Very lo-fi and the riffs are evil & gorgeous. Vocals are distorted like Burzum, and to good effect. The ambient parts are nice enough that I refuse to skip them. (Also black 'n roll comes right out of nowhere in a fun way for a moment.) Solid BM from a brand spanking new artist.   Nov 21, 2023

Nice lo-fi black metal that turns half punk here & there. Sometimes the instruments sound a bit confused & awkward, and I'm not sure if that's intentional. Anyway, that's just some short moments. The rest is good and there's a lot of moxie.   Nov 21, 2023

Super ambitious album that goes into all genres of music, and I can tell these guys are sometimes just wiping all genres from their minds and composing unique original ideas. Maybe the most important point is how staggeringly beautiful all these songs are.   Nov 18, 2023

Super cathartic post-metal. No vocals here, and these songs are better without vocals. I hope Déhà makes more music in this style and tries to make it even better. Anyway, It's a good short album.   Nov 18, 2023

Fierce & evil in a way that implies hardship, suffering, & struggle. That icy intro does a lot to set the mood. Highlights like the wicked laughing at the end of track 2 show they really put thought & effort in. More importantly, they did the same with the instrumentation which is full of interesting twists & turns while keeping the fury & attitude that define great black metal.   Nov 18, 2023

I really liked this traditional doom. The vocals are very distant and full of echo, and I understand how this might turn off a lot of listeners. I do feel that these songs kinda de-emphasize the vocals and relegate them to a supporting role of aiding the mood, so it works well to my ear. If that sounds cool to you, I'll bet you'll like this.   Nov 18, 2023

Pretty good summer-feeling songs, but the repeated fade-outs bring my score down 5 points. Please just write an end to your compositions. Also, the final ambient track is done so well, I'm amazed it was actually 8 minutes.   Nov 18, 2023

Well-played deathgrind songs. Even though there are goregrind themes in the music, it didn't detract from my experience. Actually everything on this album is either fun or energizing. Nice.   Nov 18, 2023

Symphonic & gothic done very well - I'm very glad to say, because I've been finding so many albums of this type to be weakened by commercial influence. Nothing really negative I hear on this one; just consistently pleasant music in songs that range from good to excellent.   Nov 18, 2023

Excellent music that gives a striking dark mood. The instrumentation is almost soothing as it keeps switching back and forth between complementary types of rapid heaviness. One section of barfy vocals early on is a bit absurd. For the rest of this wonderful album, the music is more self-aware about how ridiculous the genre is, and that makes me just enjoy the fury. This is only for adventurous people, but it's excellent.   Nov 18, 2023

Great urgent feeling to the vocals. The melodies are full of danger & wrath. I'm guessing some people won't approve of that album tittle, but it's still a good EP.   Nov 18, 2023

There's a lot of interesting musical ideas going on in this album. The title track is a hypnotic & groovy masterpiece. Recommended.   Nov 18, 2023

Spooky floating feelings combined with evil melodies. At times I hear Elffor's influence. Anyway, it's a good album early on in their career.   Nov 17, 2023

Based on the cover I expected a frostier more brisk sound. What I got was Summoning-worship but in a darker tone. Pretty good.   Nov 17, 2023

A-tier vocals, A-tier songwriting, A-tier production, and S-tier guitarwork that makes this album truly a joy to listen to. Some of us might groan when we read 'melodeath & groove metal' because it's like saying overly commercial Western Europe & overly commercial USA, but all the music on this one is in such good taste that you'll like it even if you hate those genres.   Nov 17, 2023

Don't they know that auto-tune sounds like filthy garbage? A huge recording industry with 'pro' producers and they don't have their heads on straight. The songs are mostly disjointed: there's nothing connecting the metal, pop, and trance sections, like it's clips of different songs. Also, there's almost zero emotion here. Some elements by themselves are okay, but this is not good.   Nov 15, 2023

The worst I can say about this album is that a few songs are somewhat mediocre and the vocals could use more range. On the good side, the songs are mostly fun & punky, the riffs work well, and the drums get pretty interesting a bunch of times. I even like the short jazz track. Good work, Helmet.   Nov 15, 2023

Music this homemade can be this good, and we all need to remind ourselves of that fact every so often. Melankoli proves it to us with this truly inspired bleak & icy soundscape, even colder than the cover photo. The synth & keyboards all have the perfect sound, and the composition masterfully works toward vast clearings of emotional release.   Nov 15, 2023

Overall thoroughly good, though I didn't find much of it excellent. Maybe I'd like the songs even more with a different mix; I love the awesome fast riffing, but I can only hear that it's actually happening when the other instruments take a break. Still interested in hearing more from this band - great style.   Nov 15, 2023

Another very good album. I think the progressive metal and atmospheric black metal descriptors apply to this one too. Another point is that Shylmagoghnar has a very unique sound. Anyway, top-tier composition and good production + recording. My pick of the day.   Nov 14, 2023

Pretty good. For me, the space theme does not come through in the sound. There are some nice moments here & there in this ambient-focused atmospheric BM album.   Nov 14, 2023

I did not know their early work was so Summoning-influenced. Track 2 and Track 6 the title track are the highlights for me. Good atmospheric black metal album.   Nov 14, 2023

Some cools songs on this, including Forever from Abstract Void's 2023 album. I'll be checking out Lumnos.   Nov 13, 2023

I always loved the Abstract Void sound, and finally B.M. has brought it to its true potential with these absolutely incredible songs. The outrun + pink + palm trees + grids motif now feels like a permanent symbol for synthwave, and albums like this put some real quality behind the symbol. Thank you Abstract Void for this album I've been listening to again & again.   Nov 12, 2023

What a complete mess this album is. The parts of songs don't sound like they fit together. The vocals come in unnecessarily and just fill in space out of obligation. I can hear how some instrumentation is actually impressive and would be beautiful in isoaltion, but then it's all assembled in unnatural-feeling compositions. The bluesy intro to Don't Turn Your Back... is great, but then it doesn't continue into the song. Overall, meh.   Nov 12, 2023

Similar style to Averses but, amazingly, he improved it even further. On this album of rich grinding guitar tones that wash over you, there's an emotional core that burns even hotter than the first album. While staying in atmospheric, the songs also feature elements of depressive and melancholic. Also, there's no unnecessarily long ambient part; the last quiet instrumental track is tight, to the point, and has interesting melodies & changes. Pure perfection from Déhà.   Nov 12, 2023

In every part of this album I find the instruments doing something interesting, and the tone stays viscerally emotional. My ears tell me this is not played by a band recording their 1st album. Silly ears - I need to stop listening to them.   Nov 12, 2023

A wonderful surprise, seeing as it's a big improvement on their 1st full-length. The vocal melodies and instrumentation range from good to great. Track 4, Her Torment, is captivating. I will keep listening to the whole album very regularly; it just feels so right.   Nov 10, 2023

Good satisfying sludge that makes me say, "Man sludge is a heavy genre."   Nov 10, 2023

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
