  WinterheartH  are  a  band  from  St.  John's,  Newfoundland  and  Labrador,  Canada  that  has  been  featured  before  in  this  zine  and  on  this  recording  plays  a  melodic  mixture  of  black  and  thrash  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2023  album  "Rape  Of  Eden"  which  will b e  released  on  March  21st.

  Clean  playing  starts  off  the  album  along  with  a  brief  use  of  spoken  word  samples  before  going  into  a  heavier direction.  Elements  of  thrash  metal  can  also  be  heard  in  some  of  the  guitar  riffing  while  the  faster  sections  of  the  songs  also  add  in  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast beats  which  also  gives  the  music  more  of  a  raw  feeling.

  The  riffs  also  add  in  a  great  amount  of  melody  while  the  vocals  are  mostly  black  metal  screams  along  with  a  few  death  metal  growls.  All  of  the  musical  instruments  on  the  recording  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  along  with  the  songs  also  adding  in  a decent  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts.

  When  guitar  solos  and  leads  are  utilized  they  are  also  done  in  a  very  melodic  style  along  with  the  songs  also  adding  in  a  good  mixture  of  both  modern  and  old  school  influences  as  well a s  one  song  also  introducing  synths  onto  the  recording.  The  production  sounds  very  professional  while  the  lyrics  cover  plants  and  how  they  will  destroy  the  human  body  and  soul.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  album  from  WinterheartH  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  melodic  black  and  thrash  metal,  you  should  check  out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Scarlet  Love(&  A  Black  Heart)"  and  "Wormwood". 8  out  of  10. - occultblackmetalzine

Short Bio: After regional and international success with their third LP Riverbed Empire, WinterheartH returned to the studio to record their follow up EP Rape of Eden. With the help of professional mentoring from Anabelle Iratni (Veile, Ex-Cradle of Filth) the band now has a much more direct approach to their music. Abandoning some of the longer progressive elements in favor of blasts and rage that will wake the dead.  Each song on Rape of Eden reflects on a different plant and how it will destroy the human body and soul. This is relevant to the theme of Ecocentrism, a point of view that focuses on the ecosphere rather than the biosphere. The EP also features WinterheartH’s second released cover which is an instrumental take on the Japanese Folk song Sakura, Sakura. This was chosen due to the fact the Sakura(Cherry Blossom) is an unofficial national plant of Japan that also symbolizes rebirth. While writing and recording Rape of Eden WinterheartH has recruited drummer Nathan Manuel and quickly returned to playing show circuits. This included performing at the 2022 East Coast Music Association’s Loud Showcase in Fredericton, New Brunswick and opening for Quebec Black Metal band Necronomicon. The band is set to perform again at the 2023 ECMA Loud Showcase in Halifax, Nova Scotia and will be opening for New Brunswick’s Diner Drugs shortly after. Rape of Eden shows that although WinterheartH may be legends and veterans in their markets, they show no signs of slowing down in the unforeseeable future.
