Mr. Bison – Seaward

October 1, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

There are dozens upon dozens of rising names out there in the quickly expanding realm of heavy psych that are more than worthy of our attention, and I would be more than happy to sit here and pick them apart … Continue reading Mr. Bison – Seaward

Warlung – Optical Delusions

September 28, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

The many bands of heavy psychedelic rock are always the sort of thing that can keep even the most avid fans on their toes no matter how many bands manage to dish out greatness of all sorts. Warlung’s influence has … Continue reading Warlung – Optical Delusions

Turtle Skull – Monoliths

September 5, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Psych rock has seen dozens of different forms over the decades as the sound is constantly being stretched into new realms while simultaneously being redone time and again to really show us just how malleable it is. Blending it with … Continue reading Turtle Skull – Monoliths

Howling Giant / Sergeant Thunderhoof – Masamune and Muramasa

September 2, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not terribly often that we get a split album that’s less of a traditional split and more of a proper collaboration. Bell Witch’s latest effort in league with Aerial Ruin is the latest and most notable of such that … Continue reading Howling Giant / Sergeant Thunderhoof – Masamune and Muramasa

Shaman Elephant – Wide Awake But Still Asleep

August 11, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Spell – Opulent Decay

July 31, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Ritual King – s/t

May 31, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Admittedly, there comes a point where a lot of these stoner rock/heavy psych/doom acts start to blend together because they either sound the same or their names are way too close like how I keep mixing up Void King and … Continue reading Ritual King – s/t

Jackie Treehorn Ave. – Nervous Breakdown Blues

May 3, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

The right approach to your material can really make or break an album, or, at the very least, greatly impact how interesting your work is in the first few seconds. When it comes down to psychedelia, I’ve always been a … Continue reading Jackie Treehorn Ave. – Nervous Breakdown Blues

Kanaan – Double Sun

April 12, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Over the years, one of my absolute favorite styles to dive into whenever I want something that almost never fails me is the realm of instrumental psychedelic rock. It’s always a mouthful to say, but it always elicits a specific … Continue reading Kanaan – Double Sun

LáGoon – Maa Kali Trip

April 10, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

The sheer number of bands that have come around ever since the arrival of legendary acts like AC/DC that have tried to emulate that exact same sound is absolutely staggering still to this day. For the vast majority of them, … Continue reading LáGoon – Maa Kali Trip
