Qoya – Yokai

August 28, 2021August 17, 2021 Vinterd

If you ask me, it’s not nearly often enough that we get the world of post-rock or post-metal cross over with doom in a form that’s actually properly done and not just some fuzzed-out form of heaviness with a couple … Continue reading Qoya – Yokai

Pillars of Cacophony – Parerga

August 27, 2021August 17, 2021 Vinterd

A debut is always hard to deliver on any sort of capacity with the slate being seductively clean which allows you to do whatever you want, but it can easily be the determining point for listeners if they feel they … Continue reading Pillars of Cacophony – Parerga

Unreqvited – Beautiful Ghosts

August 26, 2021August 16, 2021 Vinterd

As one of the most expansive and densely populated sections of black metal in our modern digital age, it can often feel intimidating to dive into the deeply layered world that is atmospheric black metal. But, like all styles, there … Continue reading Unreqvited – Beautiful Ghosts

Shi – Basement Wizard

August 25, 2021August 16, 2021 Vinterd

It’s not unoften by any stretch to say that humor really has found a proper home in the over-reaching world of stoner metal along with its typical partner in crime that is doom, but it’s far harder to execute properly … Continue reading Shi – Basement Wizard

Vixenta – Polarity

August 24, 2021August 10, 2021 Vinterd

Black metal has always had a certain essence of iciness to it all when we consider the style in some of its rawest forms, but it’s not terribly often that we see a band expand on that to really take … Continue reading Vixenta – Polarity

Prey For Nothing – Kivshan

August 23, 2021August 10, 2021 Vinterd

If you ask me, metal coming out of the Middle East has some of the most interesting bands that we can listen to in today’s vast underground from names like Al-Namrood, Azooma, and Akvan just being three names that come … Continue reading Prey For Nothing – Kivshan

Green Lung – Black Harvest

August 22, 2021August 10, 2021 Vinterd

Despite the absolutely staggering ocean of doom acts out there that have come and gone in recent years, there still somehow manages to be new acts constantly coming out of the woodwork for all around the world that not only … Continue reading Green Lung – Black Harvest

MRTVI – Autology The Shadow Work

August 21, 2021August 21, 2021 Vinterd

Improvisation is a decisive word to some of us, and I don’t think it’s hard to understand why. It’s arguably the ultimate form of artistic uniqueness and expression with it being a truly raw execution that might not have an … Continue reading MRTVI – Autology The Shadow Work

Times of Grace – Songs of Loss and Separation

August 20, 2021August 9, 2021 Vinterd

For as long as I’ve been into metal, there have always been key acts that I always find myself coming back to in some form or another whether it be diving further into the styles those original influences came from … Continue reading Times of Grace – Songs of Loss and Separation

Dagtum – Revered Decadence

August 19, 2021August 9, 2021 Vinterd

A crushing, uncompromising heaviness is something that virtually every single death metal band strives for in some form or another, but it’s difficult to execute it with the right kind of power to actually do it all justice. It’s not … Continue reading Dagtum – Revered Decadence
