Released in 1990, when you’d expect a mix of influences like Hellhammer and Discharge to result in something akin to Napalm Death, New York’s Winter came up with something much bleaker and much slower. Into Darkness, their debut, shares a crusty, noisy, sense of protest with Napalm Death but rather than delivering it with blasting speed, Winter grind out an apocalyptically desolate combination of guttural death and turgid doom metal. It met with complete indifference on its original release and drummer and label problems meant the band called it a day soon after. But Into Darkness’ stature as a timeless mushroom cloud of misery has rightly grown over the years. An absolutely essential, boundary-pushing record.
HEAVY METAL OVERLOAD 
“A timeless mushroom cloud of misery”. My partner calls me that sometimes.

Their music was a bit overused in adverts at the time I’d imagine.

All jesting aside they really do sound like the aftermath of a nuclear strike. Horrifically bleak.
