New York City-based outfit Winter is a heavy metal band that was originally active between 1988 and 1992 before reforming in 2010. The band first offered its doom metal and melodic death metal fusion on its debut album Into Darkness, in 1990 followed by its Eternal Frost EP, in 1994 before calling it quits later the same year. Winter stirred rumors of a reunion when it re-released its records in 2008, and went onto play the 2011 Roadburn Festival in the Netherlands.
