Finally discovering why I've heard this band name before, and it's the Sadness guy going complete insane with a more erratic and sometimes evil sound. This might be hard for many metal fans to listen to, but there's a certain percent of us that will love this music with a passion.   Sep 24, 2023

Impressive songwriting & musicianship. This time as I was actually enjoying it too. Maybe it's just hard for me to get into the right mood for their music. Yes, it's all about the breakdowns. Vildhjarta, featuring some of the same members, matches my personality much more. I am glad I gave this one a try, though.   Sep 24, 2023

The members have been changing over the years, but their dependably brilliant black 'n' roll, punk, & metal have stayed at the same level. I find this one more exciting than Nattesferd, but just slightly. Also, almost as good as Splid. Instead of thinking more about why I rank those albums like that, I just want to listen to this again & again.   Sep 24, 2023

The melancholy is so thick on this album. I'm glad I've finally looked into their earlier albums. This one is powerful & heavy like Aevum, and the quality is just as high. A very exciting record.   Sep 22, 2023

Very good epic feel on this album. The cover art has a castle that looks kind of amateurish, but don't be fooled; these are well written songs played with huge amounts of passion.   Sep 22, 2023

I liked this a lot, and I found the most doom-laden parts the best. Interesting that not even the doom on this album is all that slow; it's a lot of mid-tempo. Also, the melodies really stay with me.   Sep 22, 2023

Definitely better than Gold & Grey, since I find more of these songs very satisfying. Great melodies played by total pros. Also, Baroness's discography is starting to get pretty beefy at this point. I've loved their music for a long time and have real respect for the past & present members.   Sep 22, 2023

A prolific brutal death metal musician goes black metal, and you'll believe it when you hear the vocals. Good black metal with some symphonic intros.   Sep 22, 2023

Kind of hard to choose between 85 and 90 on this one. All good, but it doesn't excite me as much as Plague, which is similar in style. The military rhythms do feel prominent on this album, giving the music a feeling of galactic empires exploring new planets. Also, I just love that album cover.   Sep 22, 2023

The energy of the songs is equal to the coolness of the band & its image, which should be impossible but..... Motörhead.   Sep 22, 2023

Very solid for all 13 tracks. The Rolling Stones cover was even better than I was hoping for. The legendary band's final album is very good.   Sep 22, 2023

Now I learn about this band. It's some unique progressive metal. I get a thall feeling from this at parts, but maybe that's just me. Anyway, recommending this to everyone because it's refreshing.   Sep 22, 2023

So many great moments condensed into 35 minutes. Melodically great, and Hate Forest's use of guttural vocals to induce trance-like feelings is so unique and effective. Brilliant music.   Sep 20, 2023

Wow, what's up with these guys. In just 3 years they rose straight to the Awesome Tier.   Sep 20, 2023

Great musicianship. So many slow songs on this one. Most of the best parts are the mid-tempo ones, but track 3 totally blew me away. Cool band, and the future looks extremely promising for these 2 guys.   Sep 20, 2023

Melodic BM with an all-blue illustration on the cover - isn't that an omen for good music? Well, the rich and flowing music delivers what we want here. There's a great air of tragedy and melancholy. Also, this band's name is nothingness/空 in the Buddhist context. The 'Dark Age' theme matches the melody perfectly. Thoroughly enjoyed it.   Sep 20, 2023

It's a very jarring sound that works well. Some people like it a lot more than me, but I definitely like it too.   Sep 20, 2023

Short but sweet. What a good blackened thrash band. It's not as excellent as their 2022 album, but I need more Daeva!   Sep 19, 2023

I like all tracks by both bands, but Úlfarr's tracks all have the same riff (which they admitted to, I think). If that doesn't bother you, it's a good split and a great way for Malfeitor to make himself known.   Sep 19, 2023

Melodic BM with power metal influence? Wow, it works very well while feeling natural. Such a great brand spanking new band. I can't wait to hear their first full-length coming out this month.   Sep 19, 2023

When this band came out, I thought they were much worse than this and much more cringeworthy. Pleasant surprise - this album has a lot of enjoyable moments, and nothing really negative that jumps out at me. Also, the singer can actually sing, and when he raps I don't find it embarrassing. A certain Limp band could have learned a lesson... back in 2001.   Sep 19, 2023

Mostly average music on here. The clean vocals sometimes bother me, sounding like a whining metalcore teenager, but the harsh vocals are decent or better. Production sounds good. Track 6 really stands out - much more enjoyable than the rest. The Smashing Pumpkins cover doesn't compare to the original, but that's quite a challenge in the opinion of little old me.   Sep 19, 2023

Track 2, Ostracized is pretty powerful, and the rest of the album is just so-so or kind of weak. Also, it's mostly covers, and the covers are mostly not so great. Rate Your Music people think this is the worst album ever, but they have their own potato-head obsessions. Anyway, this one is only for die-hard fans of Otep; for me it exists for that track 2.   Sep 19, 2023

Overall a good album. I liked the thrashy riffs though some guitar parts felt more simple than they should be. The songwriting is mostly very good, but gets weaker in the middle of the album, especially with the songs with very short run-times. The vocals, of course, are great and really strengthen the gothic element.   Sep 18, 2023

This album sweeps me away. There's a lot of what people like me want from atmospheric black metal, but there is some surprisingly doom-laden stuff in here too, so it's rather unique. Definitely one of my favorite bands.   Sep 16, 2023

Quite beautiful, and there are some fun 80s-feeling parts. By the way, what the heck is happening on that album cover?   Sep 16, 2023

I loved this one so much, and this great album helps tip 2023 toward being a huge year for metal. I'm wondering if TesseracT gets overlooked by people looking for extremely heavy progressive metal. Well, this music has what they're looking for.   Sep 16, 2023

Jukka's voice is always so excellent, and these are gorgeous songs. In every way, well done.   Sep 16, 2023

Officially, I declare Fog of War one of those bands that need to produce more albums. They are so excellent and so many years have passed. Also, A+ on making this one distinct from the previous. I loved all the music, and I loved all the attitude.   Sep 16, 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
