Thecodontion – Supercontinent

May 19, 2020May 9, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not really all that often that I find myself sitting here thinking about prehistoric-themed death metal talking about the various supercontinents that have come across the planet over hundreds of millions of years (or billions, the jury is still … Continue reading Thecodontion – Supercontinent

Throwing Bricks – What Will Be Lost

May 13, 2020May 4, 2020 Vinterd

To bring together different styles in order to capture a different sound is something that we’ve seen hundreds of times across the history of metal, and it’s still something I get a lot of enjoyment out of to this day. … Continue reading Throwing Bricks – What Will Be Lost

Deviltook – At War With Gods

May 12, 2020May 3, 2020 Vinterd

The very fact that metal is as widespread as it is across the globe is a very fun thing because we get to see bands from more well-known places like Sweden to the US and lesser-known like Chile and India … Continue reading Deviltook – At War With Gods

May 10, 2020April 28, 2020 Vinterd

You know those albums that you saw spread like wildfire months ago that you remembered wanting to check out but just never did? This is one of those for me. I remember people going nuts over this release and I … Continue reading Vástígr – Aura Aeternitatis

Sojourner – Premonitions

May 10, 2020 Vinterd

I’ve long been proud of the fact that I’ve witnessed the rise of a good number of bands in my time doing these reviews. Some of them were pretty quick, others still in progress like what I’m witnessing with Howling … Continue reading Sojourner – Premonitions

Wilczyca – Horda

May 6, 2020April 27, 2020 Vinterd

There have been a great many times that I find myself listening to the rawest of black metal and can easily find myself either enjoying it or just finding it boring. Like every style, it really comes down to the … Continue reading Wilczyca – Horda

Foretoken – Ruin

May 4, 2020April 26, 2020 Vinterd

Creating something even a little different from the norm can result in an absolute world of difference even if you don’t realize it. Black metal can be especially subject to that as the style has long been filled with experimentation … Continue reading Foretoken – Ruin

Coffinwood – Storm of Steel

April 25, 2020April 17, 2020 Vinterd

It would be a stretch to say that there has been a surge of black/death/whatever metal bands embracing WWI history in their music in recent years, but we would be remiss to say that there haven’t been a number of … Continue reading Coffinwood – Storm of Steel

Boreal – The Battle of VOSAD

April 20, 2020April 12, 2020 Vinterd

Mixing black metal with dungeon synth is far from a novel concept nowadays with the latter seeing a crazy explosion in recent years, and when it’s done right the combo can make for something really, really interesting. But, like a … Continue reading Boreal – The Battle of VOSAD

Daelkyr – Eternal Decay

April 18, 2020April 11, 2020 Vinterd

More often than not, whenever I go to listen to black metal, I want some real substance to it. I can very happily listen to some straight forward and raw black metal with bands like Ende constantly on my radar, … Continue reading Daelkyr – Eternal Decay
