P.H.O.B.O.S. – Phlogiston Catharsis

July 17, 2018October 11, 2025 Vinterd

 With acts like Godflesh, Drug Honkey, and even Eyehategod, there’s certainly no shortage of industrial metal acts that take the genre to aggressively psychedelic lengths that are both terrifying but amazing to behold. It’s never really been my cup of … Continue reading P.H.O.B.O.S. – Phlogiston Catharsis

Mesarthim – Coma Wall

July 12, 2018July 13, 2018 Vinterd

 There are very few things as satisfying in the world of music as much as consistency. No, I don’t mean consistency in terms of sound even though it can be very nice if done correctly. In this instance, I’m referring … Continue reading Mesarthim – Coma Wall

Ignis – Sic Transit Gloria Mundi

July 10, 2018 Vinterd

 If you were to just glimpse at the black metal scene on Bandcamp for even a second, you’ll see that it’s the atmospheric variety that dominates an absolute fuck ton of the greater presence of black metal. It’s an interesting … Continue reading Ignis – Sic Transit Gloria Mundi

Itnuveth – Pagan Martyrs

July 8, 2018July 9, 2018 Vinterd

 Anyone who knows me knows that I follow Itnuveth incredibly close as they’re one of those bands that I just can’t get enough of. For over five years, they have been dishing out one marvelous example of pagan metal after … Continue reading Itnuveth – Pagan Martyrs

UADA – Cult of a Dying Sun

July 7, 2018 Vinterd

 It’s not very often that a band can put out a second album and already be one of the new names to know of the scene. UADA definitely made one fucking hell of an impact with their debut album, but … Continue reading UADA – Cult of a Dying Sun

Son ov Leviathan – Vi Veri Vniversum Vivus Vici

July 4, 2018 Vinterd

 There’s no shortage of Luciferian themes in the world of black metal, but I feel it’s not often enough that a band can take that concept and then proceed to actually make it sound great. Sure, you could sit there … Continue reading Son ov Leviathan – Vi Veri Vniversum Vivus Vici

Great Cold Emptiness – Miles Before I Sleep

July 2, 2018July 2, 2018 Vinterd

 If you’re even a little familiar with the current black metal scene you’ll notice that atmosphere is literally everywhere. It seems to permeate every layer of the scene, and at some point, there always come along a few bands that … Continue reading Great Cold Emptiness – Miles Before I Sleep

The Shiva Hypothesis – Ouroboros Stirs

July 1, 2018July 2, 2018 Vinterd

 Forgetting about a band because of one reason or another is something that we’re all guilty of, and I’m not a personal fan. I remember checking out the first bit of material that The Shiva Hypothesis put three years ago … Continue reading The Shiva Hypothesis – Ouroboros Stirs

Kuilu – Monumentti

June 9, 2018June 10, 2018 Vinterd

 It’s not hard to figure out that some of my favorite music comes from the realm of black and doom metal separately. Yet, I’ve never been ignorant of the fusing of the two together even though it’s something that I … Continue reading Kuilu – Monumentti

Progenie Terrestre Pura – starCross

June 5, 2018October 11, 2025 Vinterd

 Last year, the spacial entity known as Progenie Terrestre Pura took us on yet another trip across the cosmos. It was beautiful, intense, and an absolute joy to listen to that still permeates the album to this day. The band had … Continue reading Progenie Terrestre Pura – starCross
