Concilium – Desecration

June 30, 2021June 12, 2021 Vinterd

The word “dissonant” seems to get tossed around a lot when considering what a lot of death and black metal manage to create when they’re brought together, but it’s not nearly often enough that it’s a fitting descriptor as far … Continue reading Concilium – Desecration

Cavern Deep – s/t

June 29, 2021June 12, 2021 Vinterd

There are some works that are virtually destined to be called genius. However, genius comes in many different variations with the strength of such genius varying from one work to the next especially when it comes to the complexity of … Continue reading Cavern Deep – s/t

Pagansarv – Kaarnakarva

June 21, 2021June 6, 2021 Vinterd

There aren’t very many styles of metal that I tend to have a high bar for since I tend to be very accepting of a lot of what all bands bring forth no matter how experienced or not they are, … Continue reading Pagansarv – Kaarnakarva

Sarmat – RS-28

June 17, 2021June 4, 2021 Vinterd

War is far from a fresh topic to the world of metal much less music as a whole, but it’s simply one of those topics that never seems to overstay its welcome nor does it disappoint when it’s given to … Continue reading Sarmat – RS-28

Dimwind – Slow Wave Violence

June 12, 2021May 31, 2021 Vinterd

The vast majority of the time, it’s within the vast world of rock that instrumental acts tend to find a home in rather than in the world of metal. Something about rock is more appealing to instrumental acts out there, … Continue reading Dimwind – Slow Wave Violence

Doubtsower – Asphyxiation of a Seasick Soul

June 8, 2021May 29, 2021 Vinterd

Being able to come from a different musical background to cross genre lines to challenge yourself as a musician is something that I will always respect out of those who dare to attempt it, but, as you might expect, success … Continue reading Doubtsower – Asphyxiation of a Seasick Soul

Coffin Lurker – Foul and Defiled

June 1, 2021May 21, 2021 Vinterd

The world of doom and all that it can contain is truly a marvel the likes of which does not exist anywhere else in the entirety of the music world, and it’s thanks to such a unique identity that we’re … Continue reading Coffin Lurker – Foul and Defiled

Stöner – Stoners Rule

May 31, 2021January 20, 2023 Vinterd

We can’t go far in the world of desert rock when it comes to noteworthy names without encountering some key players not even two feet in. Names like Brant Bjork, Nock Oliveri and Ryan Gut all have a massive place … Continue reading Stöner – Stoners Rule

θoʊθ – Ruins of Gubla

May 28, 2021May 20, 2021 Vinterd

The raw heaviness factor is something that the world of death/doom can sometimes be too affiliated with since there is so much more to that style that can be done to gorgeous effect, but when the right band comes around … Continue reading θoʊθ – Ruins of Gubla

Metal, SymphonicLeave a comment

Eonian – The Nomad

May 23, 2021May 13, 2021 Vinterd

 It wasn’t long ago whatsoever that I reintroduced myself to the world of symphonic metal after having barely any interaction with the style in years with the occasional Fleshgod Apocalypse or Carach Angren song here or there being my experience … Continue reading Eonian – The Nomad
