It didn't sound like I imagined, but I still liked it. The clean vocals are very interesting. They don't have the vibrato and bravado and reverberation and other features I would call great singing, but these songs have these intense good vibes and charisma. It overall sounds like very recent metal, but the solos take it back to the 80s or even the 70s. Totally clear here that these guys play exactly what they love.   Jun 7, 2022

2 great songs that switch between very different genres and styles, and the White Ward members know how to make these switches feel natural.   Jun 7, 2022

In the beginning, I started having feelings that it was going to be boring. I'm really glad I stuck with it though. It builds the tension and I felt like I got a special benefit from listening to some kinda empty trudging parts. In the end not fantastic in my opinion, but good enough to make me thankful I listened to the whole thing.   Jun 7, 2022

This sounds like driving through pitch black wide open country with sunglasses on.   Jun 7, 2022

I'm in pure bliss when these textures are so thick on very moving songs.   Jun 7, 2022

Great power metal by Visigoth, and woah, the singing. Conqueror's oath is even a little better than this, but no way can I give this one anything under 90.   Jun 6, 2022

Usually stoner and psychedelic rock or metal just bring me straight into outer space. This left me feeling not much at all.   Jun 6, 2022

This album is a constant 32 minutes of "wow' and "what the heck is that?" (in a good way).   Jun 6, 2022

This music really fills me with energy. First when I heard this a couple of years ago, I thought it wasn't as good as Hellscape. Now listening to it, it's obviously extremely close to that level of songwriting. A very dependable one-man-band.   Jun 6, 2022

Right from the start with such good music. I listen to Andromida quite often, and it's great to hear how awesome and full of djent bubbles his first EP is.   Jun 6, 2022

It has some good moments but something detracts from my enjoyment. There are some voiceovers that give the album a plot to match the cover artwork, and I find the acting not so great. I like the Celtic sounding fiddle at the end. I think definitely good but nowhere near great.   Jun 6, 2022

It's a little too death metal for me, giving me the cookie monster feeling a little, so I'm trying to be fair. The guitar work and composition are good, and it has some nice atmosphere as well. Mostly, I gave it a listen for the Djent, and I'm glad I did. I'll say if Deathcore is your thing, you might like it the same or even more than me.   Jun 6, 2022

I really like the drumming on this one, his style and the way it was recorded. Overall it's nice music but I don't get into it too much. I'm not a big fan of deathcore, so I'm pleasantly surprised this is good. Two Towers stands out for me as a beautiful song.   Jun 4, 2022

Experimental indeed. This is the weirdest most unorthodox metal album I can recall hearing. In terms of raw power and enjoyability, I might rank it kind of lower, but the imagination and all the uniqueness really put a big smile on my face. I won't describe the sound in detail here because I'd probably write 5,000 words or so. Just listen to it.   Jun 4, 2022

I can't really enjoy this one. Too much stopping and starting. It's like a Severoth song stretched out for 128 minutes with lots of silence. Maybe I should've expected background ambient music, but that's not something I like anyway. There are little bits of dungeon synth, and even fewer blasts of black metal. Not for me.   Jun 4, 2022

All played so perfectly. It doesn't excite me as much as some of their other albums, but I definitely love the band.   Jun 4, 2022

Tons of energy on this album, and I love the Ministry style, samples and all. I know some don't but it really brings me to an industrial happy place.   Jun 4, 2022

I like it. I feel its a little similar to doom for most songs. Also, a very nice kind of lo-fi sound. Some compositions are great and evocative, like Nothing. Some songs are just OK. Nothing's bad. Also, so far this year so much of the black metal is from Germany.   Jun 3, 2022

Unique guitar sound, nice mixing in of elements usually not in black metal... snapping fingers, it's enjoyable. I appreciate bands thinking outside of the box like this. I can't pinpoint where anything could be better, the score here is just about level of enjoyment, which was very good. Please keep playing and recording.   Jun 3, 2022

After more than 3 decades they are creating some of their best music. That's not only rare, but also beautiful and inspiring. Every song on this album is great to my ears.   Jun 3, 2022

Here's a full album with only good songs. I don't find any song in particular to be great. Also, some of the lyrics felt kinda funny to me, especially on track 1 with the call and response.   Jun 3, 2022

Thank you Questy for recommending this one. Some Drudkh influence here, and for guys like me, that 's already a must-listen. Like Drudkh, this is thoroughly harsh while decidedly prioritizing the atmosphere, but feels a little folk too. A lot of the best USA black metal these days is very unorthodox. Same here, but don't misunderstand; it's 100% black metal. Also, the rhythmic variety keeps it fresh, start to finish. Overall, gigantic, cathartic, and full of adrenaline.   Jun 3, 2022

Wow. So great and so consistent from start to finish. I can't say any song on Sovran equals Death, Come Near Me, but they're all close to it, and they equal each other. Their vocalist changed and their commitment to great music did not change.   Jun 3, 2022

So much is so excellent on this album; lyrics, instrumentation, songwriting, production values, and both singers. It's just enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. I like some other albums by them more, but I can't find any negative criticism for this one in me.   Jun 3, 2022

I find it really hard to give this album a score because it has some aspects of it are top tier and some are so-so. Of course he's a guitar phenom, but on some tracks all the other instruments are so generic. Some songs feel so commercial and for your grandmother, and those same songs are also kinda stuck in the 80s. The straight up electric blues songs are pure gold, and the third or so of the album is just as good. Everything considered, totally worth a listen.   Jun 3, 2022

Well here's a debut and a new artist to welcome. At 17 minutes, I think this EP establishes that they have a great grasp on the black metal sound, but I would want to hear more variety and a longer release from them before I pass judgement on this duo as an artist. These 4 songs are definitely cool and exciting, but I hope for better still.   Jun 1, 2022

I always called this one "Three Legged Dog". Now I finally know what the whole thing is like, and I'm surprised the quality was so high! I guess I was silly enough to think it wasn't as good as their early 90s releases. It's totally at the same level. Also, Heaven Beside You = absolute masterpiece.   Jun 1, 2022

For me, this is a favorite band coming back to their highest levels of creation. Very powerful songs with a masterful touch in songwriting and super well played.   Jun 1, 2022

After so many years I just heard the whole thing. In the beginning I don't find it very exciting. Then No Excuses the is top-tier song that I've always loved insanely. Overall, a short EP with one masterpiece and a few good and a few so-so songs. Also, props for creating something as bizarre as Whale & Wasp.   Jun 1, 2022

죽어버린 남자다움에 오함마로 심폐소생을 시키는 앨범. 멈췄던 심장이 그들의 리프와 드럼을 따라 다시 뛰기 시작한다.   Nov 1, 2024

스래쉬 음반을 언급할 때 항상 다섯 손가락 안에 꼽는 앨범...모든 곡이 베스트일 정도로 완벽하다. 개인적으로 Stronger Than Hate을 가장 좋아한다.   Nov 6, 2024

85-90, 예전에 빽판으로 즐기던 음반. 운이 좋게 다시 시디로 구입하게 들어보게 되었다. 지금 이 시점에서는 좋게 들렸고 시원시원했다. 녹음은 거칠긴 하나 가끔 너무 갑갑한 믹싱이 되어 있는 메탈음반이 많은데 차라리 이런 식으로 만드는게 낫다 싶다. 1,2집도 언제인가는 구해지지 않을까 생각해본다.   Oct 30, 2024

어쿠스틱 기타, 첼로, 플루트 등을 이용하여 녹음한 어쿠스틱 사운드의 작품이다. 그러나 표현하고자 하는 사운드의 방향성 자체는 무겁고 진지하다. 멜로디가 약간 서늘한 냉기를 품고 있다. 더운 여름에 들으면 시원함을 느낄 수도 있지만 대체로 가을의 분위기에 잘 어울린다. 커버아트와 음악의 매칭이 절묘하다.   Nov 4, 2024

90-95. 이 시기의 블가 앨범들은 다 좋은 듯. hansi의 보컬을 더 느끼고 싶어서 사모으기 시작한 앨범인데 그렇다고 나랑 맞는 음악을 하는 밴드가 아닐 수 있었지만 지금까지 몇번들어본 결과는 만족스러운 행진 중이다. the eldar같은 곡은 지금의 나에게는 최고의 곡. 인트로+본곡 같은 스타일로 중복이 되는데 큰 단점같지는 않다. 조화롭게 잘 넘어갔다.   Nov 8, 2024

95-100 2024년까지 나온 오케스트라와의 협연 음반 모든 것을 통틀어 최고다. 다 어설픈 편곡때문에 그냥 원곡 듣고 말지 라는 생각이 드는 반면 이 음반은 최소 제대로 만들어진 영화음악 하나 들었다 할 정도로 편곡자체가 매우 잘 되어 밴드와 오케스트라가 제대로 융화 예상과 달리 스튜디오로 앨범을 냈지만 dvd 2disc를 사면 라이브 시디가 포함되어 있는 듯 하다.   3 days ago

85- 90 채스틴의 기타가 바삐 움직인다. 당시의 다른 기타리스트와는 다른 맛이 있다. 레더 레온은 참 좋은 보컬같다라고 생각을 또 하게 되었다.   Oct 27, 2024

라센은 일본 빅터에서 받아 동일하게 12번 "Rainy Nights"이 더 들어가 있다. 앙그라 초기는 의외로 많이 듣지 않아 생각보다 익숙하지 않은 면이 있다. 현재는 이 정도 점수를 주고 다음에 또 감상하면서 고쳐보도록 하겠다   Oct 28, 2024

Their most representative album of the eighties, full of innovation and class, with forceful themes and a benchmark in style for the hard rock genre, in fact it is their best-selling work to date! My personal precise rating is (94/100) Faves: Criyng In The Rain and Don´t Turn Away!   Oct 30, 2024

완벽하다. 지금와서 painkiller 정도의 힘을 기대하는 것은 무리지만 관록과 경험으로 영그러진 놀라운 앨범을 냈다. 엔지니어링도 크게 한몫했다.   Oct 31, 2024

옛 모습이 그립다. 그래도 화이팅!   Nov 1, 2024

조금도 기대안했었는데….훌륭합니다!!   Nov 1, 2024

온갖 괴생물체들이 꿈틀거리는듯한 아트워크의 세계관이 펼쳐지며..끈적이는 불협화음 데스 사운드에 빨려든다.   Nov 6, 2024

The album finds Blood Incantation returning to their death metal roots with renewed psychedelic vigour, eager to tear apart familiar metallic ideas   Nov 6, 2024

80-90. 메킹 커멘트를 보고 얼라이브를 베스트 대용으로 해도 된다는 의견에 2,3를 사게 되었는데 1,3에만 rock and roll all nite가 있다는 것을 다시 여기서도 알립니다. 이번에 사게된 앨범이 일본반 shm-cd 규격인데 음질이 나쁜게 아니지만 2보다는 살짝 거친게 아닌가 싶다. 아직까지는 얼라이브 시리즈+일반 스튜디오 베스트 조합으로 끝낼 생각.   Nov 6, 2024

85-90 기본적으로 2010년 이후 이들의 앨범이 특별히 구리다고 생각이 든 적이 없다. 이번 앨범은 기다려도 라센이 안나와서 결국 수입반을 샀다. 전체적인 곡 수준, 연주 수준 모든게 긍정적 방향이다.   Nov 6, 2024

85-95. 5번은 후기 대표곡. 커버한 밴드가 sodom , megadeth, helloween, Jorn 등이 있다. 필 라이엇이 안죽었다면 사이크스가 백사로 과연 넘어갔을까 하는 생각과 씬 리지가 꽤나 터프한 느낌도 갖게 되는 과정이었는데 이 미래가 재미있었겠다 라는 생각이 드는 앨범.   Nov 6, 2024

Very good work on guitars,a tight rhythm sectionand lots of keyboards effects the way only FATES WARNING teached to play !   Nov 7, 2024

훌륭한 데뷰. 1집을 꼭 사야 할까라는 생각으로 살다가 이제야 얻어걸린 느낌으로 사게 되었다. 물론 1집을 필수라고 여기지 않았지만 후회도 없다. 보컬이 멤버들보다 나이가 10여살 많은 걸로 기억하고 게디리의 좀 더 듣기 좋은 버전이라고 생각이 든다. 다만 믹싱이 마음에 들지 않아서 살짝 밋밋하다. 보컬과 드럼이 살짝 뒤로 간 느낌.리믹스가 절실하나 과연?   Nov 7, 2024
