Polymerase – Unostentatious

May 7, 2021April 22, 2021 Vinterd

The true beauty of Bandcamp comes into play when you’re able to discover an album from a band that in no other way would you ever hear under any circumstances. It’s the great vast majority of the time that so … Continue reading Polymerase – Unostentatious

71TONMAN – War Is Peace // Peace Is Slavery

May 6, 2021April 22, 2021 Vinterd

It is not an uncommon thing for many of us to want to compare some decidedly heavy music to that of nuclear fallout for many different reasons, but it’s not terribly often whatsoever that we actually do get an album … Continue reading 71TONMAN – War Is Peace // Peace Is Slavery

Ungfell – Es grauet

May 5, 2021April 21, 2021 Vinterd

An album with a story is almost always more compelling when you have a slight idea of what’s going on even when you cannot understand a single word that’s being said, and it’s in the realm of black metal that … Continue reading Ungfell – Es grauet

Herzschlager – All The Nights Are Done

May 4, 2021April 14, 2021 Vinterd

While many of us were more focused on the lack of shows that happened last year due to obvious reasons, there were some musicians who took advantage of main projects having to be put on hold as best they could … Continue reading Herzschlager – All The Nights Are Done

Corr Mhóna – Abhainn

May 3, 2021April 13, 2021 Vinterd

Is it something about the Irish or is their doom metal getting better? From Soothsayer to The Grief, the Irish doom scene has been seeming to get better with each passing year with it feeling like every new album that … Continue reading Corr Mhóna – Abhainn

Medium – Habitat

May 2, 2021April 14, 2021 Vinterd

Last year, it was with the reissue of their debut EP that Medium made some waves throughout the scene. Mind you, those waves weren’t nearly big enough, if you ask me, but those of us who heard it know that … Continue reading Medium – Habitat

Devastating Light – I Have Already Failed You

May 1, 2021April 13, 2021 Vinterd

Whenever I see a musician who is deeply rooted in one style branch out to try something different whether it be within an already established band or creating a new one, I tend to stroke my beard slightly in interest. … Continue reading Devastating Light – I Have Already Failed You

Maw – s/t

April 30, 2021April 13, 2021 Vinterd

To blend together many different styles in order to craft a sound that you can really call your own is to really test your chops as a musician in my eyes for if you can accomplish that then you have … Continue reading Maw – s/t

Gexerott – Hallucinetic Violet Ignition

April 29, 2021April 13, 2021 Vinterd

I don’t know about you, but it’s when black metal steps out of its typical boundaries to find new territory to call its own whether it’s territory we’ve been to before with a different band or a new name that … Continue reading Gexerott – Hallucinetic Violet Ignition

Osiris – Meanders A Soul…

April 28, 2021April 12, 2021 Vinterd

Of all the styles that I’ve come across that have the most obvious potential but we never really see it executed in a way that the more extreme ends of metal can really eat up, symphonic metal is easily the … Continue reading Osiris – Meanders A Soul…
