Ulthar – Providence

August 6, 2020July 19, 2020 Vinterd

The depths of Bandcamp are so incredibly fruitful that there will always be a great number of high-quality releases that will always fly right over my head for one reason or another. While it’s Tomb Mold that I feel I … Continue reading Ulthar – Providence

Elephant Tree – Habits

August 5, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

I remember when I was first coming around to the glorious style that is heavy psych and everything closely related to it that Elephant Tree put out a massive album that caught all sorts of well-deserved accolades. It really seemed … Continue reading Elephant Tree – Habits

Sky Pig – Hell Is Inside You

August 4, 2020July 19, 2020 Vinterd

There is nothing quite like some quality sludge in the world of metal. Few styles are able to so uniquely heavy and all-encompassing when it comes to a wide variety of sounds while consistently bringing quality on a high level. … Continue reading Sky Pig – Hell Is Inside You

Havukruunu – Uinuos Syömein Sota

August 3, 2020July 18, 2020 Vinterd

  Ever since their debut that was both no so long ago and forever ago, Havukruunu has rightfully become one of the very best names to know of in the modern landscape of black metal by far. What’s now three … Continue reading Havukruunu – Uinuos Syömein Sota

Sarcoptes – Plague Hymns

August 2, 2020July 19, 2020 Vinterd

A nice little EP is sometimes all someone needs in order to get their proper dosage of a band that they really enjoy, or at least wanted to hear more of. A new full-length is almost always preferable especially to … Continue reading Sarcoptes – Plague Hymns

Triúr – Now’s The Time

August 1, 2020July 18, 2020 Vinterd

It’s much more often than not that most hard rock I find feels like the sort of material that’s actively trying to get on the radio for one reason or another, and it also feels like the vast majority of … Continue reading Triúr – Now’s The Time

Spell – Opulent Decay

July 31, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

The return of proto-metal in recent years has been something that many people have gladly jumped onto whether or not you think even half of the bands that populate the style pull it off, and I’m certainly one of the … Continue reading Spell – Opulent Decay

Irhagar – Sutra

July 30, 2020July 16, 2020 Vinterd

Have you ever come across an album that you feel probably won’t amount to much? Maybe something surprising? I have that feeling a lot more than I’m willing to admit, unfortunately. But, more often than I’m also willing to admit, … Continue reading Irhagar – Sutra

Moloch Conspiracy – Incantatios from Ugarit

July 29, 2020July 16, 2020 Vinterd

There have been many times when I go to sit down and listen to some fresh ambient works to, hopefully, find myself lost in a unique wordless world that’s constantly changing with something as simple as one night or even … Continue reading Moloch Conspiracy – Incantatios from Ugarit

Damned to Downfall – Born to Breed

July 28, 2020July 16, 2020 Vinterd

A death metal EP that ultimately doesn’t do anything new and is constantly trying to quick and concise in just about every instance really feels to be a dime a dozen in today’s climate, and that’s because there’s just so … Continue reading Damned to Downfall – Born to Breed
