The sound on this album is so perversely lo-fi that I was in ecstasy. Some good songs and some excellent ones.   May 19, 2023

Overall very good, but there's absolutely a lot of total expert-level djenting on this album. Unfortunately some of the clean vocals drag down my score a little. For example, I'll be skipping Red Fur from now on. In the past week, the 'core' sub-genres have been releasing a lot, and I think this might be the best recent one. The songs are fun, playful, super passionate, and intricate. Thank you Veil of Maya.   May 14, 2023

Wow. Even better than the previous release. Then again, this is the same guy from Leiþa & Kanonenfieber so I shouldn't be surprised. Anyway, to me it sounds like there's some influence from Mgła and Drudkh, and it's all played so perfectly with a definite sense of urgency coming from every movement. The sound is also top tier. Massive respect to Non Est Deus.   May 14, 2023

Very good album. The last song is so melancholic that I find it inspiring. Also, another visual feast from Mr. Lewandowski.   May 14, 2023
Ghost Opera
preview  Kamelot preview  Ghost Opera (2007)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
This is a very solid album, but it's funny how I expect even more from such a masterful band. I feel like the songwriting is too focused on the vocals, like the songs leave it all to Roy to just turn the music to gold. Metal can depend more on the riffing and surprising song structures too. Maybe this album was their chance to go in that direction, but in the end it's still rather beautiful.   May 14, 2023

The Wretched; The Ruinous
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
It's all energetic and all pleasing in its anthemic way, but I don't find it extremely energetic or extremely pleasing. Still positive though. Also, it sounds so close to melodic death metal, but I guess this just shows us how melodic metalcore came into existence thanks to melodeath influences.   May 14, 2023
Nostalgia

I'm impressed by these very succinct and well-crafted songs. They achieve great results by truly embracing the feel of the 80s. Also with that fun cover art, Adam Burke strikes again.   May 14, 2023
Emil Mihai Cioran
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
Almost as powerful as the 2022 album and I feel some influence from depressive BM. I don't know anything about Cioran's philosophy, but I know it inspires Etat Limite to put high levels of emotion into these songs.   May 14, 2023

Feelings of melancholy and tragedy are both extremely strong in these songs. In the past few days I've found tons of great black metal releases, and this is one of the best.   May 11, 2023
Kohti Unholaa

I'm so close to moving this up to 90. Everything is great - from cover art to songwriting, but the perfect vocals and the truly vast variety of singing styles are the most impressive aspects for me. Very very good album with tons of passion.   May 11, 2023

This kind of bluesy and a bit proggy stoner metal works very well without vocals. Very enjoyable.   May 11, 2023
The Death We Seek
preview  Currents preview  The Death We Seek (2023)
level 15 Cosmicism   70/100
A few songs were pretty good, but a lot of them are all sappy. There's a lot of trite cliché lyrics too. The djent that's on this album isn't busy enough or isn't given the chance to stand out. All in all I'll score it average, but there's so much good music released every week, I definitely recommend skipping this one.   May 11, 2023

I like this a lot more than I thought I would. Also, their sound is somewhat unique. I guess it fits into groove metal but not melodeath, and it is kinda almost djent here & there. Anyway, I'm very glad I gave this one a try.   May 9, 2023

Between Death and Dreams
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
I enjoyed this, but not as much as the cover art. I think if you found Lorna Shore to be too extravagant and want something less extreme but in the same style, then this might be what you're looking for. To my ear, there's nothing unpleasant and it's all pretty good.   May 9, 2023

There's a lot of variety of feelings, all rendered from atmospheric black metal. Well done, Hinsidig, and I'll have to check out the members' later bands.   May 9, 2023
Woven into Ashes
preview  Vintersea preview  Woven into Ashes (2023)
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
Avienne's harsh vocals are pure fire; she's been improving over the years though her early work is already great. The drumming has plenty of high-stamina segments as well as proggy mind-breaking segments. Some solo's melted my face off, like at the end of track 1. The songwriting is the best facet of this wonderful album though, and track 2 is a black metal perfection. I will be listening to this album a lot.   May 9, 2023

About the genre, on their bandcamp they say they're blackened death metal, but I only hear melodic black metal. Anyway, all good songs, all played very well, all reminding me of Dissection, and I loved it from start to finish.   May 6, 2023

I'm not usually in the mood for something this pummeling, clobbering, and full of swears, but Machine Head made that kind of music so well with inspiration in every single movement of each song. It's really impressive.   May 6, 2023

I especially like tracks 5 & 7. It's too bad for most of the album the singing is not passionate or dynamic enough, especially on the first few songs. The better songs later on pull up my final score to 80.   May 6, 2023

The fury of classic black metal. This is exactly what I want to hear in execution, composition, and production. The only complaints are about the cover; the logo feels too clean and the photo might make you expect an agonizing, slow, & freezing BM, but this one is all about enjoying the frantic suffering.   May 6, 2023
Killing Innocence
preview  Graveworm preview  Killing Innocence (2023)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
I guess I'm biased; the first thing I think is that it would be better with blackened vocals instead of death growls. The gothic melodies and driving beats incorporate very well. I also have to say that despite the high production value, nothing feels phony or corny to me. Nothing stands out as excellent, and nothing I disliked.   May 6, 2023
Where Owls Know My Name
level 15 Cosmicism   100/100
Music cannot be this good; it's all a conspiracy. Rivers of Nihil actually pays tiny invisible aliens to fly down and jump onto your ears and transmit radio waves into your head, making you think you're hearing this astounding drumming, exquisite moods, and deep messages. No one will ever actually play something this good, but I still loved it when I heard it years ago and I love it more now. I don't care that I'm tricked by those aliens.   May 6, 2023

This album took me by surprise. There have already been a bunch of big names releasing symphonic metal this year, but most not this great. Maybe this album equals Kamelot's release. The Middle Eastern & East Asian elements are used to great effect. I really liked every song.   May 6, 2023

More good work from one of Victoria's many projects. I love the screams. The album gets off to a slow start; I find the first track not as inspiring as the rest of the songs. The drums don't have a good sound in the recording, but I like it a lot anyway.   May 6, 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

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

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
