Primeval Well – Talkin’ in Tongues with Mountain Spirits

October 28, 2021October 22, 2021 Vinterd

There’s a special magic that’s to be had when you manage to successfully bring black metal together with something that we don’t see it come together with often by any stretch. Bringing it together with American folktales is something that … Continue reading Primeval Well – Talkin’ in Tongues with Mountain Spirits

Inferi – Vile Genesis

October 27, 2021October 13, 2021 Vinterd

Before a few years ago, the realm of technical death metal was quite an exclusive corner of extreme metal that didn’t have very many participants in its with their reach being limited at best even if the musicianship was always … Continue reading Inferi – Vile Genesis

Monobrow – A Decorative Piece of Time

October 26, 2021October 13, 2021 Vinterd

Of all the styles that are primed to take an instrumental turn and proceed to dominate much of the competition, doom is easily one that I’d want to see get the treatment of such more often than not. The style … Continue reading Monobrow – A Decorative Piece of Time

Noxis / Cavern Womb – Communion of Corrupted Minds

October 25, 2021October 10, 2021 Vinterd

If you ask me, there would very much seem to be a time machine that’s taken a good hold of a large swathe of the vast expanse of the underground that death metal reigns supreme over. Constantly, we’re hearing the … Continue reading Noxis / Cavern Womb – Communion of Corrupted Minds

Havukruunu – Kuu Erklyan Ylla

October 24, 2021October 10, 2021 Vinterd

Considering the hundreds of names that have been rising through the underground for years now, any one of us would be making a grave mistake should we not quickly bring up the name of Havukruunu for their rise has been … Continue reading Havukruunu – Kuu Erklyan Ylla

Conjureth – Majestic Dissolve

October 23, 2021October 13, 2021 Vinterd

The very base of the underground is a great place to find all sorts of nasty material whether it’s blatant worship of the greats of the past or bold exploration that has nothing to fear in any form. It’s one … Continue reading Conjureth – Majestic Dissolve

King Buffalo – Acheron

October 22, 2021October 22, 2021 Vinterd

Coming into 2021, one of the most exciting news of the year for any fan of heavy music was knowing that King Buffalo had plans to release three albums before the year’s end. However, given the state of things, namely … Continue reading King Buffalo – Acheron

Whitechapel – Kin

October 21, 2021October 14, 2021 Vinterd

At this point in their exemplary run, Whitechapel really shouldn’t need any introduction. Since the beginning, they’ve been priming themselves as one of the quintessential bands of deathcore in many people’s eyes with every album having something new and interesting … Continue reading Whitechapel – Kin

Bøg – Growth

October 20, 2021October 8, 2021 Vinterd

Unbridled heaviness is something that many corners of metal have an immensely good grasp on in some form or another, making it really easy for us listeners to be able to see it come in nearly infinite forms. Going all … Continue reading Bøg – Growth

Wombbath – Agma

October 19, 2021October 13, 2021 Vinterd

If we were to consider what all top-tier bands of death metal would be releasing material this year, I wouldn’t have put Wombbath on the list. We had just heard from the modern legends at the tail end of last … Continue reading Wombbath – Agma
