Who's the Enemy
preview  Amebix preview  Who's the Enemy (1982)  [EP]
level 16 Cosmicism   75/100
A very rough set of 4 songs. I like Curfew the most, but there's nothing I disliked.   Mar 3, 2025
Pandaemorthium (Forbidden Formulas to Awaken the Blind Sovereigns of Nothingness)
level 16 Cosmicism   85/100
Starting with this album, it's that great bizarre, other-dimensional feeling that is now his trademark. Starting with track 6 the songs start having a lot more impact for me. Cool artwork too. Hail Esoctrilihum in whatever dimension he's currently in.   Mar 3, 2025
Isolated
preview  Chain Cult preview  Isolated (2018)  [EP]
level 16 Cosmicism   85/100
A couple of cool songs by this dynamite band.   Mar 3, 2025
The Lamb's Fury
preview  Impurity preview  The Lamb's Fury (1993)
level 16 Cosmicism   70/100
It has some nice darkness and all, but I don't find much to hang on to in the instrumentation, so in the end it's kind of innocuous for me.   Mar 3, 2025
Warning - Her Majesty's Government Can Seriously Damage Your Health
level 16 Cosmicism   85/100
Great EP from their punky origins. In Defence of Our Future is fantastic, and I can see why Mayhem covered it.   Mar 3, 2025
IIII
preview  Farsot preview  IIII (2007)
level 16 Cosmicism   80/100
If you want Avant-garde BM, you'll get it. Tracks 3 & 5 are the best for me. The closing song is almost as good, but 3 times the length. Anyway, cool album.   Mar 3, 2025
Pact of Blood
preview  Elffor / Aeon Winds preview  Pact of Blood (2025)  [Split]
level 16 Cosmicism   95/100
Even if these are just tracks the 2 artists had lying around, they're still quite astounding. Elffor's track 1 is the atmospheric BM style we're used to, and track 2 is a soft non-metal one that's quite beautiful. Aeon Winds' are both black metal, and track 3 is my favorite of the split.   Mar 3, 2025
Massacre Divine
preview  Discharge preview  Massacre Divine (1991)
level 16 Cosmicism   75/100
This is a noticeable improvement on their 1986 album. The vocals are still in a bit of a rut, but not as much. The vocal style is a bit similar but it works much better, much more listenable. Skip the last 2 alternate mix tracks, but either way it's a decent album.   Mar 3, 2025
Invaded by a Dark Spirit
level 16 Cosmicism   80/100
Good debut by a nice & quirky artist, but bear in mind there is evil & pain too. Real black metal.   Mar 3, 2025
Atavistic Black Disorder / Kommando
level 16 Cosmicism   90/100
Everything is so nice, but they play that Discharge cover even better than Discharge. The high point of the EP for me.   Mar 3, 2025
Semen Serpentis
preview  Grafvitnir preview  Semen Serpentis (2014)
level 16 Cosmicism   85/100
Freezing & evil early album from Grafvitnir's formidable discography. Nice and melodic with some good speed, especially on that first track.   Feb 24, 2025
Black Star
preview  Armory preview  Black Star (2025)  [EP]
level 16 Cosmicism   90/100
Thank you armory for letting us know that you're working on a new album by releasing these 2 excellent songs.   Feb 24, 2025
Not Dark Yet
preview  Fluids preview  Not Dark Yet (2021)
level 16 Cosmicism   75/100
There's a lot of good moments in these 36 minutes, but unfortunately the first track drags down my score a bit. It sounds like the audio of an actual suicide video. I'd just skip it, now knowing this. However, the rest of the album is brutal & energetic with a great oompa part and trap beats worked in playfully.   Feb 24, 2025
Eternal Roar of the Thunder and Rain
level 16 Cosmicism   85/100
Quite impressed, and now that I learn of Malacath, I see they've been at it for quite some time. Definitely some depressive and atmospheric BM, but still kind of straight BM. Good music and nice cover art, especially how that lightning interacts with the logo.   Feb 24, 2025
Malignant Worthlessness
level 16 Cosmicism   85/100
Overall, quite nice. The dirty war metal sound and deathy guitar melodies work very well, but a few tracks are a bit samey though even those tracks have something at their core. For me, the amazing surprise is that infectious last song. Still nasty & aggressive but it's a bit hypnotic too, and the abrupt ending was an excellent choice. In the end, you can just ignore this comment and look at the cover art instead. You'll know whether or not you'll like it.   Feb 24, 2025
Resilience
preview  Amarok preview  Resilience (2024)
level 16 Cosmicism   85/100
All the songs are good, but that 2nd track really touched my soul. Again, excellent work by Adam Burke on that painting.   Feb 24, 2025
...Very 'eavy...Very 'umble
level 16 Cosmicism   85/100
With that evocative album cover, they started off a career already at a high level. The playing sounds pro, and the songs range from good to fantastic.   Feb 24, 2025

The Burden of Existence
level 16 Cosmicism   90/100
Over their career, the quality of their releases was son consistently excellent. Maybe this was the best, but I actually just want to keep cycling through the whole discography. What a great band.   Feb 24, 2025
Futility
preview  Oreamnos preview  Futility (2025)  [EP]
level 16 Cosmicism   90/100
I was really excited for this release by Oreamnos, and I've come to expect everyone involved with these Bloody Mountain projects a great deal. These are some excellent song that take some unexpected but highly pleasing twists. Great work.   Feb 24, 2025
Then It All Came Down
level 16 Cosmicism   90/100
Look forward to a great variety of instruments and soundscapes that work up to a crashing drone metal finale. This is a real treat.   Feb 20, 2025
Void Mother
preview  Obscure Sphinx preview  Void Mother (2013)
level 16 Cosmicism   90/100
Fantastic songs with tons of inspiration. I find it quite djenty even though it's clearly sludge. The singer has just the right touch at every moment, and the production just smashes the whole landscape. I really love this album.   Feb 20, 2025
Vivid
preview  Living Colour preview  Vivid (1988)
level 16 Cosmicism   85/100
Radio stations want us to believe that Cult of Personality is the only song they ever wrote. I'm glad I listened to the whole thing, because there are tons of highlights. Great debut album.   Feb 20, 2025
Concrete
preview  Fear Factory preview  Concrete (2002)
level 16 Cosmicism   80/100
It's cool they released this even though it took a bunch of years. They evolved a great deal in the years between laying these tracks down and the release. Recommended to any Fear Factory fan.   Feb 20, 2025
Psycho-Head Blowout
preview  White Zombie preview  Psycho-Head Blowout (1987)  [EP]
level 16 Cosmicism   65/100
A very early EP from White Zombie and some of it is even listenable. The bad songs are bad in a way that doesn't offend me, feeling more like I'm hearing a local band that is getting the hang of things. The first and last songs might be worth a try.   Feb 20, 2025
Prequel to Madness
preview  Traveler preview  Prequel to Madness (2024)
level 16 Cosmicism   80/100
Great vocals, and good everything else. Some Iron Maiden influence I think.   Feb 20, 2025
Harm Reduction
preview  Chain Cult preview  Harm Reduction (2024)
level 16 Cosmicism   95/100
I just love the style of this album, and the instrumentation feels exact and expressive too. The more I listen, the more I want to hit play again. Definitely my pick of the last 2 days. Thank you Chain Cult.   Feb 20, 2025
Dreaming the Strife for Love
level 16 Cosmicism   80/100
It reminds me of Deep Purple at times, but yes it's essentially death metal. Rather good too.   Feb 20, 2025
Heavy Metal Wraiths
level 16 Cosmicism   85/100
It's epic heavy metal, but it has these melancholic and sinister tones that epic metal almost never has. Quite solid album.   Feb 20, 2025
The Disfigured and the Divine
level 16 Cosmicism   85/100
Impressive and there's enough passion that you can feel close to the musicians, like being in the same room. The intriguing cover art works well with the mood of the songs. I like this a lot, and I want more from this band. Man, they've smashed onto the scene.   Feb 20, 2025
Depraved Disfigurement
preview  Emasculator preview  Depraved Disfigurement (2022)  [Demo]
level 16 Cosmicism   75/100
It's a cool demo. The title track is decent. The 2nd track is all right, but the version of this song on their 2024 EP is a ton better. Now that they have a live drummer who is quite amazing, this is a band to keep in the forefronts of our minds.   Feb 20, 2025

헬로윈 감마레이로 입문한 저로썬 메탈 장르에 뜸해질때가 많았는데, 간만에 이런 엘범을 처음부터 끝까지 들으니 감회가 새롭습니다. 멜로디면 멜로디 구성이면 구성 정신없이 40분여가량이 순삭되는 경험을 했습니다. 파워메탈 장르가 이렇게 잘 살아있구나 하는 감동 받았습니다.. 메탈이 생소한 아내도 좋아하고 자주 듣네요 ㅎ   Mar 13, 2025

Appetite for Destruction
level 20 똘복이   90/100
아무래도 이 1집에서는 많은 이들이 Sweet Child o' Mine을 꼽겠지만, 내게 있어서 이 앨범 최고의 곡은 절대적으로 Nightrain이다. 밴드의 정체성, 색깔, 연주력 등을 한 번에 대변해주는 곡이랄까. 심지어 가사까지 말이다. 같이 늙어간다는 말이 어울리겠지만, 그때의 열정 속에서 Nightrain을 외치고 연주를 하던 그들의 모습은 정말로 젊음의 영웅이자 양아치였다.   Mar 19, 2025

level 13 ggerubum   85/100
다시 살아난 폼은 떨어질 줄 모르고, 진짜 좋은데.. 정말 좋은데.. 짙게 드리운 어둠이라기에는 너무 명징하다. 컨셉에 맞는 분위기와 강약 조절을 좀만 더 했다면 명반 반열로 올라가는건데, 듣기 좋아서 더욱 그 한끝이 아쉽다.   Mar 30, 2025

Great album but not at the level of the debut in my opinion. The band tries a bit of progressive direction with pretty good results, although some songs are quite weak. The end of the album is great. Good job Sonata!   Mar 11, 2025

모던 파워 메탈 특유의 대중지향적이고 댄서블한 면이 분명 있으나 선을 넘어버린 다른 밴드 만큼 과하지 않고 적당하다. 앨범 후반부가 좀 아쉽긴 하지만, 그래도 이들의 앨범 중에선 이 앨범이 가장 마음에 듦.   4 days ago

Screaming for Vengeance
level 2 TELIA   90/100
Probably Judas Priest's most commercially successful album, and it's extremely good. The song material is brilliant, and if we forget the existence of "Pain And Pleasure" and "Fever", it's perfect. The "Hellion/Electric Eye" duo is still one of the greatest opening tracks in metal history. The production is tuned to exactly the level that a band of this class should have. And then there's Rob Halford. Absolutely phenomenal, a top-3 Priest album for me.   Mar 13, 2025

level 16 metalnrock   95/100
90-95 이미 3집부터 이들의 음악은 헤비하고 꽤 프로그레시브의 주제의식을 가진 앨범들로 발전해갔다. 앨범커버는 dc 코믹스와 마블에서 유명한 Ethan Van Sciver의 그림이라고 한다. 일본반은 2번의 어쿠스틱 버전이 더 들어가 있다. 윙어의 진가는 이미 전작부터 보여줬고 깊이 있는 음악을 보여주는 것이 딱 내가 원하는 그런 밴드이다.   Mar 13, 2025

Rainbow leaves classic hard rock behind with their second album and begins to create the beginnings of the genre that would later be called power metal. The song material is practically perfect and the album features perhaps the strongest band line-up in history. The last two songs are pure masterpieces. If melodic old-school heavy metal with incredible vocal performances interests you, now you know where to look. Legendary!   Mar 15, 2025
