Sojourner – Perennial

June 19, 2021June 4, 2021 Vinterd

Of all the rising bands that have come around in the last few years to surprise us with performances that are as dense as they are stunningly beautiful, Sojourner absolutely has to be one of the first bands mentioned in … Continue reading Sojourner – Perennial

Aureole – Alunarian Bellmaw

June 4, 2021May 22, 2021 Vinterd

A five-year silence from any band is enough to get the fans thinking if there is to be any follow-up coming in the future, especially when the social media presence for the act becomes minimal at best. Granted, the man … Continue reading Aureole – Alunarian Bellmaw

θoʊθ – Ruins of Gubla

May 28, 2021May 20, 2021 Vinterd

The raw heaviness factor is something that the world of death/doom can sometimes be too affiliated with since there is so much more to that style that can be done to gorgeous effect, but when the right band comes around … Continue reading θoʊθ – Ruins of Gubla

Odraza – Acedia

May 24, 2021May 15, 2021 Vinterd

It’s not terribly often that we find ourselves categorizing the many forms of black metal as “artistic expressions”. We tend to associate the style with simpler ideals like catharsis, internal suffering, religious blasphemy, or anything else with a flair of … Continue reading Odraza – Acedia

Eonian – The Nomad

May 23, 2021May 13, 2021 Vinterd

 It wasn’t long ago whatsoever that I reintroduced myself to the world of symphonic metal after having barely any interaction with the style in years with the occasional Fleshgod Apocalypse or Carach Angren song here or there being my experience … Continue reading Eonian – The Nomad

Zorya – Primeval

May 21, 2021May 9, 2021 Vinterd

To have an atmosphere is not always to have quality. That’s a concept that far too many bands have struggled with for one reason or another with many thinking that a thick atmosphere leads to a worthwhile experience, but it … Continue reading Zorya – Primeval

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

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
