Taurwen – A Wind Blows from the Mountain of Death

August 26, 2020August 8, 2020 Vinterd

If you ask me, the most interesting yet the trickiest style out there of all the stuff that I have for review easily has to be dungeon synth. I only say that because I do genuinely like the concept and … Continue reading Taurwen – A Wind Blows from the Mountain of Death

Koffin – Nailed into the Coffin

August 25, 2020August 8, 2020 Vinterd

We’ve all sat down and listened to a couple of demos in our time no matter what form of metal it may come in, but it really does feel like the more worthwhile ones come from the realm of death … Continue reading Koffin – Nailed into the Coffin

Coexistence – Collateral Dimension

August 23, 2020December 31, 2020 Vinterd

Easily, one of the most fascinating styles in all of metal has to be technical death metal and you can pick just about any reason you want to justify that claim. I figured that this year had already gotten plenty … Continue reading Coexistence – Collateral Dimension

Mesarthim – The Degenerate Era

August 22, 2020August 7, 2020 Vinterd

Seeing a big underground name return in any capacity is always a momentous occasion no matter the style. I’ll admit that after their massive string of releases, not seeing anything from Mesarthim after a year was a bit curious especially … Continue reading Mesarthim – The Degenerate Era

The Spacelords – Spaceflowers

August 21, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

One of the most intriguing sounds in all of music, in my opinion, is undoubtedly just about any form of instrumental rock but especially when it’s drenched in psychedelia. Whether it leans towards the heavier side or not, the style has always … Continue reading The Spacelords – Spaceflowers

Great Cold Emptiness – Death Gifted a Bouquet

August 20, 2020August 2, 2020 Vinterd

Time can be just as grueling as it can be rewarding. To see an album that you’ve been looking forward be delayed for whatever reason is always a shame, but it’s in the world of music that us peons must … Continue reading Great Cold Emptiness – Death Gifted a Bouquet

Pig Destroyer – The Octagonal Stairway

August 19, 2020August 13, 2020 Vinterd

Between all the many different styles that metal has created and touted over the years, it’s easily the creation known as grind and all of its spawns that I’ve had the most troubling becoming accustomed to in my time of … Continue reading Pig Destroyer – The Octagonal Stairway

Alkymist – Sanctuary

August 17, 2020August 1, 2020 Vinterd

Doom and sludge metal have become an inseparable pair in the most recent decades of the evolution of both acts, and they’ve given us many, many quality releases that much of the scene has eaten up like homemade ice cream. … Continue reading Alkymist – Sanctuary
