Screaming out "I'm alive" and listening to this album give the exact same feeling. Truly great music.   16 hours ago

That ray of sunshine on the cover should give you an idea of how it feels to listen to this. Some BM fans might feel there's not enough BM on the album. Keep an open mind; it's good music.   16 hours ago

I love the hellish atmosphere and vigor of this album.   16 hours ago

I seriously needed to relax, and the wonderful atmosphere of this vicious album gave me everything I needed. A bit like 90s symphonic BM to my ear, it might be Borgne following the lead of their influences before finding ways to be more original just a couple of years later. Anyway, it's still as great as I expected.   1 day ago

Maybe about 15% metal, but overall I can enjoy it a bit because of the obvious effort that went into making the ambient soundscape intriguing.   1 day ago

Lucky that this deathgrind supergroup gets together, and holy %*#@$ that drumming.   1 day ago

From the opening guitar tone, I just knew this was going to be great. The energy is amazing, and the drumming is astounding. A reminder of why I listen to Misery Index, and of why I'm fond of deathgrind.   2 days ago

First I want to say that track 8 is a full-on masterpiece. Now, this album will be a challenging experience for many listeners, but it's worth it to brave the strange, maybe unnameable, feelings and unconventional song structures. This album is really about something and it matches the theme musically. My pick of the day. Something worked out right with all those veteran collaborators.   2 days ago

Heavy insanity, and it sounds like it takes some serious skills to play these songs. Bonus respect for the Bosch allusion.   2 days ago

Not the style I expected to hear and, to be honest, it doesn't hold together so well. It feels a bit awkward. Brittney's vocals keep this score from dropping to 70. Their later songwriting is so much better.   2 days ago

One of those big & omnipresent releases in recent post-rock. I liked it a bit a few years ago, but it impresses me much more now. Highly recommendable.   2 days ago

Is it cheating to raid the most legendary moments of classical music for your own metal album? Anyway, it's quite a journey, and this rendition of Chopin's piece is astounding.   2 days ago

The whole album is good, but a few parts are totally fantastic. Another high-quality release by Sidus Atrum.   2 days ago

Nice rousing pagan feelings from a very dependable & very busy artist.   2 days ago

A good place to start for Amiensus. It's listenable, but they did progress much further than this just a couple of years later.   2 days ago

Heavy as all hell, hypnotizing as all hell, and Stygian as all Hades. These are fantastic songs, and they all work together as one huge 36-minute piece. Highly commendable and it's enjoyable on a visceral level.   2 days ago

Wow. This artist has been gaining experience for a number of years already, and it really shows in the swooning beauty of these melodies.   2 days ago

A contemporary classic of post-rock. I used to listen to this one often, and it has just as much substance to it as I recollect. Great to escape from vocals and just feel the flow of the music.   2 days ago

Yes it's heavy, brutal, & gigantic, but I just couldn't get so excited about it. Maybe it's more for metalheads partial to brutality.   5 days ago

Did you ever have a Slam Wednesday? Well, for me, there were some great examples of bands putting some real feeling & nuance into all the thunderous destruction. Also, though slam vocals are by design quite absurd, Analepsy makes them listenable & expressive too. Good work.   5 days ago

Here's the danger with all these glamorous cover models posing for these albums; if she's not my type I don't want to hurt her feelings, but I might not want the album because my sense of beauty is not so typical. Also, the instrumentation is excellent on this one.   5 days ago

I'm glad this true gem showed up on Slam Worldwide. Often slam is fun, but with the thick atmosphere, and the good taste in vocals, I take this one a bit more seriously. The cover art is a super cool concept with execution that's a bit medium, but the music is quite high-tier to my ears.   5 days ago

More passion than you could imagine on this powerful album that feels at once in dirty club somewhere but also in some fancy rehearsal space. There's a billion guest vocalists from crust and hardcore groups. Really genuine stuff from a bunch that believes in what they're saying.   5 days ago

Thanks to wonderfully mind-warping albums like this, dissonant DM is a very happening sub-genre. I can tell a lot of work & inspiration went into making this. Great cover too. Total class act.   5 days ago

I like the style since it's similar to Cult of Luna & Julie Christmas's collaboration. However, I don't get into this Guhts album as much. The vocals feel more like performance art, which could be OK, but I just don't like it as much as some sludge fans might. It's still easy to hear how this is a fully capable band - maybe I'll like another album from them much more.   5 days ago

I can imagine the nostalgia many fans must feel for when this was a brand new style, but most of these songs are too basic. Please vary some riffs & beats... maybe a key change or tempo change. Anyway, it is a super early release from a towering discography, so who am I to complain.   5 days ago

I feel like each song has a purpose. Real passion behind these well written songs. One of many good Darkthrone albums.   5 days ago

Barely anything grinding on this one. It's more like very angry and not melodic metalcore alongside 8-bit & 16-bit music. As far as that goes, it's pretty good.   5 days ago

I really can't wait for Distant Dream's new album and I was trying to find something similar. This album's pretty good. The like-but-not-love category.   5 days ago

군제대 후 이 앨범을 듣고 충격을 받았던 기억이 생생...토비아스의 천재성이 드러난 앨범 바이올린을 전공했던 큰 애가 요즘도 가끔 연주하는 "Vain Glory Opera"   Apr 25, 2024

전작 "Cowboys from Hell" 에 이은 연타석 홈런...얼터가 판치기 시작하던 때 꿋꿋이 버텨 준...   Apr 30, 2024

very good album by Vanden Plas. These prog metallers know how to make a good album.   May 1, 2024

DT와 더불어 가장 활발한 활동을 하는 스틸 얼라이브 프록메탈 밴드로 영국의 대표밴드 스래쉬홀드와 더불어 독일을 대표하는 프록메탈밴드로 아주 훌륭한 연주력과 작곡력이 이번 앨범에도 퍼포먼스에 광을 내고 있다   May 3, 2024

드디어 이들의 약점이었던 절제된 기타솔로가 어느정도 해금되었습니다. 지난 앨범도 만족스러웠는데 역시나 이번에도 실망하지 않게 해주네요. 나이가 들어감에 따라 내가 좋아하는 밴드들도 하나둘씩 늙어가고 멤버들도 세상을 떠나는 걸 보니 매우 슬프네요. 반덴플라스는 계속 음악활동 왕성히 해주었으면 좋겠습니다   6 days ago

Album rips, didn't think they could do it again after Firepower but I have been proven wrong!   Apr 15, 2024

블랙모어가 딥퍼플에서 나와서 좋은 것은 rainbow식 음악도 들을 수 있게 되었다는 점이다. 아주 아주 특이한 감성을 갖고 있는 사람이다. 아주 헤비한 락이면서도 부분 부분 포크적인 느낌도 있고 쓰잔함도 갖고 있다. 당대의 3대장하고는 다른 맛을 느낄 수 있다. 1,4,6이 대표곡. 3번은 quatarmass 9번은 yardbirds 커버곡이다. 희한하게 LP의 양면 라벨이 바뀐 것도 있다.   Apr 16, 2024

내가 바라는 프로그레시브메탈 그 자체. 부드러움, 날뛰는 에너지, 서정성, 테크니컬함 모든것을 갖추었다. 드림씨어터 3집과 함꼐 주관적인 프로그레시브메탈 최고작. 94점.   Apr 16, 2024

리치가 베이스를 1–3, 6를 연주했다. 그 외의 스튜디오는 밥 데이즐리 연주. 어렸을 때에는 1,5를 굉장히 좋아했었는데 문제는 5를 라센 시기에는 듣질 못했었다. 지금은 오히려 4번 같은 곡이 애청곡이 되었다. 앨범으로 기준으로도 1,2집보다 더 좋아했던 기억이 있다. 8번은 역시나 디오의 또 다른 보컬 맛을 느끼기 좋은 곡. 디오 재적시의 앨범은 영원할 것 같다.   Apr 20, 2024

3인조 코로너의 전 앨범 특히 2,3,4집을 좋아합니다. 옛날에 3집을 LP로 구입했었는데 속지에 시계, 스위스, 큰 글자로 '그로테스크' 라고 적힌 기억이.. 이후 90년대 중후반에 걸쳐서 전 앨범을 시디로 하나씩 모았죠. 30년간 신보를 안 내고 재결성 후에 아직도 활동하는 것도 특이한데, 그만큼 고정팬들이 많다는거 거겠죠.   Apr 25, 2024

올해의 명반!   Apr 28, 2024

간만에 듣는 수작 프로그레시브 젠트 앨범. 개인적으로 프록을 좋아하지 않음에도 불구하고 리프가 살아있고 복잡한 연주보다는 분위기나 리듬이 강조되어 듣는 재미가 배가 되었다. 보컬이 그로울링이었더라면 취향 100점 짜리 앨범이 되었지 않을까라는 생각도 드는 앨범.   Apr 29, 2024

카르카스 앨범 중 최고 명반이 아닐까!!!   Apr 30, 2024

Absolute crushing, heavy as fuck!   May 3, 2024

이름값에 걸맞는 앨범. 특히 유럽 내에서 그들의 인기는 타의 추종을 불허한다. 처음부터 끝까지 단단한 구성과 강력한 연주가 여전하다. 하지만 들은 후 이렇다할 임팩트나 싱글지향적 멜로디 부재의 한끝이 아쉽다.   May 5, 2024

1990년도에 대체 무슨 일이 있었길래... rust in peace, painkiller, spiritual healing, cowboys from hell까지... 가슴이 웅장해진다. 나머지 앨범들도 손에 꼽을 정도로 좋아하는 앨범이지만 거의 모든 곡이 취향 저격인 앨범은 이것 밖에 없다.   7 days ago

개인적으로 이 앨범을 그렇게 좋아하지 않는다. 이 앨범이야 말로 방향성이 애매했던 프로듀싱과 작곡으로 생각보다 안좋네 라고 생각했던 앨범. 물론 메탈 갓이 주다스의 시그니쳐로 쓰이기는 한데 이 곡도 애매하다. 브레이킹 더 로나 리빙도 맘에 안들고 물론 관중과 싱어롱할때는 좋긴 하다고 생각은 하지만 말이다. 75-80점.6번 8번이 의외로 좋다.   6 days ago

밀레니엄 시기의 소위 '팝수성' 가득한 사운드로 청자를 타격한다. 특기할만한 것은 그 타격 지점이 RATM도, Limp Bizkit과 Korn, Slipknot도 내딛지 않았던 공간이라는 사실.   4 days ago

very good album by Sepultura. Also, the front cover of Arise is excellent.   2 days ago
