Règne des morts
preview  Borgne preview  Règne des morts (2015)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Great evil & despair in the metal, and the keyboards make a great counterpoint. Also, the very ambitious 15-minute closing track is commendable success. Always a delight listening to Borgne.   Jun 29, 2024
Eternal Wanderer of the Night Sky
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
This is one of those trance-inducing atmospheric BM albums that sparkle in the sky. Very good work.   Jun 29, 2024
Powerslave
preview  Iron Maiden preview  Powerslave (1984)
level 15 Cosmicism   100/100
So many high points on this legendary album. Listening today, it really struck me how every instrument plays such a productive role in the composition, and all so audibly as well. Class act all around.   Jun 29, 2024

The Sorrow of the Evergreens
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
2021 was such a great year for Atmospheric BM, and this is just one of the hordes of top-notch albums from that year, but it still stayed in my memory. It was a real pleasure to listen to it a few more times after a few years.   Jun 29, 2024
Midsummer's Twilight
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
Nice atmospheric BM, and a just slightly unorthodox album cover that works very well. Red Embers, track 3, was a real treat. Also, a Final Fantasy X theme for track 5? Nice nerdy credentials.   Jun 29, 2024
The Harvest
preview  Woodland Haze preview  The Harvest (2024)
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
Decent atmospheric BM album by a new band from Belarus.   Jun 29, 2024
To Keep the Flame Burning
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
This one feels unfocused to me, not as brimming with musical ideas like Plague and Starthrone. Not bad. Mediocre, I think.   Jun 29, 2024
惨劇の血に赫く染まった愛と絶望の黒い死とが紡ぐ最期の物語
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
The narration gets a bit irritating and corny, but the music is more than decent. Listenable album, and better than I expected for this early in their career.   Jun 29, 2024
The Healer
preview  Sumac preview  The Healer (2024)
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
Many parts are just fantastic, but there's all this improv-sounding stuff between the highlights, and it loses a lot of momentum and tension. I hope some of their other albums are formatted differently.   Jun 29, 2024
King
preview  Immortal Disfigurement preview  King (2024)
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
There's some great energy and stark raving mad vocals, but the songs are just seas of heaviness and there aren't enough landmarks to differentiate the moments, except for the closing of the album; it really goes out with a bang. Everything considered, even though it's not my cup of tea, I still got into it a bit.   Jun 29, 2024
Schicksalstotschlag
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Good dependable black metal, and they keep it interesting with some uniqueness in their sound.   Jun 29, 2024
Frequencies Made Visible
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
Pretty good, and I'd give it a higher score if the songs got to the point sooner.   Jun 29, 2024
I Am No Longer in the Shadows
preview  Déhà preview  I Am No Longer in the Shadows (2023)  [EP]
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
My pick of the week, no hesitation. That guitarwork just obliterates my heart. Is this masochism? I'm not sure, but this 20-minute song really effects me, and it's very original too.   Jun 23, 2024
Fire
preview  Kittie preview  Fire (2024)
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
The very very commercial album cover had me bracing for something terrible, and then everything went better than expected. There are still a few vocal problems, but the songs hold together very well - well-crafted & well-performed. Maybe by a tiny margin, but I think it's their best album yet, so good work Kittie.   Jun 23, 2024
Lustrum
preview  Inquinamentum preview  Lustrum (2012)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
The evil feelings are great through this album, and then the last track is hypnotizing.   Jun 23, 2024
Les chants de l'aurore
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Spiritual Instinct is a small bit better than this, but this album is still not to be missed.   Jun 23, 2024

springgarden
preview  Sadness / Oculi Melancholiarum preview  springgarden (2023)  [Split]
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
2 prolific artists' songs one one release, and a Sadness track has abriction as a guest. It's all cool stuff. The Oculi Melancholiarum songs are from her Euphorbia album. I'm not sure about the Sadness tracks, because it would take a lot of research. Anyway, good music with an album cover that is extremely hard to look away from.   Jun 23, 2024
A Fortress Called Home
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Not as excellent as Gods of Debauchery, but still good fun. I wish she didn't break into that breathy voice so often - it starts to feel trite.Track 7, Portrait of Us is especially captivating. Quite good songs, and you get to hear a singer that can do things with her voice that most people can't do with a flame thrower so.... positive review.   Jun 23, 2024

Triumphant Son of Darkness
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
It's hard to keep up with all his releases, and it might prove impossible to find a bad one. This one is really cool BM, with a bit of symphonic for flavor. Good work yet again.   Jun 23, 2024
Scriptures of Vicennial Defilement
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Powerful slam here. The audio clips get into NSFW territory about murders and other crimes. Don't be surprised if people look at you funny if they catch you listening. In private, crank that volume.   Jun 23, 2024
From Nothing Comes All
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Though slam tends to be about turning off your brain and just feeling the smashing and the blood & guts, this music is more brooding and it activates my intellect as well. A very pleasant surprise, and it's done very well too. A big musical journey for just 28 minutes.   Jun 23, 2024
Black Sun Sorcery
preview  Moon Reaper preview  Black Sun Sorcery (2024)  [EP]
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Some breakdowns and hardcore-sounding elements might be too close to metalcore for some metalheads. For me, this whole EP is done in very good taste. The songwriting gives it a nice sense of drama, and the dual vocalists work very well together.   Jun 23, 2024
Umbra Dei
preview  Emmeleia preview  Umbra Dei (2024)  [EP]
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
A couple of cool tracks to tide us over, but after that astounding 2022 full-length, I just think 'you can do better.'   Jun 23, 2024
The Tides of Blood
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
Nice solid war metal here. Almost as good as their 2023 album.   Jun 23, 2024
Scars of Yesteryears
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Mega-dependable and still fresh & new band here. Inherits The Void has all my respect. Excellent taste in music, and an obvious dedication to genuine emotion as the force behind the songwriting.   Jun 23, 2024
Tristesse Hivernale
preview  Alcest preview  Tristesse Hivernale (2001)  [Demo]
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Track 1 had me doubting for a moment, but 2, 3, & 4 really had my blood pumping. Manual bass & treble knobs on a good stereo make it easy to get this demo into a listenable mode where you can actually discern the guitarwork. I would love to hear these re-recorded still. "Hey Grandma, you know that peaceful and sentimental Alcest music you like......."   Jun 23, 2024
Schism Perpetration
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
It's good, but their later material just pops out and grabs me so much more. Pretty good and nicely succinct 1st full-length of their wonderful music career and impressive progression.   Jun 23, 2024
Overkill
preview  Motörhead preview  Overkill (1979)
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
I'm into it, and it would be great for your average band, but this is the legendary Motörhead. They were still perfecting their craft at this point.   Jun 23, 2024
The Haunting
preview  Sear Bliss preview  The Haunting (1998)
level 15 Cosmicism   70/100
This is kind of like a slightly blackened Type O Negative, but nowhere near as good. I hear talk of the album's sound being a mastering mistake, with the synths way higher than intended, but either way I don't think these songs are very good. OK to listen once for me.   Jun 23, 2024
Dagoba
preview  Dagoba preview  Dagoba (2003)
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
Pretty good toward the beginning, and it generally gets a bit better in the 2nd half. Track 14 is as NSFW as the song title suggests, just so you know.   Jun 23, 2024

level 13 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

Handle With Care
level 15 metalnrock   85/100
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

Nightfall in Middle-Earth
level 15 metalnrock   95/100
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

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
