Hope Drone – Cloak of Ash

Vinterd

 As a strike of absolute brilliance that I did not see coming, Hope Drone’s upcoming album “Cloak of Ash” is a 7-track piece of atmospheric black metal mixed with sludge metal that fans will be completely blown the fuck away. That’s how I was after just the first track which over 20 goddamn minutes long, and an interesting 20 at that. Every other track was 9 to 10 minutes long which is one of the things that atmospheric black metal is known for along with being atmospheric, of course. Each track off of “Cloak of Ash” is a roller coaster … Continue reading Hope Drone – Cloak of Ash

Allfather – No Gods No Masters

Vinterd

 If you’ve been looking for an EP that has elements of anarchy with a sludge/doom metal performance and being all around badass then look no further than Allfather’s brand new EP “No Gods No Masters”! This album is certainly a piece of work for sludge/doom metal fans with the vicious vocals and ripping guitars than fans of both genres should have their mouths watering over in no time at all after they press play for this impressive opening track “The Great Destroyer”. And even though “No Gods No Masters” only have 4 tracks that doesn’t mean that Allfather is limited … Continue reading Allfather – No Gods No Masters

Unmothered – U M B R A

Vinterd

 I’ve never thought that a 3-song album from a doom/sludge band could implement black metal into an album so well as Unmothered has done with their upcoming album “U M B R A”. All the songs off of this album sound amazing with their versatility between the three genres while also being very heavy to the point where you can head bang for this entire album and replay the whole thing over just to do it again. I’ve seen reviews for “U M B R A” that call it a mixture of Unsane, Today is the Day, and YOB; very … Continue reading Unmothered – U M B R A

The Dead – Deathsteps to Oblivion

Vinterd

 Yet another fantastic album of last year that had managed to escape my radar has been given to me by the head of the PR company Transcending Obscurity! “Deathsteps to Oblivion” is (as it sounds) a hardcore death metal album that also has black, sludge, and doom metal thrown into the mix to complete an absolute Goliath-like album. I can say for an absolute fact that this was my favorite sludge metal album of last year. I’d say the same for the other genres but other albums still hold the top spots for each other, but I digress. The Dead … Continue reading The Dead – Deathsteps to Oblivion

Dune – Aurora Majesty

Vinterd

 An album with only having two tracks isn’t really a thing you really see anymore. The most recent examples I can think of are Pig Destroyer’s “Mass and Volume” and Inter Arma’s “The Cavern” having two tracks and then one track respectively, but Dune is the latest (to my knowledge) to have an album coming out with a two track album and this one is called (as you might have already noticed) “Aurora Majesty”. This album isn’t even 15 minutes long but it still packs a pretty impressive punch. Both tracks run over 5 minutes long and use that length … Continue reading Dune – Aurora Majesty
