Last week I tried a lot of punky sub-genres such as this powerviolence by Groin, and this was the most enjoyable out of the whole brilliantly in-your-face bunch. The track titles already have me in paradise, but the music is so on point too. Highly recommended.   Jul 8, 2024

A great variety of punk and many kinds of metal done very well, all with an oppressive atmosphere and genuine feeling. Good and original.   Jul 8, 2024

A quite thall kind of djent. Though it's somewhat blackened, I still hear some Meshuggah influence. I scarcely find any combinations of djent and black metal, so it's cool to hear this one. Overall, pretty good.   Jul 8, 2024

Great rousing punkiness that works well with these rhythms, and yes it's rough & heavy as the genres suggest. I love the deathgrind parts, and for a few moments it does venture into straight-up death metal territory so there's real variety here. Fantastic and extremely memorable.   Jul 8, 2024

It's definitely satisfying, and I found the instrumentation really shining every here & there. Overall, good but not great for me.   Jul 8, 2024

I liked the whole album, but nothing was as engaging as some of their other releases such as Wolves Within. Still good though.   Jul 8, 2024

So I was trying to get a sense for nu metalcore, which is becoming a thing. This album was a mix of okay moments and slightly subpar moments, but the 10th track, Clickbait, was the only thing I actually disliked. Overall, slightly better than so-so.   Jul 8, 2024

Stylewise, this is just what I was looking for, but I couldn't find the immediacy I often get from war metal. For me, so-so.   Jul 8, 2024

This past week was particularly good for me, and this dank swaggering album was one of the best parts. I love how the vocals are de-emphasized but still pack a lot of attitude. I also love the Iommic guitarwork.   Jul 8, 2024

I can get into this nu metalcore album. One of the guys is the one from Memorrhage. Known Demise is a bit less centered on Slipknot, and works in a bit of early Deftones & early Sepultura, and of course metalcore. Glad I gave it a try.   Jul 8, 2024

Somewhat bad, which it pains me a bit to say, because I was really hoping something in this style could be better. The biggest problem is the voice the singer uses; it's just boring, unmusical, and samey. Sometimes the orchestrations get really phoney, and the lyrics have some moments for rolling your eyes. Just the guitars and drums could've been the basis for something better. Too commercial and a disappointment.   Jul 2, 2024

Weird and unorthodox, and a bit of a challenging listen too, with it's intentionally distant and muffled recording. That might sound like a bad idea, but it makes it very interesting. I'm afraid some will not give this a fair try, and others might act snobby and make too much about the fuzzy soundscape. All things considered, it's pretty entrancing, but I wouldn't say it's excellent.   Jul 2, 2024

Great songs with great arrangements: all the instruments sound so great working together. Of course it's pummeling and relentelss, but then the last track goes into ambient territory with a foreboding feel. All in all, very good.   Jul 2, 2024

Very satisfying for the whole 39 minutes.   Jul 2, 2024

My surprise of the day. A great mix atmospheric BM, depressive BM, and Kyrgyz folk. Some parts have a strong resemblance to Drudkh, and some parts are similar to Severoth. It's also all extremely epic and full of drama. Easy to recommend. My pick of the day.   Jul 2, 2024

Softer than I expected and more progressive than I expected. I don't enjoy it as much as their 2012 album, but it's clear they are growing as musicians. Respect to Vemod for that, and it's still rather moving.   Jul 2, 2024

Interesting and it has some very good moments, but most of the album I like just bit.   Jun 29, 2024

A nice album by Liminal Shroud, but what I'm really looking forward to is their 2024 release.....   Jun 29, 2024

Yet another hot new band from the very happening deathgrind subgenre. Shock Withdrawal is fully on my radar from now on.   Jun 29, 2024

This time Aran just astounded me even though I was betting it would be very good. Listening again, I find this haunting album even deeper. It's also extremely well crafted: the ambient moments and slower moments are all the perfect length, the field recordings are lush & sensory without overstaying their welcome, and the instruments all have the optimal timing for bringing maximum levels of melancholia. Absolutely my pick of the week.   Jun 29, 2024

After listening to some melancholic and moody albums, this ravenous brutal deathgrind made a glorious contrast. I don't gravitate to brutal death metal so much, but I can really respect these guys for doing it so well.   Jun 29, 2024

The band that calls their music bimboviolence put together a very good album here.   Jun 29, 2024

Cool band with a unique theme & image. Their music is good too.   Jun 29, 2024

Incredible and brightly burning deathgrind with those break-neck speeds I came for. It promises to be 12:47, but it ends up being longer because I just had to hit play another 3 or 4 times right away. I've been digging for more deathgrind, and this was my biggest reward for these efforts this week.   Jun 29, 2024

Tons of great moments. The songs are so epic, and the brass instruments add some great emotional depth to the overall feeling. Another great atmospheric BM album by Sear Bliss.   Jun 29, 2024

Nice melodic BM by Winter Eternal.   Jun 29, 2024

Wow. What a replayable and vigorous release by Gorgoroth. All the melodies flow so nicely and the rhythms have a real sense of urgency. I also enjoyed the pagan moments. One of their great albums.   Jun 29, 2024

Pleasant surprised; I wasn't even aware of this album but the quality, passion, and energy are all their. I think I'm also hearing some Killing Joke influence, so it adds some variety to Ministry's massive discography. Track 2 is dynamite, and the chillout closing track works very well.   Jun 29, 2024

Very good dissonant and tech death. Their 2024 album definitely grabs hold of my attention better, but this is still highly recommended for fans of dissonance.   Jun 29, 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
