Filth Pig

Great gritty sound and it sets a strong bleak mood. I just loved each song. My favorite for today.   Feb 22, 2023
Shades of...
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
It's a good start, but on later albums their sound evolved into something totally excellent. It's inspiring to see how the band started with a great vision, and then they worked & worked until that vision was improved immensely.   Feb 22, 2023

Actually there isn't much industrial on this one. Maybe some song intros are. The singing gets annoying. It's too commercial sounding. Auto Tune shows up. I half start enjoying some songs, but then something goes wrong and makes it unpleasant. You should probably avoid this album.   Feb 22, 2023

This collection is full of very positive vibes. Also, it dips into trance for some variety. Rather nice.   Feb 22, 2023

Now trying an earlier album from them, I find it at almost the same level of quality. It's a pleasant surprise. While I rate this at a rather high level instead of great, it is super listenable and replayable to fans of sludge & doom... meaning me. I guess it's better to always aim for top tier but if they maintain this level, I'll keep listening; their sound is extremely satisfying.   Feb 22, 2023
Of Mountains, Rivers and the Moon at Night
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Icy and hypnotic. I remember enjoying some releases from this artist some years ago, so I'm really glad to be reminded of his work. A+ in the style department. Solid EP - rather good.   Feb 21, 2023

Really enjoyable and satisfying doom. There are no particular missteps, but it could be more powerful. I'm just guessing, but maybe it needed some more takes until they found a way to work in more emotion. Anyway, for me it's good but not excellent.   Feb 21, 2023

A great and well-rounded album. I especially love Boris. The most ambitious track that takes the most risks on the recording is the best part. When that's the result something is going seriously right. I will be returning to this album in particular; it really hits the spot.   Feb 21, 2023

Respect to Melvins for this obviously influential album. Thank you Kurt Cobain for working with these guys. However, the last two tracks drag down the quality level a little for me. The rest of the tracks are only positive.   Feb 21, 2023

If you didn't notice, this is a supergroup. Also, it sounds exactly like a supergroup. Totally heart-wrenching in a way that helps me just enjoy life. After last year's Shape of Despair album was as excellent as expected, here's something excellent that I didn't expect. We should all thank these guys for collaborating and putting in the effort. I totally loved this album.   Feb 21, 2023

Successful in achieving that sound of nature worship. It also made the whole 42 minutes extremely pleasant. This is the same artist as Windveill, which I liked as well. For Autrest, this is a great start to the project.   Feb 21, 2023

It's an interesting journey through the contours of the thall side of djent, though without the vocals. I find it nice to have this one playing in the room, but it doesn't give me a strong emotional response. Overall, pretty good.   Feb 21, 2023

I'm really impressed. I catch Boris T's videos once in a while, but a Youtuber chatting about music topics creates an album at such an elite tier? That's an inspiring fact. The melodies & transitions work so well throughout the album to fill me with an intense feeling of drama. There is also expert control in keeping the lo-fi sound just enough to make it both gritty and detailed. Highly recommended to anyone who listens to black metal.   Feb 21, 2023

Some songs flow perfectly and are performed really in the moment. Some other songs are just so-so for me. I really appreciate the variety between really traditional bm and black 'n' roll. Overall, rather good while still sounding like a very good band. I have a hunch they have some better albums.   Feb 21, 2023

The very very gruff vocals are the prominent feature of this recording. Some of us prefer that style, but here I didn't enjoy them so much. Other than that, these are pretty good songs recorded with an extremely satisfying guitar sound.   Feb 20, 2023

Ethereal and sentimental beauty, mixed with the right amount of aggression and anger. A lot of bands try to get these 2 polar opposite feels, but this band does in such an expert way. Congratulations on this great album.   Feb 20, 2023

level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
The more I try Samael's albums, the more solid their discography seems. However, this album just feels like a straight black metal album with a slight industrial feel to the recording. Not the genre I was expecting, but still rather good.   Feb 20, 2023
울트라맨이야 (Ultramania)

Very tight instrumentation and good taste in songwriting on this nu metal album. I kept thinking, 'If Limp Bizkit wants to stay with their same old style of music but also stop being cringeworthy, than they should try to learn from this album.'   Feb 20, 2023

京's vocals are powerful and full of theatrics. While this is a major strong point of this album, the singing often gets too frequent and doesn't give me enough breaks some times. Maybe slightly overrated, but only slightly, because there are some massively powerful songs here.   Feb 20, 2023

I really enjoyed this album, and the cover art is great for stoking the imagination. The vocals get rather deathy, and for me those parts are just so-so. Other than that, this is a great way to combine black metal & industrial.   Feb 20, 2023

level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Great grooves & atmosphere. I also love this kind of cover photo, no matter how common it is. The artist's bandcamp page says it's about death & rebirth, and it sounds like that, not like anything depressing for me. I don't want any hopeless or negative attitude attached to music I listen to, and I didn't encounter any of that on this quality album.   Feb 20, 2023

Forgotten Mountains

level 15 Cosmicism   100/100
Powerful emotions are in every song on this album. Stylistically, it's their most similar to Arpitanian Lands, my favorite. I have a feeling many of their fans feel the same, and that Enisum is listening to us. Familiar territory, but they found new & distinct compositions that fit in this territory, and they do it better than any other metal band out there. Contender for album of the year.   Feb 20, 2023
Unconsciousness

level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Good solid black metal with really no weak point. I now notice this is their 1st album. Definitely a great place to start. By the way, the album cover looks like industrial metal, but the music is absolutely not - except for the first minute, which makes me feel like an industrial album is about to begin, but then it goes straight to black metal. I think they're playing around with us.   Feb 15, 2023

The guitarist is from Gaerea, and the drummer used to be in Gaerea. Here, these two musicians are massively successful in creating an astounding album in a totally different sub-genre. This is my pick of the day and I'm 100% sure it will be a highlight of 2023. Also, it's about a giant's dying moments. Anyway, if this album gets overlooked, I really pity the world.   Feb 15, 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

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
