I was feeling good about the instrumentation, which is probably a challenge to play. However, the vocals have this futuristic effect on them, and they feel stuck in a kawaii rut. It definitely drags down the overall score significantly.   Jul 24, 2024

After my disappointment with Orange Goblin, the stoner realm came back with much higher quality when I heard this yesterday. Respect to the Patriarchs for covering Kashmir successfully. On the other hand, none of the original songs on this album are as good as Kashmir, but almost zero songs in the universe are, so no big surprise. All in all, a solid listen.   Jul 21, 2024

A good example of the slam sub-genre, but these guys surely have their own way of doing things. Also, that nightmarish mass murder cover art is well done in conception and execution, so I can view it without transforming into an incel neckbeard. Sigh of relief.   Jul 21, 2024

Bizarre, hard-to-name feelings come through on this very doomy sludge, and then out of nowhere it's more like early Deep Purple. This release is nowhere near the top of 2024, but it's unique and it displays creative thinking, and I think this makes it a rather memorable album.   Jul 21, 2024

I'm glad I recalled my fond memory of their previous release and listened to this one first chance I got. If anything, this is better than the last one. Highly recommended.   Jul 21, 2024

The doom melodies are beautiful & haunting in a Swallow the Sun kind of way, and the harsh vocals are good, but those clean vocals drag the quality down a little, feeling quite awkward.   Jul 21, 2024

All things considered, it's just a bit on the negative side, but with that glorious album cover I felt a huge letdown. The singing is not so good and it just keeps going on autopilot without enough breaks. The tinfoil hat lyrics on track 4 add a bit of pain as well, really contradicting the album title. This record is plain old not for me.   Jul 21, 2024

I needed some underground thrash, and Amebix gave it to me with Motörhead influence, and it all worked out very well.   Jul 21, 2024

Nice surprise. That genre mix had me suspicious, but their music is a lot of fun and it's quite interesting too. The vocals include rapping, screaming, and singing. The female vocalist outshines the male one, but then again the dueling aspect of the vocals is one of the best points. Those sultry female vocals, in particular, make it a memorable album. I also appreciated how track 8 criticizes when youth culture goes maddeningly unintelligent.   Jul 21, 2024

I can get into this one a bit, but not too much. I couldn't shake the feeling that something is missing from a lot of these songs. Overall, still good.   Jul 21, 2024

The ferocity that this music has really surprised me. Yes it gets around to blackgaze moments, and it is atmospheric BM, but it felt like the 1st priority was straight-up evil black metal, and that was an extremely good choice. I'm really impressed with Raat here.   Jul 21, 2024

Very good album by Seth, a veteran group without a doubt.   Jul 21, 2024

I love being in this industrial soundscape and the new wave soundscape toward the end. For me, this is an extremely fun album.   Jul 18, 2024

The vocals are just annoying rambling rumblings, and the sound bites really tested my patience. Not a good example of slam.   Jul 18, 2024

Almost nothing works and a lot of parts are very awkward, especially the drums. The clean singing on track 9 feels half-baked.   Jul 18, 2024

This vicious album starts off very well and quickly gets better & better. I'm not a fan of using the word holocaust just for sounding intense, but oh well that's their choice. No matter what, this is completely brilliant music form start to finish.   Jul 18, 2024

The choice of cover art might mislead you and make you expect some mid-tier music. This man's sense of melody is at a much higher tier. The songs remained in my head in a very nice way. Ortha is now another artist to watch.   Jul 18, 2024

The kind of tragic and melancholic mood that smacks into you like a wall of concrete that came out of nowhere. Great work by great musicians.   Jul 18, 2024

This artist is so intense, and this album's raw intensity and rabid energy might give some people a heart attack. Also note the slightly different genre. This guy is a real force, whatever he does.   Jul 18, 2024

I really don't need vocals to be in all music, but with this album he incorporated vocals and this allowed him to create a very powerful sense of melancholy. The songs are all motivated due to this. Also, the ambient sections are better than the earlier releases. Overall, it's a solid good album and a big step up in quality. Great work, Shadowland.   Jul 18, 2024

Nice textbook atmospheric BM, owing everything to Lustre very obiously. Kind of basic, but not bad at all.   Jul 18, 2024

No metal here, just ambient. It has some nice moments, but it feels too simple and it tested my patience a bit. Absolutely not a terrible listen, but I feel a little negative about it.   Jul 18, 2024

Mostly, the songs go nowhere, and the vocals are worse. In a few moments the guitar melodies would inject some emotion into these songs, but the terrible vocals drain it right back out again - it's just a scratchy voice with no purpose, making everything worse. It's like the album has a giant blank space where the emotion usually goes. It's a big failure.   Jul 18, 2024

The guitars really shine throughout this album. Mark's vocals have good intensity and he projects his voice very well, but I only feel him putting out the power as opposed to conveying emotions, so I think the later singers work a lot better with this kind of music. All in all, pretty good.   Jul 18, 2024

Maybe their weakest album, but I can still get into it a bit.   Jul 18, 2024

Very good dissonant BM. Glad to learn of this unique artist.   Jul 16, 2024

His first full-length is just delectable and very well put together. I mean that even though it's 59 minutes, it feels like a dense & concise much shorter album. Without overthinking it, he tapped into all the major 2nd Wave influences and used all the tactics that made that material work so well. The result is extremely pleasing. Big thanks to Evilfeast for such a strong discography.   Jul 16, 2024

This album has some real musical ideas spread throughout. The early songs that are dissodeath, or at least partly so, excite me the most. There are other good parts, but I don't really get into the last slow song. Overall, I like this album better than their 2013 one.   Jul 16, 2024

I always appreciate these Lovecraftian themes, and this is pretty good death doom. Starspawn of Cthulhu is now officially a band to look into more.   Jul 14, 2024

죽어버린 남자다움에 오함마로 심폐소생을 시키는 앨범. 멈췄던 심장이 그들의 리프와 드럼을 따라 다시 뛰기 시작한다.   Nov 1, 2024

스래쉬 음반을 언급할 때 항상 다섯 손가락 안에 꼽는 앨범...모든 곡이 베스트일 정도로 완벽하다. 개인적으로 Stronger Than Hate을 가장 좋아한다.   Nov 6, 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

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

85- 90 채스틴의 기타가 바삐 움직인다. 당시의 다른 기타리스트와는 다른 맛이 있다. 레더 레온은 참 좋은 보컬같다라고 생각을 또 하게 되었다.   Oct 27, 2024

라센은 일본 빅터에서 받아 동일하게 12번 "Rainy Nights"이 더 들어가 있다. 앙그라 초기는 의외로 많이 듣지 않아 생각보다 익숙하지 않은 면이 있다. 현재는 이 정도 점수를 주고 다음에 또 감상하면서 고쳐보도록 하겠다   Oct 28, 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

옛 모습이 그립다. 그래도 화이팅!   Nov 1, 2024

조금도 기대안했었는데….훌륭합니다!!   Nov 1, 2024

온갖 괴생물체들이 꿈틀거리는듯한 아트워크의 세계관이 펼쳐지며..끈적이는 불협화음 데스 사운드에 빨려든다.   Nov 6, 2024

The album finds Blood Incantation returning to their death metal roots with renewed psychedelic vigour, eager to tear apart familiar metallic ideas   Nov 6, 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

85-90 기본적으로 2010년 이후 이들의 앨범이 특별히 구리다고 생각이 든 적이 없다. 이번 앨범은 기다려도 라센이 안나와서 결국 수입반을 샀다. 전체적인 곡 수준, 연주 수준 모든게 긍정적 방향이다.   Nov 6, 2024

85-95. 5번은 후기 대표곡. 커버한 밴드가 sodom , megadeth, helloween, Jorn 등이 있다. 필 라이엇이 안죽었다면 사이크스가 백사로 과연 넘어갔을까 하는 생각과 씬 리지가 꽤나 터프한 느낌도 갖게 되는 과정이었는데 이 미래가 재미있었겠다 라는 생각이 드는 앨범.   Nov 6, 2024

Very good work on guitars,a tight rhythm sectionand lots of keyboards effects the way only FATES WARNING teached to play !   Nov 7, 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
