Inexorable Nature of Adversity
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Very precise execution, and the drums have a great sound. Nice & powerful.   May 3, 2024
Primitive Force

Oh heck yeah. This deathgrind is just so fiery. The members experience from their previous band is apparent.   May 3, 2024

I wasn't surprised, but this EP really stole my heart. I find the first half more engaging than the second, but it's still a great experience to hear the whole thing and drift away.   May 3, 2024

Versets noir
preview  ACOD preview  Versets noir (2024)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Really beautifully demonic music by this extremely vital band. I can't say, however, that this album is as much of a gem as their 2022 album. Versets noirs is only 42 minutes and the last track is a Samael cover, so it doesn't pack as much value overall. The result is that we should just listen to a bunch of their releases in a row and feel super satisfied. Thank you so much, ACOD!   Apr 29, 2024
It Beckons Us All......
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Great heavy metal and thrash with still that hint of BM. Of the past 10 years, I think this one is 2nd to Old Star; really close in fact. Also, that cover art works fantastically with the theme, and its element of surrealism is mixed in perfectly. This album is a class act in many respects from the prolific veterans.   Apr 29, 2024

This one has some absolutely beautiful Pink-Floyd-sounding moments, and all the sludge is good as well. Solid album.   Apr 29, 2024
Coagulated Bliss
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Some bands like Full of Hell play a real unique mix of quite a few genres, and they truly excel with this approach. For metalheads who are trying to develop an understanding of a genre, this can be really confusing. Anyway, one track starts off as drone metal and quickly phases into doom. There are all kinds of other brilliant highlights. For me, the deathgrind brings the most satisfaction. Top-tier work, overall.   Apr 29, 2024

Fragments of the Ageless
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
Pierce Williams is probably my favorite drummer active now, and this is more of the stuff I just love immensely. The vocals are pretty good, and that's the weakest element of the album. Everything else is excellent. Highly recommended and, without a doubt, my pick of the week.   Apr 29, 2024

Spirit of the Native Land
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
A decent start. Not original at all, but imitating Lustre in the early releases turned into a good discography for many projects such as Basarabian Hills.   Apr 29, 2024
Sadochismo
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
It is very hard to take this music seriously with the vocals being like blowing bubbles in a cup of water. I tried to have an open mind, and found some great bouncy grooves and deathy guitar melodies. I really don't need to hear crying and abuse for minutes though. Some good aspects and some negative ones.   Apr 29, 2024

I'm almost considering moving this up to 90. It was a lot better than I expected, noticing that too idealized execution of a nice idea for an album cover. I was in it for the doomy aspect, but the more rock & post-metal parts were fantastic. At Least it's Something is the standout track for me, but the whole record is full of great moments.   Apr 29, 2024
A Certain End of Everything
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
Cathartic & uplifting music, so it's kinda mom rock while also being gothic doom but still works well even if you assume that' a bad combo. Not a favorite, but I'm glad I listened.   Apr 29, 2024

Cosmic Keys to the Mourning Mystique
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
Yes Mithrandir used the same painting for an album cover last year. Anyway, this EP is very old-school symphonic, so it often sounds more synth than classical. All in all, it's pretty good.   Apr 24, 2024

Into the Kingdom of Graves
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Very well played and in great taste. It's also their own kind of war metal, so it's more distinct than other bands. There is a surprising shift in style later in the album, but anyway, this is highly recommendable. My pick of the day.   Apr 24, 2024
Unleash the Carnivore
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
This one has great energy. Devourment's kind of slam should be heard even by metalheads who don't like the sub-genre.   Apr 24, 2024
A Breath of the Wide Valley
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
The last ambient track really stirs the emotions. This is good, but nowhere near his best. It is much more consistent than In the Stillness of the Codrii.   Apr 24, 2024
In the Stillness of the Codrii
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
This album is half & half for me. The first 2 songs just don't work well; the elements feel just wrong together. I was pleased to discover how much better the second 2 songs are. It would be a shame to waste that brilliant album cover if the music was not so good, with that shocking black logo looking so profound against that false-night photograph. Tracks 3 & 4 save the day.   Apr 24, 2024
A Mortal Binding
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Wow, last week was amazing with the releases. This is very good doom, and the songs have that great quality that makes just the main melody stay in your head long after listening. Fantastic album by these veterans.   Apr 24, 2024

5 really distinct tracks. The 1st half of track is a lot more exciting than the 2nd half of it. That's the most negative thing I can say about this album. After all these years Melvins still have a lot to say musically, and here it's all played well. I thought I'd like it and it exceeded my expectations. Hats off.   Apr 24, 2024

Cometh the Storm

Funny Dvne's album came out on the same day. Usually something as good as this High on Fire record would be the pick of the day. It's all really good and I feel it all throughout my body. You'll also find it goes into Sleep territory at the end. A great journey of an album.   Apr 21, 2024

Absolutely my pick of the week. Tons of passion while the compositions are actually mind-blowing and probably really hard to play. This band now has 3 master-tier albums, and they've only released 3 albums. They deserve a lot of credit for really caring about their craft and putting in the hard work to create albums this fantastic.   Apr 21, 2024

It's just their 1st album, and it's kind of plain jane, needing more dynamism in the guitarwork. It ends up being like Minsitry but less interesting. Later albums are a gigantic improvement.   Apr 21, 2024

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

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

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

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
