I'm just learning about this band and I'm thoroughly impressed. Excellently played. Also the blackened vocals are done perfectly and are just pure pleasure to listen to, whereas blackened vocals are usually just for fitting with the atmosphere for me. Another great new straight black metal release just a week after Asagraum. This autumn has been intense.   Nov 2, 2023

Although I'm giving it the same score, it's slightly better than Ragnarok. Spine is a nice short album with great production and soundscapes. Just a tiny bit of black metal mixed in with singer-songwriter and new wave.   Nov 2, 2023

This album has a bunch of excellent moments, but I wouldn't call any one track completely excellent. The firs song is in atmospheric/depressive territory, and the last song is in a folky Agalloch style. All in all, a good album like every other black metal album I listened to today. It's not my fault I have to give out all these high scores.   Oct 31, 2023

To me, this sounds tight, well played, & well written. It's all melodic BM, except for the last song, which is blackened doom. I am very impressed with this band.   Oct 31, 2023

It's all good, but Track 3, The Justice of Gnashing Teeth is so powerful & captivating, maybe one of the best songs this year.   Oct 31, 2023

Very good and very very evil. Funny how those go together. I feel some Second Wave on this album too but the First Wave sound is what jumps out at me more.... and then there's the bonus track 'Hail Bathory', which is brilliant.   Oct 31, 2023

Don't worry; Wata survived the cover photo. That's good news because Boris is an absolute legend of a band for making top-tier music like this album, meticulously, thoughtfully, & with audible inspiration. The wobbling & popping distortion in the beginning is followed by 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond' feeling stuff later on. In 5 minutes 40 minutes magically pass and then they wrap up like the pros they are. Fantastic.   Oct 30, 2023

I loved the whole thing. Great death metal melodies and grindcore speed. The message of Anti-Homophobe was a pleasant surprise. These songs must really be in the hearts of the band members, because every moment sounds so golden.   Oct 28, 2023

Good emotion, and the album has a very live feel to it. That cover art is a triumph as well - execution and inspiration are top tier, not similar in appearance to most deathgrind covers but it conveys the same type of feeling. Good underground band for all to take notice of.   Oct 28, 2023

I like this one more than Heirs to Thievery. Track 10 stands out for me; it has a wonderful meditative quality while maintaining the grim heaviness. Very good all the way through.   Oct 28, 2023

I did a Deathgrind Friday and this was the best of the day. The drumming is so good, so fast, and so perfect. I loved everything about the album, and I was surprised how some of the later songs turn rather alternative metal. Now I learn that Cattle Decapitation makes interesting choices with sub-genres.   Oct 28, 2023

A very dank stoner doom album that goes out in style.   Oct 27, 2023

The genuine emotions come through so directly on this album, it brought my mind into a special zone. I don't hear any stoner element (which is why I tried it) but I'm glad I learned how great this is.   Oct 27, 2023

For a stoner metal Thursday I couldn't resist listening to an album from the masters. Those quivering notes - I cherish every millisecond. I really love this album.   Oct 27, 2023

Wonderful energetic music that sounds really hard to play. The stoner side feels somewhat like Hendrix and Page, but the noise rock side feels more contemporary and draws a captivating contrast. Also, oh how that last song stays in my head after the album finishes. This album is both impressive and immensely pleasing.   Oct 27, 2023

Fuzzy, rumbling, & swaggering. Stoner doom/sludge with interludes of country (and one of surf). A good way to start my morning.   Oct 27, 2023

Very good atmospheric black metal, and the ambient stuff at the end was great too, which I don't usually think. An hour & 16 minutes felt short. Great melodies. Also, that cover art gives me a nice puzzled feeling.   Oct 26, 2023

I enjoyed it more than their 2004 album. The horn section is particularly moving here. Very good and no weak parts.   Oct 26, 2023

It has that homemade feel, but has some good moments. Based on this cover photo, it's not the type of atmosphere I was expecting, but still cool.   Oct 26, 2023

The evil fury & darkness were so delectable. Truly astounding. The literary topic is handled so well, and it's a great way unite aficionados of different arts. This is a one-song masterpiece in a legendary discography.   Oct 26, 2023

They put some variety in this album; there's some blackened doom in the beginning, some straight black metal, and some songs have some moments of heavy metal, then there's a lot of atmospheric. All done well with very good guitarwork.   Oct 26, 2023

Respect to Slipknot; they devised their own version of nu metal without sounding like Koяn and it works very well. The drumming is mind-blowing and you can feel the enthusiasm from each member even though it's a studio album. Better than Iowa. A huge accomplishment.   Oct 26, 2023

2 fiery and quite wonderful songs even if Otep's harsh vocal technique is not as full as it got later. The spoken word track in the middle is too long and the poetry is rambling and not well worded. The last 2 tracks are okay. All in all, it's just kinda good, but it's their 1st EP. It would be so much better without track 3.   Oct 26, 2023

Better than their 2006 album. The first track is such a great truculent song for getting pumped up, but it has that unique Mushroomhead darkness contradicting it, like a point & counterpoint together. Track 4 sounds so much like Faith no More, I had to check and find out it's not a cover. No filler here; only great songs and good songs.   Oct 26, 2023

I was trying to have a nu metal Tuesday, but this album is mostly alternative metal. Anyway, the quality is rather good. You can tell that it's the same guys who created L.D. 50. L.D. 50, though, is somewhat more interesting than this one but, besides that, they're pretty equal. I give both albums an 80, but consider L.D. 50 just a tiny bit better.   Oct 26, 2023

It starts off with some okay nu metal, but mostly it's hard rock & heavy metal. Also, they add in some Alice in Chains influence, but they try to cram that sound into a half bar or so when it really needs more space to actually achieve the same effect. The lyrics are bad. Overall it's amateurish and immature but only a little bad.   Oct 26, 2023

I didn't know I was going to hear such good soulful singing, even though I knew for decades that this band existed. It's a great mix of heavy and light, also of underground and mainstream. Very good.   Oct 24, 2023

Ministry keeping it's awesome industrial sound while sounding a lot like Slayer in the riffing department. Very gratifying and fun too.   Oct 24, 2023

Intense & energetic music. Having no vocals is one of the best ways of solving the vocal question. Anyway, I was in hi tech paradise for the whole time.   Oct 24, 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
