Morpholith – Null Dimensions

January 17, 2021January 3, 2021 Vinterd

When it comes to psychedelia in some of its heaviest forms, doom metal is one of the best vessels to deliver that excellence and it’s no task whatsoever to see why that’s the case. It hasn’t been since Zaum’s last … Continue reading Morpholith – Null Dimensions

Praÿ – Hemerith

December 23, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

  When I first heard Praÿ what felt like several years ago (only two in actuality), I was pleasantly surprised by what the band was able to bring to the table that still very much holds up in a somewhat … Continue reading Praÿ – Hemerith

Mazzeri – s/t

June 7, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

When you infuse any sort of material with any level of psychedelia, you’re already raising the bar for my expectations by at least a little. In my opinion, to successfully be psychedelic is to become larger than life with your … Continue reading Mazzeri – s/t

Elder – Omens

February 28, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Experimentation is something that I praise very highly in any sort of band whether they be new or old, experienced or as fresh as could be, or having only dipped their toes in one style versus constantly trying new things … Continue reading Elder – Omens

Kavod – Wheel of Time

May 13, 2019December 7, 2020 Vinterd

The vast majority of the time that I want to find something that’s meditative in any form, I tend to go to one of three styles: heavy psych, doom metal, or psych rock. While they can be worlds apart, there … Continue reading Kavod – Wheel of Time

Onioroshi – Beyond These Mountains

April 5, 2019December 7, 2020 Vinterd

One of the flavors and styles that I’ve noticed making some real ripples in the various communities over the year is heavy psych. It’s a sound that we’ve all heard on some occasion and it’s thanks to more recent legends … Continue reading Onioroshi – Beyond These Mountains

Cities of Mars – The Horologist

March 1, 2019 Vinterd

The art of potent psychedelia is the sort of thing that simply cannot get enough praise. It’s something that a seemingly infinite number of bands have tried their hands at ever since the first psychedelic music concoction, and it’s led … Continue reading Cities of Mars – The Horologist

Obsidian Sea – Strangers

February 19, 2019December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Nowadays, it feels like the reverence of the era of classic doom is more potent than ever as we’ve gotten absolutely throngs of acts that have sought to recreate that sound as we’ve seen the styles of heavy psych, proto-doom, … Continue reading Obsidian Sea – Strangers
