Great release from a great band. No matter how soft or hard the music gets, and no matter what mood I'm in, Alcest's albums such as this one always sound gorgeous to me.   Mar 13, 2024

Rate Your Music says this is the best war metal in the past 4 years. I like it, but just not as much as them.   Mar 13, 2024

I know: everyone's favorite band name, right? Anyway, you have to be a bit nuts to like this kind of stuff. By the way, I really loved the whole album. I'm not sure if it helps me get a handle on noisecore or noisegrind, but I had to start somewhere. The long track times work well, and the genuine vigor & aggression come through very well.   Mar 13, 2024

Good music on this epic album. The voice-overs are amateur and corny. Oh well. Still pretty good.   Mar 13, 2024

I loved the ferocious parts, and how this unsettling atmosphere is in all the very different parts of the album. Bear in mind there is a good amount of doom as well here. All good.   Mar 13, 2024

There's lots of great guitar-playing moments and the sound of those guitars is really satisfying. The singing is way too weak, it's just talking in a trendy voice, and the lyrics are too simpleminded, even though the singing melodies are good. All in all, slightly above innocuous.   Mar 12, 2024

100 for the solos. 90 for the drums. 90 for the riffs. 85 for the bass. 70 for the singing. 65 for the lyrics. So yeah, this great instrumentation in songs that don't hold together much.   Mar 12, 2024

Of course Amy's singing skill is amazing. Not all the songwriting is good, and sometimes the instrumentation is just too basic. It would be better without the tacked-on string sections. Still pretty good though. Tracks 10 & 11 were a nice surprise; I really enjoyed them.   Mar 12, 2024

Great melancholic music and everything flows nicely. The vocal delivery could use more variety. Maybe if they improve in that regard they'll break into the elite tier.   Mar 12, 2024

Oh I just love everything on this album. His guitar solos are getting better. You can feel how he's trying to perfect his craft, and how he's getting closer.   Mar 12, 2024

The vocals are just right, and these songs are packed with intensity.   Mar 12, 2024

I was hoping it would be even better than Claustrophobic Dysentery, and I was 100% right. This devious work brings us into a completely horrifying nightmare in some moldy room somewhere, but it's also soothing & meditative. I know those don't make sense together, so this is why you need to just hear it. The field recordings used masterfully on this one too. Unforgettable. My pick of the week for certain.   Mar 10, 2024

Unbreakable is a very good song, but nothing else on this album comes close to it. It's the first full-length of the band, so this is understandable.   Mar 10, 2024

A good start for an excellent band, and I just can't wait for their 2024 album to come out.   Mar 10, 2024

Very good conveying of emotion, and a good use of the atmospheric BM sub-genre.   Mar 10, 2024

Did I become stuck in a Murphy's Law rut? I expected this album not to take the metal seriously enough. Good thing I was wrong. That excellent first track is exactly what I want from doomgaze. Now there's some variety on the album, and it's not like each song is on the same level, but it's good music throughout, and the singer has the perfect touch.   Mar 10, 2024

Now I'm learning about this veteran band by trying this excellent black metal album. Lost Momentum is especially excellent, and the rest is good too.   Mar 10, 2024

Wow, I love this album with a passion. It's very Motörhead, and it sounds exactly like that cover art.   Mar 10, 2024

Simple in a way that just makes all the songs work so efficiently, while creating the perfect space for thrash riffing. I prefer this one over Cause for Alarm. Their shows in the late 80s must've been insane.   Mar 10, 2024

Fun, and it makes me feel cool. There's a lot of electronica, and the vocals have a robot effect on them. I can enjoy that formula. Now it's time for Vvon Dogma I to write better material because a more powerful album along these lines would be just fantastic.   Mar 10, 2024

I absolutely love the instrumentation and absolutely hate the vocals; they just plain sound bad and they detract composition-wise as well. Though there is some great talent in this band, I don't ever want to hear this album again.   Mar 10, 2024

Piano & trap beats for an intro to a slam album? Now I've heard everything. He does go too far with the zany clips/samples, but I can forgive that when it's done in the name of fun and when the music is this good. Though it's playful & humorous, the slam is brutal & delectable, and that cover art fits perfectly. Good new project to watch in a vibrant sub-genre.   Mar 10, 2024

Good sludge by Eyrth here.   Mar 10, 2024

Better than their 2017 album. The doom parts and the death metal parts are both top tier. I really like this one, and I'd bet anything it'll be a new favorite among metalheads.   Mar 10, 2024

Mathcore & deathgrind, which is an excellent choice by this band because it's as viscerally engaging as good deathgrind, and as technical & as challenging as mathcore should be. It's also a frantic spewing of endless-feeling aggression. I totally loved it.   Mar 10, 2024

Commenced with a scream, and just so captivating. Yet another inspired work by a great artist.   Mar 10, 2024

The worst I can describe Hopiumforthemasses is that it's sticking completely to a formula that has worked for Minsitry for decades, and that the songs are essentially good but could've used a little retooling or maybe just a couple more takes with the intent to push it as far as it goes. Anyway, I was into it the whole way through, and the last track is the highlight.   Mar 10, 2024

Just beautiful, but I expect that from YOB. There hypnotic moments, and some sludge too.   Mar 10, 2024

Matthew Bell's Burzum-worship project. This album in particular dunkelheits from start to finish. The 2023 album, Skogshypnos, is noticeably better to my ear, but Whispers of Ancient Spells is still good.   Mar 10, 2024

죽어버린 남자다움에 오함마로 심폐소생을 시키는 앨범. 멈췄던 심장이 그들의 리프와 드럼을 따라 다시 뛰기 시작한다.   Nov 1, 2024

스래쉬 음반을 언급할 때 항상 다섯 손가락 안에 꼽는 앨범...모든 곡이 베스트일 정도로 완벽하다. 개인적으로 Stronger Than Hate을 가장 좋아한다.   Nov 6, 2024

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

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

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

완벽하다. 지금와서 painkiller 정도의 힘을 기대하는 것은 무리지만 관록과 경험으로 영그러진 놀라운 앨범을 냈다. 엔지니어링도 크게 한몫했다.   Oct 31, 2024

옛 모습이 그립다. 그래도 화이팅!   Nov 1, 2024

조금도 기대안했었는데….훌륭합니다!!   Nov 1, 2024

온갖 괴생물체들이 꿈틀거리는듯한 아트워크의 세계관이 펼쳐지며..끈적이는 불협화음 데스 사운드에 빨려든다.   Nov 6, 2024

The album finds Blood Incantation returning to their death metal roots with renewed psychedelic vigour, eager to tear apart familiar metallic ideas   Nov 6, 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

85-90 기본적으로 2010년 이후 이들의 앨범이 특별히 구리다고 생각이 든 적이 없다. 이번 앨범은 기다려도 라센이 안나와서 결국 수입반을 샀다. 전체적인 곡 수준, 연주 수준 모든게 긍정적 방향이다.   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

Very good work on guitars,a tight rhythm sectionand lots of keyboards effects the way only FATES WARNING teached to play !   Nov 7, 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
