Panopticon – …And Again Into The Light

May 26, 2021May 15, 2021 Vinterd

The name that always leaps out to me when we take into consideration the massive wave of atmospheric black metal in the last number of years has always been Panopticon. At every turn, the name has become synonymous with many … Continue reading Panopticon – …And Again Into The Light

Legends of the Desert: Volume 1 – Palehorse/Palerider & Lord Buffalo

September 16, 2020August 30, 2020 Vinterd

There are few things that get me stroking my beard in immense interest as a solid and worthwhile split between two awesome bands. Lord Buffalo has been a constant in my listening habits for years now, and Palehorse/Palerider has been … Continue reading Legends of the Desert: Volume 1 – Palehorse/Palerider & Lord Buffalo

Osi and the Jupiter – Appalachia

June 17, 2020June 2, 2020 Vinterd

While the great vast majority of albums that I review here fall into the worlds of rock and metal, I find it both fun and important to wander elsewhere. The somewhat adjacent realms of atmospheric styles like noise, ambient, neofolk, … Continue reading Osi and the Jupiter – Appalachia

Myrkur – Folkesange

March 16, 2020March 12, 2020 Vinterd

If you were to look in the right places and notice the right instances, it can be argued that certain black metal bands are making a transition to something much, much lighter in terms of content, theme, and overall ferocity. … Continue reading Myrkur – Folkesange

February 20, 2020February 8, 2020 Vinterd

Despite the vast majority of my music habits falling under the categories of either metal or rock, I always like to keep the horizons of my taste nice and wide because I damn well know that there’s loads of good … Continue reading Ye Banished Privateers – Hostis Humani Generis

Osi and the Jupiter – Nordlige Rúnaskog

December 13, 2019December 7, 2019 Vinterd

There are plenty of ideas throughout the wide realm of music that will always have my attention right from the get-go, but none other is greater than that of anything that has heavy pagan influence with folk instruments that pay … Continue reading Osi and the Jupiter – Nordlige Rúnaskog
