Fallujah – Undying Light

February 24, 2019 Vinterd

There’s an odd thing that I’ve noticed almost whenever a band with a substantial following puts out something new that’s different in some way be it arguably minor to major: a very paradoxical set of circumstances result in the fans … Continue reading Fallujah – Undying Light

Moss Upon the Skull – In Vengeful Reverence

September 16, 2018September 17, 2018 Vinterd

 I’ve been a fan of death metal for a few years now and I can happily say that I can really enjoy it when a band creates some normal death metal that fits perfectly in the norm of the style … Continue reading Moss Upon the Skull – In Vengeful Reverence

MetaVoid – Heliosophist

August 29, 2018 Vinterd

 There’s always the weird and ever-expanding world of progressive metal to turn to whenever you simply want the energy and ridiculousness of your metal turned up to an absolute eleven right off the bat. The style is always creating crazy … Continue reading MetaVoid – Heliosophist

Obscura – Diluvium

June 27, 2018June 27, 2018 Vinterd

 I’m not exactly what you’d call an expert in the weird world of progressive metal, but I know for a fact that of all the bands that exist in the death metal quadrant of that style Obscura is one that … Continue reading Obscura – Diluvium

Isa – Chimera

May 29, 2018December 31, 2020 Vinterd

 The weird world of progressive death metal is one that I feel like deserves much more attention and should also be a much more saturated style. It’ll allow for bands who enjoy their death to take it to unforeseen landscapes … Continue reading Isa – Chimera

Alkaloid – Liquid Anatomy

May 18, 2018May 19, 2018 Vinterd

 There are very few bands that manage to sweep over the metal world in a miasma that truly grips the global scene with an unrelenting attitude. Whenever it happens you won’t stop hearing about the band for months or even … Continue reading Alkaloid – Liquid Anatomy

Fragarak – A Spectral Oblivion

September 5, 2017 Vinterd

 The biggest challenge that faces the newer generations of metal bands is proving themselves. It’s one thing to throw down a record, go with a sound, and do your best to capitalize on it. But it’s a whole other beast … Continue reading Fragarak – A Spectral Oblivion

Soulrest – In Spite

August 12, 2017August 13, 2017 Vinterd

 To see a band that’s been going for literally twenty years is an incredible thing for me, especially when that isn’t well known by any means. That means group goes on simply because they enjoy doing it and they want … Continue reading Soulrest – In Spite

Infinite Earths – Into the Void

November 17, 2016November 17, 2016 Vinterd

 It is unfortunate for me to say that in way too many instances when a band decides to label themselves as a “progressive metal” band they’re simply covering the fact that they’re deathcore or metalcore. Happens a lot more often … Continue reading Infinite Earths – Into the Void

Obscura – Akróasis

January 29, 2016 Vinterd

 The term “progressive death metal” is used way too often by deathcore bands who are either lying to themselves, trying attract different crowds, trying to be “fancy”, or all three. So actually hearing real prog death after see a band call themselves … Continue reading Obscura – Akróasis
