Eskapism – Skresnava

August 15, 2025August 15, 2025 Vinterd

I think it’s safe to say that it would be a vicious understatement to claim that the world of atmospheric black metal has long been intertwined with the many different spirits of nature and all that they have to offer. … Continue reading Eskapism – Skresnava

Slomatics – Atomicult

August 14, 2025August 10, 2025 Vinterd

We could sit here all day and argue the bands that “don’t need an introduction” for one reason or another when it comes to those within the vast landscapes of all that modern doom metal has to offer. From those … Continue reading Slomatics – Atomicult

Clairvoyance – Chasm of Immurement

August 13, 2025August 2, 2025 Vinterd

Gloombound – Dreaming Delusion

August 11, 2025August 2, 2025 Vinterd

We could sit here all day and talk about all that the sprawling realms of death-doom bring to the table with its heaviness, raw melancholies, and overwhelming intensity that permeates virtually every creation of the sound to such a degree … Continue reading Gloombound – Dreaming Delusion

Nexion – Sundrung

August 10, 2025August 9, 2025 Vinterd

I like to talk a lot about evolution a lot here as I feel like it’s the driving force that separates the bands that are kind of just doing their own thing from the artists that are seeking something more … Continue reading Nexion – Sundrung

Undersave – Merged in Abstract Perdition

August 9, 2025August 9, 2025 Vinterd

There’s almost a perpetual darkness that genres like death metal call their own that many are content to become lost within for all that’s to be uncovered throughout the writhing darkness, yet it’s not always that we’re able to come … Continue reading Undersave – Merged in Abstract Perdition

In Mourning – The Immortal

August 7, 2025July 27, 2025 Vinterd

At some point, a band simply has to try something else in some form or another lest their sound begin to become stale and uninteresting. It can be in even the smallest ways that such a change can make for … Continue reading In Mourning – The Immortal

Esoctrilihum – Ghostigmatah – Spiritual Rites of the Psychopomp Abxulöm

August 6, 2025July 26, 2025 Vinterd

For all intents and purposes, there are just some creations out there that words can hardly do justice for. We’re lucky enough to live in a time where there’s loads of talent to be had out in the vast underground … Continue reading Esoctrilihum – Ghostigmatah – Spiritual Rites of the Psychopomp Abxulöm
