Aglo – Into the Maze

February 1, 2023January 21, 2023 Vinterd

Minenwerfer – Feuerwalze

January 31, 2023January 21, 2023 Vinterd

For some, sitting in one sonic territory simply isn’t good enough. Some take many years to make the transition to something different for some reason or another, but some manage to make every album something different. Given what was laid … Continue reading Minenwerfer – Feuerwalze

Stöner – Boogie to Baja

January 30, 2023January 30, 2023 Vinterd

It hasn’t already been two years since the band’s first offering, and the very name of Stöner has yet to lose even one iota of its luster. Consisting of living legends that have always had more than their own fair … Continue reading Stöner – Boogie to Baja

Dragoncorpse – The Drakketh Saga

January 29, 2023January 20, 2023 Vinterd

  Just when you think you’ve seen most of what there is to be seen in the world of metal, there’s an inexplicable, almost random curveball that no one ever could have predicted. Be it melodic death metal taken to … Continue reading Dragoncorpse – The Drakketh Saga

Hellripper – Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags

January 28, 2023January 20, 2023 Vinterd

In the right conditions, a single name can utterly dominate. It normally takes time for a name to ascertain a reputation that is bold and massive enough to really grab the attention of listeners at large with many worthwhile acts … Continue reading Hellripper – Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags

Acid King – Beyond Vision

January 27, 2023January 19, 2023 Vinterd

For all that the vast world of psychedelia has been able to bring forth over the decades, I still find myself very comfortable in making the claim that we are in a true golden age for anything that dares to … Continue reading Acid King – Beyond Vision

Enisum – Forgotten Mountains

January 26, 2023January 15, 2023 Vinterd

With all the names floating around in the world of atmospheric black metal, it’s only natural that a select few would rise to the top to become true staples of the sound. For some time now, it has been undisputed … Continue reading Enisum – Forgotten Mountains

Desperation Eclipse – Heights of Negation

January 25, 2023January 15, 2023 Vinterd

When we’re immersed in the world of funeral doom, we’re already in a bit of a small room. It’s a real niche sound that doesn’t have much in way of a dense crowd with what only feels like a handful … Continue reading Desperation Eclipse – Heights of Negation

Ciemra – The Tread of Darkness

January 24, 2023January 15, 2023 Vinterd

It can often feel like we’re drowning in more ways than one in the modern world of black metal. Names popping up all over the place, quality from decades ago still coming about to keep their claim to glory, oversaturation … Continue reading Ciemra – The Tread of Darkness

Tumulation – Savage Blood Domain

January 23, 2023January 14, 2023 Vinterd

Once in a while, we’re dealt a card that none of us could have seen coming. Alone, that is already more than enough to catch the attention of many the world over with such an event able to really sway … Continue reading Tumulation – Savage Blood Domain
