Exactly what I wanted to hear. This super prolific artist keeps the quality level high.   May 16, 2024

I liked abyss a little more, but I see they're still growing as songwriters. Everything is either good or excellent. Especially excellent is the variety, ranging from clean & happy power metal to quite extreme moments as well, and it all feels natural.   May 16, 2024

It's so-so for me. Some songs stop awkwardly in the middle, and the compositions feel a bit plain. The overall sound is really nice though.   May 16, 2024

Nice depressive compositions by Woods of Desolation.   May 16, 2024

Everything's very good: songwriting, guitar tone, genuine feeling. Easy to recommend.   May 14, 2024

Screaming out "I'm alive" and listening to this album give the exact same feeling. Truly great music.   May 14, 2024

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.   May 14, 2024

I love the hellish atmosphere and vigor of this album.   May 14, 2024

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.   May 13, 2024

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.   May 13, 2024

Lucky that this deathgrind supergroup gets together, and holy %*#@$ that drumming.   May 13, 2024

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.   May 12, 2024

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.   May 12, 2024

Heavy insanity, and it sounds like it takes some serious skills to play these songs. Bonus respect for the Bosch allusion.   May 12, 2024

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.   May 12, 2024

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.   May 12, 2024

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.   May 12, 2024

The whole album is good, but a few parts are totally fantastic. Another high-quality release by Sidus Atrum.   May 12, 2024

Nice rousing pagan feelings from a very dependable & very busy artist.   May 12, 2024

A good place to start for Amiensus. It's listenable, but they did progress much further than this just a couple of years later.   May 12, 2024

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.   May 12, 2024

Wow. This artist has been gaining experience for a number of years already, and it really shows in the swooning beauty of these melodies.   May 12, 2024

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.   May 12, 2024

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.   May 9, 2024

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.   May 9, 2024

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.   May 9, 2024

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.   May 9, 2024

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.   May 9, 2024

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.   May 9, 2024

너무 탄탄하다. 40년 가까이 축적된 음악성이 드러난 앨범...연주, 곡 구성, 녹음 등 나무랄 부분이 없다.   May 10, 2024

밀레니엄 시기의 소위 '팝수성' 가득한 사운드로 청자를 타격한다. 특기할만한 것은 그 타격 지점이 RATM도, Limp Bizkit과 Korn, Slipknot도 내딛지 않았던 공간이라는 사실.   May 10, 2024

천재라 불렸던 자들은 진짜 총기가 불을 뿜는 때가 있다. 이시절의 나가쉬가 그랬다. 전작과 너무 다른 이앨범으로 전작에 버금가는 놀라운 사운드를 만들어냈다. 일렉트로니카와 익스트림을 섞어 부대찌개처럼 절묘한 융합의 새로운 맛을 냈다. 이렇게 세기말을 통과했던 이들은 너무 빨리 미래로 넘어갔다. 25년이 넘어도 여전히 미래적이다.   May 14, 2024

이때의 모습을 그리워하는 건 나뿐이진 않을 듯...   May 16, 2024

시간이 지날수록 앨범의 가치가 살아나는 작품. 코지파웰의 드러밍이 기가막힌 글램롹의 좋은 본보기.   May 27, 2024

저먼 스래쉬 삼총사 중에서 가장 유명한 크리에이터의 2집으로 타이틀곡이자 앨범 제목 '살인의 쾌락' 만큼 음악이 살벌하다. 이후 5년 정도 명반 행진을... 스래쉬 최고의 해인 86년에 나온 앨범 중에서 이거랑 견줄만한게 슬레이어 3집이나 다크엔젤 2집이 있다. 3작품 모두 내가 가장 원하는 초스피드,초과격이라는 공통점이 있다.   5 days ago

이 앨범 페인킬러보다 좋다. Ram It Down부터 Monsters of Rock을 거쳐 리마스터반에 수록된 Night Comes Down, Bloodstone 라이브 트랙까지 완벽 그 자체. 이것이야말로 한 트랙도 절대 빼버릴 게 없는 무결점의 헤비메탈 명반이다.   4 days ago

MR. Dio , He should be in HEAVEN now...   May 10, 2024

very good album by Sepultura. Also, the front cover of Arise is excellent.   May 12, 2024

예측불허의 사운드에 넋이 나가며 회원님들의 코멘트에 적극 동감하는 바이다.   May 12, 2024

20세기의 끝을 알리는 멜데스의 걸작이다. 끝내주는 멜로디 하나로 메탈을 좋아하지 않거나 입문하는 사람들에게도 권해볼만한 작품   May 12, 2024

이 앨범 그냥 시대를 관통했습니다. 2030 고독사가 늘어나고 점점 사람들과의 관계가 멀어져 가는 요즘 시대에 살아가는 우리들에게 받아야할 위로를 이 앨범이 하나의 동화처럼 들려주기 때문입니다. 그리고 이 앨범의 모티브가 된 실화는 현 우리나라의 문제점을 그대로 나타나는 게 더 소름돋습니다.   May 12, 2024

Excellent disc. Despite not surpassing its predecessor, it is a sensational album. The Last in Line is one of Dio's greatest classics.   May 14, 2024

미국 밴드를 유럽 스타일의 밴드로 만든 건 샤샤 패스의 힘이 아닐까 한다. 본격적인 이들의 전성기 시작~   May 17, 2024

락/메탈의 시대 흐름에 따른 트렌드의 변화를 가장 적나라하게 보여주는 앨범. 메탈헤드 모두가 수긍할 만한 스타일의 음악은 아니지만 당시 Slayer도 Public Enemy도 좋아했던 나에게는 최고의 앨범 중 하나였다.   May 18, 2024

이럴거면 차라리 슬레이어 새 앨범을 내시는 게...   May 18, 2024

만약 "드림시어터"의 음악으로 본 다면 이 앨범은 DT중 가장 쳐지고 가벼운 음반이 될 것이다, 만약 드림시어터의 "음악"으로 본 다면 이 앨범은 재즈,블루스 등을 잘 버무려 본인들만의 스타일을 접목시켜 만들어낸 이색적인 작품이 될 것이다. 물론 호불호가 당연히 있을것이다. 하지만 이 앨범은 망작이라는 평가를 받기에는 수려한 곡들이 가득가득 들어차있다.   May 18, 2024

전곡이 훌륭한 테크스래시 초명반. 93.5점.   May 19, 2024

락을 그리 좋아하지 않는 와이프도 좋아하는 앨범...   May 20, 2024
