New Levels New Devils
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
A 5-year-old album, but I'll make it my pick of the day. Guitarwork paradise & drumming paradise simultaneously. The cadences and rapid drum licks really echo in my head for days when I listen to this one. Massive respect to Polyphia.   Aug 1, 2023

This album brings me straight to my happy place due to the Exocrine's top-tier sense of musical style. I don't feel astonished like I do with their later albums, nonetheless this one brings positive feelings & nothing else.   Aug 1, 2023
Cryptic Curse

I enjoyed the whole EP, just not to an extreme degree. Sure I'll give it a listen now and then, but not as often as their 2022 album Fourth Reign over Opacities and Beyond, which really makes a big impact.   Aug 1, 2023

Masterful control of mood, and just like that album cover the music earns an A+ in taste. These are the ACOD members with a new project. I'm extremely thankful for this one, which is top-tier walking music.   Jul 30, 2023
Truth Killer

level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Various levels of quality throughout, so it's not very solid, but even the weaker parts are still all right. Also, even the weaker tracks all have some enjoyable moments. In the end, it's an energetic album that I prefer over In Flames 2023 album when I'm looking for a mix of melodious alternative metal and extreme metal. Fence, in particular, is dynamite.   Jul 29, 2023
The Faceless Man
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Beautiful soothing ambient music mixed well into this black metal. Mostly ethereal vocals dominate, but some truly brutal harsh vocals come in at just the right time so the songs all make a strong impact on me. Nice job by Natura Aeternum.   Jul 29, 2023
Within a World Forgotten
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
War Metal with an atmosphere that deserves that cover? What a brilliant idea. I'm kind of ignorant about grindcore, but everything on this album is either good or truly great. Highly recommended.   Jul 29, 2023

Almost as good as River Runs Red. I was surprised to discover so much influence from Type O Negative, and that it worked so well when it shows up on this album. At a lot of moments, the singing astounded me, to tell the truth - so much genuine emotion, kind of confessional. Respect to this band for putting in so much effort into this one. You can really hear it.   Jul 29, 2023
No Mercy for Mayhem

Oh I was in pure bliss with this very punky blackened speed metal. The cover art just makes me say, 'huh?' but the music inside is pure gold. Also, I don't care if people want to call the vocals harsh or not, but it's a great approach to singing either way.   Jul 29, 2023

I think i like their 2023 album slightly better, but this one is also in super good taste. Yes I'm the Mountain deserves all the attention it got back in the 2010s. Very good album from a very good band.   Jul 29, 2023

For Doom the Bell Tolls
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
A+ for album title, A+ for voiceovers & field recordings, and A+ for all the music. You can hear the enthusiasm for what they were playing on each song, which is extra remarkable because it shifts from doom, to heavy metal, to punk. Call me crazy, but only if you still want to after listening first.   Jul 29, 2023
Time Held Me Grey and Dying
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
The songwriting is very good, and the harsh vocals are some of the best harsh vocals in recent months. The pure evil in that voice kept me enthralled for 53 minutes. Quite a gem here.   Jul 29, 2023

I love how the band members are all in the photo on the album cover, working harmoniously together as a team. The music on the album is so beautifully disgusting and full of gurgling. Score of 95 but a 100% guarantee you'll have fun.   Jul 29, 2023

They have a long and quite dependable discography, and this early one didn't disappoint, even though it's far from my favorite. Too many songs on this album end with a boring fade-out. If that wasn't true I might have considered a higher score.   Jul 29, 2023

What an interesting band; energetic heavy metal with new wave vocals. Not my favorite heavy metal of this week, but I have to say, 'Everyone needs to hear this band,' and that's a compliment they fully deserve.   Jul 29, 2023
Generation Doom
preview  Otep preview  Generation Doom (2016)
level 15 Cosmicism   70/100
Listening to this album was a bizarre experience. Almost half of the songs are exhilarating, written from a genuine place, and just so cool. The other songs are tepid; they're more like rock and it feels like the band created them out of obligation. Equal Rights, Equal Lefts brought a huge smile to my face. Despite the mixed review, my respect for the vocalist has only increased.   Jul 29, 2023

Incorrigible Bigotry
level 15 Cosmicism   55/100
The way these guys play these melodies, it sounds like they're bored, apathetic, & drooling. It's like most musicians would play the same melodies in a way that makes it actually have some emotion. The message of the album is complete degeneracy. Well, now I know what I think about this band.   Jul 23, 2023

A Gradual Decline in Morale
level 15 Cosmicism   50/100
An astoundingly bad album despite some very good segments here & there. This album jumps around annoyingly from genre to genre and the songs don't hold together at all. There are lots of metalcore breakdowns that are all extremely boring. Also, most songs are weighed down by theatrics, and the sense of humor on the album is totally unfunny. What a complete mess.   Jul 23, 2023

신화 속 폭력적인 이면에 대한 감정적 해석의 전달. 에픽한 소재들을 다루면서도 그것에 매몰되어 주객이 전도되지 않게끔 느낌과 표현에 철저히 집중한 듯하며, 그런 면모가 감정적이되 냉철하게 와닿는다.   Oct 31, 2024

Handle With Care
level 15 metalnrock   85/100
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

level 10 sierrahotel   80/100
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

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

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

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
