February 15, 2018 Vinterd

As someone who does these reviews on a daily basis, I’m no stranger when it comes to bands that have caused a bit of an uproar. Two of the more bombastic bands that have captured peoples’ attention are Iron Reagan’s … Continue reading Iron Reagan / Gatecreeper – split

Lowered – s/t

February 14, 2018February 15, 2018 Vinterd

 The realm of doom is a place that can vary from anything that’s little more than a hit of the ol’ bong to an incredibly dark, terrifying place that only the bravest or most foolish souls dare to venture. While … Continue reading Lowered – s/t

Golgothan Remains – Perverse Offerings to the Void

February 13, 2018February 13, 2018 Vinterd

 The wide pit of rotting corpses that makes up all of modern death metal is by no means a shallow one as we all know the style has more acts that everyone can keep track of. Given that, there are … Continue reading Golgothan Remains – Perverse Offerings to the Void

Inhibitions – La Danse Macabre

February 12, 2018 Vinterd

 Of all my time in the current ocean that is the modern underground scene of black metal, I rarely come across any symphonic acts. I’m not sure if it’s the lack of bands performing the style or I’m simply going … Continue reading Inhibitions – La Danse Macabre

Boethiah – Invocation of the Xenolith

February 11, 2018 Vinterd

 A common theme that I’ve seen whenever scouring Bandcamp for death metal releases is how there’s an absolute fuck ton of bands that try to emulate the classic style be it in a very pure format or with modernized touches. … Continue reading Boethiah – Invocation of the Xenolith

Rumahoy – The Triumph of Piracy

February 10, 2018February 11, 2018 Vinterd

 With every band that brings something even relatively new to the table that becomes big comes a fair number of bands wanting to get in on that hot new craze. What style other than pirate metal would be perfect for … Continue reading Rumahoy – The Triumph of Piracy

Bloodmoon – Supervoid Trinity

February 9, 2018February 10, 2018 Vinterd

 Ever since I heard my favorite album of all time, Inter Arma’s “The Cavern”, I have been on a very loose search to find albums similar to that: a 45-minute long song that’s as well crafted as it is epic. … Continue reading Bloodmoon – Supervoid Trinity

Lumnos – Ancient Shadows of Saturn

February 8, 2018February 9, 2018 Vinterd

 Something that has become a cult phenomenon in the global black metal scene in recent years is the creation of cosmic black metal in all of its infinite mystery. It’s bands like Mare Cognitum and Spectral Lore that brought the … Continue reading Lumnos – Ancient Shadows of Saturn

Unshine – Astrala

February 7, 2018February 8, 2018 Vinterd

 I’ve always been a big fan of experimentation when it comes to blending different genres together as I firmly believe it leads to amazing new horizons for not only metal but music in general. Folk metal hasn’t been a thing … Continue reading Unshine – Astrala

Scolos – Infinite Recursion

February 4, 2018February 5, 2018 Vinterd

 It’s very clear that a band’s first steps as an act can show a lot about what the band is about to get themselves into as well as what we can expect to see in the future should they stay … Continue reading Scolos – Infinite Recursion
