Riffocity – Under A Mourning Sky

April 2, 2017April 3, 2017 Vinterd

Movement of Static – Novelty Seekers

March 18, 2017August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 In a world where every single route of rock seems to be fleshed out all but completely, it still amazes me every single day that bands can still find a sound and therefore a niche in their respective styles. One … Continue reading Movement of Static – Novelty Seekers

Ordeal & Plight – s/t

March 6, 2017August 10, 2018 Vinterd

 Every so often, there’s a word that gets thrown around way too much in the metal, rock, heavy, etc. industry and it gets extremely old extremely fucking quick. Nowadays, that word is “post”. People just tack it onto every to call something … Continue reading Ordeal & Plight – s/t

Black Mirrors – Funky Queen

February 28, 2017 Vinterd

 I’ve always believed that rock is nowhere near dead as the original flame, however faint, is still going in today’s music industry. You just gotta do some digging and searching before you can find a band that truly has a … Continue reading Black Mirrors – Funky Queen

Kashgar – s/t

February 26, 2017February 27, 2017 Vinterd

 One of my absolute favorite things about hearing new music every single day is that every so often you find something that can only be described as unexpected. There’s many version of “unexpected”, and today’s case is easily my personal … Continue reading Kashgar – s/t

February 25, 2017 Vinterd

Insonus – Nemo Optavit Vivere

February 17, 2017 Vinterd

 Black metal has always been one of my go-to places for whenever I want something that’s either intense in every single way, or calm with refined chaos sewn through it. However, I’ve never really been into DSBM as, even though … Continue reading Insonus – Nemo Optavit Vivere

King Woman – Created in the Image of Suffering

February 14, 2017February 15, 2017 Vinterd

 There are so many fucking bands out there that try to take music to another plane when it comes down to putting your mind into an unprecedented state of euphoria. Several fail, miserably. However, there’s always a select group that … Continue reading King Woman – Created in the Image of Suffering
