Phantom Hound – Mountain Pass

October 21, 2020September 30, 2020 Vinterd

To say that the landscape of literally anything that can be called hard rock has been going incredibly well even after so long would be putting it mildly at best. The style has been no less than stupendously bountiful over … Continue reading Phantom Hound – Mountain Pass

Novarupta – Marine Snow

October 20, 2020September 30, 2020 Vinterd

It’s only on occasion that I find myself caught solely by an album’s cover art or even just the title. The art is what draws me in the vast majority of the time, especially when I’m browsing Bandcamp just glances … Continue reading Novarupta – Marine Snow

Give Up To Failure – Burden

October 19, 2020September 30, 2020 Vinterd

Incorporating strong atmospheric elements into your brand of rock is not a new thing by any means, but to do it in a way that is beyond exceptional and makes for a truly immersive listen whose power cannot be deniable … Continue reading Give Up To Failure – Burden

The Black Hounds – Colossus

October 18, 2020September 30, 2020 Vinterd

Honeybadger – Pleasure Delayer

October 17, 2020September 30, 2020 Vinterd

A quality rock experience is something that is really supposed to move you on some sort of level because that’s been the nature of the style ever since its very first iteration, and that has proven to be the trend … Continue reading Honeybadger – Pleasure Delayer

Kūka’ilimoku – Kūka’ilimoku II

October 16, 2020October 12, 2020 Vinterd

It will never cease to amaze me just how far-reaching metal has become on this planet. From countries we never expected to small towns within the unlikeliest of places to small islands, metal is a phenomenon that’s hard to get … Continue reading Kūka’ilimoku – Kūka’ilimoku II

Votov – I.X.X.I.

October 15, 2020September 29, 2020 Vinterd

I’m very much a guy that can appreciate virtually all forms of death metal just about no matter the form that it comes in, but I feel it’s more than safe to say that the style tends to come in … Continue reading Votov – I.X.X.I.

October 14, 2020October 7, 2020 Vinterd

There have been a great number of noteworthy heavy metal acts that have graced our ears over the decades with many receiving accolades and immortality from fans and critics alike, but some don’t get as much as they should even … Continue reading Armored Saint – Punching the Sky

Cryptae – Nightmare Traversal

October 13, 2020September 23, 2020 Vinterd

In the ever-expanding world of death metal, it’s becoming more and more interesting to find a band that actually manages to stand out for one reason or another. When I discovered Cryptae last year, I knew that I had found … Continue reading Cryptae – Nightmare Traversal

Big Scenic Nowhere – Lavender Blues

October 12, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

There are plenty of names throughout the psychedelic and desert rock scenes to keep us entertained for decades, and that has absolutely been the case, but while the thought of them coming together for something next level is only something … Continue reading Big Scenic Nowhere – Lavender Blues
