Elbrus – s/t

December 14, 2016December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 Somebody, please, tell me what the fuck is up with Australia. I don’t know what it is with that place. First, the beautiful land itself. Second, the dangerous wildlife that we non-Aussies have come to fear. Third, the fucking music … Continue reading Elbrus – s/t

Tardigrada – Emotionale Ödnis

November 22, 2016 Vinterd

 I sat down to look for an album today to talk words about and I was in the mood for black metal. No weak shit either I mean stuff that’s as aggressively in your face as it is spine chilling. … Continue reading Tardigrada – Emotionale Ödnis

Oni – Ironshore

November 8, 2016November 8, 2016 Vinterd

 There are some bands out there who are simply of the metalcore style but feel the need to lie to themselves and potential listeners by labeling themselves as prog metal for whatever reason. But what if there was a band … Continue reading Oni – Ironshore

Serpentine Dominion – s/t

October 13, 2016 Vinterd

 Let’s be honest here, alright? With all the supergroups to be excited about in terms of more well-known musicians from bigger bands, few had garnered as much anticipation, scrutiny, and interest than Serpentine Dominion. Their debut isn’t even out yet, … Continue reading Serpentine Dominion – s/t

God – God I

October 11, 2016August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 The name of a band can really tell a lot about the mindset of the band itself. It can be evidence that the band doesn’t take themselves too seriously or they’re being as serious as possible of the genre in … Continue reading God – God I

Mohraang – Underworld of Khorrendus

October 2, 2016October 3, 2016 Vinterd

 Much like how I think the cold, harsh lands of places like Canada and Scandinavia are some of the perfect places for any type of metal given how unforgiving environments they can be. Lately, you just don’t see a lot … Continue reading Mohraang – Underworld of Khorrendus

Gatecreeper – Sonoran Depravation

September 26, 2016 Vinterd

 I’m unfortunately part of a generation that came way after the closure of the old school of death metal, but that has not stopped me from searching out the ways of old, nor have the current times stopped bands from recreating … Continue reading Gatecreeper – Sonoran Depravation

Unearthed Elf – Into the Catacomb Abyss

September 17, 2016 Vinterd

 Saying you’d like to mesh a whole bunch of styles together to make something cohesive and not a giant fucking mess is one thing, but executing it is, of course, another thing entirely. Few have been able to do such, … Continue reading Unearthed Elf – Into the Catacomb Abyss

Azooma – Plague of Predator (single)

September 15, 2016January 1, 2021 Vinterd

 I understand the favoritism plays a big role in all sorts of criticism, and I’m no exception as I almost always do a review for a band I love that puts out new material. I try to be as fair … Continue reading Azooma – Plague of Predator (single)

Sumerlands – s/t

September 2, 2016March 14, 2017 Vinterd

 There has never, nor will there ever be, a problem with going back to the basics, square one, or whatever you wanna call the beginning. Respecting how something great started is always good if you ask me, and that goes … Continue reading Sumerlands – s/t
