Throwing Bricks – What Will Be Lost

May 13, 2020May 4, 2020 Vinterd

To bring together different styles in order to capture a different sound is something that we’ve seen hundreds of times across the history of metal, and it’s still something I get a lot of enjoyment out of to this day. … Continue reading Throwing Bricks – What Will Be Lost

Deviltook – At War With Gods

May 12, 2020May 3, 2020 Vinterd

The very fact that metal is as widespread as it is across the globe is a very fun thing because we get to see bands from more well-known places like Sweden to the US and lesser-known like Chile and India … Continue reading Deviltook – At War With Gods

Fargue – Phosphène

May 11, 2020May 2, 2020 Vinterd

A lot of styles out there really know how to grab my attention by doing something different or just sounding interesting, but anything related to drone has long been something that I’ve always had a solid interest in. It’s only … Continue reading Fargue – Phosphène

Vástígr – Aura Aeternitatis

May 10, 2020April 28, 2020 Vinterd

You know those albums that you saw spread like wildfire months ago that you remembered wanting to check out but just never did? This is one of those for me. I remember people going nuts over this release and I … Continue reading Vástígr – Aura Aeternitatis

Ostracist – Epoch

May 9, 2020April 28, 2020 Vinterd

Gothic material tends to be something that I don’t find myself enjoying as much as I feel I should be simply because the material tends to be lacking in multiple departments for me. Either from the overall quality or just … Continue reading Ostracist – Epoch

Exaugurate – Chasm of Rapturous Delirium

May 7, 2020April 27, 2020 Vinterd

Discovering some filthy death metal that’s actually worth its own salt is always a fun thing to find no matter the occasion because some proper nasty death metal isn’t quite like anything else out there. It can just as easily … Continue reading Exaugurate – Chasm of Rapturous Delirium

Foretoken – Ruin

May 4, 2020April 26, 2020 Vinterd

Creating something even a little different from the norm can result in an absolute world of difference even if you don’t realize it. Black metal can be especially subject to that as the style has long been filled with experimentation … Continue reading Foretoken – Ruin

Reverent Tales – Visceral

May 1, 2020April 24, 2020 Vinterd

It is always admirable to see a band try to blend together heaviness and melody as it’s a great concept on every level, but it can be pretty damn hard to pull off in a balanced way. It’s infectious when … Continue reading Reverent Tales – Visceral

Battle Born – s/t

April 30, 2020April 23, 2020 Vinterd

I am a guy that can just as easily love something that’s highly novel, unique, and outstanding in its originality, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say how much I love some good cheese. In the proper dosage, cheese can … Continue reading Battle Born – s/t

Pistilos Opium – Híbrido

April 27, 2020April 17, 2020 Vinterd

It’s likely been at least ten times that I’ve said it now and I am still not getting tired of saying it: death/doom has been doing nothing but deliver the goods in every instance for me for over a year … Continue reading Pistilos Opium – Híbrido
