Sarcoptes – Prayers to Oblivion

December 25, 2022December 18, 2022 Vinterd

Merlock – Onward Strides Colossus

December 24, 2022December 18, 2022 Vinterd

After a band makes a shift that can only be considered dramatic, it’s really anybody’s guess as to what else that band would bring upon their return be it a few days, months, or years after debuting that very change. … Continue reading Merlock – Onward Strides Colossus

Grá – Lycaon

December 23, 2022December 18, 2022 Vinterd

It could happen at any point in a band’s career and it’s truly anyone’s guessing as to specifically when it occurs. When a band strikes upon real, undeniable gold, even if the band’s discography has long been nothing to look … Continue reading Grá – Lycaon

Dark_Matter – Phobos/Monolyth

December 22, 2022December 18, 2022 Vinterd

Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean – I Tried Catching You But You Fell Through Me

December 20, 2022December 18, 2022 Vinterd

Given how dense the underground has become at this point, it’s only natural that we would eventually come across bands that manage to take the extra step when it comes to intensity and potency in such a way that people … Continue reading Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean – I Tried Catching You But You Fell Through Me

Obituary – Dying of Everything

December 19, 2022December 17, 2022 Vinterd

At some point, do I even have to do a review for certain bands? There’s a level that is achieved at some point that cannot be considered anything short of godhood in the consciousness of the public with the band’s … Continue reading Obituary – Dying of Everything

For I Am King – Crown

December 18, 2022December 16, 2022 Vinterd

It hasn’t been since the last offering from Whitechapel that anything from the worlds of metalcore or deathcore has really managed to come around and grab me by the throat in any meaningful fashion. All droughts come to an end, … Continue reading For I Am King – Crown

Anachronism – Meanders

December 17, 2022December 16, 2022 Vinterd

I’ve said it many times before and I will continue to say it likely for a long time to come: the blooming of modern technical death metal is nothing short of astounding. It’s allowed many of the most exceptional creations … Continue reading Anachronism – Meanders
