Shadow of Death – Stoner Fucking Thrash

December 14, 2018 Vinterd

 The vast majority of the time whenever I’m hearing something with a heavy stoner presence in the ultimate mix, it’s doom metal and fuzz-filled rock that are what comes across to me ripe for listening. To be completely honest, I’ve … Continue reading Shadow of Death – Stoner Fucking Thrash

Aborted Earth – Placenta

December 13, 2018December 14, 2018 Vinterd

 Normally, whenever I’m venturing into a genre that I don’t know much about I tend to stick to the bigger acts before working down to the much smaller bands so that I get a real feel before getting into the … Continue reading Aborted Earth – Placenta

Aver – Orbis Majora

December 12, 2018December 13, 2018 Vinterd

 Ever since my discovery of the ever-classy Black Space Riders a few years ago, I’ve been very interested in investigating more into the world of space rock. I’ve always been into almost all things groovy and psychedelic in the world … Continue reading Aver – Orbis Majora

Winds of Mayhem – Ascend, Thy River

December 11, 2018December 12, 2018 Vinterd

Serpent Lord – Towards the Damned

December 10, 2018December 11, 2018 Vinterd

 The landscape of heavy metal itself is one that’s always interesting for someone like me to come back to every now and then as it’s something that’s always changing with many new bands coming out every so often, but it’s … Continue reading Serpent Lord – Towards the Damned

HolyArrow – Fight Back for the Fatherland

December 9, 2018December 10, 2018 Vinterd

 History has been a long favorite subject of mine simply because there’s so much of it to sift through that you can never know truly all of it and there’s always something new to learn. I’ve always been entranced by … Continue reading HolyArrow – Fight Back for the Fatherland

Le Menhir – Aube

December 8, 2018December 9, 2018 Vinterd

 The vast majority of the time whenever I listen to anything that can be described as “post”, it’s rock rather than metal for two simple reasons. (1) There are far more post-rock bands than post-metal acts so more to choose … Continue reading Le Menhir – Aube

Krukh – Absurdity!

December 7, 2018 Vinterd

 Collaborations are something that I’ve always really appreciated simply because it allows several different musicians to come together for a one-off album that’s something the likes of which we’ll likely never get again and haven’t heard anything quite like before. … Continue reading Krukh – Absurdity!

Kaschalot – Whale Songs

December 4, 2018 Vinterd

 If you’re anyone like me, the allure of heaviness and intensity are just two of the many reasons why you gravitate towards metal more often than not when it comes to your musical taste. Yet, if you’re also anything like … Continue reading Kaschalot – Whale Songs

Bane – Esoteric Formulae

December 3, 2018 Vinterd

 There’s no shortage of bands that bring us flavors of blackened death metal by any means whatsoever with it being an ever-popular style that seems a go-to for many fans wanting to create a sound that’s much more than either … Continue reading Bane – Esoteric Formulae
