Typho-Tantric Aphorisms from the Arachneophidian Qur'an
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
My musical pick of the day. Also, those song titles are my literary pick of the day. What an interesting album cover, but I wish it was better executed. The whole thing is a hybrid of far-flung human cultures, and is probably immensely offensive to so many people - as all of we people deserve.   Nov 10, 2023
La solitude dans l'agitation
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
There is some very high-quality post-black metal and atmospheric BM too on this album. However, there's a big rookie mistake; track 1 is an intro track, and track 2 starts with it's own kinda unnecessary intro. It would definitely be a higher score without that mistake considering how it dilutes the emotional impact.   Nov 10, 2023
Koldt betragtes verden
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Beautifully harsh 90s BM sounds. Don't expect atmospheric, but this is a must-listen for everyone. Man, that guitar tone. It really made my morning.   Nov 10, 2023
Of Fire and Infinity
preview  Déhà preview  Of Fire and Infinity (2020)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
A bizarre mix of musical genres. I think this is a challenging album for almost any fan of any genre. You need some patience and then later on everything culminates with a huge payoff. My score is kind of a compromise. I can tell it's working well at any given moment, but it's very hard to decide how good it is as a whole unit. Anyway, Déhà always brings me on an adventure.   Nov 10, 2023
Caelum Et Infernum
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Just discovering this band and I'm really glad I gave them a try. Please don't be turned off by some awkward screams early in the album; 99% of this album is very good music. The riffs are excellent throughout and the emotion is powerful and genuine. I had a very thrashy day today and Infernal Throne adds to the 2023's list of great thrash albums.   Nov 9, 2023
Dystopia
preview  Megadeth preview  Dystopia (2016)
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
The 1st half of the album had mostly forced-sounding songs with weak unfeeling singing. Many of those tracks seem to end before accomplishing much even if the playing is rather technical. Later on the quality increases significantly (even Dave's singing). I especially liked Post American World and Conquer or Die! Very solid 2nd half.   Nov 9, 2023

Ardor for Black Mastery
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
A./Ayloss has a ton of projects. With this one he just changed styles to blackened thrash. Anyway it's very good in a gruff, surly, and burly kind of way. Have a seat with that knight on the cover and listen to the whole album; it's all well-played with strong emotion.   Nov 9, 2023

level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
I like this one slightly more than Coronet Juniper. On Longhena there is great variety in track lengths, and there are playful jumps to other types of slower music, but they feel like fitting contrasts. This whole thing is impressive and I can feel it giving me strength. Great job, Gridlink.   Nov 7, 2023

Unearthing the Void
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
Perfect production, generously thick atmosphere, & it's all done with an enthusiasm for the slam genre that I can clearly hear. This album is for when I'm in a very rare mood. However, I just love how all this stuff is so offensive to most people.   Nov 7, 2023
Nature Morte
level 15 Cosmicism   100/100
Each song is burning with such a bright blue flame that everything in sight is singed pitch black. The vocals immensely powerful and the composition gives a real feeling of urgency. At times, the music gets about 40% to 45% toward depressive territory, but it's still decidedly on the atmospheric side. This is a great mode to be in. I've been trying argue myself out of giving it a perfect score, but I keep losing the argument. 100/100 it is.   Nov 7, 2023
A Virtual World
preview  Metalite preview  A Virtual World (2021)
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
Each song achieves a great sound and it has good energy throughout. More variety in singing melody would make it better. Anyway, nothing is particularly bad, but I didn't feel any moment was great.   Nov 7, 2023
American Gothic
preview  Wayfarer preview  American Gothic (2023)
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
Another well-known atmospheric BM releases a great album. This has been happening a lot in recent months. Anyway, these songs give a great feeling of conflict & danger through the western sound.   Nov 7, 2023

Manifest
preview  Amaranthe preview  Manifest (2020)
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
First of all, "The breakdown goes boom" - seriously? That line sounded like a good idea in your heads, Amaranthe? Second of all, the ballad, Crystalline, is a little weaker than the other songs, especially in terms of tightness. Besides those 2 points, this album is pretty good.   Nov 6, 2023
Militant : Penitent : Triumphant
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
My pick of the day. An overall solid album rather close in style to the debut. Track 2, Punishment Nailed Deep particularly blew me away. I actually made a Farvann face, and I can't stop replaying the track. Thank you so much Faidra.   Nov 6, 2023
Glory Riders
preview  Savage preview  Glory Riders (2023)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
A very dramatic feel to this 80s style heavy metal. I hear a lot of talk that it's W.A.S.P-worship. Though I don't know W.A.S.P's sound very well, I think all the talk is correct.   Nov 6, 2023
Sickness Particles Gleam
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
I really loved the cavernous feel to this death doom. A little searching and we can find a great number of good doom bands.   Nov 6, 2023
Vertumnus Caesar
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
A good introduction to this band for me, I think. Heavy metal with strong 80s trademarks all mixed with the classic black metal that came after it in a much different market. Combine that weird combo with spooky undertones, and it's a really unique approach they have - definitely not sounding like anyone I can think of.   Nov 6, 2023
De Dunklas Sorgeakt (Ett Nordiskt Afvsked...)
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
Drums & vocals were recorded 7 years after the guitars? How is the result this beautiful? This one goes in a totally atmospheric direction, but in a frantic chaotic way. Also, the first part with clean guitars is wonderful in how it takes long enough to develop a mysterious creepy feeling into a dramatic movement. Super long and super powerful.   Nov 3, 2023
Aftertaste
preview  Helmet preview  Aftertaste (1997)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
I had an absolute blast. The songwriting is highly motivated and thoughtful. I feels like a live show, played with great timing to inject a sense of urgency to every melody.   Nov 3, 2023
Toward the Castle
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
I'm very positive about this album. If he could write conclusions and stop all the fading out, I'd give it an 85 for sure. Next evolution would be more interesting percussion, but at this level it's still enjoyable with a great spooky and vampiric feel to it.   Nov 3, 2023
The Simulation
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
This album gets me moving and there is a lot of emotion & mood soaked into the songs.   Nov 3, 2023
The Eternal Reign
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
Redoing old songs is cool only sometimes, including this because they're enjoyable. The style does feel a little more simple than most of their other stuff. I'll have to check out The New Reign, but this is good with some rebellious energy.   Nov 3, 2023
A Gesture Towards Ribbitdom
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Comfy synth can be great. I think this would be better with a few more original tracks. Just 6 originals and 2 remixes doesn't give me enough. A lot of these tracks are as nice and magical as the Slumbering Sounds of the Frog Fellowship album.   Nov 3, 2023
Bath House
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
Extremely evocative short songs, and I keep finding more depth and nuance the more I listen to them. There's a lot of tracks that start off with a somewhat gothic synth / new wave part, and then keep that driving beat throughout the sludgy vocals and hardcore guitarwork or some other arrangement of these elements. Here I discover another band that has been doing very interesting things I now want to hear more of.   Nov 2, 2023

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

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

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

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
