Songs of Blood and Mire
level 15 Cosmicism   100/100
Huge disappointment from Spectral Wound; only 7 of these songs are AOtY tier. A succinct album, and I wasn't expecting it to lean so much toward the punk side. Album title and track titles are perfect. Kudos to this diabolic horde.   Aug 24, 2024

This album takes a while to get going. It shows a good sense of melancholy and evil. A great full-length for Dimmu Borgir to start with.   Aug 23, 2024

Atmospheric BM with extremely catchy riffs and head-bopping rhythms. Apparently their other music has some doom in it. I'll have to see if it's as good as this enjoyable album.   Aug 23, 2024

It really helps me to be open to any sub-genre. Brutal death metal is not much of a 'me' style but everything here is just fantastic. Jamey Jasta bringing the hardcore punk vocals to the duet with brutal deathgrowls was very energizing. The playing feels tight and the songs are unmistakably motivated by genuine feeling. A huge treat.   Aug 22, 2024

Some people will say this is powerviolence / not a metal genre, but this is craazzzyyy heavy. I found the songs more focused & powerful than their 2010 album. These guys were definitely in the moment. Great music.   Aug 22, 2024

There's a lot of focus on atmosphere but a few catchy vocal melodies & riffs help too. The first track feels like Neue Deutsche Härte to me, but tracks 6 & 12 were my favorites. A solid first album by 3Teeth.   Aug 20, 2024

An awesome ocean of distortion like I expected. I didn't find the 3rd track to work as well as the rest of the EP, so I can't rate it way up in the clouds like I did for Grandeur of Hair. Anyway, this was soothing and packed with energizing vibes - great to hear before finally getting sleepy last night.   Aug 18, 2024

The vocals are bad and the lyrics are immature for a 13-year-old. The guitarwork gets a little fun here & there but none of the songs amount to much. Pretty bad.   Aug 18, 2024

I'm having a bit of trouble coming to terms with how much I like this EP considering it's basically a bunch of unreleased tracks except the last 2 which are already-released remastered tracks. There is better production since the self-titled EP. Anyway, the sinister moods, soaring melodies, and vast atmospheres work so well together. Great work by a boiling hot artist of the 2020s.   Aug 16, 2024
The Long Path to Nowhere
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
This one is pretty similar to Plague, my favorite from Nebula Orionis, and especially so in track 2. Despite the fact that there's no black metal besides a few backgrounded vocals here & there, there's still a very strong Lustre influence. Good / not great, but I like this slightly more than his blackgaze album Sorrow from 2023.   Aug 16, 2024

I find myself skipping the slow intros. They got carried away putting too many of those moments in this album, making it longer than it needed to be. Other than that, it's easy to hear it's pretty good. Medium enjoyable for me.   Aug 16, 2024
Klagelieder

Good black metal with both first wave and second wave feelings. I'd give it a higher rating if itdidn't quiet down in the middle of a song so often - it loses some momentum because of that. I'll still recommend it - worthy of that attractive cover.   Aug 15, 2024

level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
A pretty good album with some real highlights like the highly addictive prechorus to track 2. Unfortunately, a bunch of the songs are really mediocre and don't amount to much. The better moments make great use of nu metal fun, and the best moments show some nice Mike Patton influence.   Aug 12, 2024
Necrovision
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
A great example of how black metal can sound like the darkest night sky. The vocal tone is so croaky that it's almost unlistenable, which produces very satisfying results. The drumming and riffs are magnificent. I really loved it with all of my blackened heart. Thanks to BMP for promoting awareness of this dynamite band.   Aug 12, 2024
The Battle of Los Angeles
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
Glad I've finally heard the whole thing because some very bright spots were new to me. Some of the songs alternate between very dynamic melodies and weaker parts that feel stuck in a rut and repeat too much. Of course this doesn't compare to their first album, but it's still good to give it a try.   Aug 6, 2024

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

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.   2 days ago

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

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
