May 10, 2020April 28, 2020 Vinterd

You know those albums that you saw spread like wildfire months ago that you remembered wanting to check out but just never did? This is one of those for me. I remember people going nuts over this release and I … Continue reading Vástígr – Aura Aeternitatis

Sojourner – Premonitions

May 10, 2020 Vinterd

I’ve long been proud of the fact that I’ve witnessed the rise of a good number of bands in my time doing these reviews. Some of them were pretty quick, others still in progress like what I’m witnessing with Howling … Continue reading Sojourner – Premonitions

Ostracist – Epoch

May 9, 2020April 28, 2020 Vinterd

Gothic material tends to be something that I don’t find myself enjoying as much as I feel I should be simply because the material tends to be lacking in multiple departments for me. Either from the overall quality or just … Continue reading Ostracist – Epoch

Noctilucant – Amongst the Snow and the Shadows

May 8, 2020April 27, 2020 Vinterd

There are many ambient acts out there that can easily say they’ve done something interesting or whatever, but in order to actually stand out your quality needs to be unquestionable right from the beginning. It’s been rare that an act … Continue reading Noctilucant – Amongst the Snow and the Shadows

Exaugurate – Chasm of Rapturous Delirium

May 7, 2020April 27, 2020 Vinterd

Discovering some filthy death metal that’s actually worth its own salt is always a fun thing to find no matter the occasion because some proper nasty death metal isn’t quite like anything else out there. It can just as easily … Continue reading Exaugurate – Chasm of Rapturous Delirium

Wilczyca – Horda

May 6, 2020April 27, 2020 Vinterd

There have been a great many times that I find myself listening to the rawest of black metal and can easily find myself either enjoying it or just finding it boring. Like every style, it really comes down to the … Continue reading Wilczyca – Horda

ElonMusk – …As Your Wanderer Taps At The Invisible Gate

May 5, 2020April 26, 2020 Vinterd

A long track is something that will almost always grab my attention no matter the style simply because it’s a big undertaking to accomplish. Whether it’s in the realm of doom or something else, the mammoth task lies before whoever … Continue reading ElonMusk – …As Your Wanderer Taps At The Invisible Gate

Foretoken – Ruin

May 4, 2020April 26, 2020 Vinterd

Creating something even a little different from the norm can result in an absolute world of difference even if you don’t realize it. Black metal can be especially subject to that as the style has long been filled with experimentation … Continue reading Foretoken – Ruin

Jackie Treehorn Ave. – Nervous Breakdown Blues

May 3, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

The right approach to your material can really make or break an album, or, at the very least, greatly impact how interesting your work is in the first few seconds. When it comes down to psychedelia, I’ve always been a … Continue reading Jackie Treehorn Ave. – Nervous Breakdown Blues

Death Whore – s/t

May 2, 2020April 24, 2020 Vinterd

Just imagining death metal and hardcore coming together sounds like something that should be much more widespread I feel. It’s a fusion with virtually unending potential given both styles can gel so easily with each other if done properly, but … Continue reading Death Whore – s/t
