Hirax – Faster Than Death

January 18, 2025January 12, 2025 Vinterd

Phrenelith – Ashen Womb

January 16, 2025January 9, 2025 Vinterd

Bloodbark – Sacred Sound of Solitude

January 15, 2025January 3, 2025 Vinterd

High Warden – Astral Iron

January 14, 2025January 3, 2025 Vinterd

Nolla – Graniittisutra

January 12, 2025January 3, 2025 Vinterd

Mayhemic – Toba

January 10, 2025January 2, 2025 Vinterd

Slimelord – Chytridiomycosis Relinquished

January 9, 2025December 30, 2024 Vinterd

Have you ever laid your eyes on something, told yourself that you would absolutely come back to that, and then fail to do so? It happens to me far more often that I would like to admit, and sometimes it … Continue reading Slimelord – Chytridiomycosis Relinquished
