It has some good moments, but nothing as good as their later material. Very obvious influence from Otep on this album, but the results got better when their experience was their main source.   Sep 16, 2023

A good listen. Track 2 is great and so is the famous track 4, so I can see why they were singles. A lot of the other songs have weak verses and excellent choruses. Owners of the Japanese edition were lucky; I always loved that Jurassitol song.   Sep 16, 2023

Overwhelming in a good way. Impressive speed and technicality.   Sep 16, 2023

With all these Tolkien references, of course this sounds like Summoning. It is all right and it does convey some nostalgia, but it doesn't convey the darkness and evil like Summoning does while being even more beautiful. This should be a goal for the next album.   Sep 16, 2023

Very nice kvlt sound that weaves in some atmospheric and some post. Now I feel silly that it's been so many years since I last listened to this band.   Sep 16, 2023

It gets better as the album progresses. Be warned; the vocals are slamming pig squeals. However, I got into the groove anyway. The compositions, especially for the percussion, is very good. I salute this one-man-band.   Sep 16, 2023

I can feel the melodies. Good mix of folk, pagan, and straight BM. Also, the field recordings are a treat.   Sep 16, 2023

Good succinct thrash songs. It doesn't have much variety, but the power and quality keep that from being a detracting factor. The bonus disc with guest vocalists is good too, but I recommend not listening to both in a row. The 3rd best thrash of this year, behind only Raider and King Gizzard. What a thrash year!   Sep 13, 2023

This was a fun experience. I found one of my favorite atmospheric BM artists. I heard this album and thought it's his best work. After listening a bunch of times I think, "Wait, is there any black metal on this one?" I had to listen again to realize that there's no blackened element, just his original unique sound. That was as great a journey as the exhilarating songs on this album.   Sep 13, 2023

Now I can hear why I started listening to Nebula Orionis so much in 2019. Track 2 is so powerful - what a great example of Atmospheric BM. The rest is good too.   Sep 13, 2023

It's all right if you like the genre as much as I do. This is very Lustre, which you might guess by the album cover and year of release. I'm really glad he started getting his own ideas soon after this.   Sep 13, 2023

Even a little more variety in his discography now. Mostly post-black metal here. A lot of cold and depressive feelings, but track 4 is upbeat. Solid album.   Sep 13, 2023

Good space feel to this one. One of his early releases and maybe his weakest, but still thoroughly enjoyable.   Sep 13, 2023

The songs from the The Aftermath EP are great. The other songs are good. Definitely skip the 20 minutes of silence; it's kind of annoying.   Sep 12, 2023

Obnoxious in the best way possible.   Sep 12, 2023

Katatonia is a funny band. They try their best to sell out and be phony, but they create this evocative and sincere album instead. Some bands are so much more capable of failing; I guess Katatonia never figured out how to.   Sep 12, 2023

Holy crap! The excitement these guys have for these songs comes right through the speakers when you listen to it. After all these years Tsjuder can embody that punky BM vitality so well. Great cover art too. Total class act.   Sep 12, 2023

Great guitar sound as always. Also, like with Hellscape, my mind goes right to exercise routines. If you have a routine, you'll love to have this playing. For this EP, the compositions aren't as inspiring as his other recent work - but still enjoyable.   Sep 12, 2023

Good songs from start to finish, with a segment here & there that was kinda' awkward or felt a little annoying. Maybe the critiquing phase didn't quite happen when they wrote the songs. Nothing so negative though. A good listen for black metal fans. Thank you BM veterans.   Sep 12, 2023

I love how I was just feeling the general mood for so many minutes, and then I realized I was in the middle of hearing the most nightmarish screams imaginable. These are 2 great musicians that enrich the underground so much through their own projects, and through top-tier collaborations like this album. My pick of the week for sure.   Sep 10, 2023

Infectious as always. They know that their style works, and it shows.   Sep 10, 2023

Very good swooning melodies. I'm thinking it's their 2nd best so far. Concise & replayable. On that album cover, I like the execution a little but totally love the concept.   Sep 10, 2023

The section of clean vocals is rather annoying for me, but when it breaks into full-on black metal it's well played. I'll give this a slightly good rating, but I won't be surprised if they release something I like much much more.   Sep 10, 2023

Good quality on the songwriting throughout. The heartfelt rather soft songs are what usually become the embarrassing commercial tracks for a rock or metal band, but there's nothing negative the way that Pia makes them. I guess it's a rare skill.   Sep 10, 2023

No offense to Andrea, but I was wishing for more vocals from Cristina so she could achieve more dramatic resolutions in the vocal melodies. I also took offense at some tacked-on orchestral elements. Even considering those complaints though, it's still pleasant music overall from good ol' Lacuna Coil.   Sep 10, 2023

Great atmosphere and the melodies convey a lot of emotion. Though I wouldn't call it atmospheric BM, it does show clear influence from Drudkh. I'm wondering if their previous albums are this good; if they're even close I'll be elated to listen.   Sep 10, 2023

This EP starts off like it's going to be peaceful walk through the wilderness, and then agony, blood, & scorched landscapes take over the sound. What a relief.   Sep 10, 2023

The combination of that album art, that title, and that beastly old school death metal sound all work together so well. I can see why death metal has so many fans, especially when listening to a band like these guys.   Sep 10, 2023

Fun music that is disgustingly heavy as you might guess. Yes the cover makes me think of Garbage Pail Kids. Also, the mascot's name is Drippy.   Sep 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
