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

This is one of those trance-inducing atmospheric BM albums that sparkle in the sky. Very good work. Jun 29, 2024
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

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
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

Decent atmospheric BM album by a new band from Belarus. Jun 29, 2024

This one feels unfocused to me, not as brimming with musical ideas like Plague and Starthrone. Not bad. Mediocre, I think. Jun 29, 2024

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
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

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

Good dependable black metal, and they keep it interesting with some uniqueness in their sound. Jun 29, 2024
Cosmicism 80/100
Pretty good, and I'd give it a higher score if the songs got to the point sooner. Jun 29, 2024
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
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.

The evil feelings are great through this album, and then the last track is hypnotizing. Jun 23, 2024

Spiritual Instinct is a small bit better than this, but this album is still not to be missed. Jun 23, 2024

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

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

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
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
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
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

Nice solid war metal here. Almost as good as their 2023 album. Jun 23, 2024
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
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

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
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

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

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

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

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
