Howling Giant / Sergeant Thunderhoof – Masamune and Muramasa

September 2, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not terribly often that we get a split album that’s less of a traditional split and more of a proper collaboration. Bell Witch’s latest effort in league with Aerial Ruin is the latest and most notable of such that … Continue reading Howling Giant / Sergeant Thunderhoof – Masamune and Muramasa

Elephant Tree – Habits

August 5, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

I remember when I was first coming around to the glorious style that is heavy psych and everything closely related to it that Elephant Tree put out a massive album that caught all sorts of well-deserved accolades. It really seemed … Continue reading Elephant Tree – Habits

King Buffalo – Dead Star

January 26, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Where do I even start here? I’ve been sitting around just staring blankly at my computer screen trying to figure out the best way to start this shit off for far too long and I’m no closer to a good … Continue reading King Buffalo – Dead Star

Acid Mammoth – Under Acid Hoof

December 31, 2019December 25, 2019 Vinterd

 Second full-lengths are excellent opportunities for just about any band or artist on the planet simply because it shows us that they can very well do so much more than just throw down something that’s halfway decent in any scenario. … Continue reading Acid Mammoth – Under Acid Hoof

Solace – The Brink

November 11, 2019November 2, 2019 Vinterd

The realm of stoner metal is something that people can say is either filled with throngs of acts that are unremarkable at best, but, should you be willing to dig for the good ones like with any style of metal, … Continue reading Solace – The Brink

Hippie Death Cult – 111

July 25, 2019December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Torche – Admission

June 30, 2019July 1, 2019 Vinterd

While I do very much enjoy inspecting the underground in all of its unending potential that’s to be had, it does behoove one to look up every now and then to really see what the slightly bigger acts are up … Continue reading Torche – Admission

Salem’s Bend – Supercluster

May 19, 2019May 20, 2019 Vinterd

It’s honestly an odder sight to see a modern rock band not heavily influenced by the likes of Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Judas Priest than not to see it. Those sounds and classic vibes have become all but inseparable with … Continue reading Salem’s Bend – Supercluster
