Turin Horse – Prohodna

July 19, 2019 Vinterd

To make a soundtrack for the very end of the world is a very novel idea that has seen many attempts over the years across many different forms of music. Foreboding and thick, dark atmospheres with constant pressure are necessary … Continue reading Turin Horse – Prohodna

July 19, 2019 Vinterd

There are many ways to make an intriguing record that grips the viewer whether it be through heaviness, riffage, grand psychedelia, or magnificent songs with so many different levels to them that a single listen would be a complete disservice … Continue reading Horseburner – The Thief

Finsterforst – Zerfall

July 17, 2019July 18, 2019 Vinterd

It’s very often in many scenarios with metal that we like to throw around the word “epic” to describe something that’s awesome. It’s a word that fits every now and then, for sure, but it’s only on rare occasion do … Continue reading Finsterforst – Zerfall

Insurrection – Circles of Despair

July 16, 2019July 16, 2019 Vinterd

Hope Drone – Void Lustre

July 14, 2019July 15, 2019 Vinterd

Husmanskost – Global Cognitive Slumber

July 13, 2019July 14, 2019 Vinterd

I found myself this morning seeing the reveal trailer for the impending Cattle Decapitation album. I was listening for anything. A snippet. A hint. A muffled growl. Fucking something to let me know what we’re in for with that album! … Continue reading Husmanskost – Global Cognitive Slumber

Come Back From the Dead – The Rise of the Blind Ones

July 12, 2019July 13, 2019 Vinterd

If you look hard enough – or even just look normally – you will see that the old school sound of death metal is still standing quite strong today even amongst all the innovation and progression that has been made … Continue reading Come Back From the Dead – The Rise of the Blind Ones

Eternal Black – Slow Burn Suicide

July 11, 2019 Vinterd

In order to stand out in an oversaturated scene, it wouldn’t be too much to expect any band that’s trying to stand out to do something different that shakes up the formula such that more people will see them apart … Continue reading Eternal Black – Slow Burn Suicide

Sorcery – Necessary Excess of Violence

July 10, 2019July 11, 2019 Vinterd

It has been a hot minute since I’ve immersed myself in some death metal from the great land that we know as Sweden. It’s the country’s specific brand of death metal that has given many, many hours of enjoyment to … Continue reading Sorcery – Necessary Excess of Violence

The Ivory Elephant – Stoneface

July 9, 2019December 7, 2020 Vinterd

While I often say that metal is the genre I listen to the most with the extreme side producing some of my favorite albums ever, it’s with rock that are where my roots lie and I know that many others … Continue reading The Ivory Elephant – Stoneface
