A bit better than Plaguewielder, Ravishing Grimness, & The Cult is Alive. Tracks 2 & 6 are really wonderful. A lot of interesting moments throughout and tons of dank feels from a particularly nasty chainsaw of a guitar sound.   Dec 9, 2024

Finally giving Kanonenfieber a try, and I find it's rather good, but I gather a lot of metalheads like it a ton more than I do. Also, fantastic cover art.   Dec 9, 2024

Good debut for Borknagar with some very nice moments.   Dec 9, 2024

Good pagan feelings and the instrumentation sounds tight.   Dec 6, 2024

Pretty good power metal songs. Some of the vocal techniques might be a turnoff for some of us. Maybe this music is for when you're ready to embrace the weirdness on the vocal side.   Dec 6, 2024

This Defeated Sanity album is really extreme, and sometimes jazzy.   Dec 6, 2024

My pick of the day yesterday. The drumming is amazing, the songs are beautiful, and I'm betting they're crazy challenging to play. Awesome music from a band that is refreshingly playful in their themes and how they present their work.   Dec 6, 2024

Trying a band I don't know from New Wave of Old School Thrash Metal youtube channel often ends up kind of mid-tier. Not this time, I really loved these infectious songs. My pick of the day.   Dec 6, 2024

No bad songs and quite a few good ones. At times the vocals don't quite work for me but in some parts they're fine. The sound is thick and harsh in a great way. Track 10 was particularly exciting.   Dec 4, 2024

I had a great time with this filthy & clobbering death metal album.   Dec 4, 2024

Pretty fun rap & nu metal on this one. I found the songs on Broke just a little stronger. However, I have to admit the clever lyrics on this one had me cracking a smile a few times.   Dec 4, 2024

This is extremely rough around the edges. The clean vocals get quite irritating for me at times, but the screaming and rapping are a bit better. I have very mixed feelings, but they did capture a certain energy and vibe here, so it's an all right experience overall.   Dec 4, 2024

Hard to make it through this bad album with it's simple-minded yet also pretentious lyrics. The guitar sound is often pretty good and a couple of songs were fine. About half of the breakdowns felt so phony. The toughguy posturing is embarassing too. Bad release.   Dec 4, 2024

What a great album, and 100% of these members are no longer in the band. Clearly they had the musical chops and a songwriter's mentality. So many top-tier tracks, it's hard to choose favorites... about half of the album.   Dec 4, 2024

First off, I love the Garbage Pale Kids reminiscent cover art. Also, what comes through clearly is how the members are really excited to be collaborating. All the songs are great and 100% genuine.   Dec 4, 2024

Despite what a lot of us think about nu metal, Memorrhage loads his songs with great musical ideas and really vibrant energy while working in the sub-genre. Another good album by him.   Dec 4, 2024

I find a lot of the songs have a great chorus and a so-so verse or the other way around. It doesn't rival their legendary albums, but I was pleasantly surprised it was good overall and the more industrial focus worked out OK.   Dec 4, 2024

The atmospheric synths on track 5 just blew my mind, and I'm someone who listens to a ton of BM with synth. Great black metal here with all the right influences.   Dec 4, 2024

Thrash influence is little or nothing here, so I didn't get what I expect. It's mostly melodeath with some groove metal too. For me, just a little good.   Dec 4, 2024

This awesome album made a big impression on me this weekend. Great punky rhythms and BM evil. There's a bit of dunkelheiting worked into one of the crustiest parts and these work together magnificently. Definitely an artist to keep on my radar.   Dec 2, 2024

Cool music by an artist who has been very busy lately.   Dec 2, 2024

I liked the mood of this ambient album, and it makes good use of noise.   Dec 2, 2024

Good album with impressive drums. The vocals are maybe the weakest element.   Dec 2, 2024

Very nice music, and the guest vocalists really add a lot.   Dec 2, 2024

Somewhat different from their 2022 album, but it's still great. I was really looking forward to this. Thank you Pestilent Hex.   Dec 2, 2024

Some good sad feelings here.   Dec 2, 2024

For me, slightly enjoyable. Also, the style is quite different from their other work.   Dec 2, 2024

Gorgeous melodies on this one as in their debut. Overall it's not as great as the first, but still good enough for frequent listens. The singer's vocals are always in perfect taste, which is something almost no one else can boast. On top of that, the sound of his voice often really moves me. Thank you Fellowship.   Dec 2, 2024

Pretty good cover of a classic song. I don't quite need to hear covers of this song, but I imagine it was an immense pleasure for them to play such a powerful composition.   Dec 2, 2024

게임 매드무비에 넣을 곡이 더 생겼다 밴드 연주 작살난다 보컬리스트가 러셀 엘런같이 노래 개 잘한다 빠른 멜로디인데도 노래를 단단하고 웅장하게 잘 부른다. 있어야 할게 다 있는 파워 메탈의 정석   Mar 15, 2025

언제 들어도 좋은 심포닉 파워 메탈계의 명반   Mar 13, 2025

아무래도 이 1집에서는 많은 이들이 Sweet Child o' Mine을 꼽겠지만, 내게 있어서 이 앨범 최고의 곡은 절대적으로 Nightrain이다. 밴드의 정체성, 색깔, 연주력 등을 한 번에 대변해주는 곡이랄까. 심지어 가사까지 말이다. 같이 늙어간다는 말이 어울리겠지만, 그때의 열정 속에서 Nightrain을 외치고 연주를 하던 그들의 모습은 정말로 젊음의 영웅이자 양아치였다.   Mar 19, 2025

다시 살아난 폼은 떨어질 줄 모르고, 진짜 좋은데.. 정말 좋은데.. 짙게 드리운 어둠이라기에는 너무 명징하다. 컨셉에 맞는 분위기와 강약 조절을 좀만 더 했다면 명반 반열로 올라가는건데, 듣기 좋아서 더욱 그 한끝이 아쉽다.   Mar 30, 2025

I'm pretty sure this is the best debut in history. Sonata Arctica immediately does what they do best and the result is amazing. "FullMoon" is a great song.   Mar 11, 2025

Great album but not at the level of the debut in my opinion. The band tries a bit of progressive direction with pretty good results, although some songs are quite weak. The end of the album is great. Good job Sonata!   Mar 11, 2025

DT caught my attention with their previous album and this one confirms my thoughts on them. I´m not so fond of their old stuffs but these 2 keep me on my feet and I will go back to them regularly.   Mar 12, 2025

Awesome album one of my favourite thrash albums.   Mar 30, 2025

모던 파워 메탈 특유의 대중지향적이고 댄서블한 면이 분명 있으나 선을 넘어버린 다른 밴드 만큼 과하지 않고 적당하다. 앨범 후반부가 좀 아쉽긴 하지만, 그래도 이들의 앨범 중에선 이 앨범이 가장 마음에 듦.   4 days ago

Wintersun combines about 10 different genres with great success on this album. A perfect album, in the top 20 of all time.   4 days ago

Like "Silence", only 1000 times better. The band's absolute best album. Not all the songs are masterpieces, but the best ones are incredible and the atmosphere of the album is epic.   Mar 11, 2025

그 나이에 이게 데뷔앨범 이라는게 믿기지 않는다...다만 이때 모든 힘을 쏟은 것일까...ㅠ   Mar 12, 2025

모든 사운드가 사악하다.   Mar 12, 2025

Probably Judas Priest's most commercially successful album, and it's extremely good. The song material is brilliant, and if we forget the existence of "Pain And Pleasure" and "Fever", it's perfect. The "Hellion/Electric Eye" duo is still one of the greatest opening tracks in metal history. The production is tuned to exactly the level that a band of this class should have. And then there's Rob Halford. Absolutely phenomenal, a top-3 Priest album for me.   Mar 13, 2025

이시기에 나온 데스메탈 앨범들을 생각해보면 이들은 진짜 못해도 혼자서 20년을 넘게 앞서갔다.   Mar 13, 2025

90-95 이미 3집부터 이들의 음악은 헤비하고 꽤 프로그레시브의 주제의식을 가진 앨범들로 발전해갔다. 앨범커버는 dc 코믹스와 마블에서 유명한 Ethan Van Sciver의 그림이라고 한다. 일본반은 2번의 어쿠스틱 버전이 더 들어가 있다. 윙어의 진가는 이미 전작부터 보여줬고 깊이 있는 음악을 보여주는 것이 딱 내가 원하는 그런 밴드이다.   Mar 13, 2025

슬로바키아의 세풀투라. 89점.   Mar 13, 2025

Rainbow leaves classic hard rock behind with their second album and begins to create the beginnings of the genre that would later be called power metal. The song material is practically perfect and the album features perhaps the strongest band line-up in history. The last two songs are pure masterpieces. If melodic old-school heavy metal with incredible vocal performances interests you, now you know where to look. Legendary!   Mar 15, 2025

Excellant Amorphis album.   Mar 15, 2025
