Gaerea – Limbo

July 26, 2020July 8, 2020 Vinterd

It was just a little over three years ago when the world was given something that could easily be considered game-changing by many in extreme opinions to, at the very least, something that cannot be missed whatsoever. “Unsettling Whispers” from … Continue reading Gaerea – Limbo

Ancient Gate – Empire Beyond Dusk

July 20, 2020July 6, 2020 Vinterd

Black metal has on multiple occasions sought to tackle themes and settings that can only be described as nothing else than absolutely epic. It’ll always depend on the band in question on what kind of epic you’re to get, and … Continue reading Ancient Gate – Empire Beyond Dusk

Ars Magna Umbrae – Apotheosis

July 18, 2020July 1, 2020 Vinterd

It’s been far too long since I’ve been able to sit down, listen to some properly scathing black metal, and come out of it feeling like I’ve actually heard something that left at least a little bit of an impact. … Continue reading Ars Magna Umbrae – Apotheosis

Panzerfaust – The Suns of Perdition – Chapter II: Render Unto Eden

July 14, 2020June 29, 2020 Vinterd

The sheer number of albums that are constantly coming out that someone might consider “pre-order worthy” is both far too high and extremely dependent on who you’re talking to. I could sit here and tell you that you need to … Continue reading Panzerfaust – The Suns of Perdition – Chapter II: Render Unto Eden

Moonthoth – Zmora

July 10, 2020June 27, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not terribly often that we witness bands that have struggled to get out of the demo stage of their existence without first putting out at least an EP or full-length within maybe five or six years. To see a … Continue reading Moonthoth – Zmora

Battle Dagorath – Abyss Horizons

July 8, 2020June 23, 2020 Vinterd

There are so many different bands across the vast reaches of the atmospheric black metal world that it’s likely impossible to keep track of them all much less know where all the good ones are. Fortunately, though, some tend to … Continue reading Battle Dagorath – Abyss Horizons

Vokodlok – Oracle’s Fury

July 4, 2020June 16, 2020 Vinterd

I’m a firm believer in when any band that’s been apart for well over a decade comes back together for a terrific album that it’s a time for celebration. Rarely is it a time where bad material is thrown around … Continue reading Vokodlok – Oracle’s Fury

Vampiric – Supernatural Tales

June 29, 2020June 14, 2020 Vinterd

There are many instances of tons of different bands constantly pumping out material at an alarming rate to where, like many things, it’s impossible to keep up with them all. By far, my favorite of these lands on the name … Continue reading Vampiric – Supernatural Tales

Leeches – A Plague in the Heart of Light

June 26, 2020June 9, 2020 Vinterd

The seeming infinite reaches of the underground black metal world is something that’s as much of a boon as it is difficult in my experience. One on hand, so much innovation, talent, and intensity that graces every release in some … Continue reading Leeches – A Plague in the Heart of Light

Wraith / Bastardizer – Speed Armageddon

June 22, 2020June 17, 2020 Vinterd

Have you ever heard a split before and felt that the two bands in question where a perfect match in every way, shape, and form to the point where they should always fucking be on tour together? It simply doesn’t … Continue reading Wraith / Bastardizer – Speed Armageddon
