Sadistik Forest – Morbid Majesties

March 25, 2018March 26, 2018 Vinterd

 There’s always a band out there for everyone that just sneaks up on them from out of fucking nowhere. I heard whispers of Sadistik Forest in recent years, but I’ve just never listened to them for no particular reason, but … Continue reading Sadistik Forest – Morbid Majesties

Coffin Rot – s/t

March 24, 2018March 25, 2018 Vinterd

 The old school of death metal has always had a very exclusive list of graduates in recent years simply because it’s incredibly hard to pull it off in modern times solely because we’re no longer in the “old school” era. … Continue reading Coffin Rot – s/t

Abjection Ritual – Soul of Ruin, Body of Filth

March 20, 2018October 11, 2025 Vinterd

 Death metal is a style that I believe doesn’t get enough experimentation anymore as many bands go down a few, better-known paths that are appealing to listeners of an already pre-made group. Not often enough do we find bands that … Continue reading Abjection Ritual – Soul of Ruin, Body of Filth

Hinayana – Order Divine

March 12, 2018March 13, 2018 Vinterd

 The world of death and doom metal has always been one that’s a weird gray area for me simply because far too many bands don’t know how to properly balance it all out. Then throwing in a strong element of … Continue reading Hinayana – Order Divine

De Profundis – The Blinding Light of Faith

March 10, 2018 Vinterd

 Ever since extreme metal has been a thing, there has always been a sense of anti-religion or even just a simply distaste for anything having to do with modern religion. It’s been a terrific topic to convey plenty of brutality, … Continue reading De Profundis – The Blinding Light of Faith

Shrine of the Serpent – Entropic Disillusion

March 6, 2018 Vinterd

 Just about every metalhead who scours the underground has come across one budding group or another and stuck to that group through years, watching them as they grow. I’ve been lucky enough to witness some promising acts rise from another … Continue reading Shrine of the Serpent – Entropic Disillusion

Rivers of Nihil – Where Owls Know My Name

March 4, 2018January 1, 2021 Vinterd

 A constant theme that I’ve noticed when it comes to newer bands versus older bands is that many people prefer older groups. That’s understandable since those bands have been around longer, know what they’re doing (usually) and have had plenty … Continue reading Rivers of Nihil – Where Owls Know My Name

Depravity – Evil Upheaval

March 2, 2018March 3, 2018 Vinterd

 Whenever I hear of new metal from anywhere I almost always have an instinctive impulse to check and see where the band is from. If I see the band in question is from Australia, I get excited because that country … Continue reading Depravity – Evil Upheaval

Ilsa – Corpse Fortress

February 24, 2018February 24, 2018 Vinterd

 If you search long and hard enough in the metal underground, you’ll come across some real filthy shit that doesn’t abash itself by censoring themes or lyrics. Instead, they thrive in it. Most of these bands tend not to get … Continue reading Ilsa – Corpse Fortress

The Crown – Cobra Speed Venom

February 23, 2018 Vinterd

 A band that has been around for decades are the kind that many people cling to given how those bands understandably almost always have a taste of classic material within their sound given that’s when they started things off as a … Continue reading The Crown – Cobra Speed Venom
