Bizarre – Invocation Codex

August 29, 2021August 17, 2021 Vinterd

The influence of Lovecraft cannot be understated. Bar select performances out of the dark realms of ambient and noise, metal is perhaps on the best styles that can really encapsulate the madness and overwhelming density of Lovecraftian lore with all … Continue reading Bizarre – Invocation Codex

Pillars of Cacophony – Parerga

August 27, 2021August 17, 2021 Vinterd

A debut is always hard to deliver on any sort of capacity with the slate being seductively clean which allows you to do whatever you want, but it can easily be the determining point for listeners if they feel they … Continue reading Pillars of Cacophony – Parerga

Dagtum – Revered Decadence

August 19, 2021August 9, 2021 Vinterd

A crushing, uncompromising heaviness is something that virtually every single death metal band strives for in some form or another, but it’s difficult to execute it with the right kind of power to actually do it all justice. It’s not … Continue reading Dagtum – Revered Decadence

August 17, 2021August 4, 2021 Vinterd

To talk even a moment about old school death metal, I can’t help but feel that it’s in the best shape that it’s been in for quite some time. The sheer diversity in acts from all across the world that … Continue reading Laceration – Demise

Carchosa – Realms

August 14, 2021August 4, 2021 Vinterd

Every year, the world of melodic death metal seems to get even more interesting. No matter if we’re strictly talking about the heavier side of the style or its more innovative, colorful side, or even both, melo-death is arguably in … Continue reading Carchosa – Realms

Thecodontion / Vessel of Iniquity – The Permian-Triassic Extinction Event

August 11, 2021August 2, 2021 Vinterd

  When we peer into history when looking through the lens of metal, it’s rare that we find ourselves going back any further than maybe a couple hundred years for one reason or another, but it’s truly rare to come … Continue reading Thecodontion / Vessel of Iniquity – The Permian-Triassic Extinction Event

Morbid Messiah – Disgorged in the Coffin

August 9, 2021July 28, 2021 Vinterd

If you ask me, Mexico is one of the countries that are wildly underrated for all that they offer to the world of heavy music with their ranks increasing in excellence year after year. For some time, though, I can’t … Continue reading Morbid Messiah – Disgorged in the Coffin

Cognitive – Malevolent Thoughts of a Hastened Extinction

August 7, 2021August 2, 2021 Vinterd
