Malgöth – Primordial Dawn

January 31, 2021January 17, 2021 Vinterd

Much like the endless void of screams and death, the number of black/death metal bands is seemingly endless. It’s a fusion that virtually all of us are aware of in some form or another, and there are few ways to … Continue reading Malgöth – Primordial Dawn

Negative or Nothing – Drowned

January 27, 2021January 16, 2021 Vinterd

It’s simultaneously easy and incredibly difficult to fall into the wide realm of atmospheric black metal with how voluminous the scene is at any given time no matter what. Easy because of the raw abundance, difficult because it can often … Continue reading Negative or Nothing – Drowned

Exorcizphobia – Digitotality

January 22, 2021January 9, 2021 Vinterd

There’s nothing quite like a pure thrash metal experience that can make the rebel inside us all rise up and join the party to tear down the walls and cause destruction. Sadly, there aren’t many works of that variety that … Continue reading Exorcizphobia – Digitotality

Morpholith – Null Dimensions

January 17, 2021January 3, 2021 Vinterd

When it comes to psychedelia in some of its heaviest forms, doom metal is one of the best vessels to deliver that excellence and it’s no task whatsoever to see why that’s the case. It hasn’t been since Zaum’s last … Continue reading Morpholith – Null Dimensions

Psychlona – Venus Skytrip

January 15, 2021January 8, 2021 Vinterd

You know, what? Hindsight is a real son of a bitch in all respects. If I had only known that Psychlona had released a new album what has almost been five months at this point, I would’ve been on it … Continue reading Psychlona – Venus Skytrip

Phase Transition – Relatively Speaking

January 14, 2021January 2, 2021 Vinterd

To create an enthralling piece of progressive metal is to think outside of the box in an already out-of-the-box style. It’s incredibly difficult to do even though the style is prime real estate for innovation given its very nature, but … Continue reading Phase Transition – Relatively Speaking

Mortal Terror – Bite of the Underdog

January 8, 2021December 26, 2020 Vinterd

When it comes to different styles of metal keeping their respective old schools wide open for business is far from uncommon as it feels like everything from the classic days of doom, death, black, and everything else in between has … Continue reading Mortal Terror – Bite of the Underdog

Domo – Domonautas Vol. 2

January 7, 2021December 26, 2020 Vinterd

Any band that is able to properly take their brand of music and stretch it right out to include songs that reach over ten minutes in length while then proceeding to make it work magnificently is worth massive investigation in … Continue reading Domo – Domonautas Vol. 2

Samsara Blues Experiment – End Of Forever

January 4, 2021December 20, 2020 Vinterd

While I find myself listening to high-energy metal most of the time, I cannot help but find myself recently searching for music that’s not only much slower in every way but also heavy in the psychedelic departments for it feels … Continue reading Samsara Blues Experiment – End Of Forever

Dungeon Weed – Mind Palace of the Mushroom God

January 3, 2021December 19, 2020 Vinterd

If you were to look at the doom scene as a whole, you would almost immediately notice some trends. Whether they be related to the sound itself between albums or the similarities between band names with words like weed, mammoth, … Continue reading Dungeon Weed – Mind Palace of the Mushroom God
