Crimson & Jet Black
preview  Anthem preview  Crimson & Jet Black (2023)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
I especially liked tracks 4 & 11, but I was also struck by how they are focused on the musicality from start to finish, as opposed to sounding commercial. Very good vocals too.   Jun 7, 2023
Cold Dark Death
preview  Four Forests preview  Cold Dark Death (2015)
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
These 2 were totally committed to old school 90s and a lo-fi D.I.Y. aesthetic. That's a cool approach. I liked it but didn't love it. However, I'm particularly curious about their other projects.   Jun 7, 2023
Life Is But a Dream...
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
Are these guys officially the most divisive band on earth? Props to the singer for never forgetting the passion. There's a lot of beautiful moments on this album, and I rocked the whole time. Pretty darn good.   Jun 7, 2023
Slasher
preview  Omnium Gatherum preview  Slasher (2023)  [EP]
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
I found the first track so-so, but 2, 3, & 4 are bright blazing fires. I reveled in the 80s feel combined perfectly with Omnium Gatherum's signature sound. I'm always thankful when these guys are creating music.   Jun 7, 2023
Ragnarok
preview  Myrkur preview  Ragnarok (2023)
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
There are some wonderful melodies on this album, but I feel the whole thing should be longer so it can make more of an impact. Especially track 2 should be longer. There is, however, some good variety on this album. Overall, rather good.   Jun 7, 2023
Perdition City
preview  Ulver preview  Perdition City (2000)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
I loved the combination of chilling out, meditative, & industrial feels. Toward the end, there are some high-pitched beeps that might really hurt your ears, so be warned. Besides that warning, I have only extremely positive things to say about this awesome album.   Jun 7, 2023
Us and Them
preview  Godflesh preview  Us and Them (1999)
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
I learned that some Godflesh fans don't like this album, and even Justin wasn't happy with how it turned out. Call me crazy; I loved this album to death. The hip hop tones created mostly through guitar work were delectable. The industrial feel was very strong, so it delivered what I came for. It's heavy, dystopian, and full of thick atmosphere, but it's also perfect for chilling out. In my opinion that's a real accomplishment.   Jun 4, 2023
Dark Noise
preview  Cryptospital preview  Dark Noise (2023)
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
I really liked how Cryptospital took a chance and challenged me with this interesting new album. It's mostly pretty raw and the bass is quite faint. It was like being lost at sea - occasionally passing damaged ships of evil ghosts in a hazy night. Suddenly it ended and I was surprised 1 hour & 11 minutes went by so quickly. Just like that unassuming yet perfect album cover, the music follows a strategy to create a strong impact.   Jun 4, 2023
Graven Dägger
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Doesn't that album cover make you happy? It's back to the 70s for early metal & proto metal here, but it's still their own original songwriting. It's very enjoyable instrumental music. Also, sometimes I get this little creeping fear that there is a bunch of metal heads that assume metal began with Cannibal Corpse. Let's remember the real history. I hope this brand new band keeps up the hard work.   Jun 4, 2023
Anti Terrestrial Black Metal
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Extremely evil all the way through and the execution is great. Also, holy s#%t track 4 Mental Fortress is absolutely amazing.   Jun 4, 2023

The guitar work is very impressive.   Jun 4, 2023
Potestas Magicum Diaboli
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
Ooof. My pick of the day. I remembered liking Asagraum, but this is even better than my memory. The evil atmosphere is master tier, and the instrumentation conveys so much exhilaration. They must have been in exactly the right zone to achieve this sound. A great album here.   Jun 1, 2023

Invictus
preview  Magoth preview  Invictus (2020)
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
I was expecting something as good as their Anti Terrestrial album, so I was a little disappointed. Nothing I disliked though, just not as powerful.   Jun 1, 2023
Glacial Domination
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
I find the first few songs overbearing (like usual for death metal) but I'm not getting any emotion. Starting around the middle, things improve a lot. However, the interludes start to really bother me - it's kind of a rookie mistake. I think a lot of death metal fans can ignore these weak points and still enjoy this album, but I have to detract points.   Jun 1, 2023
planet eater
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
I'll say good but not great. About the genre - it has eerie cosmic atmosphere, but it's more like encountering ghosts while exploring moons and orbiting. Don't come expecting Darkspace. The types of melody are, here & there, similar to doom or heavy metal, so there's good variety.   Jun 1, 2023
Godslastering: Hymns of a Forlorn Peasantry
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Impressive array of black metal's variety on this one. It's also worth noting how many different kinds of harsh vocals she uses throughout the album. Very good and recommended.   Jun 1, 2023

Cineastre

Tremolo picking on this one is top tier. Also, this is one impressive album for a first full-length. The band leader looks super young, and the band is very new, so I think this is one artist to watch.   Jun 1, 2023
The Exuviae of Gods - Part I
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
I'm giving it the same score, but this is slightly better than Part II. This one has a little more tension, so I feel the emotion a bit more. Good doom with nothing particularly bad about it.   Jun 1, 2023
War Against All
preview  Immortal preview  War Against All (2023)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Full of vitality and it has a great sound. A couple songs are kind of so-so, and there are a few corny lines ( corny in an evil way), but there are tons of good parts. No Sun and Nordlandihr were quite powerful highlights for me.   Jun 1, 2023
Lost in Millenia
preview  Corrupt-R preview  Lost in Millenia (2023)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Very energetic and worth repeated listens. I find this actually gets better the more I listen. It's not the most mind-bending complex djent out there, but the emotions & moods make grand triumphant entrances. There're also some sweet solos. No weak parts - all positive.   May 28, 2023
Love Is for Suckers
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
Track 9 gets super corny, so I might skip it from now on. Even at that, the track keeps a nice tempo and stays motivated, which is rare for a ballad. I found the rest of the songs a mix of very good and mediocre.   May 27, 2023

You Can't Stop Rock 'n' Roll
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
That verse on the first song is amazing. Overall, very impressive with a lot of good songs and nothing I'll skip. This kind of sound makes the 80's painful level of cheesiness seem totally unnecessary. When played by these guys it's a good sound.   May 27, 2023
The Exuviae of Gods - Part II
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
I got into it and I found the arrangement very tight, but I was surprised it didn't blow me away like so much funeral doom has the past few months. Standards can get too high sometimes, right? The colors used on the title were definitely a rookie mistake. I think a lot of people see it and think there's no text on the cover.   May 27, 2023
AEON
preview  A Lapse of Solitude preview  AEON (2023)
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
Not perfect in composition, but it perfectly achieves that sombre post-metal sound I love so much. It also finds really nice changes between straight up post-metal and black metal segments that are as harsh as they should be. On balance, it's very good for a debut.   May 27, 2023
Morningstar

I Helvetes Forakt
preview  Nattverd preview  I Helvetes Forakt (2023)
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
This album was a real treat. Even though I listen to new black metal albums daily, I found a lot of the songs in the middle of the album actually terrifying. The last track feels like a tragedy full of massive despair. Congratulations on a job very well done.   May 27, 2023

level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
There are some very good songs, but a few have way too much singing, which makes some songs rather weak & forced. I feel strange saying this considering how amazing Lajon's voice is. Oh well. Still kinda good.   May 27, 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

Nightfall in Middle-Earth

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

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
