My pick of the day! This time, Almach really focuses on the folk aspect, making metal secondary for a lot of the tracks. I'm guessing this folk is Afghan music. Anyway, the effect is very energizing. Highly recommended.   Feb 7, 2023

The first half of the album was lackluster for me; I didn't like much of the vocals and the songwriting didn't make much of a point. It improves on the second half a lot. This album has some atmospheric BM on it, but a lot of the time it feels more like general metal, while being pretty dark.   Feb 7, 2023

I listened to this 31-minute EP and thought, "Damn, don't end." For some people this one will be too busy and full of intricacy, but I loved every second of it.   Feb 7, 2023

I like this one more than Colossus. Codex is very dark, but not so heavy. It's progressive ambient style fills me with a very fresh sensation. As for the album cover, I can't decide if I love it or hate it.   Feb 6, 2023

These guys have been around a long time, and this brings quality control throughout the whole solid album. The evil and danger cut right into the listener. Very good.   Feb 6, 2023

The whole room fills with mystical atmosphere, premonitions of evil, and the sensation of being in the midst of a dramatic & fateful story when this album is playing. The mood setting before the main songs does take a while and some people might not have enough patience for this, but I loved the whole thing. The phin combining with black metal is so perfect. Unforgettable album!   Feb 6, 2023

Great playing and it's very soulful as usual from this awesome band.   Feb 6, 2023

I like the guitarwork. There's a great variety of vocals on this one, maybe multiple members of the band are singing. Some of the vocals are good, but there are some I really don't like. Overall, pretty good.   Feb 6, 2023

Good atmosphere and very good sounds. I would like a little more energy, but I still look forward to trying this artist's other albums.   Feb 6, 2023

Very good hard rock with some punk blended in. This formula works very well and I find the songs ranging from okay to good to very good. Scott Weiland does a great job of not hogging the spotlight; his vocals mostly serve the other instruments because of his timing and expert control of mood, like a total pro actor. Of course the instrumentation is very good. I expected a good album, and it's a very good album.   Feb 4, 2023

I totally loved this one. I'd say Riot City's album is a skosh better for the heavy metal album of 2022, but it's a small gap. There is fantastic shredding and singing that gets my blood pumping. Also, this is members of Eternal Champion and Dream Unending.   Feb 4, 2023

The singer mostly fails on this album and he really annoys me. I hear a couple of cool growls but, mostly, he's stuck on the same note 95% of the time and if we're lucky enough that he changes notes it's a tiny change. All these "heavy" breakdowns sound like the guitarists are missing most of their teeth and are standing there laughing at farts while playing slowly. Also, all the swearing on the album is comical, but it's so pathetic the band think they're extreme. Bad.   Feb 4, 2023

Quite the amazing album. For me, almost as good as Bloody Kisses. The songs feel very deep on this one. Peter's pitch black voice and Kenny's lightning-bolt guitar tone are the biggest feast for the ears that has ever existed. Peter, we all miss you.   Feb 3, 2023

I expected excellence & powerful shining passion because it's Déhà, but I didn't know this album was going to be so gothic rock. I started checking if these were Joy Division covers or something. Anyway it's mostly original with one Sedativ cover, and I love the whole album. Just fantastic.   Feb 3, 2023

Yes there's a lot of groovy peaceful psychedelic parts, but some very mean & distorted parts strike a great balance. Well played and full of attitude. Very good instrumental album.   Feb 3, 2023

Very interesting compilation with some variety and a quality album cover. There's some rather raw parts, but mostly it's melodic BM with some symphonic and a playful europop surprise. Enjoyable!   Feb 3, 2023

This album starts off very promising. Some problems I encountered include noncommittal stopping & starting and some parts that feel too repetitive. The depressive mood is very nice though. Considering this is their first release, I have a very strong hunch I'll like their later work much better.   Feb 3, 2023

Demonic & feverish performance here, with great tension between the riffing and the drum beats. Totally obvious somebody has a complete grasp on how timing can make music into an intense emotional experience. Poland's chasm of blackened souls gets deeper & more crowded yet again.   Feb 3, 2023

I was already a big fan of their song 7 Words, and when Around the Fur was released I learned for sure that this was a great band. That's when the video for My Own Summer debuted on 120 Minutes.   Feb 3, 2023

Well played and recorded, but the genuine emotion is the real star of this album for me.   Feb 1, 2023

Reviving your former band after 27 years? That's really commendable. I really enjoyed this one, but they do rip off a couple of famous Metallica riffs. Totally unnecessary; they could've just replaced them with any other guitarwork because the album didn't hinge on those riffs. Oh well, besides that point, it's all good.   Feb 1, 2023

I had a lot of fun listening to this album.   Feb 1, 2023

I really loved the guitar sound, and there are some top-tier choruses. I really respect these guys for not turning phony and thinking only about money; it's totally clear they were focused on the music.   Feb 1, 2023

Solid black metal album from the new one-man-band from the same guy as Draug.   Feb 1, 2023

Tons of energy. I'm still trying to figure out war metal, but it's obvious this is good stuff. Also, The guy from Spectral Wound is in this band, which makes me respect him even more.   Feb 1, 2023

Warning: this is a nazi band. It's sad to learn that because this album is very well written and played. The songs are truly melodious while still heavy, and the upbeat pagan feelings with some atmospheric tendencies are a great combination. While staying vigilant through law enforcement, maybe showing racist people an alternative peaceful mindset can help our societies.   Feb 1, 2023

I really like the 1st track, but the second one is a sloppy slobbering drunken mess of aimless sounds. The 3rd one is medium. I hear how influential the better parts on this EP are, but this dirty murderer is nowhere near as creative as Euronymous was. I think it's time for people to stop pretending Burzum was such a great but scandalously evil artist. His better albums are about half good.   Feb 1, 2023

The songwriting feels like it's telling a story, so it's perfect for this concept album. Rather nightmarish with some great melodies in the chorus.   Feb 1, 2023

Good debut that dips into atmospheric a couple of times.   Feb 1, 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
