Moloch Conspiracy /Araphel / Veiled Monk – Trinitas Sanctus

May 10, 2018 Vinterd

 One of the genres that I’ve been meaning to spend more time in than anything outside of metal is the world of ambiance. It’s such a rich, complex style from the likes of dungeon synth to dark ambient to noise … Continue reading Moloch Conspiracy /Araphel / Veiled Monk – Trinitas Sanctus

Kalmankantaja / Iku-Turso – Ikuinen Tuli

March 23, 2018August 1, 2020 Vinterd

The beautiful thing about underground black metal is how quickly it can spread if it’s potent enough and reaches the correct ears. Last year, Iku-Turso made one hell of an impact with their debut album and many people were simply … Continue reading Kalmankantaja / Iku-Turso – Ikuinen Tuli

Precaria / Deathspiral of Inherited Suffering / Dominus Ira – Metamorphosphoros

February 21, 2018February 22, 2018 Vinterd

 The appeal of a split is not lost on me in any capacity. It can bring together two great bands for a monumental listen the likes of which we only could’ve hoped to see live before that. Splits tend to … Continue reading Precaria / Deathspiral of Inherited Suffering / Dominus Ira – Metamorphosphoros

February 15, 2018 Vinterd

As someone who does these reviews on a daily basis, I’m no stranger when it comes to bands that have caused a bit of an uproar. Two of the more bombastic bands that have captured peoples’ attention are Iron Reagan’s … Continue reading Iron Reagan / Gatecreeper – split

Windhand / Satan’s Satyrs – Split

February 3, 2018February 4, 2018 Vinterd

 Windhand has long been a driving force of modern doom metal and immediately upon inspection is it easy to see why as their fuzzy riffs fill ever listener with a gloomy cacophony that is all but delicious. The Virginia natives … Continue reading Windhand / Satan’s Satyrs – Split

Spectral Lore / Jute Gyte – Helian

December 27, 2017 Vinterd

 The global underground scene of metal is so unbelievably massive and vast it’s impossible to hear everything that demands attention.

October 19, 2017October 20, 2017 Vinterd

 I’ve covered a few splits over the course of the last few months, and they’ve all been fantastic, oddly enough. It seems that 2017 has been a great year for all types of albums from full-lengths to splits, and I … Continue reading Ah Ciliz / Chiral – Origins

The Wakedead Gathering / Ecferus – s/t

October 11, 2017October 12, 2017 Vinterd

 The very dark world of black and death metal is a realm that’s incredibly hostile, as you might imagine, and it’s extremely oversaturated in today’s day and age. It can become a land of horrors very easily, and the genre … Continue reading The Wakedead Gathering / Ecferus – s/t

Fetid Zombie / Svierg – Once Still Cosmos

August 21, 2017August 22, 2017 Vinterd

 As one of the bands that made one of my absolute favorite records from last year as well as being an underground staple for all of death metal, Fetid Zombie is more entertaining than ever, and after “Epicedia” I wondered … Continue reading Fetid Zombie / Svierg – Once Still Cosmos

Howls of Ebb / Khthoniik Cerviiks – With Gangrene Edges / Voiidwarp

August 9, 2017August 10, 2017 Vinterd

 A few years ago I was introduced to this weird ass band out of ol’ San Fran called Howls of Ebb, and I decided to investigate. Unfortunately, at the time I had yet to really get into death metal of … Continue reading Howls of Ebb / Khthoniik Cerviiks – With Gangrene Edges / Voiidwarp
