Doom, MetalLeave a comment

Bretus – Aion Tetra

August 8, 2019August 9, 2019 Vinterd

The inclusion of psychedelia in doom metal in something that could keep me in my seat listening for an entire day as the opportunities are virtually endless for what grandeur could be created with such a concoction. I’m usually the … Continue reading Bretus – Aion Tetra

Sabaton – The Great War

August 7, 2019July 28, 2019 Vinterd

I’ll be honest with you, when I saw that Sabaton was returning to the familiar topic of World War One after exploring wars in different eras with their previous effort, “The Last Stand”, I was a little disappointed. I was … Continue reading Sabaton – The Great War

Anifernyen – Augur

August 6, 2019August 7, 2019 Vinterd

I love delving into the side of metal where quite literally anything goes as we get bands all over the place that can just as easily do away with any sort of sensible structure in their material to bring forth … Continue reading Anifernyen – Augur

Besvärjelsen – Frost

August 5, 2019August 6, 2019 Vinterd

It’s in the heat of the summer that fun times are surely to be had and plenty of great music is released. But it’s in the colder seasons of the year where people like me feel more comfortable with as … Continue reading Besvärjelsen – Frost

Esogenesi – s/t

August 4, 2019August 5, 2019 Vinterd

It’s when I sit down to find something to listen that I need to figure out just what exactly I’m in the mood for. Maybe it’s some straight death metal like Paganzier, some rock band from anyone in the world … Continue reading Esogenesi – s/t

Killswitch Engage – Atonement

August 3, 2019August 4, 2019 Vinterd

Hearing that there was a new Killswitch Engage album on the horizon didn’t feel all the fantastic or anything like that when I first heard about it as it’s every few years we’ve gotten something from them, and, if I’m … Continue reading Killswitch Engage – Atonement

Wraith – Absolute Power

August 2, 2019August 3, 2019 Vinterd

I cannot explain to you how much I love coming across little gems in the underground that are sadly almost certainly destined to be damned to near obscurity, but that makes discovering them all the sweeter and more special. Wraith … Continue reading Wraith – Absolute Power

Oxygen Destroyer / VHS – Category III Kaiju

August 1, 2019 Vinterd

There are very few things that can make me feel like a kid again than a good classic move. I vividly remember constantly sitting really close in front of a television that’s older than I am, close enough to where … Continue reading Oxygen Destroyer / VHS – Category III Kaiju

Silence Thereafter – Hollow

July 31, 2019 Vinterd

The world of atmospheric black metal is a place that I’ve visited many times and it’s a place that has given me endless hours of entertain while never ceasing to promise even more to lose myself in. And yet, it … Continue reading Silence Thereafter – Hollow

Meeting with Hans – Genius Loci

July 30, 2019July 31, 2019 Vinterd

It feels that, by far, one of the most populated styles in our current digital age of music revolution is post-rock with the instrumental variant finding massive success in places like Bandcamp where it feels no less than rampant. Every … Continue reading Meeting with Hans – Genius Loci
