Sorcier Des Glaces – Un Monde de Glace et de Sang

December 31, 2020December 18, 2020 Vinterd

When it comes to the representation of Canadian black metal, there’s no other band that should come faster to our minds than Sorcier Des Glaces. The band’s run has been no less than staggering with a massive catalog slowly being … Continue reading Sorcier Des Glaces – Un Monde de Glace et de Sang

BruteAllies – Ash and Nails

December 30, 2020December 17, 2020 Vinterd

Simplicity can often be the greatest tool that any band of any style can wield. It’s what drags many people into the new single on the radio or what keeps us listening to an album that’s filled with simplistic but … Continue reading BruteAllies – Ash and Nails

Hand of Kalliach – Shade Beyond

December 29, 2020December 17, 2020 Vinterd

It’s very hard to find folk metal bands out there that feel actually worth talking about. Oftentimes, we see bands take easy routes to create material that is loosely folk metal but rather something that comes across like gimmicky black … Continue reading Hand of Kalliach – Shade Beyond

Gjoad – Samanōn

December 26, 2020December 15, 2020 Vinterd

To come across an album with a wondrous atmosphere is something that many of us think is a lot rarer than what it actually is, but it is nonetheless a boon whose value never wanes. It’s more often than not … Continue reading Gjoad – Samanōn

Exsul – s/t

December 25, 2020December 9, 2020 Vinterd

To scour through the very bottom layers of the underground to find the next act worth talking about is like finding which soul locked in hell wants to escape the most. Every single one of them believes themselves to be … Continue reading Exsul – s/t

Cadaver Putrefacto – Ritual de Exsanguinación

December 24, 2020December 8, 2020 Vinterd

With the sprawling expanse of ever-changing hellscapes that are known as death metal, it’s not surprising to find just as much material that sounds reminiscent of many others as well as material that innovates to brand new territory. It’s in … Continue reading Cadaver Putrefacto – Ritual de Exsanguinación

Praÿ – Hemerith

December 23, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

  When I first heard Praÿ what felt like several years ago (only two in actuality), I was pleasantly surprised by what the band was able to bring to the table that still very much holds up in a somewhat … Continue reading Praÿ – Hemerith

Green Druid – At the Maw of Ruin

December 22, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Two years ago, Green Druid came around with a debut that halfway rocked the doom scene as a whole by many accounts. Their thick sound was something that truly washed over the community in a way that most bands can … Continue reading Green Druid – At the Maw of Ruin

Ṙo – Athalase

December 21, 2020December 6, 2020 Vinterd

The glory of the internet is truly at some of its best when it comes to how bountiful Bandcamp is in its entirety for music lovers of all kinds. Where record stores were the places to be for discovering new … Continue reading Ṙo – Athalase

Swan Messiah – Child of Sorcery

December 20, 2020December 2, 2020 Vinterd

Seeing any band transition their sound from one style to another is always incredibly interesting if you ask me since that shows they have a drive to create a different sound which can be a great boon that many of … Continue reading Swan Messiah – Child of Sorcery
