I'm really looking forward to the new release next month, so I had to listen to something by Djevel. I was not disappointed. This album sounds as great as the cover art. I'm picking up on some 1st wave influences mixed in to the mostly 2nd wave soundscape.   Oct 15, 2024

Solid industrial as usual from Strapping Young Lad, but I don't love it as much as City.   Oct 15, 2024

Pretty good metal and rock that feels like it could also be played in a dance club.   Oct 15, 2024

Ouch, there's a lot of buttrock and a lot of filler on this weak album. The lyrics are awful, the clean singing is mostly bad, and the harsh vocals are so-so. The stronger moments lean more toward the nu metal side of things, but even the best moments are just okay.   Oct 14, 2024

Last week I caught up with the September Blaynecore recommendations. Many thanks are due for this recommendation. Absolutely my pick of the week for last week. On their bandcamp page they mention Hellhammer, early Celtic Frost, and Darkthrone's Panzerfaust. Of course I'm interlacing my fingers next to my cheek and fluttering my eyelashes. Worthy of these influences. This excellent album put great spring in my step all day.   Oct 14, 2024

Tabeltop players be alerted; this is a perfect listening choice when you're playing an RPG with your friends. Good thrash, and the symphonic element never has a tacked-on feeling. Good all around.   Oct 14, 2024

This nice EP does a great job at capturing the fun of listening to thrash riffs. Despite the AI cover art, there is 100% obvious human effort that went into composing & practicing these songs. A bad to watch for sure.   Oct 14, 2024

Some of the clean vocals were a bit of a turnoff, but there are some very satisfying djenty segments on this impressive album. It's worth noting that the juggernaut 20-minute closing track doesn't drag for a bit - a real accomplishment.   Oct 7, 2024

Good music, and I got the feeling that my vehicle was speeding down a highway even when it was fully stopped.   Oct 7, 2024

Good doom, and it gets into rather jazzy territory without making it a turnoff even for a metalhead like me.   Oct 7, 2024

What a fantastic album by Mesarthim here. The melodies feel fresh & original to me, not confined by black metal even though it's fully committed to the black metal sound & spirit.   Oct 7, 2024

One of many solid albums by the dependable Celeste.   Oct 7, 2024

A major downside of this release is the annoying unfunny audio clips. The music is so-so; I didn't feel a big impact from the songs, but I was mildly into some. A meh release of 2024, but rym is nuts for it. I think they're just so amused at the mix of gangsta rap social signifiers with extreme metal ones.   Oct 7, 2024

While this is pretty impressive and has some good moments, I keep wishing they would stop slowing down and hesitating to make it dramatic when the sound kicks back in. That pattern just doesn't work for me, so the album is good but it could be trimmed and improved quite a bit.   Oct 7, 2024

Note to self, music with a Dune theme doesn't have to be stoner or progressive. The point of this release is to feel like you're in an 80s scifi movie with an electronic score. Pretty cool.   Oct 7, 2024

Please note that this is not metal, even though there's another SXAP release that is metal. Anyway, this kind of ambient stuff is cool with my ears every once in a while. It set a nice serene mood... of course it's a desolate unsettling soundscape, don't get me wrong.   Oct 7, 2024

Evil and bracing. Good debut album by a promising band. Very happy to see black metal that's this traditional and fully raw staying relevant.   Oct 7, 2024

Even though this is Sxuperion's ambient project, this album is a very atmospheric blackened death metal with hints of war metal & doom. This kind of dark soundscape made me melt into my seat. Rather close to his Cabinet project. It's really great and he proves he has his own style (despite having projects in so many genres).   Oct 7, 2024

Thank you BMP for introducing this nice EP from the 90s. If an album cover like this is what you want translated into sound, you'll get what you want here.   Oct 7, 2024

A pretty album that makes me feel very positive about life. Just don't tell the guys from Revenge and Blasphemy I experienced these feelings though - it would really break their hearts. On the serious side, the weaker songs on the album seem like less effective versions of the better songs. I think they should have scrapped those songs and added in more variety.   Oct 7, 2024

Good & satisfying debut by Agnosy.   Oct 7, 2024

Some songs near the beginning didn't convey much emotion to me, but tracks like 7, 10, & 11 made me really glad I gave the album a try.   Oct 7, 2024

At some points I was enjoying this one, but some of it felt awkward to me. Okay / not bad.   Oct 7, 2024

Not a perfect album, but it sure has some great moments. Phil gives it real effort and there some very pleasing guitar melodies.   Oct 1, 2024

That title and cover art really speak my language. The music is a good match, and I hope I hear this band perfect its craft on future releases.   Oct 1, 2024

Track 4, Lust for Crust, delivers what it advertises. The vocals on this album are mostly rather deathy, and there are plenty of moments when crust or sludge make themselves obvious. Very satisfying music.   Oct 1, 2024

It does need more variety in the drumming. Overall it's just okay, but track 6 was a very nice high point.   Oct 1, 2024

It's their 2nd release and first full-length, and it's every bit as captivating as I hoped for. There's clear dedication to quality, and there's real inspiration. My pick of the day; a band to definitely keep an eye on.   Oct 1, 2024

Those D-beats are a vitamin we need once in a while. Also, the guitar tone is so chunky it gives even more meaning to the crust in crust punk. Wonderfully rebellious & satisfying.   Sep 30, 2024

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.   2 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
