Insomnio
preview  Hamlet preview  Insomnio (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
The band continues to play a style of Nu/Groove Metal that doesn't resonate with me, but this is a very clear improvement in their sound. Moments of strength do arise here.   Jan 20, 2024
Evanescent, Everfading
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Sub par Melodeath. Some Gothic or Folky elements at times, not enough to make it unique, but it's a solid enough record.   Jan 20, 2024
Same Difference
preview  Entombed preview  Same Difference (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
Entombed took a dive here. Way less Death Metal, way more Stoner Metal. Most songs are on the boring side, but a few, like the opening track, retain some key energy and catchy riffage.   Jan 20, 2024
Blodhemn
preview  Enslaved preview  Blodhemn (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Enslaved remain a strong and consistent band, though this threatens to be the weakest album they had released at the time.   Jan 20, 2024
High Proof Cosmic Milk
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
Acid Drinkers playing their usual game here. Groove Metal with some Crossover Thrash and a healthy dose of humor. And still not doing much for me.   Jan 20, 2024
Trance
preview  Virgin Black preview  Trance (1998)  [EP]
level 12 SilentScream213   45/100
Interesting musical ideas here, but the vocals are quite bad, they don't work here.   Jan 20, 2024
Kingdom
preview  Vader preview  Kingdom (1998)  [EP]
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Full of great, classic Vader material... and then two atrocious club/dance remixes. Worth it for the keeps, but I'd never listen to the full thing.   Jan 20, 2024
Exodus
preview  Samael preview  Exodus (1998)  [EP]
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
The style here is largely similar to the previously symphonic Passage. Unfortunately, it just doesn't have the same magic, but it's still strong enough.   Jan 20, 2024
NewRage World Music
preview  Red Harvest preview  NewRage World Music (1998)  [EP]
level 12 SilentScream213   60/100
Some awesome material here. But not always consistent, and the EP is dragged down by the unbearable final track.   Jan 20, 2024
Saw You Drown
preview  Katatonia preview  Saw You Drown (1998)  [EP]
level 12 SilentScream213   90/100
Brilliant mix of their Doom and Gothic sound. The original tracks here are great, Quiet World specifically is essential listening.   Jan 20, 2024

Mosquito Control
preview  Isis preview  Mosquito Control (1998)  [EP]
level 12 SilentScream213   45/100
This thing was quite an unpleasant experience. Very noisy and dissonant, without building any impressive atmospheres.   Jan 20, 2024
In Battle There Is No Law
level 12 SilentScream213   60/100
A decent enough start, but the band hadn't solidified their sound at all, so what they play here is sub par Metalcore with a lot of Death Metal influence, but not enough good riffs.   Jan 20, 2024
Out of Misery
preview  God Forbid preview  Out of Misery (1998)  [EP]
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Intense, dark, and sludgy, this thing is rancid. It doesn't have enough strong riffs or emotion to grant it staying power, though.   Jan 20, 2024
Supercoven
preview  Electric Wizard preview  Supercoven (1998)  [EP]
level 12 SilentScream213   45/100
Really boring, goes nowhere, evokes nothing, doesn't bother building any atmosphere. Not doomy in the slightest.   Jan 20, 2024
Satanic Art
preview  Dodheimsgard preview  Satanic Art (1998)  [EP]
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
This is where the band got deeper into an experimental, Avant-Garde sound, and started playing with Industrial aspects as well. For me, it doesn't work most of the time. I prefer their purer Black Metal sound to this one.   Jan 20, 2024
Under the Running Board
level 12 SilentScream213   45/100
Really abrasive and unpleasant to listen to. Impressive musicianship, but they fail to craft anything enjoyable with it.   Jan 20, 2024
Satanic Speed Metal
preview  Destroyer 666 preview  Satanic Speed Metal (1998)  [EP]
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
Sub par Blackened Speed Metal. Not much Thrash, and not that memorable, but it's serviceable.   Jan 20, 2024
Silent Storm
preview  Dark Lunacy preview  Silent Storm (1998)  [EP]
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Potential is here, but the songs are still in their infancy. The debut would improve on this by leaps and bounds.   Jan 20, 2024
Symphony of Death
preview  Grave Digger preview  Symphony of Death (1994)  [EP]
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Decent EP that has the band moving further towards Power Metal.   Nov 24, 2023
Halcyon
preview  Solstice preview  Halcyon (1996)  [EP]
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
It's good, but for some reason entirely weaker than the debut, and the interludes are terrible.   Nov 24, 2023
... Amber Sea
level 12 SilentScream213   85/100
This was better than the material on their debut! Most of it carried over, but all the best songs are here, and I actually prefer the heavier production on this.   Nov 24, 2023
The Dawn of the Dying Sun
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Not as strong as their previous album, but still solid   Jul 28, 2023
Sit Stand Kneel Prey
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Slight improvement over the last one, as it's less Groove-laden, but some odd Grunge influence here is not really welcome.   Jul 28, 2023
Facing the Animal
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
It's a fine album, but Yngwie is really repeating himself over and over. It can be boring if you're not specifically a big fan of his style or shred music in general.   Jul 28, 2023

Kill Fuck Die
preview  W.A.S.P. preview  Kill Fuck Die (1997)
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
Industrial influenced with totally synthesized drums. Ironically, this might have the most interesting drumming on a W.A.S.P. album yet. Music is mostly good if not a bit boring.   Jul 28, 2023
Phobos
preview  Voivod preview  Phobos (1997)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Incredibly dark and dissonant disasterpiece from Voivod. It can be a difficult album because it is very heavy, noisy, and Avant-Garde, but there is some insane quality buried here.   Jul 28, 2023

Cast in Stone
preview  Venom preview  Cast in Stone (1997)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Not bad at all, most of the songs here are fine cuts of raw Speed Metal. But, it's definitely bloated, filled with way too many tracks that they didn't need.   Jul 28, 2023

Ripping, thrashy Death Metal, played with clinical precision. Monster of an album, absolute face shredder.   Jul 28, 2023

Nattens madrigal: Aatte hymne til ulven i manden

Production on this is just too atrocious. Physically painful. Compositions are occasionally very good, but also sometimes boring and too repetitive. This one is way overrated.   Jul 28, 2023

The Empyrean Equation of the long lost Things
level 13 caLintZ   90/100
군터 베르노의 부재가 오히려 곡의 diversity가 증가하는 방향으로 귀결되어 조금 변화된 VP를 느낄수있다. 그 와중에 코어는 전혀 흔들리지 않고 너무나 탄탄한 장르의 전형을 보여주는 뛰어난 앨범이다. 이들 특유의 늘어짐이 가끔은 지루하기도 하지만, 이정도 내공에 이정도 앨범을 찍어내는 이들은 결코 없으므로, 이제 당연히 명예의 전당에 입성해야 한다.   May 10, 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.   May 7, 2024

The Empyrean Equation of the long lost Things
level 9 Iconoclast   90/100
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   May 8, 2024

Hybrid Theory
preview  Linkin Park preview  Hybrid Theory (2000)
level 15 Stradivarius   85/100
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

level 13 metalnrock   75/100
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.   May 8, 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

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
