Doom, Metal, PostLeave a comment

Adliga – Vobrazy

October 8, 2021September 15, 2021 Vinterd

It’s too often that people look at doom as something that can really only be properly done in the West or certain sections of Scandinavia, but if there’s anything that the vast underground of metal has taught us it’s that … Continue reading Adliga – Vobrazy

Outre-Tombe – Abysse Mortifére

October 7, 2021September 23, 2021 Vinterd

“Old school” is a term that gets thrown around a whole lot in the world of metal, especially when we take into consideration extreme metal and the reverence that is all but pervasive when we consider the high reverence many … Continue reading Outre-Tombe – Abysse Mortifére

Alkuharmonian Kantaja – Shadowy Peripherals

October 6, 2021September 25, 2021 Vinterd

Any band with its own identity is one that has really tried to stand out from the massive crowd that is always something to behold when it’s done successfully. Particularly with black metal, if you can achieve a sound that … Continue reading Alkuharmonian Kantaja – Shadowy Peripherals

Chasmdweller – Flesh Crusade

October 5, 2021September 15, 2021 Vinterd

There are plenty of constants that I find myself crawling back to over time when doing these reviews, and I don’t think I could ask for anything better. To have a list of names that I can always return to … Continue reading Chasmdweller – Flesh Crusade

Clouds – Despartire

October 4, 2021September 25, 2021 Vinterd

Evocative doom is easily some of the best and most memorable sounds that can come out of the absolute menagerie of styles that doom calls its own, but there’s nothing that can compare when it’s performed by masters of the … Continue reading Clouds – Despartire

Cutterred Flesh – Sharing is Caring

October 3, 2021September 15, 2021 Vinterd

It’s not terribly often that I can come into the world of brutal death metal and find myself coming out on the other side with a record of any choice and being undeniably satisfied with what I have emerged with. … Continue reading Cutterred Flesh – Sharing is Caring

Untamed Land – Like Creatures Seeking Their Own Forms

October 2, 2021September 23, 2021 Vinterd

The near-constant guessing of what I’m going to hear next will always be a massive factor as to why I will always keep coming back to metal even despite listening to it day in and day out for years now … Continue reading Untamed Land – Like Creatures Seeking Their Own Forms

Mountain Caller – Chronicle: Prologue

October 1, 2021September 15, 2021 Vinterd

In my humble opinion, there isn’t nearly enough instrumental metal out there. It absolutely confounds me why that’s the case for if we were to look at instrumental rock we would see a sprawling soundscape that touches on every corner … Continue reading Mountain Caller – Chronicle: Prologue

Husmanskost – Sykkelstjæling

September 30, 2021September 26, 2021 Vinterd

It seems to me that when people talk about a band changing their sound or trying new things that it’s always the biggest examples that people go for which are oftentimes featuring the wildest changes. Whether it’s something like Enslaved … Continue reading Husmanskost – Sykkelstjæling

Doom, Metal, PsychLeave a comment

Acid Magus – Wyrd Syster

September 29, 2021September 14, 2021 Vinterd

There are plenty of flavors and tones that can be associated to the mysterious world of psychedelic doom for all the right reasons with the style rarely being one that fails to deliver in any form as the listener can … Continue reading Acid Magus – Wyrd Syster
