Cloak – The Burning Dawn

November 6, 2019October 28, 2019 Vinterd

It was sometime in April when I went to my very first live show in Philadelphia with the main purpose to see my favorite band that is Inter Arma. I was immensely excited to see them and knew I’d have … Continue reading Cloak – The Burning Dawn

Dimaeon – Void

November 5, 2019October 27, 2019 Vinterd

It’s usually when I hear about progressive death metal that I think more towards the lines of tech-death and its massive craziness from almost angles. But, like most things, there’s the occasional curveball that absolutely astounds me that makes me … Continue reading Dimaeon – Void

Domkraft – Slow Fidelity

November 4, 2019October 26, 2019 Vinterd

It was just over a year ago that we got Domkraft’s second full-length album that caused a little bit of a reaction out of the scene and me as well a little with how well Domkraft brought their sound to … Continue reading Domkraft – Slow Fidelity

Wandering Oak – Passage Elemental

November 3, 2019October 27, 2019 Vinterd

It was just a few days ago that I was sitting around remembering how I haven’t listened to a whole lot of folk metal this year, and I was truly devastated. I’ve had some tremendous listens from the style this … Continue reading Wandering Oak – Passage Elemental

Ade – Rise of the Empire

November 2, 2019November 1, 2019 Vinterd

It really does seem like that as the year goes on, more and more excellence keeps coming out to really astound us fans and especially people like me who need to make year-end lists specifically because it’s going to make … Continue reading Ade – Rise of the Empire

Earth and Pillars – Earth II

November 1, 2019October 25, 2019 Vinterd

The amount of atmospheric black metal bands that have come our way in just the past decade is all but staggering with the actual number of them surely in the tens of thousands given how popular they are. That’s not … Continue reading Earth and Pillars – Earth II

Vacivus – Annihilism

October 31, 2019October 27, 2019 Vinterd

I’ve had the immense pleasure of witnessing many promising acts spawn forth from the very depths of the underground in the almost six years of me doing these reviews, and it’s a gift that keeps on giving. When I first … Continue reading Vacivus – Annihilism

Tome of the Unreplenished / Starless Domain – Epistolary of the Fall

October 30, 2019October 25, 2019 Vinterd

Usually, whenever I review any given material from any band I normally expect anywhere from at least six months to a year before hearing from that act again, and that’s only if they’re really going at it behind the scenes to create … Continue reading Tome of the Unreplenished / Starless Domain – Epistolary of the Fall

Saint Karloff – Interstellar Voodoo

October 29, 2019October 19, 2019 Vinterd

The art of the single-song full-length album is something that many people are sadly not aware of, and that’s because it’s, for the most part, rarely performed other than by the most talented and daring bands. It’s an idea that … Continue reading Saint Karloff – Interstellar Voodoo

Bull of Apis Bull of Bronze – Offerings of Flesh and Gold

October 28, 2019October 19, 2019 Vinterd

Some of the best things come completely out of left field with no warning whatsoever, and that makes the great material all the more glorious because of how random they seem. The very underground of Bandcamp can often be the … Continue reading Bull of Apis Bull of Bronze – Offerings of Flesh and Gold
