Do you want to to take the challenge and name a genre of music that's not on this album? It might be difficult.   May 27, 2023

Very enjoyable music with an album cover that sparks the imagination. It's worth noting that there's a region of Finland populated by Swedish speakers, because the song titles are in Swedish. I wonder if that explains the tone and character of the music.   May 27, 2023

Black metal but also definitely gothic, which is great news to me; hearing both sub-genres combined with gorgeous results is so satisfying for me as a fan of both.   May 27, 2023

So powerful and such good musicianship that it's hard for me to know exactly what is done so well, but my ear tells me it's something. By the end I feel like I've been listening to excellent music the whole time but don't even notice the last track is longer than 20 minutes.   May 27, 2023

Solid album. It's depressive but not too depressive, so I think a lot of us will like it even if we stay away from that sub-genre.   May 27, 2023

Great great great musicianship here. Some songs are not just top-tier but deeply inspired as well, whereas the others are in the plainly good zone. About the sub-genre, some people might hear straight black metal, and some might hear melancholic black metal, but I agree with BMP that it's mostly atmospheric BM due to the guitar melodies, arrangement, and tempos.   May 24, 2023

Solid good black metal. The only problem is that the cover art seems to promise it'll be the best thing ever (my tastes here) but that's too much to expect, right? I recommend this one for black metal fans.   May 24, 2023

Death metal that I just totally love without feeling like it's just for death metal fans. This band is truly unique; their songs move all over the place in a hyper way with barrages of heaviness, but it's somehow the most soothing thing you can listen to. I just lay back and let the music take all my attention. An unforgettable experience.   May 24, 2023

Good current traditional heavy metal, and the cover artwork is gem.   May 24, 2023

A great mix of black metal styles, reminding me of Elderwind, Aquilus, and Enisum but it's still the artist's original ideas. The big story here is the massive catharsis & melancholy in the powerful climaxes. The best thing I've heard in the last couple of days. Highly recommended.   May 24, 2023

Really wonderful depressive BM compositions. Some of the yelping & hollering vocals detract from the enjoyment, but if depressive is one of your favorite sub-genres then you might love those parts. Also, hail Sri Lanka, especially because I don't hear much from this country.   May 24, 2023

Fact 1: it's good dependable black metal. Fact 2: I have a new band to get acquainted with.   May 21, 2023

So much beauty on this album. I don't find it perfect, but enjoyment is what I'm looking for. All songs are some level of good, and the tracks make an extremely nice cohesive flow. Respect to the living legends.   May 21, 2023

Overall it's an extremely listenable & relistenable album. Not all songs are excellent; some are plainly good. Rats! Rats! Rats! is absurdly powerful. I also love how so many highlights & memorable points are spread all over the album.   May 21, 2023

I totally loved this album. The compositions are dynamite, and the execution sounds so tight; it's really impressive. On Aggression Continuum I was complaining about the clean vocals, but on this album I like the sections with clean vocals. The last song is just kinda good, but the rest are truly excellent.   May 19, 2023

Dependable black metal that is nice & evil.   May 19, 2023

Good melodic BM, and track 10 is pure genius.   May 19, 2023

It starts out rather depressive, but then alternates between darkwave, metal genres, and all kinds of combinations of those 2. This is done very very well; I was receiving deep emotions, but also laughing & enjoying the variety. The execution on that album cover is way too low compared to the actual music. This album was a big discovery for me today.   May 19, 2023

Manufactured Hope is straight up fantastic. Some of the songs on this album, though, feel mediocre to me, and the sections with clean vocals tend to feel awkward. Overall, good but not great.   May 19, 2023

Massive respect to Deftones for staying dedicated to the creative process after all these years. This is a very solid album with inventive songs and elements of their earlier eras all mixed in tactfully. The title track is the highlight - my favorite song of 2020.   May 19, 2023

What a great band. I love some of their other work more, but this is great too. This album soothes me while helping my mind stay active.   May 19, 2023

To be honest, I have more fun trying his discography 1 album at a time. These re-recordings are all good too. Whatever you do, just listen to something by Horn and you're making a good decision.   May 19, 2023

Great energy! Also, you should know this is a straight up symphonic black metal album; there're even some female operatic vocals. The lead vocals might turn off some people, because they're kind of croaky. For me the whole album had great thick moods like danger, despair, & spite. Rabenflug, as BMP labels track 8, is absolute top tier.   May 19, 2023

Impressive for a demo.   May 19, 2023

A nice variety of great black metal songs and great doom songs, mostly black metal. Achievement Unlocked : Made an album cover no one will forget. Even if you dislike that cover, give them credit for that.   May 19, 2023

A lot of cliché lyrics, lame themes, and compositions that are too commercial. I do find the drumming well performed. I also really liked track 4. All in all though, the album is just mediocre.   May 19, 2023

Don't assume it's ABM; this is death doom. It's very good death doom too, by an artist with other one-man-bands - each one a different kind of doom. Definitely recommended.   May 19, 2023

A wonderful album out of Katatonia's monstrous discography. I've always remembered Ghost of the Sun, which I love. Now I'm struck by how haunting & nuanced all the songs are on this one, and the production is scrumptious.   May 19, 2023

These songs mostly have a mix of well make elements and weaker ones. I especially liked Wiping Off the Dead (fitting, seeing the evocative title). In the end, the album is just somewhat good to my ear.   May 19, 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
