Religious Observance – Utter Discomfort

December 18, 2018 Vinterd

 Whenever I delve into the world of doom, I usually go for two distinct styles that I simply enjoy more often than most: long-winded and hypnotic experiences stretching on and on, or riff after riff that do naught but keep … Continue reading Religious Observance – Utter Discomfort

Primitive Man / Unearthly Trance – Split

August 4, 2018 Vinterd

 If you follow the wondrous Relapse Records even just a little bit, you’ll notice that this year they’ve been dishing out several splits between many bands among their roster. Whether it’s to dish out some B-material or simply to keep … Continue reading Primitive Man / Unearthly Trance – Split

Abjection Ritual – Soul of Ruin, Body of Filth

March 20, 2018October 11, 2025 Vinterd

 Death metal is a style that I believe doesn’t get enough experimentation anymore as many bands go down a few, better-known paths that are appealing to listeners of an already pre-made group. Not often enough do we find bands that … Continue reading Abjection Ritual – Soul of Ruin, Body of Filth

Inhumankind – Self-Extinction

February 28, 2018 Vinterd

Primitive Man – Caustic

September 29, 2017September 30, 2017 Vinterd

 The more and more that I delve into the haunting realm of noise, the more I become entranced by it. It’s the sort of thing that takes quite an imagination and a strong will to try and achieve. I’ve seen … Continue reading Primitive Man – Caustic

MRTVI – Negative Atonal Dissonance

June 1, 2017June 4, 2017 Vinterd

 Even the oddest out of us all can appreciate art, that much is certain. However, some minds are too dark, too ambitious, too progressive thinking or any combination of those to be satisfied with the modern description of art represented … Continue reading MRTVI – Negative Atonal Dissonance

Full of Hell – Trumpeting Ecstasy

May 13, 2017May 14, 2017 Vinterd

 Few bands out in the world have been able to capture the pure essence of chaos, yet have at least some sort of structure to their music. One might think of grind metal more than anything else, but a recent … Continue reading Full of Hell – Trumpeting Ecstasy

Haate – Crystal: Farewell

March 23, 2017March 24, 2017 Vinterd

 Prior to a few months ago, I had always been into metal infused with loads of atmosphere but not the style of music that’s simply titled “noise”. Mainly because I always felt it needed more, but recently some switched flipped … Continue reading Haate – Crystal: Farewell

Tome of the Unreplenished – Cosmoprism: The Theurgy – Act I

January 14, 2017January 15, 2017 Vinterd

 There’s always been a wonder ever since the very first conscious thought that the ancestors of man conceived to know what laid in the great black that is beyond our world. We clearly don’t know now, and most likely never … Continue reading Tome of the Unreplenished – Cosmoprism: The Theurgy – Act I
