Eonian – Born From Ice

February 15, 2025February 9, 2025 Vinterd

I make my preferences no secret. It’s in the realms of extreme metal that my tastes tend to wander when I’m dealing with the wide spectrum of metal, but I know damn well that there’s so much potential to be … Continue reading Eonian – Born From Ice

Ofnus – Valediction

February 14, 2025February 10, 2025 Vinterd

Time can be quite an interesting thing for all that it can unfold so long as we simply allow it to roll on. For music, in particular, it should be a no-brainer for virtually everybody that it can unveil some … Continue reading Ofnus – Valediction

Avulsed – Phoenix Cryptobiosis

February 13, 2025February 6, 2025 Vinterd

I love being wrong sometimes. It was just a few weeks ago with the forthcoming offensive from Unbounded Terror that I came before the Spanish death metal scene once again with all the nuance and undead splendor that it has … Continue reading Avulsed – Phoenix Cryptobiosis

Mizmor & Hell – Alluvion

February 12, 2025February 5, 2025 Vinterd

Retromorphosis – Psalmus Mortis

February 11, 2025February 5, 2025 Vinterd

A resurrection that defies the odds and shows us what can happen when the phoenix rises in all of its magnificence – that’s what metalheads are constantly hoping against hope for. While we find ourselves lucky to still be surrounded … Continue reading Retromorphosis – Psalmus Mortis

Time Rift – In Flight

February 10, 2025February 5, 2025 Vinterd

Ritual Ascension – Profanation of the Adamic Convenant

February 9, 2025February 4, 2025 Vinterd

Darkness has long been a key theme in many works of extreme metal ever since the sound first came about, but there is nothing that can compare to when a band fully submerges itself in that madness and comes out … Continue reading Ritual Ascension – Profanation of the Adamic Convenant

Ade – Supplicium

February 7, 2025February 3, 2025 Vinterd

Few and far between are bands that are able to take into consideration the realms of death and folk metal, and, honestly, that’s probably for the best. It’s oftentimes the best and most interesting sounds that are sparsely populated for … Continue reading Ade – Supplicium
