Roots of the Old Oak – The Devil and His Wicked Ways

July 24, 2023July 13, 2023 Vinterd

When it comes to quality throughout the various different realms of metal, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a complaint when it comes to the state of death-doom metal be it in the modern era or in the past and … Continue reading Roots of the Old Oak – The Devil and His Wicked Ways

Snakes Don’t Belong In Alaska – Sounds of a Forming Planet

July 23, 2023July 15, 2023 Vinterd

By all accounts, there’s always more room for long-form pieces in the realms of both progressive and psychedelic rock. Each of those styles have become household name in their own right for different reasons, and there has always been a … Continue reading Snakes Don’t Belong In Alaska – Sounds of a Forming Planet

Feral / Crawl – Made As Those Who Are No Longer Alive

July 22, 2023July 9, 2023 Vinterd

Few things can compare to when Swedish death metal is done right. Some bands can break the sound down into a fascinating science with plenty trying their hand at the sound with it not being terribly often that we come … Continue reading Feral / Crawl – Made As Those Who Are No Longer Alive

Kvad – So Old

July 21, 2023July 9, 2023 Vinterd

Long has it been a trend that we put black metal of the Norwegian variety into a category all of its own. Why such a trend began I will not claim to not, but it easily grown into one of … Continue reading Kvad – So Old

Blasphemous Fire – Beneath the Darkness

July 20, 2023July 8, 2023 Vinterd

It tends to be the case that when we see a new name rise, it is from the closing of another name or simply the start of something new altogether. It’s not terribly often that we see a band go … Continue reading Blasphemous Fire – Beneath the Darkness

Subterranean Disposition – Individuation

July 19, 2023July 19, 2023 Vinterd

It is slowly becoming more constant that the world of doom metal is putting forth some truly bold creations that do more than simply go against the grain. At least, in my experience it is. Far from something that is … Continue reading Subterranean Disposition – Individuation

Finsterforst – Jenseits

July 18, 2023July 25, 2023 Vinterd

When your band makes waves, it can be quite the feat to keep that trend going. It’s one thing to make a singular piece that captures the attention of the masses, but it’s truly something to constantly impress. Since their … Continue reading Finsterforst – Jenseits

Terra Builder – Solar Temple

July 17, 2023July 13, 2023 Vinterd

Always, there are plenty of bands out there that try to carve their own path through the underground. Oftentimes, admirable attempts are made but not much ever comes of such efforts be it due to the band petering out for … Continue reading Terra Builder – Solar Temple

Ofnus – Time Held Me Grey and Dying

July 16, 2023July 7, 2023 Vinterd

Practically ever since the style came into existence, pain and existential suffering have long been a core part of what has made black metal what we all know it to be. Sometimes, we’re given works that draw from that concept … Continue reading Ofnus – Time Held Me Grey and Dying

Thorn – Evergloom

July 15, 2023June 17, 2023 Vinterd

Nothing can ever truly compare to an artist whose drive knows not when to stop nor how to deliver something that doesn’t immediately cause people from all over to gravitate toward its grandeur. We are lucky enough to live in … Continue reading Thorn – Evergloom
