The Flesh – Vehicle of Ruin

March 23, 2020March 19, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not terribly often that I find myself going out of my way to find some punk that I can really sink my teeth into, but when the mood strikes me I’m hellbent on finding something good. Stumbling upon The … Continue reading The Flesh – Vehicle of Ruin

Henry Kane – Age of the Idiot

March 22, 2020March 15, 2020 Vinterd

At this end of the extremely brief grind streak that I’ve been on in the last few weeks, there was one name in particular that I was very excited to check out: Henry Kane. It was this one-man grind act … Continue reading Henry Kane – Age of the Idiot

Etoile Filante – Magnum Opus Caelestis

March 21, 2020March 23, 2020 Vinterd

It’s in the past decade that we’ve become real spoiled with how much variety there is in the wide world of metal, and seems to go double for black metal more often than not. Cosmic black metal, in particular, has … Continue reading Etoile Filante – Magnum Opus Caelestis

Coagulate – The Art of Cryptosis

March 20, 2020March 13, 2020 Vinterd

At some point, you come to realize that a lot of underground death metal tends to sound the same whether you like it or not. That goes double for demos where all the sound quality feels the same, so you … Continue reading Coagulate – The Art of Cryptosis

Lifelong – Seul Contre Tous

March 19, 2020March 13, 2020 Vinterd

Any band starting out has to find their sound and figure it out pretty quickly because otherwise, their works are going to sound incomplete and lacking a lot of what makes for a good album. It’s one of the greatest … Continue reading Lifelong – Seul Contre Tous

The Grief – Ascent

March 18, 2020March 13, 2020 Vinterd

The more I look into the Irish metal scene as a whole, the more I begin to notice just how much potential the country has as a whole to become a metal powerhouse of the world if people gave it … Continue reading The Grief – Ascent

Spotlights – We Are All Atomic

March 17, 2020March 12, 2020 Vinterd

Being able to fall back into music that can be considered dream-like even a little bit is something that I look forward to on a daily basis as no two experiences are exactly alike, and it’s a realm of truly … Continue reading Spotlights – We Are All Atomic

Myrkur – Folkesange

March 16, 2020March 12, 2020 Vinterd

If you were to look in the right places and notice the right instances, it can be argued that certain black metal bands are making a transition to something much, much lighter in terms of content, theme, and overall ferocity. … Continue reading Myrkur – Folkesange

Arcane Tyrant – …The War Rages On

March 15, 2020March 12, 2020 Vinterd

Creating something epic and fun at the same time is an extremely difficult task that only the best of metal acts can bring to life with even moderate success as it can be hard to make it without supreme amounts … Continue reading Arcane Tyrant – …The War Rages On

Hated – None Are Equal

March 14, 2020March 6, 2020 Vinterd

Going into the world of deathcore is always a bit of a coin toss if you ask me. There are so many acts out there that just aren’t trying whatsoever that crowd around bands that actually do something that can … Continue reading Hated – None Are Equal
