There's a lot of good points about this album. However, its a constant barrage of singing parts hurrying in one after another, sometimes edited to overlap to smash them even closer. It gets incessant and destroys the variety that exists in the instrumental composition. This drags it down from a 75 to a 70 for me.   Jan 19, 2024

Another great album by Malist, though As I Become Darkness is better. So his last album was anti-war, this one is about scorched earth, and now he has relocated to the Czech Republic. Let's draw overwhelmingly obvious political conclusions.   Jan 19, 2024

Good stuff by Beherit here, and it's just a demo.   Jan 19, 2024

I guess it's my cup of coffee.   Jan 19, 2024

Fiery evil abounds. I had an absolute blast. Tracks 8 to 11 (the Dawn of Satan's Millenium EP) is the better material in my opinion.   Jan 19, 2024

Great first album! I was surprised to find it's one of the best releases in their formidable discography. Just even more proof that hundreds of millions of metalheads will love Svart Crown to death if they just give them a try.   Jan 19, 2024

Wow, I did not expect it to be like this. It's like some of Beck's albums that surprise you by jumping to an unexpected genre of music, and then trick you again by blending 2 other genres together. Deathgrind plus a cornucopia. Contrastic indeed. My pick of the day.   Jan 19, 2024

For me the whole album maintains a menacing & foreboding aura that really touches my soul, and that is fitting, considering the topic of and background to the album title. The legendary title track that opens this album is by far the most melodically engaging to my ear. All the other songs are good too, but Transilvanian Hunger is a song in its own elite league.   Jan 19, 2024

I hear a lot of power metal on this, maybe around half. It's pretty good.   Jan 19, 2024

Their 2011 album is in a different league. Insecure feels to me closer to typical early 2000s death metal plus some atmosphere. It still has genuine emotion and is quite catchy. Not as original or impactful as their later work, but still good through & through.   Jan 19, 2024

There are lots of great moments on this album. Here & there, I felt like the songs could be better, but lacked that underlying Celtic Frost gusto that their music usually has. Maybe they could've tried another session for some of the songs... Anyway, still good overall.   Jan 17, 2024

A truly excellent album by Windir. Their rousing melodies are unique and the spirit of their songs deepened black metal's ethnic element, which artists from all cultures are now exploring. This last album is so close to a perfect score for me. Massive respect to Windir for keeping it this real for their whole career.   Jan 17, 2024

Wow, this is massively cathartic. Atmospheric BM, but maybe about 10 to 20% post-black metal. If that's a turn-off for you, you won't enjoy this as much as I do, but this is another new artist to keep on my radar.   Jan 17, 2024

The first track was a little weak to me, but this album gets right back into barrage of futuristic fury. There's a lot of kinds of electronic music in these songs. At times it sounds to me like trance metal with, and there is some djent. Anyway, the last track, the one with vocals, is especially nice, and there are many other great highlights.   Jan 17, 2024

It's kind of like cheating. Tom forms Hellhammer, hones his musical skills, and then the first Celtic Frost EP is this excellent. Every second of this release is a complete blast. It brings a huge smile to my face and I get right into the groove. The lyrics are like insane mutterings about evil & immorality - what more can you ask for? A satanic-looking cover?   Jan 17, 2024

I'm very glad I gave this band a try, because this album has great vocals, atmosphere, guitar tone, melodies, tightness, and even cover art. Lovecraftian themes always help too. These musicians really know how to imbue a song with urgency and emotional weight. Definitely recommended.   Jan 17, 2024

No surprise this album gets a lot of recognition for it's influential aspects and pitch black atmosphere. A lot of it is captivating, but the 25-minute track 5 and track 6 are totally skippable. For me, it's mostly for tracks 1,3, & 4.   Jan 17, 2024

The major flaw with this album is that no possible volume will ever be loud enough. I was blasting this into my ears like a maniac. Be forewarned.   Jan 15, 2024

I find it a mix of rambling composition and elements that work well. For me, it;s so-so.   Jan 15, 2024

The first six songs are all in heavy rotation on classic rock radio to this day, and with good reason. The 2nd half of this album really drags down my rating - talk about filler. Anyway, there is a million good things to say about the first half; lyrics that get playful with puns, dialects, & registers, awesome guitar work, beats and production that draw influence from new wave. Emphasizing the positive here.   Jan 15, 2024

I appreciate the integration of ambient music into the doom on this one even more than the other Slow albums I've heard so for. The sense of mourning and catharsis comes through perfectly.   Jan 15, 2024

So I thought this was going to be less atmospheric than the 1st album so I was bracing for disappointment. Anyway this astoundingly powerful and just as atmospheric. I'm not sure if I should perceive a shift in style, but Alluvial is shaping up to be a great band.   Jan 15, 2024

Cool music, and I can feel the theme of mysterious horror. This might be pretty close to groove metal as well.   Jan 15, 2024

Good songwriting. Excellent demonic atmosphere. The vocals get too croaky for me at some points. Their 2nd album was a bit better. Also, this album cover is wonderful and I want to know who created it. It looks like a simple landscape, but the background gets a bit tricky if you just pay attention. Done in extremely good taste. Even the logo's placement is top-tier composition.   Jan 12, 2024

Oh the pain. When the first track started, I thought it might turn out better than I was expecting. Unfortunately this is all as bad as that How You Remind Me song that got airplay. The singer is so bad, only staying in this one annoying tone. The lyrics are 100% embarrassing. The melodies and drumming are anemic, not committing to anything interesting. Track 10 is almost okay, but this is Nickelback living up to its reputation.   Jan 12, 2024

My pick of the day. Impressive from start to finish as I often expect with progressive metal, but I found the whole album built to a conclusion on its final moment, like I felt all the songwriting had this end in mind. This way of going out gave the whole experience an emotional weight. Definitely memorable and packed with awesome moments.   Jan 12, 2024

I enjoyed the whole thing. I hear influence from Koяn, Soulfly, Sepultura, & maybe early Deftones. These guys take their musicianship seriously. I love the funkiness. The rapping is good, the harsh vocals are good, but the clean vocals are weak in comparison. I can only wonder what to think about the French lyrical content. It does get a bit samey a couple times, but I'm super glad I gave this band a chance.   Jan 12, 2024

The speed and the brisk feeling to the delivery gave me tons of energy. I really love this EP. Hidden gem from the 90s.   Jan 12, 2024

I like the 1st album a bit more even though Gods of War has much better recording. Anyway, it's still a blast, and respect to the originators.   Jan 12, 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
