Evilfeast / Uuntar – Odes to Lands of Past Traditions

May 24, 2020May 12, 2020 Vinterd

The modern state of black metal is still in a stage that I can’t help but feel is still in the best condition that it has been for such a long time with the sound being far more available than … Continue reading Evilfeast / Uuntar – Odes to Lands of Past Traditions

Neptunian Maximalism – Éons

May 23, 2020May 12, 2020 Vinterd

Just a few days ago with my review for Fleshvessel’s debut EP, “Bile of Man Reborn”, I claimed that it was incredibly inventive on every level and not afraid whatsoever to cross genre lines to create something unique and electrifying. … Continue reading Neptunian Maximalism – Éons

Aborted Earth – Man-Made Mechanical Misery

May 22, 2020May 11, 2020 Vinterd

A lot of the time that I find myself listening to grind of any sort it tends to be very straightforward in its execution and presentation. It’s not terribly often that I get to see a grind act successfully pull … Continue reading Aborted Earth – Man-Made Mechanical Misery

Fleshvessel – Bile of Man Reborn

May 21, 2020May 11, 2020 Vinterd

Experimentation is something that I’ve been extremely fond of for years now for one simple reason no matter if it’s good or bad: it always keeps you on your toes. Whether it’s just blending together styles to create a fresh sound … Continue reading Fleshvessel – Bile of Man Reborn

Hellhookah – The Curse

May 20, 2020May 10, 2020 Vinterd

Doom metal has come in so many different forms and incarnations over the years that to hear any new take on a classic sound is almost always a fun thing to experience for me. Being able to approach a very … Continue reading Hellhookah – The Curse

Thecodontion – Supercontinent

May 19, 2020May 9, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not really all that often that I find myself sitting here thinking about prehistoric-themed death metal talking about the various supercontinents that have come across the planet over hundreds of millions of years (or billions, the jury is still … Continue reading Thecodontion – Supercontinent

Sorcerer – Lamenting of the Innocent

May 18, 2020May 6, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not unoften to come across doom that doesn’t really do anything new, and, obviously, you can say that about many other bands. But, like everything else, it’s all in the execution. Having a history in the scene that stretches … Continue reading Sorcerer – Lamenting of the Innocent

Familiars – All In Good Time

May 17, 2020May 6, 2020 Vinterd

The first quarter of 2020 was an absolute bounty for any fan of heavy rock as we got a true menagerie of different acts both small and large delivering new music that couldn’t be considered anything other than magnificent. It … Continue reading Familiars – All In Good Time

Dizygote – Freedom, Incorporated

May 16, 2020May 5, 2020 Vinterd

Much like how black metal has seen a great surge in one-man acts in recent years, doom metal has had its own increase of the same but it’s with duos in this instance. Bands like Bell Witch and Eagle Twin … Continue reading Dizygote – Freedom, Incorporated

Turin Horse – Antipas

May 15, 2020May 4, 2020 Vinterd

More often than not, whenever I encountered any form of sludge, it tends to be paired with doom simply because the two make such a great combination in virtually every scenario. So to see any act try to bring different … Continue reading Turin Horse – Antipas
