Earth and Pillars – Pillars I

November 6, 2016November 6, 2016 Vinterd

 The global scene of metal itself it quite literally littered with atmospheric black metal bands of all kinds with most of them congregating on Bandcamp. While a lot of them can be discarded almost immediately because they’re simply cookie cutter … Continue reading Earth and Pillars – Pillars I

Panzerfaust – The Lucifer Principle

November 2, 2016November 3, 2016 Vinterd

 It’s the truly dark side of metal that can truly bring out some of the best material metal fans can experience, particularly in the underground scenes of the world. In Canada, we get interesting black metal pieces like Sorcier des … Continue reading Panzerfaust – The Lucifer Principle

Ravencult – Force of Profanation

October 30, 2016October 31, 2016 Vinterd

 I feel confident in saying that every sub-genre of metal has it’s own niche country that it can be easily associated with. Black metal gets Finland and death metal owns Sweden to name but two. But Greece? Well, they get … Continue reading Ravencult – Force of Profanation

Ysengrin / Sartegos – Resvrrezionespiritval

October 27, 2016 Vinterd

 Very rarely do people just a band’s potential quality based the record label they’re signed to simply because it just wouldn’t work the vast majority of the time. But if I want some straight nasty and darker than hell metal … Continue reading Ysengrin / Sartegos – Resvrrezionespiritval

Downfall of Gaia – Atrophy

October 25, 2016 Vinterd

 Art comes in many forms, and an artist can come in varying levels in terms of how important an artist think his/her own work is as a whole. Some like to think their work is the only work that there … Continue reading Downfall of Gaia – Atrophy

Cwealm – Odes to the Hereafter

October 20, 2016 Vinterd

 I’m not typically one for stereotypes as I find most of them pretentious and vastly unnecessary, but I, of course, am only human. For the longest time, I’ve assumed 100% of bands to come out of Gothenburg where of the melo-death … Continue reading Cwealm – Odes to the Hereafter

Itnuveth – Enchantments

October 17, 2016October 17, 2016 Vinterd

 Everyone who delves as far into the world of metal as I do has at least a couple of bands that hardly anyone anywhere has heard of, but every time that band puts out an album you find yourself investigating … Continue reading Itnuveth – Enchantments

CrystalMoors – The Mountain Will Forgive Us

October 14, 2016 Vinterd

 Every band has its own thing whether it be a specific style or certain sound that not many others have, that’s pretty obvious. What’s even clearer is how some bands stick out much more than others. One style that always … Continue reading CrystalMoors – The Mountain Will Forgive Us

Sepulchral Curse – At the Onset of Extinction

October 6, 2016October 7, 2016 Vinterd

 There are a few countries out there in the world that if I wanted to do a world tour of the best places to see metal at its finest, I’d go to quite a few places. Sweden, India, Greece, and … Continue reading Sepulchral Curse – At the Onset of Extinction

Mesarthim – .- -​.​.​. .​.​. . -. -​.​-​. .

October 4, 2016 Vinterd

 When it comes down to who literally dominates the metal scene of Bandcamp, there are quite a few names to be had. But with black metal, there are a few mammoths that constantly get the spotlight with every release: Saor, … Continue reading Mesarthim – .- -​.​.​. .​.​. . -. -​.​-​. .
