A great place to start for the fantastic Alghazanth.   Mar 20, 2025

Great use of the symphonic element to make an ominous atmosphere. Some good tracks and some amazing ones.   Mar 20, 2025

The beat does get stuck in a rut a few times, but there are some nice raw vibes too.   Mar 19, 2025

Rather depressive in feel for most of the album. It's all right.   Mar 19, 2025

The excellent vocal control and the insanely nimble guitarwork are the best parts of this album. However, some painfully trite lyrics and rambling petering out song structures drag down my score a bit, especially with that sappy first track.   Mar 19, 2025

This album starts off in the middle of some pitch black and deadly night, and then it goes through a bunch of different drama, finishing with no daylight in sight still. Overall, good but not equal to Melana Chasmata. My favorite tracks are In Shrouds Decayed and A Thousand Lies.   Mar 19, 2025

Thick gratifying sound on this swaggering doom album.   Mar 19, 2025

Bottom and 4° especially still astound me, but I think the big story here is how accomplished & inspired this 1st full-length as a whole is. It's not that far behind their next few masterpieces.   Mar 19, 2025

Déhà - kindly leaving us all an emotional wreck time & time again.   Mar 19, 2025

Cool EP from a unique artist.   Mar 19, 2025

My pick of the week, last week. It's that wonderfully diabolical atmosphere I've come to expect from Borgne, and almost every song is giant and dramatic.   Mar 19, 2025

How good is the album? Really solid. On top of that, the album must be wearing big thick sunglasses for the whole 36:40.   Mar 19, 2025

Absolutely beautiful. The 1st track is the best and, good news, it's by far the longest track. Rest in peace Juhani Palomäki.   Mar 19, 2025

That 1st track is by far the main attraction here, but the middle of the album does have a bit of a punky vibe, which is quite interesting. Anyway, good for a few listens, but I'll come back expressly for track 1.   Mar 19, 2025

Very industrial and electronica-based. Definitely has some good atmosphere.   Mar 19, 2025

Understandable how Lacuna Coil made such a big splash back in 2002; this album is a real pleasure to listen to.   Mar 19, 2025

Cool start for Glassing. I'll go out on a limb and say this is mostly on the post-hardcore side. Also, a bit different than their magnificent 2024 album. Still cool though.   Mar 19, 2025

The trap & rap elements made this a trip outside my regular listening territory. It was an interesting trip.   Mar 19, 2025

It seems she's a very independent artist, and here she switched from hip-hop and rap to doomgaze, and it worked out very well for her.   Mar 19, 2025

It sounds to me like these guys are highly skilled musicians, but the jazzy nature of the songs is not quite what I get into. If that's your thing, I'll bet you'll love this one.   Mar 19, 2025

Amazing atmospheric BM by these black metal veterans who started afresh under a new band name, and in triumphant fashion at that. Also, black metal fans, just look at that photo.   Mar 19, 2025

Extremely nocturnal vibes from this gorgeous album.   Mar 19, 2025

Nice dreamy free & open post-metal guitarwork contrasting with extreme metal elements such as harsh vocals and sludgy composition. Great work by a rather new group.   Mar 19, 2025

Very nice slam record with a striking cover painting. You can really hear how much practice & dedication went into this instrumentation. Very glad I listened.   Mar 19, 2025

Another very good release by these twins. Frostbitten is much more emotional power behind it to me, but that's a high bar. Grima's building quite a discography.   Mar 19, 2025

Nice new EP by Ninkharsag, and I like how their album covers seem to work as a running narrative.   Mar 19, 2025

Pretty darn good album. Let's be honest. Anne is a better singer even though Tilo's vocals have tons of personality. This is why track 7 stands out so much; a brilliant vocal performance by Anne. For the rest of the album nothing is bad. Track 1 is not quite up to the standards of the rest of the song. Anyway, still cool.   Mar 10, 2025

The 90s have it. I agree. The foreboding cultic vibes of this bestial album are wonderful.   Mar 10, 2025

Listening to this, I felt like I was getting into a really so-so album, but starting with track 6 the quality jumped up a whole bunch. Even it all out and it gets a good score. Nothing particularly negative in the first half... so it goes from okay to nice.   Mar 10, 2025

게임 매드무비에 넣을 곡이 더 생겼다 밴드 연주 작살난다 보컬리스트가 러셀 엘런같이 노래 개 잘한다 빠른 멜로디인데도 노래를 단단하고 웅장하게 잘 부른다. 있어야 할게 다 있는 파워 메탈의 정석   Mar 15, 2025

언제 들어도 좋은 심포닉 파워 메탈계의 명반   Mar 13, 2025

아무래도 이 1집에서는 많은 이들이 Sweet Child o' Mine을 꼽겠지만, 내게 있어서 이 앨범 최고의 곡은 절대적으로 Nightrain이다. 밴드의 정체성, 색깔, 연주력 등을 한 번에 대변해주는 곡이랄까. 심지어 가사까지 말이다. 같이 늙어간다는 말이 어울리겠지만, 그때의 열정 속에서 Nightrain을 외치고 연주를 하던 그들의 모습은 정말로 젊음의 영웅이자 양아치였다.   Mar 19, 2025

다시 살아난 폼은 떨어질 줄 모르고, 진짜 좋은데.. 정말 좋은데.. 짙게 드리운 어둠이라기에는 너무 명징하다. 컨셉에 맞는 분위기와 강약 조절을 좀만 더 했다면 명반 반열로 올라가는건데, 듣기 좋아서 더욱 그 한끝이 아쉽다.   Mar 30, 2025

I'm pretty sure this is the best debut in history. Sonata Arctica immediately does what they do best and the result is amazing. "FullMoon" is a great song.   Mar 11, 2025

Great album but not at the level of the debut in my opinion. The band tries a bit of progressive direction with pretty good results, although some songs are quite weak. The end of the album is great. Good job Sonata!   Mar 11, 2025

DT caught my attention with their previous album and this one confirms my thoughts on them. I´m not so fond of their old stuffs but these 2 keep me on my feet and I will go back to them regularly.   Mar 12, 2025

Awesome album one of my favourite thrash albums.   Mar 30, 2025

모던 파워 메탈 특유의 대중지향적이고 댄서블한 면이 분명 있으나 선을 넘어버린 다른 밴드 만큼 과하지 않고 적당하다. 앨범 후반부가 좀 아쉽긴 하지만, 그래도 이들의 앨범 중에선 이 앨범이 가장 마음에 듦.   4 days ago

Wintersun combines about 10 different genres with great success on this album. A perfect album, in the top 20 of all time.   4 days ago

Like "Silence", only 1000 times better. The band's absolute best album. Not all the songs are masterpieces, but the best ones are incredible and the atmosphere of the album is epic.   Mar 11, 2025

그 나이에 이게 데뷔앨범 이라는게 믿기지 않는다...다만 이때 모든 힘을 쏟은 것일까...ㅠ   Mar 12, 2025

모든 사운드가 사악하다.   Mar 12, 2025

Probably Judas Priest's most commercially successful album, and it's extremely good. The song material is brilliant, and if we forget the existence of "Pain And Pleasure" and "Fever", it's perfect. The "Hellion/Electric Eye" duo is still one of the greatest opening tracks in metal history. The production is tuned to exactly the level that a band of this class should have. And then there's Rob Halford. Absolutely phenomenal, a top-3 Priest album for me.   Mar 13, 2025

이시기에 나온 데스메탈 앨범들을 생각해보면 이들은 진짜 못해도 혼자서 20년을 넘게 앞서갔다.   Mar 13, 2025

90-95 이미 3집부터 이들의 음악은 헤비하고 꽤 프로그레시브의 주제의식을 가진 앨범들로 발전해갔다. 앨범커버는 dc 코믹스와 마블에서 유명한 Ethan Van Sciver의 그림이라고 한다. 일본반은 2번의 어쿠스틱 버전이 더 들어가 있다. 윙어의 진가는 이미 전작부터 보여줬고 깊이 있는 음악을 보여주는 것이 딱 내가 원하는 그런 밴드이다.   Mar 13, 2025

슬로바키아의 세풀투라. 89점.   Mar 13, 2025

Rainbow leaves classic hard rock behind with their second album and begins to create the beginnings of the genre that would later be called power metal. The song material is practically perfect and the album features perhaps the strongest band line-up in history. The last two songs are pure masterpieces. If melodic old-school heavy metal with incredible vocal performances interests you, now you know where to look. Legendary!   Mar 15, 2025

Excellant Amorphis album.   Mar 15, 2025
