Between the Worlds
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Great starting with his first album. Even though harsh vocals are not my reason for listening to metal, Ash's style feels just right to me, definitely one of my favorites. This album has wonderfully somber emotions.   Apr 11, 2022
Where the Word Acquires Eternity
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Good stuff here for sure. At some points I get Drudkh vibes. Also, track 3 sounds like Distant Dream - talk about variety with the genres. .... and note to self - not all album covers that look like this are Katatonia.   Apr 10, 2022

OK, that last 19-minute track is all piano and rainfall and stuff, so just bare that in mind if you don't want to hear something like that. The first 3 songs are so awesome it makes me say 'yes, this is why I fell in love with atmospheric black metal.' Those 3 are absolute must-listens. What a great artist.   Apr 10, 2022

It might start off a little soft, but he's just setting you up for surprises. Definitely metal. I know some people associate bad things with the word 'post', but they'd be served better by just giving this good album a chance without thinking of genres.   Apr 10, 2022

A Fleur De Peau - III - A Fire That Does Not Burn

Great atmospheric, and depressive and melancholic black metal album. It has some clean vocals. While it's also as heavy as anything out there, this music is also soothing for your heart in a cathartic sort of way.   Apr 10, 2022

The Final Sorrow
level 15 Cosmicism   100/100
One of the best of 2022 so far. It's super atmospheric, also super heavy. The drums are pretty amazing. Somebody on the YouTube album stream comments is claiming to be the session drummer for this album. Hats off to him Let's remember this frigid album when the hottest days of summer come.   Apr 9, 2022

I find the medieval parts aren't played with enough bounciness. The metal parts are good, but there aren't many of them. I'd much rather listen to one of his straight up metal albums, or once in a while one of his purely symphonic ones.   Apr 9, 2022

This album kept me in good spirits through a tough day. Funny how that worked, cuz it's full of despair. Actually, a good amount of it sounds like Severoth, which is one of my favorite artists ever so I can't blame Déhà. There's great atmospheric black metal on this, and some post-black metal too, but not that much, so it stays super heavy. Also, there's whistling. Anyway, definitely gonna check out more of his albums.   Apr 9, 2022

Amazing how great this album is, and even more amazing if compared to what other early rock artists are releasing these days. I was laughing and smiling and bouncing to the music for the whole album. Drunk and in Love is pure genius, and everything else is brilliant too.   Apr 7, 2022

A good album, and it's just Ancient Wisdom's first. Some parts feel depressive. I wonder if this is one of the early inspirations for the depressive style.   Apr 7, 2022
Biolume Part 1 - In Tartarean Chains
level 15 Cosmicism   100/100
I don't even know what these feelings are that I got from listening to this. After listening for an hour and 10 minutes, it's like I was on a hundred-year adventure. It's definitely black metal on this one (different from Part 2) but the style and voice are so original you won't hear this anywhere else.   Apr 7, 2022

This is a thoroughly good atmospheric black metal album with varying degrees of melancholic and post metal blended in. The Narrow Path stands out for me as one of the best songs of 2021 across all metal and rock. Luckily for me, they shot a very nice and DIY-feeling video for this song. Hail Chile.   Apr 5, 2022
All That Has Never Been True

This is an atmospheric black metal album with a definite vision for it's particular sound and very good execution. It gets deep into bleakness and stays fuzzy and distorted.   Apr 5, 2022

There's a lot of beauty on this album. Maybe it's weird to think, but this could even work as a heavy opera. I love how Ancient Wisdom has his own style and voice. Awesome music here.   Apr 5, 2022

I really love this one. Vargher's symphonic element gets deep into my mind. After the album ends, I want those sounds to come back promptly. Full of dark and terrifying elements, but also beautiful positivity. Great album.   Apr 4, 2022

Some straight up guitar heroics on this album. Also, it's totally doom here and there, and at some moments a nice blend of atmospheric black metal and doom. Symphonic sounding keyboards are soaring. All these aspects are done very well - a real pleasure.   Apr 4, 2022

2021 was insane for black metal. Let's frame this in a positive way. Noktvrn was a really good album. Also, there were many other really good albums like it that came out the same year. All those albums are friends hanging around together on a couch eating pistachios. Also, these guys are real pros - expertly played.   Mar 30, 2022

The Scars of Man on the Once Nameless Wilderness I and II
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
This has some of his best black metal ever. The 2nd half is mostly country and folk. I don't love the 2nd half, but at least it's a style of country I can get behind. Maybe kind of like Tom Waits, but doesn't have his intensity and liveliness. Even for a metal guy like me, the 2nd half is worth a listen, and the first half is worth a million listens.   Mar 29, 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

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
