The Age of Truth – Resolute

August 18, 2021August 9, 2021 Vinterd

There are always a great number of heavy rock acts out there throughout the entire world that are always worthy of mention, but it’s damn near effortless to have some other great names get somewhat lost in the ocean of … Continue reading The Age of Truth – Resolute

Laceration – Demise

August 17, 2021August 4, 2021 Vinterd

To talk even a moment about old school death metal, I can’t help but feel that it’s in the best shape that it’s been in for quite some time. The sheer diversity in acts from all across the world that … Continue reading Laceration – Demise

Eaters of the Soil – s/t

August 16, 2021August 4, 2021 Vinterd

The very concept of experimentation in metal is something that makes my mouth salivate in immense excitement as much as it incites mass skepticism into my soul since anything experimental is the very definition of a gamble when we take … Continue reading Eaters of the Soil – s/t

Noltem – Illusions in the Wake

August 15, 2021August 4, 2021 Vinterd

There aren’t very many instances where we can look into the depths of a black metal release and feel like you’re looking at something beautiful given the very nature of the style itself, but black metal has never once been … Continue reading Noltem – Illusions in the Wake

Carchosa – Realms

August 14, 2021August 4, 2021 Vinterd

Every year, the world of melodic death metal seems to get even more interesting. No matter if we’re strictly talking about the heavier side of the style or its more innovative, colorful side, or even both, melo-death is arguably in … Continue reading Carchosa – Realms

Bornwithhair – When the Witches Fall

August 13, 2021August 4, 2021 Vinterd

If you ask me, to see a band try to walk the line between rock and metal on a consistent and interesting basis for the whole of a work can lead to some of the most engaging material that our … Continue reading Bornwithhair – When the Witches Fall

Powerwolf – Call of the Wild

August 12, 2021August 3, 2021 Vinterd

When we consider the modern state of power metal, there are certain names that come to mind when we take into account those who really make the style something to be heard in today’s soundscape. For me, Powerwolf is absolutely … Continue reading Powerwolf – Call of the Wild

Thecodontion / Vessel of Iniquity – The Permian-Triassic Extinction Event

August 11, 2021August 2, 2021 Vinterd

  When we peer into history when looking through the lens of metal, it’s rare that we find ourselves going back any further than maybe a couple hundred years for one reason or another, but it’s truly rare to come … Continue reading Thecodontion / Vessel of Iniquity – The Permian-Triassic Extinction Event

Nuummite – Celetial Triarchy

August 10, 2021August 2, 2021 Vinterd

When we have a conversation about anything related to post-metal or post-rock, it tends to be the latter that dominates conversations simply due to the sheer volume of rock acts that take on post elements as opposed to its metal … Continue reading Nuummite – Celetial Triarchy

Morbid Messiah – Disgorged in the Coffin

August 9, 2021July 28, 2021 Vinterd

If you ask me, Mexico is one of the countries that are wildly underrated for all that they offer to the world of heavy music with their ranks increasing in excellence year after year. For some time, though, I can’t … Continue reading Morbid Messiah – Disgorged in the Coffin
