Animosity
preview  Sevendust preview  Animosity (2001)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
For the first half of the album I felt like Praise was the only excellent song, but for the last 5 or so songs I felt a lot more power. Angel's Son is a really emotional song with real energy even though it's a ballad. This means a lot to me because most of the time with metal and rock the ballad has a loose weak composition, like it's hard to find the right timing to make it good if it's on the slower end. Angel's Son doesn't fall into that trap.   May 22, 2022
Night of the Desecration
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
They have a nice evil and dangerous classic black metal sound. You could depend on this kind of sound for an enjoyable album for black metal fans like me, but Wampyrinacht adds in some classic heavy metal and infuses it with a general gothic feel, and then it gets really mournful and foreboding as well. Totally well-rounded album.   May 22, 2022
Unlock the Shrine
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
I really respect this artist. I find extremely moving music in about the first half of this album, but the 2nd half didn't make me feel it as much, though the album sounds well played throughout.   May 22, 2022

High quality all the way. I guess I don't enjoy it as much as The Mantle by Agalloch, but they have something in common. I'm listening to good metal, then at some point it changed to folk without me noticing because I'm still enjoying it.   May 20, 2022

I really enjoyed it, and Ozzy is on fire. I feel a mix of styles from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Volume 4. Also, I was totally surprised to hear straight up thrash riffs in the middle of the album.   May 20, 2022

level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
These are some serious musicians. I felt a bit confused about how to enjoy this record, with some soft rock and poppy parts, and then it comes in with heavy very progressive playing. There's nothing harsh though. Also, I wish the singer wouldn't swear; it just feels out of place. Let Trent Reznor and Zack De la Rocha do the swearing. Overall very impressive, but I don't enjoy it like some other progressive metal.   May 20, 2022

I liked home a lot, and this is just as good but even heavier. I was surprised. Some tracks have some NIN-sounding industrial stuff tacked on before the song begins. Yes it was 1997, but that was totally unnecessary. Maybe some studio executive's fault. Anyway, awesome album.   May 20, 2022
Medievalgeist
preview  Vaamatar preview  Medievalgeist (2022)

Some cosmic sounds in the beginning and some ambient as a bed later, but it's very classic Mayhem-sounding music. Awesome driving beats and and every song is full of feeling.   May 20, 2022

Good black metal, a little deathy on some songs. I love the theme.   May 20, 2022
Disharmonium - Undreamable Abysses
level 15 Cosmicism   100/100
Terrifying and so full of textures and layers of dark atmosphere, perfect for the eldritch horrors it's themed on. I expected a lot from these masters: they helped create atmospheric black metal and now they give me a pleasant surprise by creating a somewhat new take on the sub-sub-genre. A contender for album of the year for sure.   May 20, 2022

Very nice incorporation of symphonic elements. I found myself wishing for the vocals not to come as often. Maybe that's just me. Nice head-bopping parts, and elsewhere some hugely dramatic climaxes.   May 19, 2022

Some very good moments composition-wise, and the singer has a cool spacious reverb on his voice. Another good album from a dependable band.   May 19, 2022

Very heavy guitar fuzz and heroic-sounding songs, and when not heroic, it gets kinda melancholic. Full of feeling, and it's a nice long album.   May 19, 2022

Really good variety on this one. Lots of super atmospheric mid-tempo, and there's some thrash in there. I find very epic feels in a lot of the songs too. Good music and good recording.   May 19, 2022
Die Kraft der Szenarien
preview  Horn preview  Die Kraft der Szenarien (2006)
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
For me, the album gets good here and there with a pagan type of groove and cool guitar sound like usual, but I don't find most of this album as emotional as Horn's other work.   May 19, 2022
Circus of Doom

It's a very good album, and I appreciate and respect how the album title is the musical theme, not just a concept for the songs and album. I find some of the songs good and some of them great, though the vocals are always mind-blowing. Eye of the Storm is pure gold and definitely in the running for song of the year.   May 19, 2022

Blood & Stone
preview  Sevendust preview  Blood & Stone (2020)
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
Mostly good songs, but a couple of uninspired ones, and a few clichéd lyrics. Nothing so weak that it offends my senses, but I found the drumming kinda corny a couple of times. The singer really kills it for most songs, and their Soundgarden cover is really impressive; I didn't think anyone else could do it that well.   May 19, 2022

Full of adrenaline and beauty. The singer is so high level and passionate, and all instruments are so precise. A+ for chunky bass, stuttering rhythms, and amazing guest appearances. No weak parts. Totally pleased, and will listen again.   May 19, 2022
Night
preview  Schzvoid preview  Night (2022)  [EP]
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Very melancholic. The first track shares something in common with Hermit, though I know that's also a rather unknown artist. Night is a very slowly building EP. The first track is super raw atmospheric (cosmic) black metal, and the 2nd track is more dark ambient, bringing the night air into your ears. I really chilled out to this.   May 19, 2022

The album cover looked so cool I was hoping for a sound to match. Good news, this is powerful music. It's black metal that reaches into heavy metal territory too. The guitar sound is fantastic.   May 19, 2022
Doomed Before Time
preview  Scitalis preview  Doomed Before Time (2022)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Very harsh and bracing classic black metal, but it manages a very lush sense of drama and it strikes some melancholic and tragic tones with the lead guitar at some points. High quality and heavy.   May 19, 2022
Weapons of Mass Destruction
level 15 Cosmicism   60/100
I can't get into this album. I guess some people can, so I don't give it a 40, but I had major trouble taking this music seriously. The songs are super short and I have trouble finding any differences between them. I find the vocals ridiculous.   May 19, 2022
Noitazimota
preview  Atomization preview  Noitazimota (2022)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
I came into this one expecting not to like it, because it says goregrind, but I had a nice surprise. It was kinda close to my preferences, I guess because it's part black metal. It has moody whispery vocals and some krinkly breaking glass sounds here and there, and an occasional siren too. I still don't quite understand cybergrind yet, but I'm sure I like this one album.   May 19, 2022
Existence Is Futile
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
The quality in all aspects of this album is very good, and I was surprised because I'd never listened to a whole album by them before. Of course Cradle of Filth has a not-so-serious vibe. As long as you're OK with that I highly recommend this one. Thank you so much to the cover artist for referencing Hieronymus Bosch. It needs to be said that the title is a pop cultural refrence to Star Trek, and Hellraiser makes an appearance too. A+ for nerdiness.   May 17, 2022

신화 속 폭력적인 이면에 대한 감정적 해석의 전달. 에픽한 소재들을 다루면서도 그것에 매몰되어 주객이 전도되지 않게끔 느낌과 표현에 철저히 집중한 듯하며, 그런 면모가 감정적이되 냉철하게 와닿는다.   Oct 31, 2024

Handle With Care

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

level 10 sierrahotel   80/100
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

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

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
