Felicific Algorithm / Mushikeras
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
It's kind of good, but I've heard better from Corrupted before. I enjoyed the 3rd track the most, but this isn't their best release.   Oct 30, 2024
Force of Nature
preview  Challenger preview  Force of Nature (2024)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Heavy metal & speed metal with a great amount of flare. The first track is probably my favorite, but there are tons of memorable moments. Great songwriting, vocals, sound quality, lyrics, everything. Just their first full-length, and the future is super bright.   Oct 30, 2024
Stellar Fusion Genesis
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Of course this is a truly absurd sub-genre, but I appreciate the efforts of this one-man-band. Programmed drums that are not lazy - everything works out well.   Oct 29, 2024

Rabid & aggressive like we all expect. The guitar tones are especially nice, even a bit chunky.   Oct 29, 2024
Phase 3: Thrones and Dominions
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
That first track just does not work for me, and it had me worried the whole album would be bad, but the rest of the songs were quite good.   Oct 29, 2024

That's not a snare; it's a barrel of toxic waste, or it must be because there' something nice & vile in the air on these tracks. Intense & frenzied.   Oct 29, 2024
Dawn and All That Follows
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
I'm giving this a so-so 75, but it should be 85 or so. The singer decreases the value of the music. I wish they would get a new singer or just skip vocals altogether. The doomgaze & post elements of the composition are just fantastic, and there's a bit of sludge influence that works nicely as well. In the end, it could be better.   Oct 29, 2024
Interminable Pernitiousing
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
All right, a lot of those track titles make no sense, but slam does something to the brain, right? These guys are not messing around, and you can tell by the sound of these songs.   Oct 29, 2024

Good post & prog music here. Will be looking into their back-catalog more.   Oct 29, 2024

The World Without Us
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Bonjour Tristesse keeps the quality level with this release. I was kind of hoping for something in the league of their 2018 album, but not so far off that mark.   Oct 29, 2024
Static Age

Sleep Now, In Reverse
preview  Iress preview  Sleep Now, In Reverse (2024)
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
This became a major reward for my efforts to get a feel for the doomgaze micro-genre (which might become robust enough to drop the micro at some point). The singer gives us real master-class vocals done in very refined taste. This isn't some shallow pop star though; it's a real band playing songs they care a great deal about. Some of us might think the 'gaze' genres are too soft, but I found a great balance of heavy moments, and I absolutely loved the whole thing.   Oct 29, 2024
Samhain

Good work on this sludgey album. Last week I got caught up on the October Blayne Smith picks, and it's been a full on glorious month for those recommendations and for new releases in general as well.   Oct 29, 2024

Les Dires de l'​Â​me
level 15 Cosmicism   100/100
I find it hard to comprehend how Silhouette makes their music so beautiful. If anything, this is better than their 2021 album, which just boggles my mind. Now I think I hear some Amesoeurs influence in how the male vocals are a bit post-punk or hardcore punk. Anyway, this is exactly what I want to hear - the best I've heard so far this year, and it's almost November so........   Oct 28, 2024

Absence of War Does Not Mean Peace
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
Good BM that is a bit punky. Track 2's lyrics are sadly prejudiced, which does feel bad to discover. Besides that, the only negative point is that the album is stuck in a bit of a rut.   Oct 20, 2024
The Symbiont

Nice tech death with some obvious Meshuggah influence.   Oct 20, 2024
Per Aspera
preview  Tars preview  Per Aspera (2024)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
The first half of the album is noticeably better than the 2nd half, but these soundscapes really grab my attention. Track 5 is my favorite, but there's a ton of moments in the first half that just keep my spirit soaring. Unconventional in a very good way.   Oct 20, 2024
Abyss
preview  Ad Infinitum preview  Abyss (2024)
level 15 Cosmicism   65/100
A major disappointment for me. They switched to metalcore with breakdowns and rambling compositions that don't take full advantage of Melissa's vocal abilities. Actually, the harsh vocals feel awkward and out of place. With the clean vocals, it seems like they're trying to cut into Billie Eilish's fanbase, but they surely won't because everything on this album is very forced and weak. A sad development for a band with some fantastic earlier work.   Oct 20, 2024

Midnight Movies
preview  Acid Witch preview  Midnight Movies (2015)  [EP]
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
What do you think - are teenager-focused, mass-produced horror movies an art form to cherish or just a depressing commercial product? Either way, Acid Witch puts some real kick into these assorted soundtrack songs.   Oct 20, 2024
Through the Eyes of Regret
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Very melodic compositions with many moments to relish. The male vocals are okay, but they're kinda basic compared to the top-tier female vocals. A bit of a mismatch that makes it easier to figure how this album could be even better.   Oct 20, 2024
A Union of Spectres
preview  Aethyrick / Marras preview  A Union of Spectres (2024)  [Split]
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
Aethyrick is one of my favorite recent artists, and I really should be catching up with Marras's work. Aethyrick's songs are all as good as I expect, even though I expect a lot. Marras is good too, and just obliterated my mind with the climax of the last track. Nice match made in Hades.   Oct 20, 2024

신화 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

Handle With Care
level 15 metalnrock   85/100
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

level 10 sierrahotel   80/100
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

Nightfall in Middle-Earth

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.   2 days ago

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

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

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
