To me, it sounds like they are totally capable musicians. Unfortunately on this album, they're just reworking obvious elements of a bunch of Type O Negative songs, and the result is weaker music that doesn't flow as well the Type O Negative stuff. Please guys, just come up with your own melody and build an original song around it. In the end, this album is so-so, but we should just listen to the originators instead.   May 6, 2023

I liked it more than I thought I was going to. The drumming is great. I'm not so into Overkill's vocals, but on this album I found all the vocals fun & playful. Also, I was assuming that fans of Metallica's 72 Seasons would not enjoy this album, but I enjoyed both. Respect to the Overkill guys.   May 6, 2023

Good doom that is not always slow. I like very slow doom, but this is a refreshing change. After listening to The Nest's album last year, I thought I should look up the main projects from the collaborating members, so I wasn't surprised that Dread Sovereign is this good.   May 6, 2023

First of all, a lot of bands are named Malphas. Second of all, the drummer is also in Thron and Aara (and Aara released one of the best metal album of this year). Third of all, this Malphas album is great all the way through. In other words, the other members are on the same high level as the drummer. All good news.   May 6, 2023

Blackened thrash goodness. I was into the whole album, but not extremely into it.   May 6, 2023

Oh Hell Yes!!!!! This is number one out of my new discoveries of this week. This is all good stuff, but middle section of the album, well, most of it, is the absolute top-tier music. It has deep melancholy, nostalgia, grieving, & anger too. I love this EP like crazy.   May 6, 2023

Good riffing and good composition overall. The vocal style is not quite my thing. You might not be surprised that this one dips into atmospheric BM territory a little here & there (because of that excellent cover artwork). Doesn't feel top tier to me, but I'll be content to hear it again.   May 6, 2023

Compared to Brightside, the songs are better; in other words, I really really like it. Also, the sound of this recording feels just right to me.   May 6, 2023

The energy is so good I'd bet anything these guys were great live. Also, that's an awesome cover to match the album title.   May 6, 2023

Oh Night, Take me Away! I loved the consistent flows of both aggression and melancholy.   May 6, 2023

I'm pleased to find this artist dependable. This is good energetic djent that exists in the cringe-free world of instrumental music.   May 6, 2023

The orchestrations are truly amazing, with tons of variety, and are completely relevant to the metal, so they're not extra in any way. The amazing color palette on the cover art matches how different the various parts of the album are from one another. You might be guessing this is all campy but it's absolutely not; it's serious and well made.   Apr 29, 2023

Well produced and good compositions. I don't really get excited by this music, but I can hear the skill level. I guess I'm impressed but not moved.   Apr 29, 2023

I'm glad Osmose Productions just put out a remaster of this album, because it prompted me to finally give this one a try. There is great variety in tempo. The slow parts are creepy and unsettling. The faster parts are evil and threatening. Great vocals & an awesome drum sound. Super high quality all around.   Apr 29, 2023

Elfstone is absolutely one of the best songs of all time. I feel like some parts of this album are filler, and that's the only reason I don't give it a perfect score. It's all in a gorgeous D.I.Y. sound, and the melodies and atmosphere are master tier.   Apr 29, 2023

These compositions are based so much around the singing melody, but some of those melodies aren't as evocative or playful as I'm looking for. Also, I think tracks 9 and 10 are the only very high quality material here; I'll definitely listen to those 2 songs again. For me, the rest is kind of average.   Apr 29, 2023

I liked all the songs on this album, but there are so many sudden track changes that I don't think I'll listen to this one much. It's hard to decide how much to deduct for this flaw because it's still good music.   Apr 29, 2023

It's obvious these guys find true inspiration in Hindu mythology. I just want a longer album, please.   Apr 29, 2023

The songwriting in Antares is a little better. Also, on this one I felt the harsh vocals could have been a little better. Overall, still good.   Apr 29, 2023

Great 80s sound & echo on this recording. Just beautiful songwriting non-stop.   Apr 29, 2023

Today I went this far back in their discography, and I got something even more powerful than I expected. What a great band.   Apr 29, 2023

Very atmospheric BM with some strong melancholy coming through at the same time. The band name is maybe the best sounding name I've heard in a long time. Wonder what it means.........   Apr 27, 2023

Brilliant compositions that are recorded & produced in a very very Trent way. Marilyn's voice sounds astoundingly good on just about everything. After some years, I was shocked that Tourniquet is even better than I remembered it. Safe to call this one a legendary album.   Apr 27, 2023

Yes I really loved this, so hail comfy synth! Also, it strongly reminds me of peaceful songs by Nobuo Uematsu, mostly bgm for villages or indoor home scenes, which is a compliment.   Apr 27, 2023

It's not my cup of tea, but I can clearly hear how well played it is, and how much control they have over the tone and atmosphere. Also, for once, metalcore sounds like half heavy metal and half hardcore punk. Respect to Converge.   Apr 27, 2023

This album blew me away. The vocals are much better than Pentagram. Also, I hear some atmospheric BM, and some pagan too. Am I crazy? I'm surprised it sounds that way to me considering it's 1996. Anyway, truly great black metal here.   Apr 26, 2023

Good dependable black metal. So many new BM bands from Poland; I can't even keep track. I hear a good evil sound and some good energy.   Apr 26, 2023

First of all, retro album art for the win here. For a while now, I feel like I find so much good stoner doom, but never great. These days I'm breaking that streak of bad luck. This is truly great stoner doom. Actually, I love how it hangs out in heavy metal territory for a few bars and then just blasts you with dank stoner doom or staggering straight doom. Here's a recent band to keep on your radar.   Apr 26, 2023

Very melodious songs, all done in extremely good taste. For me, though, track 4 blows everything else away. I can't stop thinking about that incredible song. One of the best tracks this year, if not number 1.   Apr 26, 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
