Amaltheia – s/t

February 27, 2022February 19, 2022 Vinterd

If you ask me, one of the most potent tools that any black metal act could possibly utilize in the crafting of their music is plain and simple melody. When it’s used right, it makes for a truly staggering performance … Continue reading Amaltheia – s/t

Ysyry Mollvün – s/t

February 2, 2022January 24, 2022 Vinterd

Slowly but surely, the world of metal is starting to see some real representation from the lesser-known regions of the world. South America, in particular, has long been a world of interest to someone like me as even though there’s … Continue reading Ysyry Mollvün – s/t

Godless Truth – s/t

January 4, 2022December 21, 2021 Vinterd

The very origins of technical death metal can be up for dispute much the origins of any style, but it can be very interesting in this case given its recent rise in popularity, but it seems to be more often … Continue reading Godless Truth – s/t

Drune – s/t

December 11, 2021December 3, 2021 Vinterd

It’s been a long-standing tradition at this point that the tried and true magic of sludge and doom metal brought together can provide us with material that isn’t some of the heaviest that we’ve ever come across, but it can … Continue reading Drune – s/t

Genocide Pact – s/t

December 1, 2021November 20, 2021 Vinterd

There are more than enough ways to deliver some worthwhile death metal with it easily being one of the most fleshed out and expansive styles to grace the world of metal by far with its popularity never once waning and … Continue reading Genocide Pact – s/t

Contemplation – s/t

October 31, 2021October 16, 2021 Vinterd

On occasion, we get an album that seems to almost spit in the very face of genre boundaries for how explorative the sound is right from the beginning and how unashamed the band in question is to explore the possibilities … Continue reading Contemplation – s/t

Sense of Noise – s/t

October 29, 2021October 14, 2021 Vinterd

Whether you’re aware of it or not, it really does seem that melodic death metal finds itself at a crossroads the likes of which I find endlessly fascinating as I don’t see anything else quite like it across any of … Continue reading Sense of Noise – s/t

Eaters of the Soil – s/t

August 16, 2021August 4, 2021 Vinterd

The very concept of experimentation in metal is something that makes my mouth salivate in immense excitement as much as it incites mass skepticism into my soul since anything experimental is the very definition of a gamble when we take … Continue reading Eaters of the Soil – s/t

Defacement – s/t

July 30, 2021July 19, 2021 Vinterd

A band that manages to come up out of virtually nowhere and make waves will always be worthy of investigation by all accounts, and that was far from the case a few years ago when Defacement came out of the … Continue reading Defacement – s/t

Doom, MetalLeave a comment

Cavern Deep – s/t

June 29, 2021June 12, 2021 Vinterd

There are some works that are virtually destined to be called genius. However, genius comes in many different variations with the strength of such genius varying from one work to the next especially when it comes to the complexity of … Continue reading Cavern Deep – s/t
