Insonus – The Will To Nothingness

January 11, 2019 Vinterd

 The average metal fan on Bandcamp could tell you that saying there are a few atmospheric black metal acts out there would be a complete and total understatement, and trawling through them all to find something worth its own salt … Continue reading Insonus – The Will To Nothingness

A Vintage Death – Acrid Death Fragrance

January 6, 2019 Vinterd

 In today’s climate, it can be really hard to stand out if you’re just starting out as you’ve gotta compete with the tons of other acts out there which have either been around for years or are also just starting … Continue reading A Vintage Death – Acrid Death Fragrance

Witchers Creed – Awakened From the Tomb…

January 5, 2019 Vinterd

 The original brand of doom is one of those things that have seemingly gone out of style in recent times, but there are always a few select characters out in the world who refuse to let it die. It’s not … Continue reading Witchers Creed – Awakened From the Tomb…

Automb – Esoterica

January 1, 2019January 2, 2019 Vinterd

 There’s not even black metal in America, these days. Sure, there are plenty of notable acts that have made names for themselves over the decades, but it feels like every new act of black metal comes from everywhere except America, … Continue reading Automb – Esoterica

Kosmos Brenner – Cosmic Pyre

December 31, 2018January 1, 2019 Vinterd

 When I sat down tonight to find something to listen to, at first I wanted something psychedelic so I went and looked for some trippy rock to end the day with, and found nothing. So then I thought something atmospheric … Continue reading Kosmos Brenner – Cosmic Pyre

Vampiric – Death Tore Through

December 30, 2018December 31, 2018 Vinterd

 I’ve always been the sort of guy to really dig listening into a band’s very first steps because I love hearing something that could’ve very easily been spawned in someone’s basement or garage. It’s a very raw thing that we … Continue reading Vampiric – Death Tore Through

Ardormort – s/t

December 29, 2018December 30, 2018 Vinterd

 A lot of times we see many new acts manned by just one person, and sometimes we get some truly engaging material that seems amazing that it came from the mind of a single human. But, as you might expect, … Continue reading Ardormort – s/t

Black Viper – Hellions of Fire

December 25, 2018 Vinterd

 In today’s metal climate, it’s very important to people like me to get something different in our collections so that we’re not listening to the same fucking thing over and over again, but every and then there’s a surprisingly welcome … Continue reading Black Viper – Hellions of Fire

Croc Noir – Mort

December 21, 2018 Vinterd

 There are many times that I need even the briefest of breaks from a style simply because I don’t want to tire myself or even go far enough as to burn myself out with it for a little, and it … Continue reading Croc Noir – Mort

Ritualizer – Blood Oaths

December 16, 2018 Vinterd

 You know… it’s been too long since I heard a solid slab of classic-esque heavy metal that really got me going. The last time that happened would easily have to be the last Vhaldemar album which is still fucking top … Continue reading Ritualizer – Blood Oaths
