Ola Englund – Master of the Universe

March 20, 2019March 21, 2019 Vinterd

When I first started listening to death metal, I didn’t know what I was looking for other than something to really leap out at me. Nothing held my attention or served as my gateway drug until I stumbled across Feared’s … Continue reading Ola Englund – Master of the Universe

Bort – The Unblinking Eye

March 19, 2019March 20, 2019 Vinterd

It’s always whenever I listen to an album that I expect to not hear anything from the band in question for years at least unless some sort of double album bonanza is at play. So whenever I hear from a … Continue reading Bort – The Unblinking Eye

Flame, Dear Flame – The Millennial Heartbeat

March 16, 2019March 17, 2019 Vinterd

The single greatest idea that I’ve found in all my time scouring music is how every now and then we get an act that dares to create songs that are ridiculous in length as we get pieces that can range … Continue reading Flame, Dear Flame – The Millennial Heartbeat

June 1974 – Nemesi

March 8, 2019March 9, 2019 Vinterd

Much of the time that I go to sit down and listen to something instrumental, it’s always to take my mind off the day that I’ve had and simply allow the soundscapes to wash over me completely with the music … Continue reading June 1974 – Nemesi

Obszön Geschöpf – Master of Giallo

March 4, 2019 Vinterd

It’s a simple fact of music that every band has to end at some point, but that doesn’t stop some bands from refusing to quit even after decades of putting out music. Metal and rock have taken such an idea … Continue reading Obszön Geschöpf – Master of Giallo

Gracious Sinner – Ex Nihilo

February 21, 2019 Vinterd

After five years of doing reviews, I’ve learned the mostly useless skill of being able to tell when a band is making music for pure fun versus a band making music to get plays or money of some sort. There’s … Continue reading Gracious Sinner – Ex Nihilo

Obsidian Sea – Strangers

February 19, 2019December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Nowadays, it feels like the reverence of the era of classic doom is more potent than ever as we’ve gotten absolutely throngs of acts that have sought to recreate that sound as we’ve seen the styles of heavy psych, proto-doom, … Continue reading Obsidian Sea – Strangers

Black Lung – Ancients

February 3, 2019 Vinterd

 It goes without saying that the modern climate of everything doom is the best it’s ever been as we have acts new and old continuously providing us the kind of stuff that constantly makes us salivate as fans of the … Continue reading Black Lung – Ancients

Isla Fortuna – Verity

January 8, 2019 Vinterd

 If you’re anything like me, whenever you listen to psychedelic rock you like the psychedelia at maximum capacity with riffs for fucking days to compliment everything going on real nice. It’s a sprawling landscape of a scene that has allowed … Continue reading Isla Fortuna – Verity

January – Vive

January 3, 2019 Vinterd

 Music has this weird property where it can feel very much like a living thing with its own pulse and energy about it that really brings the music in question together in a way that very few things can do … Continue reading January – Vive
