Cosmicism 85/100I enjoyed this one a bit more than Manifest. There is a lot of great moments, and I especially love Serendipity. On a couple of songs, the riffs feel not dynamic enough, but maybe that's just me. More certainly, the 3 vocalists sometimes leave the songs too crowded with rushed singing. Many singers can be cool, but it needs to be balanced right or the flow of the song suffers. A couple of complaints, but still quite good. Jan 2, 2024
Cosmicism 85/100Good variety in melody and feeling but all kept within the dark satanic atmosphere, and the album title really brightens my day. If Belphegor continues scaring everyone's parents for as long as teenagers want, then these musicians will need to make a deal with the devil for eternal life to keep up the evil work. Dec 30, 2023

Cosmicism 65/100I tried hard to like this album, but I failed. The best I could do was to feel like some parts were 'okay.' I can't say any particular moment is terrible, but most of the time I was rolling my eyes and waiting for it to be over. I agree it's better than Violence Unimagined. Dec 30, 2023

Cosmicism 95/100I've found that there's not much war metal out there, but there's still a lot of good war metal. And this album really blew my mind. The chaotic fast parts and the dark mid-slow parts complement each other perfectly. The drumming is so astounding I could barely believe I was hearing it. I can't say enough good things about this one. Dec 30, 2023

Cosmicism 80/100First of all, I really like this music and how basing it on a survival horror video game makes it memorable and entertaining. Some negative points though - the base drops muffle the other instruments for a second or so. Also, some of the voice acting is amateurish. Even considering those downsides, I still enjoy the whole album. The vocals are performed right, and the instrumentation is a blast. Dec 30, 2023

Cosmicism 85/100This grungy and extremely catchy album is Alice-in-Chains-worship, and proudly so, and it's done well. Track 1 just does not leave brain. Dec 30, 2023
Cosmicism 80/100Rather good, and now I'm curious about earlier releases from these stoner veterans. Dec 30, 2023
Cosmicism 80/100Good thrash. There is some grungy alternative metal on here too, kinda following the fad, if a bit late, but it's done well too. Nothing I feel is great, and nothing terrible. Pretty good. Dec 28, 2023

Cosmicism 90/100Almost as good as their 2016 album. There's very good melancholy, and it gets slightly into post-black metal territory some times. Then there's some Spanish guitar. Very good all around. Dec 28, 2023
Cosmicism 90/100I don't care that I've already listened to albums with that same painting on the cover. Why not? Anyway, this is straight black metal done right. Also, people studying Anglo-Saxon get some practice. Black metal fans should not miss out on this one. Dec 28, 2023
Cosmicism 85/100Good bluesy stoner metal with a rough production sound that I really like. Dec 28, 2023
Cosmicism 85/100It sounds like they're playing in a long narrow hallway with sheets of metal covering the walls. Besides the bad recording, this is a very good thrash album with exquisite riffs and tons of passion, and it's all well written. Even the ballad is flawless. Good job by Testament. Dec 28, 2023

Cosmicism 90/100Slightly better than the 2022 album because this one feels bigger and more of a journey despite having almost the same running time. I wish so many tracks didn't fade out; it starts getting annoying. Anyway, the melodies and hypnotic nature of this album are astounding, and the outro track is a surprising treat with it's jazzy character. Dec 28, 2023
Cosmicism 90/100Man, Barker's drumming is fantastic on this album! At some points it's more like plain symphonic metal as opposed to symphonic BM, which must anger some trve kvlt people. Anyway, the symphonic element is good, the Twisted Sister cover brings a smile to my face, and everything else is either good or great. Dec 28, 2023
Cosmicism 85/100It looks like Neurosis gets a lot less attention in recent years, but this most recent album is really solid & pleasing to my ears. Some mid-career albums are better, but I give a definite positive review to Fires Within Fires. Dec 28, 2023
Cosmicism 90/100I started listening and said to myself, 'People should stop saying NIN's music can be so challenging; this is just satisfying music in a rich soundscape.' Then it started to get extremely challenging, especially with how the EP ends, but yes I really loved it. Dec 25, 2023

Cosmicism 85/100Good slam I had the pleasure of listening to. To be honest, I'm surprised this sub-genre has been so good to me lately, but maybe Slam Worldwide is leading me to all the best examples of the style. Anyway, definitely put this on your stereo if those evil aliens come to experiment on you. Dec 25, 2023
Cosmicism 85/100Some of the lyrics and song titles feel sophomoric to me, but the riffs and the flow of the songs are just great, and this makes for a powerful album that leaves a bunch of its melodies in my head for the rest of the day. This is a solo project by a member of Borgne, and here he focuses on a very different type of BM, and I'm glad chooses not to be in a rut. Also, good cover art and a master-tier logo. Dec 25, 2023
Cosmicism 80/100I liked the variety on this album, and I find it pretty good quality, but nothing here is exhilarating like their 1992 album. Dec 25, 2023
Cosmicism 85/100I came here looking for deathgrind, but I only hear old school death metal with film score interludes. However, I liked the whole record. Dec 25, 2023

Cosmicism 90/100This is war metal with some noise as well. These genres are done very well here, so there's cacophony & insanity. I highly recommend this EP to fans of One Direction and BTS so I can howl with maniacal laughter as I watch them squirm in pure horror & disgust. Dec 25, 2023
Cosmicism 80/100This atmospheric black metal project switched gears here and did a general overview of BM sub-genres. It leans toward early second-wave songwriting and tone, but there's a little atmospheric BM, and at some points the synth is used in a more symphonic-sounding way. Not as exciting as their 2022 albums, but still good. Dec 25, 2023
Cosmicism 75/100There's a definite progression in quality throughout this band's career. Though this 2nd album is not perfect (some weak lyrics and song structures in a few places), it's listenable all the way through and it has tons of emotion, especially thanks to Lena the vocalist. Also note that her charisma and vocal power are even better these days. Dec 25, 2023
Cosmicism 90/100Wonderful feelings in this album. Sometimes, I felt like the songs should've been longer, but maybe that's just my preference. Anyway, Widek is a consistent artist, and his guitarwork makes a direct connection to my emotions. Very well done. Dec 25, 2023
Cosmicism 85/100Rather unique and pretty good. For as rich as the narrator's voice is, I can't help but feel that his Cockney accent is kind of anachronistic with that θ-f merger, which some people would be bound to laugh at. Anyway, I can ignore that fact and just enjoy the delightful tale of Armageddon. Dec 21, 2023

Cosmicism 90/100Slightly better than Abîmes I. Here it's great funeral doom that shifts into death doom a few times. This adds great variety in tone & tempo and is a major part of why such a long album works so well. Dec 21, 2023

Harlequin 90/100신화 속 폭력적인 이면에 대한 감정적 해석의 전달. 에픽한 소재들을 다루면서도 그것에 매몰되어 주객이 전도되지 않게끔 느낌과 표현에 철저히 집중한 듯하며, 그런 면모가 감정적이되 냉철하게 와닿는다. Oct 31, 2024

metalnrock 85/10085-90, 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

sierrahotel 80/100어쿠스틱 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

metalnrock 95/10090-95. 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

metalnrock 100/10095-100 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

metalnrock 90/10085- 90 채스틴의 기타가 바삐 움직인다. 당시의 다른 기타리스트와는 다른 맛이 있다. 레더 레온은 참 좋은 보컬같다라고 생각을 또 하게 되었다. Oct 27, 2024

BernardoCasarin 95/100Their 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

metalnrock 85/10080-90. 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

metalnrock 85/10085-90 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

metalnrock 90/10085-95. 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

metalnrock 80/100훌륭한 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
