Very good war metal, but The Light-Devouring Darkness is noticeably better. Anyway, respect to Archgoat for another great album.   Oct 13, 2023

Huge cathartic conclusions with an exhilarating black metal sound make for some great highlights on this album. I'm taking some points off for too much spoken word and taking too much time to build the tension with airy post-rock. Skip some parts and this is clearly a 90/100 or even maybe 95/100. In the end, I still consider myself lucky to have experienced it.   Oct 13, 2023

A good satisfying short album if you skip the talking after the bonus track. Also, I appreciate the album cover and theme being about injustice.   Oct 13, 2023

Great compositions, good instrumentation, & mid-tier lyrics. I love the style; sometimes there's not enough goth in gothic metal, but this album really delivers with the romantic mood and chilly dark atmosphere I was hoping for.   Oct 13, 2023

Raise Your Banner and Trophy Hunter are just wonderful songs. Most of this album, though, is filler with amateurish lyrics, too much singing, and forced choruses with babbling melodies. The overproduced nature of the recording makes the flaws nice and clear. Of course that means the instruments are crystal clear too, but isn't it cheaper to just do a critique on the lyrics and singing melody and fine tune it a little? Of course that is a cool album cover though.   Oct 12, 2023

Very good war metal here, but those song titles and the album title are just some of the coolest in metal history. Should I increase the score for that reason?   Oct 12, 2023

This album really astounded me today, and I just can't stop saying that album title in my head. The reason some of us find something so special about war metal is that bands like Revenge put in the effort and perfect the sub-genre's sound so thoroughly.   Oct 12, 2023

Gorgeously heavy stoner sludge from Dvne here! I like this even more than Asheran. My favorite of the day. Now I'm looking at their discography and wishing it had more. Do you remember Sonic the Hedgehog tapping his foot?   Oct 12, 2023

Pretty good. Some melo death and a little melodic metalcore. Overall the same level as In Flames's 2023 album, but Sunholy has more consistent quality on the vocals.   Oct 12, 2023

Venymysgourvleydh's tracks are very lo-fi, but not with that fuzzy staticky raw sound. They really sound like a psychotic state, but the recording quality does detract a little. Collier d'Ombre's tracks are a little better, and they follow the atmospheric BM formula. Track 4 does have a nice heavy-metal-sounding intro.   Oct 12, 2023

There are many great songs on this album, though some are just somewhat good. Frozen in Time, in particular, is giant triumph of songwriting & delivery. Good work by a very good duo.   Oct 11, 2023

This is a great musical journey. There is a lot of piano music on this, so it might not be for all metal fans. At times, it is the same style as Leave, and the depressive BM sections are huge culminations. I really liked the whole experience.   Oct 11, 2023

Massive emotional impact for me. This atmospheric BM does mix in some death metal as well. Anyway, Veritas is the best thing I heard today. Highly recommended.   Oct 11, 2023

This one starts off well, and gets even better very quickly. If feel first wave and second wave influences, and the last track is a staggering atmospheric BM song. Noticeably more powerful than their 2021 album. Styggdom is a real delight.   Oct 11, 2023

Energetic music with a fun theme. The vocals aren't my style, but I can stop thinking about that and recognize everything is done well here.   Oct 11, 2023

I was blown away by how perfect everything sounds. Cold, evil, and everything I could hope for.   Oct 7, 2023

Good songs, great recording except the vocals are a little too loud, and amazing charisma & delivery by Elena as always. Also, this album does a good job of keeping all the songs strong - more consistent than many Infected Rain albums. I was already a huge fan of Elena, but she's refined her vocal skills and sense of melody even further. All in all, somewhat commercial but still very good.   Oct 7, 2023

I find all the elements nice, and I really love their style, but I wasn't getting enough passion & impact. A lot of songs are more hard rock than metal, and that got me thinking how their style is very similar to The Cult's. As a coincidence, She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult then came on the radio and showed me how this style can have so much passion that it's hard to believe. Good but not great for Downhearted.   Oct 7, 2023

Insane drumming, and the constant lightspeed tempos are soothing as war metal often is. I still don't know much about deathgrind, but I'll need to educate myself. This EP is extremely exciting music, and the cover art complements it wonderfully.   Oct 7, 2023

I had a hunch it would be just okay, but this is just fantastic. It puts me in a cold hazy zone and I can just feel the tragic vibe. An extremely pleasant surprise. For me, this artist came out of nowhere and handed me the best thing I listened to today. Great job Eclipsus.   Oct 6, 2023

Oh, it's so nice of them to share an actual photo of one of their parties. Of course this is very fun music.   Oct 6, 2023

Very well-played if you ask my ears. Also, it runs through the whole variety of post-black metal - a wash of hazy distortion, heavy cathartic metal with powerfully harsh vocals, soothing floating melodies, & hypnotizing ambient parts. I'm making another note to check a band's earlier albums now.   Oct 6, 2023

I'm glad I found out about this project. Everything on this album is noice.   Oct 6, 2023

Another nice solid album by Spineshank. There are a few very commercial moments that had me saying, "Oh, shut up." The vast majority was fine though, with the same bright energy as The Height of Callousness. I'll give them the same score, but if either one is better, I'd say it's this one.   Oct 6, 2023

First I recognize that this is electronic music. Then I can really enjoy it. I just love the neoclassical feel to the compositions. darkwave and chiptune work very well with this kind of cyber metal. I want more.   Oct 5, 2023

I can get into this one a lot more than last year's NULL. All the songs are interesting, captivating, & different.   Oct 5, 2023

Rebellious & in-your-face in an enjoyable way. The vocals are the weakest part of the sound, but even the singing has some very nice moments throughout the record. End result - I had a good time.   Oct 4, 2023

For me, a good experience. Probably hard for many people to listen to, but there's tons of atmosphere. Similar in style to 2022's albums like Chat Pile and the even better Ashenspire. This KEN mode album isn't quite as powerful though. I think you'll feel some sludge in addition to the hardcore & noise rock.   Oct 4, 2023

A super group! There are tons of wonderful riffs. Also it shifts into power metal. An energizing listen.   Oct 3, 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
