Nordarikets Strid

level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Exactly what I wanted to hear. This super prolific artist keeps the quality level high.   May 16, 2024
Phantoma
preview  Unleash the Archers preview  Phantoma (2024)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
I liked abyss a little more, but I see they're still growing as songwriters. Everything is either good or excellent. Especially excellent is the variety, ranging from clean & happy power metal to quite extreme moments as well, and it all feels natural.   May 16, 2024

Disharmony
preview  A Light In The Dark preview  Disharmony (2012)  [EP]
level 15 Cosmicism   70/100
It's so-so for me. Some songs stop awkwardly in the middle, and the compositions feel a bit plain. The overall sound is really nice though.   May 16, 2024
Toward the Depths
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
Nice depressive compositions by Woods of Desolation.   May 16, 2024
The Plague of a Coming Age
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Everything's very good: songwriting, guitar tone, genuine feeling. Easy to recommend.   May 14, 2024
Worse than Dead

Screaming out "I'm alive" and listening to this album give the exact same feeling. Truly great music.   May 14, 2024

Unterm Gipfelthron
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
That ray of sunshine on the cover should give you an idea of how it feels to listen to this. Some BM fans might feel there's not enough BM on the album. Keep an open mind; it's good music.   May 14, 2024
Execration of Cruel Bestiality
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
I love the hellish atmosphere and vigor of this album.   May 14, 2024
Entraves de l'âme
preview  Borgne preview  Entraves de l'âme (2010)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
I seriously needed to relax, and the wonderful atmosphere of this vicious album gave me everything I needed. A bit like 90s symphonic BM to my ear, it might be Borgne following the lead of their influences before finding ways to be more original just a couple of years later. Anyway, it's still as great as I expected.   May 13, 2024
Inter Sidera
preview  Nord Frost preview  Inter Sidera (2016)
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
Maybe about 15% metal, but overall I can enjoy it a bit because of the obvious effort that went into making the ambient soundscape intriguing.   May 13, 2024

Lucky that this deathgrind supergroup gets together, and holy %*#@$ that drumming.   May 13, 2024
The Killing Gods
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
From the opening guitar tone, I just knew this was going to be great. The energy is amazing, and the drumming is astounding. A reminder of why I listen to Misery Index, and of why I'm fond of deathgrind.   May 12, 2024

Pleonectic
preview  Neo Inferno 262 preview  Pleonectic (2023)
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
First I want to say that track 8 is a full-on masterpiece. Now, this album will be a challenging experience for many listeners, but it's worth it to brave the strange, maybe unnameable, feelings and unconventional song structures. This album is really about something and it matches the theme musically. My pick of the day. Something worked out right with all those veteran collaborators.   May 12, 2024
The Garden of Earthly Delights
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Heavy insanity, and it sounds like it takes some serious skills to play these songs. Bonus respect for the Bosch allusion.   May 12, 2024
Behold the Devastation
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
Not the style I expected to hear and, to be honest, it doesn't hold together so well. It feels a bit awkward. Brittney's vocals keep this score from dropping to 70. Their later songwriting is so much better.   May 12, 2024
The Bones of a Dying World
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
One of those big & omnipresent releases in recent post-rock. I liked it a bit a few years ago, but it impresses me much more now. Highly recommendable.   May 12, 2024
Boszork​á​nyszimf​ó​ni​á​k
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Is it cheating to raid the most legendary moments of classical music for your own metal album? Anyway, it's quite a journey, and this rendition of Chopin's piece is astounding.   May 12, 2024
Розірване небо (Torn Sky)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
The whole album is good, but a few parts are totally fantastic. Another high-quality release by Sidus Atrum.   May 12, 2024
Daudswiärk

The Last EP
preview  Amiensus preview  The Last EP (2010)  [EP]
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
A good place to start for Amiensus. It's listenable, but they did progress much further than this just a couple of years later.   May 12, 2024
Skáphe³
preview  Skáphe preview  Skáphe³ (2020)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Heavy as all hell, hypnotizing as all hell, and Stygian as all Hades. These are fantastic songs, and they all work together as one huge 36-minute piece. Highly commendable and it's enjoyable on a visceral level.   May 12, 2024
Anthems of Soil and Stars
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Wow. This artist has been gaining experience for a number of years already, and it really shows in the swooning beauty of these melodies.   May 12, 2024
We Are Trees
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
A contemporary classic of post-rock. I used to listen to this one often, and it has just as much substance to it as I recollect. Great to escape from vocals and just feel the flow of the music.   May 12, 2024

Depraved Ingestion of Cranial Discharge

Yes it's heavy, brutal, & gigantic, but I just couldn't get so excited about it. Maybe it's more for metalheads partial to brutality.   May 9, 2024
Quiescence
preview  Analepsy preview  Quiescence (2022)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Did you ever have a Slam Wednesday? Well, for me, there were some great examples of bands putting some real feeling & nuance into all the thunderous destruction. Also, though slam vocals are by design quite absurd, Analepsy makes them listenable & expressive too. Good work.   May 9, 2024
Ritualistic Intercourse Within Abject Surrealism
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Here's the danger with all these glamorous cover models posing for these albums; if she's not my type I don't want to hurt her feelings, but I might not want the album because my sense of beauty is not so typical. Also, the instrumentation is excellent on this one.   May 9, 2024
Necrogenesis
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
I'm glad this true gem showed up on Slam Worldwide. Often slam is fun, but with the thick atmosphere, and the good taste in vocals, I take this one a bit more seriously. The cover art is a super cool concept with execution that's a bit medium, but the music is quite high-tier to my ears.   May 9, 2024
The Quiet Earth
preview  Morrow preview  The Quiet Earth (2022)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
More passion than you could imagine on this powerful album that feels at once in a dirty club somewhere but also in some fancy rehearsal space. There's a billion guest vocalists from crust and hardcore groups. Really genuine stuff from a bunch that believes in what they're saying.   May 9, 2024
Infinite Mortality
preview  Replicant preview  Infinite Mortality (2024)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Thanks to wonderfully mind-warping albums like this, dissonant DM is a very happening sub-genre. I can tell a lot of work & inspiration went into making this. Great cover too. Total class act.   May 9, 2024
Regeneration
preview  Guhts preview  Regeneration (2024)
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
I like the style since it's similar to Cult of Luna & Julie Christmas's collaboration. However, I don't get into this Guhts album as much. The vocals feel more like performance art, which could be OK, but I just don't like it as much as some sludge fans might. It's still easy to hear how this is a fully capable band - maybe I'll like another album from them much more.   May 9, 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.   3 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

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

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
