Thecodontion – Supercontinent

May 19, 2020May 9, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not really all that often that I find myself sitting here thinking about prehistoric-themed death metal talking about the various supercontinents that have come across the planet over hundreds of millions of years (or billions, the jury is still … Continue reading Thecodontion – Supercontinent

Sorcerer – Lamenting of the Innocent

May 18, 2020May 6, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not unoften to come across doom that doesn’t really do anything new, and, obviously, you can say that about many other bands. But, like everything else, it’s all in the execution. Having a history in the scene that stretches … Continue reading Sorcerer – Lamenting of the Innocent

Familiars – All In Good Time

May 17, 2020May 6, 2020 Vinterd

The first quarter of 2020 was an absolute bounty for any fan of heavy rock as we got a true menagerie of different acts both small and large delivering new music that couldn’t be considered anything other than magnificent. It … Continue reading Familiars – All In Good Time

Dizygote – Freedom, Incorporated

May 16, 2020May 5, 2020 Vinterd

Much like how black metal has seen a great surge in one-man acts in recent years, doom metal has had its own increase of the same but it’s with duos in this instance. Bands like Bell Witch and Eagle Twin … Continue reading Dizygote – Freedom, Incorporated

Turin Horse – Antipas

May 15, 2020May 4, 2020 Vinterd

More often than not, whenever I encountered any form of sludge, it tends to be paired with doom simply because the two make such a great combination in virtually every scenario. So to see any act try to bring different … Continue reading Turin Horse – Antipas

Dwaellicht – Te Vuur En Te Zwaard

May 14, 2020May 4, 2020 Vinterd

Every single time I come across most if not every form of funeral doom that I’ve encountered, it is constantly an unrelentingly heavy experience that not many other styles in all of music could ever hope to match. We’re rarely … Continue reading Dwaellicht – Te Vuur En Te Zwaard

Throwing Bricks – What Will Be Lost

May 13, 2020May 4, 2020 Vinterd

To bring together different styles in order to capture a different sound is something that we’ve seen hundreds of times across the history of metal, and it’s still something I get a lot of enjoyment out of to this day. … Continue reading Throwing Bricks – What Will Be Lost

Sepulchral Curse – Only Ashes Remain

May 13, 2020May 13, 2020 Vinterd

Finnish death metal is something that will likely never get old. It’s just one of those sounds that work in so many different ways and can be changed into so many different forms if you just change hands from one … Continue reading Sepulchral Curse – Only Ashes Remain

Deviltook – At War With Gods

May 12, 2020May 3, 2020 Vinterd

The very fact that metal is as widespread as it is across the globe is a very fun thing because we get to see bands from more well-known places like Sweden to the US and lesser-known like Chile and India … Continue reading Deviltook – At War With Gods

Fargue – Phosphène

May 11, 2020May 2, 2020 Vinterd

A lot of styles out there really know how to grab my attention by doing something different or just sounding interesting, but anything related to drone has long been something that I’ve always had a solid interest in. It’s only … Continue reading Fargue – Phosphène
