Dopes to Infinity
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Not as good as Powertrip, but still 100% enjoyable. Also, Monster Magnet was playing the moment Will Riker's beard emerged - I can just feel it. Yes this is extremely cool music.   Feb 15, 2023
More Constant Than the Gods

Very impressive compositions and tons of emotion. I really respect this band for making so many dense layers of beauty in therir songs.   Feb 15, 2023

Especially the first track is kinda cacophonous & scrambled, but most of this album is full of energetic melodies. Glad I gave this band a try. Also note the famous person on vocals.   Feb 15, 2023
An Extraconscious Lucidity
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Especially on Nascency there is some great songwriting on this album. Lucky for us he kept getting better & better, but this older work is a nice listen once in a while too.   Feb 14, 2023
Cold Silence
preview  Sidus Atrum preview  Cold Silence (2019)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
The best album I listened to today. Soul destroying coldness & heaviness. Everything is good, but the vocals are the most astounding. It really doesn't make sense how her first release is this excellent. I guess there have always been brand new musicians who are this phenomenal, but it never stops amazing me.   Feb 14, 2023
The Last Grief
preview  Tristitia preview  The Last Grief (2000)
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
I'm guessing influence from Candlemass, and some from Metallica's 1st five albums. Also there is really minimal black metal influence in the drumming and song structure. Rather good.   Feb 14, 2023
Inner Emigration
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
First of all, I love that album cover. Second, I have a strong suspicion that this guy was listening to Elderwind non-stop for months before writing this album. Anyway, it's good stoner stuff. While it's not great for me, I won't be surprised if I find a great album somewhere in the discography.   Feb 14, 2023
Path
preview  Vvilderness preview  Path (2023)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Vvilderness always keeps it's sound but always tries something new. I loved the Celtic feel to some of the tracks, and the atmosphere is truly great. I feel like this album ends before living up to it's full potential. Though there are top-tier 35-minute albums out there, for Vvilderness I see in the future an even better album if he gets more ambitious and tries something bigger & longer.   Feb 14, 2023

Great energy on this album. Similar to Adromida. Now I see why I have a positive memory of hearing their music 2 or 3 years ago.   Feb 14, 2023
Straight Outta Depths
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
I really loved the punky energy of this crossover thrash album, and I absolutely had to find out what kind of sound went with that album cover. So many good bands have come out in the past few years. I highly recommend this heavy & vigorous release.   Feb 12, 2023

I finally had to hear what Death 'N' Roll sounds like, and I was extremely pleased. Music like this really adds some energy to my steps as I walk. I hope there's more music like this out there.   Feb 12, 2023
An Endless Fire
preview  Ghostwriter preview  An Endless Fire (2023)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Very well thought out songwriting played with a great touch. The parts that sound so simple are somehow charged with extremely powerful emotion despite the softness of most of the album. The blackened parts are used for adding a disturbing feel to the instrumentation that is pretending to sound peaceful. Memorable and very interesting.   Feb 12, 2023
The Cruel Summit

Good post & atmospheric BM. The vocals are more brutal than you might expect. Overall, I like it but don't love it.   Feb 12, 2023
Tragic Idol
preview  Paradise Lost preview  Tragic Idol (2012)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Score of 85, but close to giving it 90. This band has so many good albums, and they're a fantastic example of how to approach the genres of gothic metal and gothic doom. The guitar sounds here are so perfect, and the songwriting is quite strong. The vocals get extremely sentimental without being corny. Definitely a good & solid album.   Feb 12, 2023
Powertrip
preview  Monster Magnet preview  Powertrip (1998)
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
Great songwriting throughout, and this music makes you feel super cool. I really respect how the singer has very good voice and technique, but sometimes he holds back to make the music more dramatic and interesting. Really near perfect album, and I will listen again, many times I think.   Feb 10, 2023

Top-tier dark feelings on this immensely powerful album. I didn't expect I was going to hear such groovy slow tempo and mid slow tempo music. I can't say enough about how captivating the melodies and moods are on this.   Feb 10, 2023

The Cold White Light
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
This is music by serious pros who have a real budget and high production values. However, the corniness of the sound & lyrics had me uncomfortable. I thought I would hear Paradise Lost and Theatre of Tragedy type stuff. Instead it was often grandmacore. I guess in Europe, there is actually a market for radio-friendly grandma-centric metal.   Feb 10, 2023

Requiem for the Spring
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Extremely soothing, almost raw black metal. I would like to hear a little of complexity from the percussion once in a while. Besides that, everything is positive about this album for me. Please keep making music, Desdenova.   Feb 10, 2023
Chamber Music
preview  Coal Chamber preview  Chamber Music (1999)
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
It's a noticeable improvement since their first album. Too much following Koяn's lead. I think they would've done better to look to their own voice in terms of songwriting. Overall, I enjoyed it a little.   Feb 10, 2023
Heliocentric

level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Wow, the really heavy sludge sections of this album are just fantastic. However, there is one corny sappy song that kinda had me in agony, and the song near the end when he just can't stop praying to all these things - that was like waiting in a dentist's office. I'll know which tracks to skip next time to get to the good stuff.   Feb 9, 2023

Imagination

level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
A huge looooong album with only 1 track under 8 minutes. It's ambitious and a recipe for making weak songwriting probable. However, I loved every song and have no complaints. This music is such a barrage on your brain cells that you might want to listen to half and take a break in the middle. It depends on your personality.   Feb 9, 2023

Finally I find a Periphery album that lives up to their stellar reputation. Songwriting, guitar sound, instrumentation - everything is good on this one. I even liked the vocals on this one a lot more than their previous work. Good work, guys.   Feb 8, 2023

Amazing variety on this album. CMND/CTRL sounds like straight up nu metal to me. Usually Chino's lyrics are top tier, but they're not quite as good on some of these songs. Also, there is no limit to how exciting Rocket Skates is for me. Overall, very good.   Feb 8, 2023

Tales of Demonic Possession

This album is very ambitious, and the whole thing works very well. The doominess gets really thick and satisfying, and the trippy parts get rather long while still holding my attention nonstop. Well done, Clouds Taste Satanic.   Feb 7, 2023

Overall, it's a good album. There's a bit too many vocals, and that detracts a little for me. Not as fantastic as www.pitchshifter.com, but I still enjoyed every song.   Feb 7, 2023
Sapphire Moon
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Great discovery for me today. Here's a skillful and inspired one-man-band. I think I hear influences from Distant Dream and Porcupine Tree. There are so many uplifting melodies, but they are contrasted with unsettling tones here and there. All things considered, very good music that puts me in a great mood.   Feb 7, 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
level 15 metalnrock   85/100
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

Nightfall in Middle-Earth

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

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

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
