Cosmicism 80/100
Nice album by Moonsorrow. The intro track didn't feel necessary to me. That's the only negative thing I can say; Good viking & folk metal. Nov 12, 2024
Cosmicism 85/100
Solid all around, Acoustic and clean folky segments don't turn into filler, I was extremely pleased to find. Good epicness, emotion, & atmosphere. Nov 12, 2024

My mission was to have a viking metal Monday. I expected I'd be rolling my eyes every so often, but I actually didn't. This passionate album was the highlight of the day. Yeah, it's about half black metal, very 2nd wave, but I liked the viking parts as well. Absolutely, I can recommend this. Dark, evil, dramatic, rousing, so many good aspects here. Nov 12, 2024

This one comes in with a great opening song, and the instrumental closing track is really moving. I think the phrase 'instrumental closing track' sounds like filler to a lot of us, but that's not the case here. Overall very good. Nov 12, 2024

Good black metal with a bit of influence from viking metal if you ask me. Nov 11, 2024

A gorgeous shoegaze album. I guess Damián is putting all the black metal songwriting into Trhä these days. Also, it's nice for an artist to do a lot of blackgaze and post-BM, but then show us they actually understand what straight-up shoegaze is. The vocals are just astounding. That doesn't mean I can tell who's doing which vocals though, and I don't particularly need to know to enjoy this. Nov 11, 2024
Cosmicism 70/100
I don't quite like the songwriting or the clean vocals, but I still can't go negative on this album. The pro musicianship does make it listenable, but on balance it ends up being an innocuous experience. Nov 11, 2024

Yes very nice, and I'm not surprised that Integrity and their peers created a whole style of music. Metalcore actually started in a very good place. Also, it's a place with more in common with hardcore punk than more recent bands have. I'll be glad to try any Integrity album in the future. Nov 11, 2024

Good very emotional songs, and I didn't get any of that melodic metalcore cringe. Good work by Poison the Well. Nov 11, 2024

Very good and very solid. The drummer surprised me because I tend to think of 80s heavy metal as a sea of simple percussion. Really really not the case here. Nov 11, 2024

The last track really blew me away, but the whole thing is very fun music. Nov 11, 2024

Very good music here. With that album cover, remember there's some other sub-genres too - not just black metal. Nov 11, 2024
Cosmicism 85/100
All that soloing surely helped this become such a smash at the closing of the 80s. I find the style of their 1985 album a bit more enjoyable, but this one is also well played with tons of energy and great melodies. Nov 11, 2024

So I learned that this serial killer / mass murderer theme is something they've been doing since the beginning. Very good early album from one of the best bands out there today. Nov 11, 2024
Cosmicism 80/100
Pretty good. I like how it's very heavy metal and traditional doom, while also keeping some traditional Japanese culture in the vocal delivery. At the same time, the vocals are the weak point because they need project more or resonate more... something needs to be more. Nov 11, 2024
Cosmicism 85/100
Good industrial album, and nice to learn of this artist who switches between quite different kinds of music apparently. Bear in mind, the first track will be unlistenable to most humans. The rest of the album is a real pleasure though. Don't abandon ship, maybe just switch to track 2. Nov 11, 2024

Pretty good music here. The vocals were the weak point for me. Nov 11, 2024

Crazy energy on this short album. rateyourmusic needs to learn the difference between cybergrind and industrial metal. It wasn't what I was searching for, but I appreciated the energy. Nov 11, 2024

I wasn't expecting the brilliance & expertise I heard on Pleonectic, their 2023 release. Hacking the Holy Code was really decent, however. Good industrial songs and some good symphonic BM as well. Nov 11, 2024
Cosmicism 95/100
I was trying to have an industrial Tuesday last week, and this one gave me the dystopian atmosphere I was really craving. The ambient element is well-crafted and infectious. That submarine-feeling sound in the mix really affects me. The mechanical-feeling metal instrumentation is great too, and everything fits together perfectly. Extremely glad I gave this band a try. Nov 11, 2024

Definitely more than 50% groove metal. Also not so good. Well, a little good. Nov 11, 2024
Cosmicism 85/100
Nice doomgaze here from Outlander. I can't say anything about the slowcore sub-genre out of ignorance, but anyway this album was a good & spacey chance to chill out. The cover photo also sparks my imagination. Nov 11, 2024

So last week I had a mathcore Monday, and this quick EP had enough manic energy in it to leave a real impression. Nov 11, 2024

Rather good, but as for the heaviness there is no rather; it's as heavy as ten elephants. Nov 11, 2024
Cosmicism 80/100
Some say this is early mathcore, but anyway, I find it noticeably better than Botch, so it was good news. Nice hardcore feel to it, and nothing negative to say about this one. Nov 11, 2024
Cosmicism 90/100
I remember when the closing title track was a new single on the radio - it was a nice memory that really stuck around. Now I find it's still great, but I'm starting to love track 2 more than I used to. Just like this album concludes in style, the band concluded their bold career with brilliance by releasing this great album. Nov 11, 2024

Cool EP by Primordial Serpent. Track 2 was especially nice. Nov 11, 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
