Ethereal Riffian – Legends

August 15, 2019December 7, 2020 Vinterd

On almost every single occasion that I talk about anything in music when it comes to psychedelia, I somehow find myself referring to some choice favorites of mine like My Sleeping Karma, Zaum, or Elder just for a frame of … Continue reading Ethereal Riffian – Legends

Bykürius – A Heretic Art

August 14, 2019 Vinterd

To create something that feels alive in the current climate of black metal, I firmly believe that you either need to be so steeped in the style that you know exactly how to morph it into something worth listening to … Continue reading Bykürius – A Heretic Art

Mairu – The Sacred Dissonance

August 12, 2019August 13, 2019 Vinterd

When listening to anything that’s instrumental, I want to hear something that’s really going to illustrate a world around me that words cannot bring forth and given that by nature there are no words to be had. It’s all but … Continue reading Mairu – The Sacred Dissonance

Eramaa – Breathe

August 11, 2019 Vinterd

Most of the time when I go to listen to any sort of folk metal, I’m hoping to get an epic experience filled with all the parts of a fantastical journey that the style could ever possibly hope to bring … Continue reading Eramaa – Breathe

Devourment – Obscene Majesty

August 10, 2019August 11, 2019 Vinterd

There are some styles of metal that I just don’t find myself enjoying as much as I’d like no matter how much I try to expand my tastes as much as I can while being honest. One such style is … Continue reading Devourment – Obscene Majesty

Slipknot – We Are Not Your Kind

August 9, 2019August 10, 2019 Vinterd

The one thing that can always bring me back to Slipknot no matter which album it is or how long it’s been since they’ve started is simple but so difficult to keep up while also pulling it off: novelty. It’s … Continue reading Slipknot – We Are Not Your Kind

Bretus – Aion Tetra

August 8, 2019August 9, 2019 Vinterd

The inclusion of psychedelia in doom metal in something that could keep me in my seat listening for an entire day as the opportunities are virtually endless for what grandeur could be created with such a concoction. I’m usually the … Continue reading Bretus – Aion Tetra

Sabaton – The Great War

August 7, 2019July 28, 2019 Vinterd

I’ll be honest with you, when I saw that Sabaton was returning to the familiar topic of World War One after exploring wars in different eras with their previous effort, “The Last Stand”, I was a little disappointed. I was … Continue reading Sabaton – The Great War

Anifernyen – Augur

August 6, 2019August 7, 2019 Vinterd

I love delving into the side of metal where quite literally anything goes as we get bands all over the place that can just as easily do away with any sort of sensible structure in their material to bring forth … Continue reading Anifernyen – Augur

Besvärjelsen – Frost

August 5, 2019August 6, 2019 Vinterd

It’s in the heat of the summer that fun times are surely to be had and plenty of great music is released. But it’s in the colder seasons of the year where people like me feel more comfortable with as … Continue reading Besvärjelsen – Frost
