Machina Coeli – Lure of the Forgotten Lake

January 8, 2020January 5, 2020 Vinterd

It’s with dungeon synth that I’ve always had an interest in but I rarely visit it simply because it’s one of those styles that I really have to be in a mood for the vast majority of the time, and … Continue reading Machina Coeli – Lure of the Forgotten Lake

Svartgren – Divlja Vatra

January 4, 2020January 1, 2020 Vinterd

There’s nothing quite like a capable black metal act that can dish out some damned good riffs but still remain vicious enough to even be called scathing as the work goes on. With cover art that immediately caught my eye, … Continue reading Svartgren – Divlja Vatra

Metide – Solution

January 3, 2020January 1, 2020 Vinterd

It’s ever so slowly that the world of post-metal that I find myself delving more into as the years go on, and it’s the more time that I put into the style that I’m really starting to see just how … Continue reading Metide – Solution

Praÿ – s/t

January 2, 2020December 31, 2019 Vinterd

It’s been since the last release from Elder that I was curious when the next piece of exciting instrumental rock of any sort would cross my path, and, thankfully, it didn’t take long. Psychedelia tends to work all too well … Continue reading Praÿ – s/t

Exulansis – Sequestered Sympathy

December 30, 2019December 22, 2019 Vinterd

Every now and then we get an album that shakes things up a bit in terms of both formula and overall execution. Black metal tends to be the realm where this happens more often than not, but it’s today that … Continue reading Exulansis – Sequestered Sympathy

Cloudkicker – Unending

December 29, 2019December 30, 2019 Vinterd

 The vast majority of the time when I listen to some progressive metal it is far from an easy listen that I can just fall back into. There’s always so much going on that it can become damn near impossible … Continue reading Cloudkicker – Unending

Helleborus – Saprophytic Divinations

December 27, 2019December 22, 2019 Vinterd

More often than not when we get a band that falls into the realm of black metal, we normally aren’t treated to a display that’s can be classified as diverse or transformative by any means whatsoever, and that’s truly a … Continue reading Helleborus – Saprophytic Divinations

Grey Stag – The Boats

December 26, 2019December 22, 2019 Vinterd

 To create some high-quality sludge of any sort, you’re gonna have to know how to create something that’s just as heavy as it is mesmerizing in its own special way. Making it on its own without any support from other … Continue reading Grey Stag – The Boats

Sewer Dwellers – Fate of a Maggot

December 25, 2019December 22, 2019 Vinterd

 Reaching into the world of anything related to metalcore or deathcore is the sort of thing that I simply don’t do enough and it’s simply because there isn’t a lot that reaches out to me from the style as it … Continue reading Sewer Dwellers – Fate of a Maggot

Deprecator – Tickle Time

December 24, 2019December 22, 2019 Vinterd

 There have been plenty of bands that I’ve come across that try to infuse some sort of comedy into their work, and it’d be an understatement to say that most of them didn’t succeed all that well. I’ve come across … Continue reading Deprecator – Tickle Time
