October 11, 2016August 10, 2018 Vinterd

Hammers of Misfortune – Dead Revolution

July 11, 2016 Vinterd

 I’ve a distinct feeling that whenever people will think about progressive metal in 2016 they’ll only think about Gojira, and that makes me sad. Sure, their new album was pretty good depending on who you ask, but many people aren’t … Continue reading Hammers of Misfortune – Dead Revolution

Slice the Cake – Odyssey to the West

April 4, 2016 Vinterd

 More often then not when I see a band that describes themselves as “progressive metal” turn out to be just deathcore, and not that there’s anything wrong with that it’s a little annoying if you’re looking for one and especially … Continue reading Slice the Cake – Odyssey to the West
