Mammoth Grinder – Cosmic Crypt

January 11, 2018January 11, 2018 Vinterd

 I’m all for a return if it’s a classy one. If you’re simply wanting to get a band back together for music then I don’t enjoy endorsing such a thing, but getting an itch to play a certain style again … Continue reading Mammoth Grinder – Cosmic Crypt

Esoctrilihum – Pandaemorthium (Forbidden Formulas To Awaken The Blind Sovereigns Of Nothingness)

January 10, 2018 Vinterd

 Last year, we were given a band that wasn’t bad by any means but still had plenty to prove. Esoctrilihum easily pleased with their debut album, but it left a lot to be desired. Given that it’s a one-man band … Continue reading Esoctrilihum – Pandaemorthium (Forbidden Formulas To Awaken The Blind Sovereigns Of Nothingness)

Summoning – With Doom We Come

January 5, 2018 Vinterd

Towards Atlantis Lights – Dust of Aeons

January 4, 2018January 5, 2018 Vinterd

 History is absolutely rife with tragic tales and epic wonders that have since become lost to the ever-ravaging effects of time, but it doesn’t always remain lost as various medias prolong their unique sense of immortality.

Yhdarl – Loss

January 3, 2018January 4, 2018 Vinterd

 The idea of drone metal is something that even after I’ve drowned myself in hours upon hours of its content I still find it challenging to really understand all that the style encompasses. It’s always a real task to try and … Continue reading Yhdarl – Loss

Vvilderness – Devour the Sun

January 1, 2018 Vinterd

 The realm of blackgaze is a very peculiar one as it’s a very specific sound across just about every single band that ventures within its borders. It’s not often that I’ve seen bands try to do different spins on the … Continue reading Vvilderness – Devour the Sun

Rapture – Paroxysm of Hatred

December 28, 2017December 29, 2017 Vinterd
