Corpsing – Civilisation Under Nefarious Tyrants

June 8, 2020May 26, 2020 Vinterd

The number of times that we’ve seen any kind of combination of black and death metal is so unfathomably high that we could likely talk about them for a decade straight and not come close to covering all of them. … Continue reading Corpsing – Civilisation Under Nefarious Tyrants

Mazzeri – s/t

June 7, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

When you infuse any sort of material with any level of psychedelia, you’re already raising the bar for my expectations by at least a little. In my opinion, to successfully be psychedelic is to become larger than life with your … Continue reading Mazzeri – s/t

Living Gate – Deathlust

June 6, 2020May 31, 2020 Vinterd

It’s long been a trend for thousands upon thousands of bands to pay tribute to the classic days of death metal where everything was awesome, raw, and undeniable in its power when the style was still very much in its … Continue reading Living Gate – Deathlust

Warred – MMXX – The Singles Collection

June 5, 2020May 24, 2020 Vinterd

Brazil tends to be a country that I associate with thrash more often than not because that appears to make up the majority of the metal that comes from that portion of South America, but, of course, there are plenty … Continue reading Warred – MMXX – The Singles Collection

Heathen Beast – The Revolution Will Not Be Televised But It Will Be Heard

June 4, 2020May 24, 2020 Vinterd

It doesn’t take a genius to know that anger of any kind plays a crucial part in an extremely large part of all music, and metal has been known to take that to another level with good reason. We’re always … Continue reading Heathen Beast – The Revolution Will Not Be Televised But It Will Be Heard

Ysengrin – Initiatio

June 3, 2020May 20, 2020 Vinterd

To see any band decide to throw in the towel for any reason is a shame, and that goes double particularly for bands who have always delivered something worth listening to. Ysengrin more than qualifies as such with their releases … Continue reading Ysengrin – Initiatio

Huntsmen – Mandala of Fear

June 3, 2020June 2, 2020 Vinterd

Storytelling is something that I’ve always been incredibly fond of ever since I was a child because any good music with a solid story to go with it makes the experiences of both far more flavorful right away. It’s really … Continue reading Huntsmen – Mandala of Fear

Herxheim – Incised Arrival

June 1, 2020May 19, 2020 Vinterd

Ever since 2017, there has been a gaping hole in my listening habits where Howls of Ebb used to be. The band’s split-up, whether on good terms or not, was a real blow for someone like me who came to … Continue reading Herxheim – Incised Arrival

Ritual King – s/t

May 31, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Admittedly, there comes a point where a lot of these stoner rock/heavy psych/doom acts start to blend together because they either sound the same or their names are way too close like how I keep mixing up Void King and … Continue reading Ritual King – s/t

Khthoniik Cerviiks – Æequiizoiikum

May 30, 2020May 18, 2020 Vinterd

As still one of the most insane death metal bands that I’ve heard in years, Khthoniik Cerviiks stands far apart from the rest. It doesn’t take a genius whatsoever to see why, and I have been waiting patiently for years to … Continue reading Khthoniik Cerviiks – Æequiizoiikum
