Saturn’s Husk – The Conduit

September 11, 2020August 24, 2020 Vinterd

Doom really feels like the kind of style where two things are constantly in a battle for overall dominance: heaviness and riffage. It’s a constant war between the two where each band takes on their own special mix between one … Continue reading Saturn’s Husk – The Conduit

Wolfhand – The Devil Arrives

August 28, 2020August 13, 2020 Vinterd

To sit here and describe any type of music as “cinematic” is always a small stretch for me because what’s the difference between something that feels “cinematic” or is just atmospheric or just some form of post-whatever? Well, nothing really. … Continue reading Wolfhand – The Devil Arrives

The Spacelords – Spaceflowers

August 21, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

One of the most intriguing sounds in all of music, in my opinion, is undoubtedly just about any form of instrumental rock but especially when it’s drenched in psychedelia. Whether it leans towards the heavier side or not, the style has always … Continue reading The Spacelords – Spaceflowers

K Prouty – Energy Frequency Vibrations

July 23, 2020July 7, 2020 Vinterd

Progressive material isn’t always what I find myself going for, but in its infinite reaches via imagination and talent, there will always be something for me to investigate. It’s such an intrinsic sound that has so many different variables to … Continue reading K Prouty – Energy Frequency Vibrations

God – God IV – Revelation

June 30, 2020June 14, 2020 Vinterd

For some time, God has been the name to know in my book when it comes to being a progressive and instrumental metal, and I feel it’s safe to say it’s one of the few acts that I’ve come across … Continue reading God – God IV – Revelation

Brontosaurus – Excavation

June 25, 2020June 9, 2020 Vinterd

Drone is absolutely something that I need more of in my life. Whether it comes in the form of ambiance or metal it doesn’t matter since both have come bountiful forms like HLER and Mizmor, respectively. But, what would happen … Continue reading Brontosaurus – Excavation

Etrange – s/t

April 17, 2020April 10, 2020 Vinterd

Usually, whenever I want visuals of something crazy in space with insane colors and a general out-of-this-world vibe, it’s somewhere in the realm of psych-rock that I find myself looking. On rare occasions, though, it’s elsewhere that delivers such goods. … Continue reading Etrange – s/t

Kanaan – Double Sun

April 12, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Over the years, one of my absolute favorite styles to dive into whenever I want something that almost never fails me is the realm of instrumental psychedelic rock. It’s always a mouthful to say, but it always elicits a specific … Continue reading Kanaan – Double Sun

Oratory – IV

February 22, 2020February 21, 2020 Vinterd

Whenever we think of anything related to black metal, we tend to think of something extreme with an icy edge to it all that could drain the very light out of the universe if it so desired, and something along … Continue reading Oratory – IV

Dragunov – Arkhipov

February 19, 2020February 8, 2020 Vinterd

The very concept of instrumental metal is one that’s about as original as instrumental rock, but it’s quite more difficult to pull off more so than it’s rock counterpart simply because while heaviness on its own is something that can … Continue reading Dragunov – Arkhipov
