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

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

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

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

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

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
Cosmicism 95/100
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

Good album overall. In terms of black metal it's not amazing but it definitely feels good. Where this album excels for me is hearing the folk aspect from these Romanian guys. Apr 4, 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

Thank you Metal Kingdom for informing me about great albums like this. I'll have to check out their other work. Also, I'm not surprised to find out Vvildr was in this band considering how post and how high quality this is. Apr 3, 2022

This album has some really great moments, and nothing bad. Good thing he's been celebrating death since 1992. Apr 3, 2022

His first album, but still great! Afghanistani music works very well with black metal. Apr 3, 2022

I'm not so into the way vocals are approached on this album. They have better albums. Apr 3, 2022

Not really what I look for stylistically, but somewhat well done. To me it feels like Cradle of Filth but with a more serious vibe. Definitely heavy music. Mar 31, 2022

This album brings you to weird metaphysical and fantastical places with gothic feeling symphonics and the metal gets you in a real groove. Black metal and death metal blend well here too. Mar 31, 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 lead guitar cries and shrieks in the most melancholic ways. Some parts sound a little like classic rock. Maybe that's what some guys want to never hear, but I love it on this album. Mar 29, 2022

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

Harlequin 90/100
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

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

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
