Exsul – s/t

December 25, 2020December 9, 2020 Vinterd

December 20, 2020December 2, 2020 Vinterd

Steingrab – Malum Genesis

December 18, 2020December 2, 2020 Vinterd

The classic vein of black metal is something that’s always been a tremendous thing in many ways, but it’s in many cases that many decide to stick with that sound exclusively throughout an album for one reason or another. It’s … Continue reading Steingrab – Malum Genesis

Voreus – The Proclamation

December 13, 2020November 25, 2020 Vinterd

Bestial Warfare – Desecrating Goat Assault

December 9, 2020November 22, 2020 Vinterd

It’s oftentimes that we can find the best works are the ones that don’t do anything new for the most part with black and death metal being a constant union that’s been awesome to behold for a long time now, … Continue reading Bestial Warfare – Desecrating Goat Assault

Nebula Orionis – Aether

December 7, 2020November 19, 2020 Vinterd

It’s hard to think of an area where the seemingly endless expanse of atmospheric black metal could end by any means with it feeling like every other band has been doing their best to push the boundaries of the style … Continue reading Nebula Orionis – Aether

Saarkoth – Cult of Nature

December 4, 2020November 17, 2020 Vinterd

To see an album of this style find itself wrapped in nature is far from something that should be considered new by any and all accounts. It’s a trend in the world of black metal that some are surely getting … Continue reading Saarkoth – Cult of Nature

Phalanx Inferno – The Age of Anti-Aquarius

December 1, 2020November 16, 2020 Vinterd

The metal community at large is something that will never be lacking when it comes to acts that are blasphemous for one reason or another whether or not that is a reflection of the band members or simply seeking a … Continue reading Phalanx Inferno – The Age of Anti-Aquarius

Trup – KE

November 30, 2020November 25, 2020 Vinterd

It’s hard to think about how any band could make the combination of death and black metal more chaotic in all of its glorious madness without making it tumbling down very swiftly. The addition of noise is something that many … Continue reading Trup – KE

Okrutnik – Legion Antychrysta

November 22, 2020November 4, 2020 Vinterd

There’s never enough bands of the weird combination of black and heavy metal, and I’ve never been sure exactly why. It’s an endlessly promising mixture of sounds that have so much excellence done at any given moment so long as … Continue reading Okrutnik – Legion Antychrysta
