Shenanigans – Muta In Potenza

January 2, 2019 Vinterd

 Sometimes, it feels as though every other thrash act that I come into contact with hails from Greece and thus, the country has become notorious in my mind for having top-notch thrash to always through around. But, obviously, it’s not … Continue reading Shenanigans – Muta In Potenza

Automb – Esoterica

January 1, 2019January 2, 2019 Vinterd

 There’s not even black metal in America, these days. Sure, there are plenty of notable acts that have made names for themselves over the decades, but it feels like every new act of black metal comes from everywhere except America, … Continue reading Automb – Esoterica

Kosmos Brenner – Cosmic Pyre

December 31, 2018January 1, 2019 Vinterd

 When I sat down tonight to find something to listen to, at first I wanted something psychedelic so I went and looked for some trippy rock to end the day with, and found nothing. So then I thought something atmospheric … Continue reading Kosmos Brenner – Cosmic Pyre

Vampiric – Death Tore Through

December 30, 2018December 31, 2018 Vinterd

 I’ve always been the sort of guy to really dig listening into a band’s very first steps because I love hearing something that could’ve very easily been spawned in someone’s basement or garage. It’s a very raw thing that we … Continue reading Vampiric – Death Tore Through

Ardormort – s/t

December 29, 2018December 30, 2018 Vinterd

 A lot of times we see many new acts manned by just one person, and sometimes we get some truly engaging material that seems amazing that it came from the mind of a single human. But, as you might expect, … Continue reading Ardormort – s/t

Nordland – The Dead Stones

December 28, 2018December 29, 2018 Vinterd

 Pagan metal is one of those styles that always a little tricky for me as sometimes it just feels like a name that some black metal artists use to make themselves sound different on paper, but when you actually hear … Continue reading Nordland – The Dead Stones

My Darkest Time – Dawn

December 27, 2018December 28, 2018 Vinterd

 Of all the different styles of doom metal that I’ve had the immense pleasure of reading over the years, one of the more specific veins of the style that I’ve never really been able to get into all that much … Continue reading My Darkest Time – Dawn

Nebula Orionis – Starthrone

December 26, 2018December 26, 2018 Vinterd

 It wasn’t even ten days ago that I heard the promising EP from Nebula Orionis that was released just earlier this year, and with a new album on the very near horizon, I was very hopeful as to what this act … Continue reading Nebula Orionis – Starthrone

Black Viper – Hellions of Fire

December 25, 2018 Vinterd

 In today’s metal climate, it’s very important to people like me to get something different in our collections so that we’re not listening to the same fucking thing over and over again, but every and then there’s a surprisingly welcome … Continue reading Black Viper – Hellions of Fire

Lord Vapour – Semuta

December 24, 2018December 7, 2020 Vinterd

 With the year winding down to a close, I always like to make at least one more stop in each of my favorite styles to end the year on a good note with some excellent material released at this time … Continue reading Lord Vapour – Semuta
