Moloch Conspiracy /Araphel / Veiled Monk – Trinitas Sanctus

May 10, 2018 Vinterd

 One of the genres that I’ve been meaning to spend more time in than anything outside of metal is the world of ambiance. It’s such a rich, complex style from the likes of dungeon synth to dark ambient to noise … Continue reading Moloch Conspiracy /Araphel / Veiled Monk – Trinitas Sanctus

Ols – Mszarna

March 27, 2018March 28, 2018 Vinterd

 Any neofolk album is a bold move in it of itself if you ask me. Many musicians dare to try and embody nature and bring it into a format that can properly convey the beauty, tenacity, and the violence of nature … Continue reading Ols – Mszarna

Cryo Chamber Collaboration – Yog-Sothoth

December 26, 2017 Vinterd

 Many times people see the word “collaboration” and think it’s some small-scale thing that two or three artists come together to create a different sound than what they typically perform. But if you’re at all familiar with the label of … Continue reading Cryo Chamber Collaboration – Yog-Sothoth

Neraterræ – The NHART Demo[n]s

November 24, 2017November 25, 2017 Vinterd

 I’ve always been intrigued by the genre of ambiance simply because of how you can make something incredibly dissonant be so amazingly interactive and intimate at the same time. Then the simple fact that the style can be taken in … Continue reading Neraterræ – The NHART Demo[n]s

Widziadło – Void

September 20, 2017September 21, 2017 Vinterd

 With each style of metal comes a specific environment that can fit each style quite nicely. Doom metal gets places akin to a graveyard at dusk where the fog covers the ground, death metal gets a slaughterhouse that has blood … Continue reading Widziadło – Void

Progenie Terrestre Pura – oltreLuna

June 12, 2017June 12, 2017 Vinterd

 Have you ever wondered what it would be like to explore the great vast beyond our tiny blue orb? Metal hasn’t really been a respectable vessel when it comes to wandering the last frontier, but few bands such as Mesarthim … Continue reading Progenie Terrestre Pura – oltreLuna

Haate – Crystal: Farewell

March 23, 2017March 24, 2017 Vinterd

 Prior to a few months ago, I had always been into metal infused with loads of atmosphere but not the style of music that’s simply titled “noise”. Mainly because I always felt it needed more, but recently some switched flipped … Continue reading Haate – Crystal: Farewell
