Mortuary Spawn – Spawned From the Mortuary

May 20, 2021May 9, 2021 Vinterd

There’s nothing quite like the first piece of material from an ear-catching, promising death metal band. The style has long been able to be classified as over-saturated for many different reasons, but it hasn’t been at any point that we … Continue reading Mortuary Spawn – Spawned From the Mortuary

Krilloan – Stories of Time Forgotten

May 16, 2021May 6, 2021 Vinterd

It’s all too often that we find ourselves swarmed by bombastic material with tons of energy and life to it that has the capacity that can feel downright invigorating, but it’s all too often that it feels lifeless. What’s the … Continue reading Krilloan – Stories of Time Forgotten

Birds of Nazca – s/t

May 15, 2021May 1, 2021 Vinterd

Should we take into consideration all of the instrumental rock bands that are luckily around today, we’d be here for weeks, no doubt. From names like My Sleeping Karma and The Re-Stoned to Kylver and The Mantle, we truly have … Continue reading Birds of Nazca – s/t

Human Failure – Crown On The Head Of A King Of Mud

May 12, 2021April 25, 2021 Vinterd

The fusion of death metal and noise has always been an interesting one, to say the least. It’s quite a concoction to mix together such infamous styles that are known to be harsh in even their most refined forms, but … Continue reading Human Failure – Crown On The Head Of A King Of Mud

Vela Pulsar – Memoirs Of Unbecoming

May 10, 2021April 25, 2021 Vinterd

When it comes to what we normally expect from black metal, dreary environments and only the darkest of emotions come to mind given how harsh and unforgiving the style has always been in a great majority of its forms, but … Continue reading Vela Pulsar – Memoirs Of Unbecoming

Polymerase – Unostentatious

May 7, 2021April 22, 2021 Vinterd

The true beauty of Bandcamp comes into play when you’re able to discover an album from a band that in no other way would you ever hear under any circumstances. It’s the great vast majority of the time that so … Continue reading Polymerase – Unostentatious

Herzschlager – All The Nights Are Done

May 4, 2021April 14, 2021 Vinterd

While many of us were more focused on the lack of shows that happened last year due to obvious reasons, there were some musicians who took advantage of main projects having to be put on hold as best they could … Continue reading Herzschlager – All The Nights Are Done

Devastating Light – I Have Already Failed You

May 1, 2021April 13, 2021 Vinterd

Whenever I see a musician who is deeply rooted in one style branch out to try something different whether it be within an already established band or creating a new one, I tend to stroke my beard slightly in interest. … Continue reading Devastating Light – I Have Already Failed You

Maw – s/t

April 30, 2021April 13, 2021 Vinterd

To blend together many different styles in order to craft a sound that you can really call your own is to really test your chops as a musician in my eyes for if you can accomplish that then you have … Continue reading Maw – s/t

Osiris – Meanders A Soul…

April 28, 2021April 12, 2021 Vinterd

Of all the styles that I’ve come across that have the most obvious potential but we never really see it executed in a way that the more extreme ends of metal can really eat up, symphonic metal is easily the … Continue reading Osiris – Meanders A Soul…
