Dirt
preview  Alice in Chains preview  Dirt (1992)
level 15 Cosmicism   100/100
I used to play this album very very frequently. Now, after a bunch of years for a break, I'm amazed to find even more quality in it than I used to. All instruments including voice are just so phenomenal, the songs are inventive and expertly written, and the lyrics are crazy visceral while having true thought put into them. Even more of a flawless victory than you can get in Mortal Kombat (1992 Style).   Nov 11, 2024
Scary Muzak
preview  Ulver preview  Scary Muzak (2021)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
The score from the movie Halloween but covered. The original music was by John Carpenter, the director, and it's a major highlight of film history. Ulver can't go wrong with the iconic main theme, but the quality doesn't quite stay at the same level all the way through this album. Still, it's cool to see Ulver do something like this.   Nov 4, 2024

Just learned about this band, and I'm very excited to catch up with them. Great black metal with some death metal for variety. Dark and gorgeous.   Nov 4, 2024

The gothic metal of this album really hit the spot for me. Even the softer moments don't feel like filler. Thank you Tribulation.   Nov 4, 2024

level 15 Cosmicism   65/100
Not a good album. Actually very disappointing considering how their 2015 album was pretty good. This time there's not enough djent. Instead they wrote very weak emotionless & boring verses. Yeah the choruses are better in comparison, still nothing I'd call good. Even a bit overproduced. Overall, it's a bad album.   Nov 4, 2024

Very enjoyable if you just want to get your aggression out, but then read those lyrics - you might laugh your butt off. I mean this in a very good way.   Nov 4, 2024
From the Other Side of the Mirror
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Very nice and harsh for the most part. Though it ends with some uplifting posty punky emo-y stuff, the album travels through despair and rage until it gets there. Instrumentally, there's no black metal, though the vocals are obviously blackened. Glassing really caught my attention here: I like this more than I thought I was going to.   Nov 4, 2024
Paranoia & Violence

Pretty good, but not great. Cut out some of the movie soundclips and I might bring it up to 80/100.   Nov 4, 2024
The Somatic Defilement
level 15 Cosmicism   70/100
Oh, would you stop all the cringey F-word garbage? Nothing special here for me. Actually, a bit disappointed considering how much I loved Kin. Oh well, they needed to start somewhere.   Nov 4, 2024
III: Non Sequitur
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Lots of interesting highlights in this very emotional album. Actually, it would take tons of explaining. For that reason, I think everyone should just listen to it. It doesn't quite make my end-of-year list, but still required listening if you ask me.   Nov 4, 2024
Black Royal Spiritism - I​.​O Sino da Igreja
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
It has a palpable feeling of danger and evil intentions. It does recall Blasphemer's work with Mayhem, which I am thankful for. Easy to recommend to any black metal fan.   Nov 4, 2024
The Nothing That Is
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
Disappointing for me. Definitely a bit weaker than their 2022 album. It seems like they're half-heartedly chasing the thall trend. Another so-so deathcore album that's better for record label than it is for the ear. OK, it's not so bad for the ear, but it's not particularly good either.   Nov 4, 2024

Reduced Capabilities
preview  Fluids preview  Reduced Capabilities (2024)
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
A good goregrind album that has a bit more nuance than I expected. Also the last track, a Moby cover, takes goregrind into a soothing & peaceful mode. This is something I never thought the genre would do, and the result is breathtaking, even spiritual-feeling; definitely the high point for me on this memorable album.   Nov 4, 2024
The Roots of a Sacred Tree
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Not all tracks are as excellent as the epic track 5, but there are other good parts as well, and nothing particularly bad - quite a solid album. Overall, if you ever listen to atmospheric BM, this will give you what you came for.   Nov 4, 2024

Obnoxious and rambunctious punk interspersed with reggae chill-outs. Great energy and it might be played more skillfully than many would assume for such an underground punk band. A really enjoyable album.   Nov 4, 2024

Vile Mutation

Good slam on this album with a cool cover. Also, the sound clips from movies or whatever are just the right length and not too frequent. So many bands go too far with that stuff, so it's good to see Visions of Disfigurement do it right.   Nov 2, 2024
Profane Death Exodus
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Since I enjoyed their 2024 album so much, I was stoked to learn they have earlier material. Slightly different style here with the war metal, but it's almost as good as their recent release.   Nov 2, 2024

A nice change of pace for Devin; it almost feels like some of these songs would fit in on classic rock radio. Some people might say the last track is just gimmicky, but it's actually extremely clever and it's one of the best moments on the album.   Nov 2, 2024

level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Obvious it took a lot of work to produce this album with the classical music, electronica, & black metal making for a unique experience. There's an interesting use of a sound like when a CD is skipping, becoming a kind of percussion. It's a bizarre mix that will understandably turn off many people, but I think it deserves some recognition.   Nov 2, 2024

Charcoal Grace
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
I can tell the members are serious about their instruments, and these songs are quite challenging. Some huge flaws on the album include some painful treacle moments and corny ones too - major problems on the composition side. Also, I started really needing the singer to shut up, especially with the wordy & sophomoric lyrics in a vocal tone that gets old very fast. I know lots of people love this album, but those flaws drag the score down to a mediocre 75 for me.   Nov 2, 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

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.   2 days ago

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
