There's some great singing on this album, and it sounds like rather accomplished musicians. The compositions aren't so compelling for me, so I can't give it over 80.   Jun 1, 2022

So many new albums are so good for me this month. With this one, I thought I was giving death metal a try, but this album is pretty blackened. We should probably call it a straight up blackened death metal album. The instrumentation sounds great, and it has great moods and a grandiose style. Eternal hails to these veterans.   Jun 1, 2022

A nice long album from an artist I've never heard of before. It gets really heavy, a little soft, totally melancholic sometimes, then a little doom-laden and depresseive, and then real nature-loving like Elderwind. The variety makes this one really notable.   May 31, 2022

I like it a lot more than I thought I was going to. Very nice dark feelings here with emotions coming through clearly and atmosphere blowing at full blast. The only negative thing I could possibly say is that I'm not crazy about the album cover. After six years they produce the counterpoint to Absence, and the result is that they've improved nicely.   May 31, 2022

I really liked it. Also, it's pretty much on the atmospheric side of things, and I heard that their music usually isn't like that. Even though atmospheric is what I lean toward, I'm gonna check out their other releases because of the quality songwriting and tight playing on I utakt med verden.   May 31, 2022

I can feel this music deep in my heart. In style, similar to Ethereal Shroud and Sadness. In my opinion those are some difficult bands to equal, but also great sources of inspiration. Very lo-fi and DIY. A little crackle made it onto the recording in a couple of parts, but very good music. The album is 'Melancholia' in the Cyrillic alphabet.   May 30, 2022

I love this one. There's a lot of metal, and all kinds of music, that gets really sentimental and makes you feel kinda embarrassed to listen to around certain company. Bands like Tesseract manage to get really sentimental without the cringiness. Also, I can tell by listening to this that Tesseract only considers a song as the final version if it truly works. I wish all bands would try to do the same.   May 29, 2022

Very enjoyable, and the drums do all kinds of things, from complicated to lots of stamina, and of course the classic blackened banging monkey. Good new artists coming out all the time.   May 27, 2022

Yes this gets insanely busy and full of mind-warping progressive guitar-work and rhythms. I guess it's what we all come to progressive metal artists for. The song-writing could be a little better. When the singing comes in, there's just too much of it for too long. The singer has vocal skill, but I think they didn't put in enough breaks. When there's no singing, I enjoy it more.   May 27, 2022

Big and ambitious like usual for these guys. There're tons of great music on this album. I fell especially in love with The Alien, and regularly played the music video for it before heading to bed for the last third of 2021. Very impressive and very replayable.   May 26, 2022

Post black metal gets dismissed by some metalheads, but they'll probably like this if they just try it. It's nice and vigorous through and through, and really heavy most of the time. This is also melancholic in style. Really rich sound and lots of feeling.   May 26, 2022

Very blackened and, like usual for Battle Dagorath, kinda in Evil Feast, Paysage d'Hiver, Darkspace territory, but a more classic heavy metal feel comes through a couple times for me. This is a consistently good band that deserves more attention.   May 26, 2022

'III I' was a little more powerful for me, but this album grabs your soul and flies it through dark matter and higgs bosons until you're not made of Euclidean angles anymore.   May 26, 2022

The stygian organ at the beginning made me feel like this was gonna be some of the most powerful black metal ever. It fell a little short of that, but I guess I jumped to conclusions. I shouldn't be disappointed; it's really good, and the singer is a powerhouse.   May 26, 2022

Nice for setting the mood. I think it's cool that they focus on their local mythological pantheon for the meaning in their music.   May 26, 2022

First I listened to his 2022 album, and I'm impressed at how good this earlier one is, when even now this is a very new project. Yes it sounds kinda DIY, but sometimes I'm in the mood for that anyway. Sometimes getting a little blackgazey, and intriguing throughout. Starer has grown and experimented very well.   May 26, 2022

I've heard this band name somewhere, and now I'm so happy to find that their music is my favorite style. This one is so frightening and mysterious, and it has this unique sound that makes it distinguishable from other scary black metal. When I hear this I sense unknown dangers in deep caverns in remote regions. Definitely gonna try more from Akhlys.   May 26, 2022

Simply brilliant album. I started feeling hypnotized after the first couple of songs. Then with the later songs I was full of adrenaline. Getting a little pagan and then getting a little folky adds some nice variety. My favorite song is The Price of Freedom, but the whole album rocks as hard as anything.   May 26, 2022

I think Epica used all their years of experience to finally make the music even more powerful than ever. Also, listening to these studio recordings, it even feels kind of live. I think they were really on fire when playing them for the album, like they were truly excited to be playing these songs. The whole album just astounds me.   May 26, 2022

Already one of my favorite bands, these guys surprised me by finding new stylistic ground on this album. Like with Ænima, it took me a while to figure out how to feel what's happening in these songs, but when I got used to them I just started loving them more and more, taking 4 years to reach the top.   May 26, 2022

I used to play this cassette almost every night. Sometimes I fell asleep after a song or 2, sometimes I played the whole thing then flipped it back to Side A to hear it again. I had visions of the universe and started figuring out how I see the universe. The music from lyrics to time signatures to guitar textures, everything on this one is hugely powerful in delivering meaning. I truly love this album.   May 26, 2022

I love how they manage to shift from sub-genre of metal to sub-genre until the album has almost every kind of metal that has ever existed. It's like if they learn to play anything, they can instantly switch it to any type of music, yet it still feels natural.   May 24, 2022

Delightfully sinister. It's really obvious when the artist has a strong vision for what they want to sound like.   May 24, 2022

Even better than Einsamer Winterweg. This album gets kind of post for a few movements, but lets not make an elephant in the room of the 2-ton depressive black metal on this album. Also some atmosphere in there, it's like the band was planning for me in particular to love it.   May 24, 2022

Man these albums that look run of the mill sometimes are just so well composed, inventive, and played with the right timing to create the passion and tension. This album turned a bright and sunny morning into something more my style.   May 24, 2022

Well if it's gonna be at the top of this year's charts for so long, I just have to listen to it, right? It happens that I had a great complicated progressive time, especially when it got rather djent. Some like it more than me, but it's definitely good.   May 24, 2022

This EP starts out really depressive and shifts to melancholic as the tracks progress. Good music.   May 23, 2022

Catchy and groovy black metal riffs on an album with minimalist leanings. Extremely gratifying.   May 23, 2022

Fuzzy and sludgy, this is that awesome slow and medium-paced black metal that you feel throughout your whole body. Great for a first release. Spooky and reminiscent of a silent forest clearing when you think of all the life and death that created that scene. Field recordings A+ I just want it to never end, played 4 times late one evening.   May 22, 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
