Religious Observance – Utter Discomfort

December 18, 2018 Vinterd

 Whenever I delve into the world of doom, I usually go for two distinct styles that I simply enjoy more often than most: long-winded and hypnotic experiences stretching on and on, or riff after riff that do naught but keep … Continue reading Religious Observance – Utter Discomfort

Elderwind – The Colder The Night

November 25, 2018November 26, 2018 Vinterd

 I’ve said it many times before and I’ll say it again: there is no other single style that can capture the ever-changing spirit of nature better than atmospheric black metal. We’ve gotten an absolute array of acts that have blown … Continue reading Elderwind – The Colder The Night

Gaetir, The Mountainkeeper – Fornjörð

November 22, 2018November 23, 2018 Vinterd

 The idea of being able to sit down and just let an album take you is something that has been around practically ever since the concept of artistic expression came into the human consciousness with music. Usually, I like to … Continue reading Gaetir, The Mountainkeeper – Fornjörð

Clouds – Dor

November 21, 2018 Vinterd

 More often than not, we as a people listen to music to feel better. It’s something we can all relate to, but every now and then we get something that strikes a different chord altogether. The concept of everything from … Continue reading Clouds – Dor

Arête – Hymnal

November 18, 2018November 19, 2018 Vinterd

Sol – Before We Disappear

October 12, 2018October 13, 2018 Vinterd

 The last time I saw a band take atmospheric doom metal to great lengths was Ommadon with their extreme take on that idea, and before that, it was Soothsayer back in 2015 with their delicious EP. Two examples over the … Continue reading Sol – Before We Disappear

Eighth Tower Records – Decay, Death and Darkness

October 7, 2018October 8, 2018 Vinterd

 If you’re even the slightest bit into dark art, as in illustrations with dark themes to them (no Harry Potter jokes here), you know the name of Beksiński at the drop of a hat. It’s all but iconic to where we … Continue reading Eighth Tower Records – Decay, Death and Darkness
