Morgue – Lowest Depths of Misery

September 28, 2022September 23, 2022 Vinterd

Remina – Strata

September 27, 2022September 16, 2022 Vinterd

Tiwanaku – Earth Base One

September 25, 2022September 25, 2022 Vinterd

Mork – Den Svevende Festning

September 23, 2022September 22, 2022 Vinterd

Amken – Passive Aggression

September 21, 2022September 15, 2022 Vinterd

With how similar thrash metal has been over the decades, even the slightest change can feel like a vicious breath of fresh air. Amken more than fit that bill for me when I discovered them eight years ago despite their … Continue reading Amken – Passive Aggression

Samán – II. Montaña Roja

September 20, 2022September 11, 2022 Vinterd

Warforged – The Grove | Sundial

September 19, 2022September 18, 2022 Vinterd
