I caught a glimpse of that album cover, and just had to listen. The surprise for me was that it's a new project by some musicians we all know well. This is also my album of the day by far. The atmosphere is heavy and it feels like a tour through a series of emotional traumas. You might feel a bit of punk influence too, if the sadness doesn't camouflage it. Highly recommended for everyone.   Jan 10, 2024

I love the style and it puts me in a great mood, but this is nowhere near as evocative as his awesome 2022 EP.   Jan 10, 2024

A lot of guys used to make fun of Scott Weiland's vocals on this and say anyone can do that voice, but this is the start of a great journey that expanded his range, technique, and charisma. Some songs sound like Alice in Chains & Soundgarden done not as well, but many are good and full of energy. Creep is a great and rare example of a slow song done well. The drumming was better than I expected, and I enjoyed the whole album.   Jan 10, 2024

Tracks 8 and 12 are okay, and track 4 is amusing, but this is mostly weak boring & embarrassing with loose instrumentation and predictable everything. The male vocalist doesn't have anywhere near enough charisma, especially with that mediocre vocal range. The female vocals are noticeably better, but she only does 5 or 6 percent of the album. Disappointing.   Jan 10, 2024

Thinking outside the box and showing some non-metal influences while keeping the end product 100% metal. It sounds close to blackened death metal to me. Anyway, it's great and I'll need to check out their first album now.   Jan 10, 2024

First of all, this album is mostly metalcore and a lot of the tracks feel like forced clichéd filler, including the title track. The singing stays stuck in the same tone & emotion, which feels weird for clean vocals. Please take that effect off her voice as well. Track 5 is like an R&B song with hard rock in back of it, but it's maybe the best on the album. I like track 7 as well, and the rest is meh for me.   Jan 10, 2024

Some good instrumentation here, but I don't hear enough melodic themes to hold the songs together and give them a purpose. The artist identifies as sludge & death doom, but it does lean toward heavy psych. Anyway, with a different plan of attack there could be a better album in the future.   Jan 10, 2024

Yet another great album by Immolation. The grimness is so thick I'm left with an uncanny feeling that even the sound penetrated through it.   Jan 10, 2024

This is gripping melancholic music, and the cover art is in very good taste.   Jan 10, 2024

Some sections of post-rock on this one as well. Pretty good.   Jan 7, 2024

I can tell they were staying true to their musical vision. Also, its very impressive and has a great shocking feeling. I don't need all that silence near the end, but I can just hit stop, so I won't deduct any points.   Jan 7, 2024

More spacious, cinematic, and unorthodox than the first part. Best when listened to in order.   Jan 7, 2024

I like this more than the 2nd EP in this series. Hypnotizing but really intense. Definitely a band to to pay close attention to.   Jan 7, 2024

Extremely pure, stripped-down, and straight-forward thrash. Definitely good quality.   Jan 7, 2024

A nice step up from the 2005 album. Some songs are good and some are so-so. Somewhat of an Alice in Chains sound, so it's quite different from the early albums.   Jan 7, 2024

What an excellent album. Sick atmosphere, and the groaning that playfully breaks up the groove of the hard-hitting Quintessence makes it even more memorable, maybe my favorite track. It's all great except for the last track, which is not bad though. Perfect album cover that matches the feel of the music. I really love this record.   Jan 7, 2024

This one focuses on the frigid atmosphere the genre often aspires to. Also, I liked this EP more than I thought I was going to.   Jan 4, 2024

Wow, I really loved this album. It has a lot of variety for just 35 minutes, and the passion is turned up to the maximum. This 1993 classic is my pick of the day.   Jan 4, 2024

This earlier album is more similar to other well-known symphonic bands such as Epica. I like how as Eleine's discography progresses, their own style becomes more & more apparent. This album however is quite solid, and Madeleine's singing is top-tier - not just voice, but delivery and real emotion.   Jan 4, 2024

This one really gets into a groove. It's heavy enough and has many distinct interesting highlights. I've been putting off discovering more about this band for too long, and now I'm becoming a big fan.   Jan 4, 2024

With the quiet parts and slow parts, this album requires some patience like doom often does. Anyway, it does pay off so I'm glad I had the chance to listen, but it's far from the excellence of later albums.   Jan 4, 2024

Incredible. This band influenced the bands that took industrial and goth into the heavy zone, and then Killing Joke goes as heavy as the heaviest, and even angrier. Some 25-year-old bands don't pay attention when the studios tell them to start sucking.   Jan 3, 2024

It's really great how this blends in with the 1985 pop sound, but it's much more subversive and well-rounded than some normies might expect at first listen. Quite different from the debut, but I enjoyed it just as much.   Jan 3, 2024

Lively and playful, and a great debut. Even in 1980, post-punk achieved more variety than punk but kept 100% of the punky energy and attitude. This release seems to be very influential, and I can see why.   Jan 3, 2024

When Gigachad came into existence through a shimmering portal already fully adult, he said, "Don't bother yourself with the pregnancy Mom; I'll just come out this way." There was cheering and confetti in the whole time zone. Also, the beginning of this album was somehow playing right out of thin air.   Jan 3, 2024

DDDDAAAAARRRRRKK all the way through. Almost as good as 2022's, but I love both. Brilliant & purposeful new band.   Jan 3, 2024

Wow, I loved this. The album is a bit stronger around the 2nd half but is still all very good. Its a great fusion of genres, and yes I feel that I could really use more Danzig-style vocal swagger and deathrock influence in current music, but then again I doubt many will do it this well. Thanks to Daniel Dekay from Banger for bringing this one to our attention.   Jan 3, 2024

Tons of the solos and other guitar passages are really wonderful. As a whole album, I feel it's good / not great, but it's a top notch chill-out. Thank you Black Sky Giant!   Jan 3, 2024

Bjes keeps up the same level excellent music on their full albums; that's 2 releases I'm ranking 90/100 for 2023. Again it's so melancholic, depressive, evil, and angry. The gruff vocals on this are usually for surlier music, but from Bjes that gruff voice is melancholic despite the vocal tone. It's all these deeply sad melodies that make everything work so well.   Jan 2, 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
