Bell Witch / Aerial Ruin – Stygian Bough Volume I

July 27, 2020July 11, 2020 Vinterd

A true collaboration between two acts is something that we don’t get as often as we might like with a simple split being the course that’s taken much more often than not. There’s nothing wrong with that whatsoever, but it … Continue reading Bell Witch / Aerial Ruin – Stygian Bough Volume I

Gaerea – Limbo

July 26, 2020July 8, 2020 Vinterd

It was just a little over three years ago when the world was given something that could easily be considered game-changing by many in extreme opinions to, at the very least, something that cannot be missed whatsoever. “Unsettling Whispers” from … Continue reading Gaerea – Limbo

Hateful – Set Forever On Me

July 25, 2020December 31, 2020 Vinterd

The rise of technical death metal is just as interesting as it is crazy if you’ve been paying even the least bit of attention to all the wondrous releases that the style has been pumping out over the past decade. … Continue reading Hateful – Set Forever On Me

Escaping Aghartha – Oceanic Womb

July 24, 2020July 7, 2020 Vinterd

A true experience of experimental excellence is something that we rarely get in a large quantity of pure talent. It’s hard to think of the last time when I heard a massive experimental piece that left a big impact on … Continue reading Escaping Aghartha – Oceanic Womb

K Prouty – Energy Frequency Vibrations

July 23, 2020July 7, 2020 Vinterd

Progressive material isn’t always what I find myself going for, but in its infinite reaches via imagination and talent, there will always be something for me to investigate. It’s such an intrinsic sound that has so many different variables to … Continue reading K Prouty – Energy Frequency Vibrations

Kalahari – Theia

July 22, 2020July 6, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not exactly a rare occurrence anymore to see bands of all kinds from all over bringing together several different styles to create something interesting whether it be completely transforming their style or changing it from one song to the … Continue reading Kalahari – Theia

Cosmic Club – Aurora

July 21, 2020July 6, 2020 Vinterd

There are so many different takes on the concept of stoner rock that’s is pretty ridiculous. More often than not, whenever we see a band trying to take a spin on the style it leads more towards the heavier side … Continue reading Cosmic Club – Aurora

Ancient Gate – Empire Beyond Dusk

July 20, 2020July 6, 2020 Vinterd

Black metal has on multiple occasions sought to tackle themes and settings that can only be described as nothing else than absolutely epic. It’ll always depend on the band in question on what kind of epic you’re to get, and … Continue reading Ancient Gate – Empire Beyond Dusk

Digest! – Hard to Digest

July 19, 2020July 5, 2020 Vinterd

There are many subsections within subsections of different styles within every branching path of metal, and death metal is a tangled bush in that regard in virtually every form. We see different styles popping up all over the place from … Continue reading Digest! – Hard to Digest

Ars Magna Umbrae – Apotheosis

July 18, 2020July 1, 2020 Vinterd

It’s been far too long since I’ve been able to sit down, listen to some properly scathing black metal, and come out of it feeling like I’ve actually heard something that left at least a little bit of an impact. … Continue reading Ars Magna Umbrae – Apotheosis
