Gatecreeper – An Unexpected Reality

January 28, 2021January 16, 2021 Vinterd

Marasmus – Necrotic Overlord

January 26, 2021December 24, 2020 Vinterd

Stortregn – Impermanence

January 23, 2021January 14, 2021 Vinterd

It’s every now and then that we get an album that really does challenge my previous conception of what I thought I was getting myself into, and it’s pretty much every single time that I find myself enjoying having my … Continue reading Stortregn – Impermanence

Yoth Iria – As The Flame Withers

January 20, 2021January 7, 2021 Vinterd

It’s not terribly unoften to see surprising material come from unsurprising sources. There will always be musicians from great bands that are still running today that haven’t played in them for however long that still have the itch to perform, … Continue reading Yoth Iria – As The Flame Withers

Breath – Primeval Transmissions

January 19, 2021January 7, 2021 Vinterd

January 18, 2021January 7, 2021 Vinterd

January 16, 2021January 2, 2021 Vinterd
