Sarcoptes – Plague Hymns

August 2, 2020July 19, 2020 Vinterd

A nice little EP is sometimes all someone needs in order to get their proper dosage of a band that they really enjoy, or at least wanted to hear more of. A new full-length is almost always preferable especially to … Continue reading Sarcoptes – Plague Hymns

Spell – Opulent Decay

July 31, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

The return of proto-metal in recent years has been something that many people have gladly jumped onto whether or not you think even half of the bands that populate the style pull it off, and I’m certainly one of the … Continue reading Spell – Opulent Decay

Irhagar – Sutra

July 30, 2020July 16, 2020 Vinterd

Have you ever come across an album that you feel probably won’t amount to much? Maybe something surprising? I have that feeling a lot more than I’m willing to admit, unfortunately. But, more often than I’m also willing to admit, … Continue reading Irhagar – Sutra

Moloch Conspiracy – Incantatios from Ugarit

July 29, 2020July 16, 2020 Vinterd

There have been many times when I go to sit down and listen to some fresh ambient works to, hopefully, find myself lost in a unique wordless world that’s constantly changing with something as simple as one night or even … Continue reading Moloch Conspiracy – Incantatios from Ugarit

Damned to Downfall – Born to Breed

July 28, 2020July 16, 2020 Vinterd

A death metal EP that ultimately doesn’t do anything new and is constantly trying to quick and concise in just about every instance really feels to be a dime a dozen in today’s climate, and that’s because there’s just so … Continue reading Damned to Downfall – Born to Breed

Bell Witch / Aerial Ruin – Stygian Bough Volume I

July 27, 2020July 11, 2020 Vinterd

A true collaboration between two acts is something that we don’t get as often as we might like with a simple split being the course that’s taken much more often than not. There’s nothing wrong with that whatsoever, but it … Continue reading Bell Witch / Aerial Ruin – Stygian Bough Volume I

Gaerea – Limbo

July 26, 2020July 8, 2020 Vinterd

It was just a little over three years ago when the world was given something that could easily be considered game-changing by many in extreme opinions to, at the very least, something that cannot be missed whatsoever. “Unsettling Whispers” from … Continue reading Gaerea – Limbo

Hateful – Set Forever On Me

July 25, 2020December 31, 2020 Vinterd

The rise of technical death metal is just as interesting as it is crazy if you’ve been paying even the least bit of attention to all the wondrous releases that the style has been pumping out over the past decade. … Continue reading Hateful – Set Forever On Me

Escaping Aghartha – Oceanic Womb

July 24, 2020July 7, 2020 Vinterd

A true experience of experimental excellence is something that we rarely get in a large quantity of pure talent. It’s hard to think of the last time when I heard a massive experimental piece that left a big impact on … Continue reading Escaping Aghartha – Oceanic Womb

K Prouty – Energy Frequency Vibrations

July 23, 2020July 7, 2020 Vinterd

Progressive material isn’t always what I find myself going for, but in its infinite reaches via imagination and talent, there will always be something for me to investigate. It’s such an intrinsic sound that has so many different variables to … Continue reading K Prouty – Energy Frequency Vibrations
