Arcade Messiah – The Host

October 11, 2020September 23, 2020 Vinterd

It’s always fascinating to watch a band that was already fascinating from the very first instance evolve into something that can only be considered as immensely compelling by all accounts. Arcade Messiah has always been a highlight of the progressive … Continue reading Arcade Messiah – The Host

Dødsferd – Death Shall Purify the Wounds of Your Fragile Mortality

October 10, 2020September 23, 2020 Vinterd

Twenty years is, by all accounts, a long time for any band to keep going, especially if people can always rely on a constant stream of quality and self-improvement if they stick with that act. Next year will herald that … Continue reading Dødsferd – Death Shall Purify the Wounds of Your Fragile Mortality

Chasmdweller – Bacterial Lotus

October 9, 2020September 16, 2020 Vinterd

It’s barely been two months since I was just here talking about Chasmdweller, and I was just as puzzled then as I am now to find myself already talking about them again. Granted, their last offering was just a 2-track … Continue reading Chasmdweller – Bacterial Lotus

October 8, 2020September 23, 2020 Vinterd

Hinayana – Death of the Cosmic

October 7, 2020September 16, 2020 Vinterd

The number of quality death/doom acts to have come out in recent years and risen to the task of delivering greatness that we can really sink our teeth into has risen tremendously, and you could almost point in any direction … Continue reading Hinayana – Death of the Cosmic

The Garin – s/t

October 6, 2020September 15, 2020 Vinterd

It’s possibly on the very fringes of the ever-changing style that is experimental rock that I find myself becoming the most intrigued by what modern rock has to offer simply due to the given fact that it’s rare to find … Continue reading The Garin – s/t

Isenmor – Shieldbrother

October 5, 2020October 5, 2020 Vinterd

Despite all the madness outside that has happened in 2020, the year has been extremely bountiful in virtually every style that I have an interest in from ambient drone, sludgy doom, psych-rock albums destined to become classics, gorgeous neofolk, and … Continue reading Isenmor – Shieldbrother

Thus Live Humans – Dual Duality

October 4, 2020September 14, 2020 Vinterd

Sometimes, it really does the soul good to just take things down a few notches, slow everything down, and just let the soul create whatever music may come. That’s often some of the most interesting music especially when it comes … Continue reading Thus Live Humans – Dual Duality

Sotz’ – Popol Vuh

October 3, 2020September 13, 2020 Vinterd

To see a band with any sort of gimmick is far from a rare thing to see nowadays with it feeling like one in every ten bands has a certain theme to their work. It comes in two forms that … Continue reading Sotz’ – Popol Vuh

Legendarium – Reign in Repose

October 2, 2020September 13, 2020 Vinterd

Time is a fickle thing in every sense, especially when we’re talking about bands going from one album to another. Normally, you’d expect that with more time comes more experience and, thus, any given act getting better over time, yet … Continue reading Legendarium – Reign in Repose
