Ashen Tomb – s/t

November 4, 2022October 26, 2022 Vinterd

There is always a time and place for massive, grandiose works that leave us in awe of what’s been created as we’re faced with something that can only be considered the very epitome of artistic expression and music pushed to … Continue reading Ashen Tomb – s/t

Skythala – Boreal Despair

November 1, 2022October 24, 2022 Vinterd

Slowly but surely, we’re seeing orchestral implementation and experimentation taking place in the world of extreme metal. For those unfamiliar with such an idea, it sounds downright alien and unachievable by all accounts given how different the two can be, … Continue reading Skythala – Boreal Despair

Arkæon – Parasit

October 24, 2022October 19, 2022 Vinterd

Given enough time in certain circumstances, we can witness musicians turn to material more challenging than what they’ve performed before whether it be out of a notion to challenge themselves as musicians or craft something wholly different altogether. Such is … Continue reading Arkæon – Parasit

Incantvm – Strigae

October 19, 2022October 5, 2022 Vinterd

Every so often, we’re treated to an act that truly does live up to the level of being considered esoteric. From virtually all angles, these creations are exceedingly distant from the mainstream for one reason or another as the musicians … Continue reading Incantvm – Strigae

Mournument – Smouldering Into Dust

October 18, 2022October 12, 2022 Vinterd

Not often enough do we find the worlds of doom and folk metal intersecting in any form. It’s my firm belief that such a concoction can render some of the most compelling, heaviest, and thought-provoking material that the underground can … Continue reading Mournument – Smouldering Into Dust

Depths Above – Ex Nihilo

October 17, 2022October 4, 2022 Vinterd

Since some of the earliest iterations of black metal, religion has been a big player in the style both sonically and thematically. Considering its stance against such institutions, the bleak madness of hell and the ever-wide maw of death spurned … Continue reading Depths Above – Ex Nihilo

Stone Nomads – Fields of Doom

October 9, 2022September 28, 2022 Vinterd

A good, quality crunch is something that simply can’t be likened to anything else. It’s satisfying in absolute heaps, compelling in many if not all of its forms, and the sort of thing that entire genres have been crafted around … Continue reading Stone Nomads – Fields of Doom

The Otolith – Folium Limina

October 3, 2022September 29, 2022 Vinterd

Only on occasion do we get a name in any given realm of extreme metal that manages to not only push the envelope of what we deem to be possible but one that achieves far more whilst always blowing away … Continue reading The Otolith – Folium Limina

Remina – Strata

September 27, 2022September 16, 2022 Vinterd

With all the different paths the world of doom metal has taken over the years, it’s only natural that we get some relatively outlandish creations that manage to not only capture our imagination but provide us with new avenues into … Continue reading Remina – Strata

Tiwanaku – Earth Base One

September 25, 2022September 25, 2022 Vinterd

It’s the norm to wait years for any band to release new material or any at all, that much is simply expected in the world of music. Yet, when it takes decades for a performance to wholly come together, it … Continue reading Tiwanaku – Earth Base One
