Wow. This album goes everywhere. Yes it's black metal, but also folk metal, big band, classical, a somewhat hip-hop industrial track, classical, thrash, and field recordings including an old-fashioned newsreel segment. All done well with tons of passion.   Feb 12, 2024

Very satisfying slam here. The guest musicians are also from the very big groups of the genre. Very well done - almost going to move the score up to 90.   Feb 12, 2024

If you want some deathcore themed after Darksouls, then you might want to give this a try. It's not very good though - a lot like Lorn Shore, but I don't feel the intense emotions and extravagance that Lorna Shore provides.   Feb 12, 2024

I actually got so into the instruments that I didn't quite notice the vocals for a while. The vocals are too croaky, and they drag down my enjoyment a little. Still good though.   Feb 12, 2024

This was the surprise of my morning. Stoner doom that really kept the energy level up. Definitely recommended.   Feb 12, 2024

Good atmospheric BM in here. It does focus more on the death doom which, I think, leans toward Swallow the Sun stylewise. There are some sophomoric lyrics in here. I get into the music but not too intensely. A good place to start for a rather new band.   Feb 4, 2024

Ooph! I didn't expect this to be even better than the 2024 EP. Definitely an And-Justice-for-All sound to these awesome songs, and the mix of death growls and clean vocals is done extremely well. I'm close to moving this one up to 90/100. The highlight of my Friday here. Very easy to recommend this one to anyone reading this comment.   Feb 4, 2024

Track 3 is a great example of a new artist following Lustre's example to great effect. The 2nd track was a nice foreshadowing of the style Nebula Orionis would develop in later releases, I can now recognize. Somewhat still a beginner, but this is a nice EP.   Feb 4, 2024

The idiotic controversy over CJ's firing drags down any respect I could have for both him and the other band members. Whoever I'm listening to, the vocals on this album are annoying and I just want them to stop. Some eerie playing combined with heaviness works well a couple of times, but I was watching the clock, hoping for this album to end. Not terrible, but bad.   Feb 4, 2024

The energy is fantastic on this album.   Feb 4, 2024

Extremely heavy hardcore here. It has that dirty-punk-venue feel to it. To my ear, pretty good.   Feb 2, 2024

All right, back to instrumental for Ethir Anduin. As it just so happens, this maybe beats Loneliness of my Life - if not, it's at least equal to it. I think I'm hearing some Swallow the Sun influence in these melodies. Great hour-and-a-half release here. Those minutes flew right by.   Feb 2, 2024

Good early album by Ethir Anduin.   Feb 2, 2024

Some black metal is blended in here, but anyway, these are some great energetic songs. I've been catching up on my Metal Monthly recommendations for January, and having a fantastic time. Very good crust punk.   Feb 2, 2024

Tight execution on dramatic song structures. These guys must be real masters. This concise & brutal death thrash album really kills that pomegranate. So, yeah, they're worthy of that band name.   Feb 2, 2024

This weird & challenging album is not for everyone, but there is a lot of impressive instrumentation as well as some humor in the mix.   Feb 2, 2024

Here's my pick of the day. It's also another band for me to catch up on. I find the doom elements somewhat on the sludge side, which is fine with me. There's also some industrial metal and some electronica. Anyway, 'Despair' is a great word for these powerful songs; the emotional distress is palpable & believable. Highly recommended.   Feb 2, 2024

So beautiful it's almost painful. Olhava puts the vocalist in his place. The raspy screams are way in the background in the mix, used the way most bands would use synth. This is a great album - I think better than their 2022 one.   Feb 2, 2024

The clean vocals just drone on, more like talking than singing, and that's the only thing that drags down the quality significantly on this album. The screaming is good, the lyrics are a mix of good & bad, & the rolling nu metal guitarwork is done exactly right. To be honest, I really hope they did some albums without those annoying droning vocals.   Jan 31, 2024

The last song is kinda okay, but this album does not work. The clean vocals are straight bad, the harsh vocals are just a tiny bit better, and a lot of the songs end without accomplishing much. The breakdowns are not heavy or exciting; they're just the slow parts in mid-tempo songs. They do have some nice syncopation, and that's probably the only good thing going on here.   Jan 31, 2024

Eventually it gets to the point, which is good, but it wastes wwwwaaayyyy too much time.   Jan 31, 2024

Doom with an organ and beauty & the beast vocals, done very well.   Jan 31, 2024

It's some kind of magic. That 2nd song was going deeper & deeper into its hypnotic groove. Then all of a sudden I felt like I was about to cry. I don't know what part of the song or what instrument made me feel anything, but my whole torso relaxed and I became more still. If you're still saying, 'whatever, Cosmicism,' just remember that Farvann likes it too.   Jan 31, 2024

I feel like I had a good introduction to this band with this EP. I look forward to hearing their more recent work.   Jan 31, 2024

These musicians do the perfect job at distracting me with all that heaviness and brutality. Then it feels like a discovery when I actually notice how much musicality and how many ideas there are swimming in that sea of metal. Great work.   Jan 31, 2024

I like his other projects, so I'm not surprised I liked this. The first 3 tracks are good, and tracks 4 & 5 had me reeling with the sensation of maniacal nighttime raving that this music embodies.   Jan 31, 2024

Very good speed metal. There's a bit of thrash in here too. The higher notes sound a bit distant to me. Anyway, I had a great time.   Jan 31, 2024

All 3 words in the band name start with K, so I'm highly suspicious there is some garbage-tier prejudice behind this project. However, what I hear is quite good black metal with other genres of music woven in gorgeously.   Jan 29, 2024

The 1st release from a great side-project by a member of Falls of Rauros. Rhûn is also a Tolkienesque name. Anyway, I really loved each song from this one, and I'm starting to think the last track is my favorite.   Jan 29, 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
