Mongrel’s Cross – Psalter of the Royal Dragon Court

June 4, 2018 Vinterd

 Thrash has always been a tricky style for me to get into because there isn’t a lot of variation with regular thrash, death-, and black-infused being the three I’ve really only been able to come across. It’s far from a … Continue reading Mongrel’s Cross – Psalter of the Royal Dragon Court

Geisterfels – La névrose de la pierre

June 2, 2018June 3, 2018 Vinterd

 France is far from a country that is new to the world of metal as a whole with several notable acts coming from within its borders in recent years, namely Gojira. Yet, with the black metal act of Ende easily … Continue reading Geisterfels – La névrose de la pierre

Veldes – Storm Borrower

May 31, 2018June 1, 2018 Vinterd

 There are very few instances where I would ever label a band as underrated simply because I know how often the term gets thrown around. It really gets annoying sometimes, but if there is any single act out there that … Continue reading Veldes – Storm Borrower

Arallu – Desert Battles

May 24, 2018 Vinterd

 The idea of wanting to go back and polish up a past release is far from a new one as literally every single content creator of every variety, myself included, as either contemplated or attempted to go back and make … Continue reading Arallu – Desert Battles

Truchło Strzygi – Pora Umierać

May 15, 2018May 16, 2018 Vinterd

 Poland is far from a place that I would expect to find any variety of punk let alone black metal, but leave it to the world of metal to always keep me guessing where the next tasty piece is going … Continue reading Truchło Strzygi – Pora Umierać

Gravecoven – Coughing Blood

May 13, 2018May 14, 2018 Vinterd

 Creating a hybrid of metal is far from an easy task but it’s not exactly a mammoth one since there is a near-infinite amount of examples of hybrid metal that’s out there in the world nowadays. Yet, I still manage to … Continue reading Gravecoven – Coughing Blood

Trees, Clouds & Silence – Let Me Die On Your Roots

May 11, 2018May 12, 2018 Vinterd

 The black metal scene of Bandcamp as a whole is truly thriving more than it ever has, and the style that easily takes the place as the most saturated style has to be atmospheric black metal. I’m not sure if … Continue reading Trees, Clouds & Silence – Let Me Die On Your Roots

Sathanas – Necrohymns

May 9, 2018 Vinterd

 You would think that doing something consistently for thirty fucking years would get you a good deal of recognition in some form or another, right? A lot of the time, especially in music, the acts that go on for decades … Continue reading Sathanas – Necrohymns

Sleepwalker – 一期一会

May 7, 2018May 8, 2018 Vinterd

Asia has long been a continent with an aspiring metal scene that sadly doesn’t get enough attention from the rest of the metalheads of the world. It has given us many great acts in recent years of all sorts of … Continue reading Sleepwalker – 一期一会

Gaerea – Unsettling Whispers

May 2, 2018May 3, 2018 Vinterd

 Within the whole of the world of black metal, there’s undoubtedly plenty of exploration. Many bands explore the crevices and caverns that the style encompasses, but few tend to pave their own paths, create a new cavern themselves. Many tend … Continue reading Gaerea – Unsettling Whispers
