Malgöth – Primordial Dawn

January 31, 2021January 17, 2021 Vinterd

Much like the endless void of screams and death, the number of black/death metal bands is seemingly endless. It’s a fusion that virtually all of us are aware of in some form or another, and there are few ways to … Continue reading Malgöth – Primordial Dawn

Cult of Luna – The Raging River

January 30, 2021January 21, 2021 Vinterd

It’s a unique pleasure to see a worthy band make the transition into something far more than another band of whatever renown from whatever big or small label would take under any normal circumstances. The revered name of Cult of … Continue reading Cult of Luna – The Raging River

Ildskær – Paa Dækket Kalder de Døde

January 29, 2021January 16, 2021 Vinterd

If you ask me, there isn’t enough history in metal nowadays. Sure, we’ve seen a small surge of sorts from the many different styles from bands like 1914 and Minenwerfer (just to name two) coming out of the woodwork to … Continue reading Ildskær – Paa Dækket Kalder de Døde

Gatecreeper – An Unexpected Reality

January 28, 2021January 16, 2021 Vinterd

I think it’s safe to say that Gatecreeper has cemented themselves at the forefront of modern death metal by all accounts. Only being around for eight years, the name has become synonymous with next level, hard-hitting death metal that fucking … Continue reading Gatecreeper – An Unexpected Reality

January 24, 2021January 26, 2021 Vinterd

 When it comes to rising acts from the world of rock, especially heavy rock in all of its forms, there is truly no shortage of names to pull out of a hat. Any name has the potential for greatness with … Continue reading Stonus – Seance

Morpholith – Null Dimensions

January 17, 2021January 3, 2021 Vinterd

When it comes to psychedelia in some of its heaviest forms, doom metal is one of the best vessels to deliver that excellence and it’s no task whatsoever to see why that’s the case. It hasn’t been since Zaum’s last … Continue reading Morpholith – Null Dimensions

Begravement – Conjuring the Necromancer

January 16, 2021January 2, 2021 Vinterd

The very seething underbelly of the underground that death metal calls home is one of the most interesting places simply because you rarely know what you’re going to find. There’s everything from an extremely fresh and young act with not … Continue reading Begravement – Conjuring the Necromancer

Phase Transition – Relatively Speaking

January 14, 2021January 2, 2021 Vinterd

To create an enthralling piece of progressive metal is to think outside of the box in an already out-of-the-box style. It’s incredibly difficult to do even though the style is prime real estate for innovation given its very nature, but … Continue reading Phase Transition – Relatively Speaking

Lam – Liber K

January 12, 2021January 1, 2021 Vinterd

When the quarantines started going around the world, it was a truly dark time for the vast majority of us who felt like we had nothing to do, but, lucky for us, the musicians never stopped in their toiling. What … Continue reading Lam – Liber K

Demon King – The Final Tyranny

January 11, 2021December 31, 2020 Vinterd

The supernova-like explosion of technical death metal in the last few years has been an absolute joy to experience for any of us who are able to fall into what these bands are putting out, and it’s staggering to realize … Continue reading Demon King – The Final Tyranny
