Warlung – Optical Delusions

September 28, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

The many bands of heavy psychedelic rock are always the sort of thing that can keep even the most avid fans on their toes no matter how many bands manage to dish out greatness of all sorts. Warlung’s influence has … Continue reading Warlung – Optical Delusions

Face Off – Machines

September 26, 2020September 5, 2020 Vinterd

To create an album that can only be described as ethereal is a feat all on its own. That really does feel like the goal for any band that falls into the realms of either post-rock or post-metal, and it’s … Continue reading Face Off – Machines

Legends of the Desert: Volume 1 – Palehorse/Palerider & Lord Buffalo

September 16, 2020August 30, 2020 Vinterd

There are few things that get me stroking my beard in immense interest as a solid and worthwhile split between two awesome bands. Lord Buffalo has been a constant in my listening habits for years now, and Palehorse/Palerider has been … Continue reading Legends of the Desert: Volume 1 – Palehorse/Palerider & Lord Buffalo

Turtle Skull – Monoliths

September 5, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Psych rock has seen dozens of different forms over the decades as the sound is constantly being stretched into new realms while simultaneously being redone time and again to really show us just how malleable it is. Blending it with … Continue reading Turtle Skull – Monoliths

Howling Giant / Sergeant Thunderhoof – Masamune and Muramasa

September 2, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not terribly often that we get a split album that’s less of a traditional split and more of a proper collaboration. Bell Witch’s latest effort in league with Aerial Ruin is the latest and most notable of such that … Continue reading Howling Giant / Sergeant Thunderhoof – Masamune and Muramasa

Wolfhand – The Devil Arrives

August 28, 2020August 13, 2020 Vinterd

To sit here and describe any type of music as “cinematic” is always a small stretch for me because what’s the difference between something that feels “cinematic” or is just atmospheric or just some form of post-whatever? Well, nothing really. … Continue reading Wolfhand – The Devil Arrives

The Spacelords – Spaceflowers

August 21, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

One of the most intriguing sounds in all of music, in my opinion, is undoubtedly just about any form of instrumental rock but especially when it’s drenched in psychedelia. Whether it leans towards the heavier side or not, the style has always … Continue reading The Spacelords – Spaceflowers

Shaman Elephant – Wide Awake But Still Asleep

August 11, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

A slow burn is something that very few bands have a real handle over only because it’s such a hard thing to pull off even just once. For those who do achieve it, it typically comes in the form of … Continue reading Shaman Elephant – Wide Awake But Still Asleep

Elephant Tree – Habits

August 5, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

I remember when I was first coming around to the glorious style that is heavy psych and everything closely related to it that Elephant Tree put out a massive album that caught all sorts of well-deserved accolades. It really seemed … Continue reading Elephant Tree – Habits

Triúr – Now’s The Time

August 1, 2020July 18, 2020 Vinterd

It’s much more often than not that most hard rock I find feels like the sort of material that’s actively trying to get on the radio for one reason or another, and it also feels like the vast majority of … Continue reading Triúr – Now’s The Time
