterd

 For the longest time, I always felt that folk metal would be suited to a Chinese or samurai theme and for the longest time, no one attempted it. Then I discovered Whispered, and then Black Kirin, and now MethysOs. These gentlemen … Continue reading MethysOs – Jukai

Inhumankind – Self-Extinction

February 28, 2018 Vinterd

 Even though metal is easily the most diverse genre in all of the music worlds with having niche corners creating by unique bands every single year, I find myself wanting to hear different things. But, with these reviews, I try … Continue reading Inhumankind – Self-Extinction

Ende – Goétie Funeste

February 27, 2018 Vinterd

 Typically, it can take a band anywhere between two to five or more years to create a new album due to touring, personal obligations, creative breaks, and anything in between. A band that is constantly dishing out new material back … Continue reading Ende – Goétie Funeste
