Inter Arma – The Cavern

Vinterd

 To those of you out there who love songs that are very long and keep your attention the entire time, I have this to say : you haven’t seen shit yet. Inter Arma’s brand new album “The Cavern” is a one track album (album, not single) that lasts an astounding 45 minutes and 44 seconds. Forty-five minutes! Holy fuck! “The Cavern” is one of the most amazing tracks that I’ve ever heard in my life. It has fast moments, slow moments, and moments that just sound fucking amazing. To me it’s like if someone took “Master of Puppets” made it better, … Continue reading Inter Arma – The Cavern

Letheria – III Mockery

Vinterd

 Finland! That name alone should carry some weight among the metal community. I can say with confidence that there is at least one band that originated from Finland that has mastered at least one of the many metal genres. While Letheria isn’t one of those masters, they are close in my opinion. But they have managed to make an excellent album that combines black, death, and thrash metal into one great piece of brutal work that isn’t one to be taken lightly. “III Mockery” is an album that has all the great aspects of those three genres and they all … Continue reading Letheria – III Mockery

Myrkur (self-titled)

Vinterd

 This is probably, by far, the best one-man band I’ve ever heard. Except in this case this is a one-woman band. Yes indeed, Myrkur is a band consisting of only a single woman and a very talented one at that. “Myrkur” contains many elements of black metal and yet very atmospheric sounds that really help give the songs a very serene feel to them until the metal comes along and tears it up like all good black metal musicians do. There aren’t any conventional vocals either. By “conventional” I mean that there are vocals, but not lyrics, and what I’m … Continue reading Myrkur (self-titled)

Xerath – III

Vinterd

 “III” was released yesterday and it’s as amazing as I thought it was going to be. It had amazing sound with the guitars, vocals, and drums all having badass tone and sound all throughout this album and that makes it fucking great. Xerath reincorporates the use of atmospheric sounds that they used in their single “I Hold Dominion” to make the songs that they’re used in sound all the more epic and fantastic. I really wish many more people would know of this band because Xerath is one of those groups that have somehow gone undetected among the greater part of the … Continue reading Xerath – III

Xerath – I Hold Dominion (single)

Vinterd

 I’ve never heard of Xerath before and I really wish I have. Apparently their new album “III” releases this Tuesday on their Bandcamp page and I cannot wait judging by their single “I Hold Dominion”. It has amazing sound to it. With the use of the atmospheric sounds that are used much more heavily by “epic” metal bands, Xerath made it not so dominate but made it a sort of background noise much like what Alestorm did in their debut “Captain Morgan’s Revenge” where it was utilized to the point that it made the songs more epic when mixed with the guitars and vocals. … Continue reading Xerath – I Hold Dominion (single)

Endzeit – Years of Hunger

Vinterd

 Black metal has never really been my forte, but it has its moments. This is definitely one of those fine moments. As Endzeit’s upcoming EP, “Years of Hunger” will be definitely one to grab for all you black metal fanatics out there who are looking for something new yet familiar to what you know and love. Each song from this album is energetic and really has a literal pulse of its own that never ends until the very end of the album itself. The vicious beat itself will definitely get some of your heads banging in no time and the … Continue reading Endzeit – Years of Hunger

Abolition A.D. – After Death Before Chaos

Vinterd

 “After Death Before Chaos” is a real treat for black metal fans because Abolition A.D. takes their debut album and gives people a real smasher that can get many people going. This album definitely has a dark theme that many people listen to and enjoy everyday because it’s their kind of music which I’ve got nothing against, of course. People will listen to whatever they listen to. The album has a very raw and destructive sound and feel to it which makes it an all the more better black metal album because that’s what they’re supposed to be. The vocals … Continue reading Abolition A.D. – After Death Before Chaos
