ShiMa – Vol.01

November 21, 2017August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 When you’re like me and you’re constantly listening to the many forms of chaos that metal music tends to present itself in, a relief is something that can become a very welcome thing. It too can come in many different … Continue reading ShiMa – Vol.01

Earthbound – Endure

November 13, 2017November 14, 2017 Vinterd

 In this day and age, it is simply impossible for any new band to not have been influenced to the very core by the seemingly infinite number of bands that have come before. But being able to be influenced heavily … Continue reading Earthbound – Endure

Stavves – The Desert Gloats

November 11, 2017 Vinterd

 I’ve always felt like black metal can be put in environments much different than woods or space (despite how vast those locations can be made) because the chaos can be morphed so easily if put in the right hands. For … Continue reading Stavves – The Desert Gloats

Dark Waters End – Submersion

November 4, 2017November 5, 2017 Vinterd

 I’ve been a massive fan of death metal for years now as I’ve been slowly introducing myself to more and more of it so I can truly understand what the entirety of the genre is about. Yet despite my efforts, … Continue reading Dark Waters End – Submersion

Circle of Salt – Suffer the Cold

October 12, 2017October 17, 2017 Vinterd

 I’ve never really been big into re-releases or reissues of any kind other than simply because it helps new people discover old material that has both entertainment and enough flavor to still be relevant after the piece in question had … Continue reading Circle of Salt – Suffer the Cold

Birth of the Monolith – s/t

September 25, 2017 Vinterd

 There’s a tricky thing that new bands have to try and conquer in order to get a proper foothold in the world, and it’s nothing more than having a good sound. Sure, that sounds fucking stupid and practically trivial. But … Continue reading Birth of the Monolith – s/t

Precipices – La Pénombre de L’agir

September 24, 2017September 25, 2017 Vinterd

 The sound of black metal has always been one that has always been dependent on the setting of the music to really set the tone for the ensuing chaos. Many go for a forest setting, others space, and more go … Continue reading Precipices – La Pénombre de L’agir

Bütcher – Bestial Fükkin’ Warmachine

September 7, 2017 Vinterd

 Of all the styles that I listen to, perhaps the one that has the most amount of bands that try and fail miserably is undoubtedly thrash. Inspired by the likes of the Big Four, it seems so many metal heads … Continue reading Bütcher – Bestial Fükkin’ Warmachine

Hostilian – Monolith

August 26, 2017August 27, 2017 Vinterd

 For about the past year the one country that has yet to disappoint me is the nation of India when it comes to not only quality metal but also an abundance of new bands that undoubtedly carry the spirit of … Continue reading Hostilian – Monolith

Nyss – Princesse Terre (Three Studies of Life and Death)

August 19, 2017August 20, 2017 Vinterd

 The process of being experimental can lead to a lot of shit when you’re a metal band doing whatever you will. Black metal is the perfect vessel for experimentation as already dozens and dozens of styles have spawned for the … Continue reading Nyss – Princesse Terre (Three Studies of Life and Death)
