Structural Repairs – We Choose Violence

February 17, 2018February 18, 2018 Vinterd

 One of the styles that undoubtedly helped me get into metal in the first place is ironically on that I don’t visit very often nowadays: metalcore.

The Unguided – And the Battle Royale

November 9, 2017 Vinterd

A Breach of Silence – Secrets

January 10, 2017January 11, 2017 Vinterd

 As the band who put out my favorite album of 2014, A Breach of Silence not only had a lot of anticipation from me but their steadily growing fan base was the exact same as well. Being the pioneers of “powercore”, … Continue reading A Breach of Silence – Secrets

Set Before Us – Enigmas

November 27, 2016November 28, 2016 Vinterd

 I’m the kind of person that needs a break every now and then. By break in this instance I mean I want the occasional breather from what I typically listen to, but nothing drastically different. When that urge strikes me I … Continue reading Set Before Us – Enigmas

Destrage – A Means to No End

October 16, 2016October 16, 2016 Vinterd

 As time goes by, there’s always going to be people to see if they can push the limits of whatever they please in whatever way they possibly can. Music is by far no exception, and metal is, of course, one … Continue reading Destrage – A Means to No End

Wovenwar – Honor is Dead

October 8, 2016October 8, 2016 Vinterd

 It’s not very often anymore that I’m impressed with metalcore. The last time it bewildered me was Devil You Know’s last album, and before that, it was all the way back in 2014 with A Breach of Silence. But with … Continue reading Wovenwar – Honor is Dead
