Bleeding Malice – Thy Kingdom Come

September 2, 2021August 25, 2021 Vinterd

Far too often when I venture into the world of deathcore, I find a disappointing amount of imagination and, oddly enough, power. Power means absolutely nothing if you don’t have the skill to back it up with the consequence being … Continue reading Bleeding Malice – Thy Kingdom Come

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

Eaters of the Soil – s/t

August 16, 2021August 4, 2021 Vinterd

The very concept of experimentation in metal is something that makes my mouth salivate in immense excitement as much as it incites mass skepticism into my soul since anything experimental is the very definition of a gamble when we take … Continue reading Eaters of the Soil – s/t

Noltem – Illusions in the Wake

August 15, 2021August 4, 2021 Vinterd

There aren’t very many instances where we can look into the depths of a black metal release and feel like you’re looking at something beautiful given the very nature of the style itself, but black metal has never once been … Continue reading Noltem – Illusions in the Wake

Nuummite – Celetial Triarchy

August 10, 2021August 2, 2021 Vinterd

When we have a conversation about anything related to post-metal or post-rock, it tends to be the latter that dominates conversations simply due to the sheer volume of rock acts that take on post elements as opposed to its metal … Continue reading Nuummite – Celetial Triarchy

Vubar – Ad Conflandum in Horror

August 5, 2021July 26, 2021 Vinterd

The vast and diverse world of horror is something that I think death metal will never cease to draw inspiration from, for what better source could such a vicious genre draw inspiration from where one specializes in visual terror and … Continue reading Vubar – Ad Conflandum in Horror

Aegos – The Great Burst of Light

July 31, 2021July 19, 2021 Vinterd

On occasion, we get an album that truly does not deserve the fate of being categorized as opposed to the record being enjoyed for all that it is. When these acts come around and manage to provide us performances that … Continue reading Aegos – The Great Burst of Light

Sol Kia – Zos Ethos

July 20, 2021July 9, 2021 Vinterd

The implementation of psychedelia is always a tricky thing to pull off no matter what angle you’re approaching it from. While it tends to be in the many halls of doom that it finds a home there are certainly other … Continue reading Sol Kia – Zos Ethos

Inhuman Condition – RatºGod

July 1, 2021June 20, 2021 Vinterd

Truly, there are some musicians that seem like they can’t sit still for too long at any given time with them almost always releasing material at some time or another no matter what situation they may find themselves in. The … Continue reading Inhuman Condition – RatºGod
