My pick of the day. It's amazingly cathartic even when it phases into its most brutal moments. It's interesting how a black metal band can be this brutal without sounding anything like death metal. The sound is really nature-worship but it's their own unique version of it. Yes it's original and it feels really majestic. The album ended before I realized it was a long album with track lengths longer than 15 minutes.   Jan 6, 2023

Very grim, foreboding, & evil feelings fill this album. The guitarwork is very good and gets more interesting the closer you pay attention to it. Extremely extreme extreme metal here. The album cover is probably giving you the right idea.   Jan 6, 2023

For me, The Black Halo is just a tiny bit better than this one. Roy's sense of melody is still totally stunning on Epica like usual. If Epica ever releases an album called Kamelot, then mass confusion will ensue.   Jan 6, 2023

The most impressive thing for me is the songwriting is at such a high level this early for these guys. I didn't really like the last song, and some other moments felt a little weak. I know many people like this era more than the Alissa years, but I think her singing clearly beats Johan's, so I can imagine this album being even better. Overall it's a good album.   Jan 6, 2023

This is a great album for this artist to start with. I really enjoyed the whole thing, though most songs aren't particularly ambitious; they're mostly just extremely fun. There are some fade-outs that weaken the compositions, and the first track did kinda nothing for me. Also, be forewarned that this is very very lo-fi.   Jan 6, 2023

Especially in the first half, it's a lot less industrial than I imagined. I can see how these early Fear Factory albums are influential, but thought it was going to be really top quality, which it wasn't for me. The vocals are a bit of a weak point, and it's a mix of very good to so-so compositions. In the end, it's still a good album.   Jan 6, 2023

I heard something from them a few years ago, and I didn't remember it being this dark and atmospheric. I was really impressed by the grooviness of this album. Awesome guitar-sounds throughout, and it's rather heavy.   Jan 6, 2023

I'm so new to war metal. I thought 2 things. 1 : what on earth am I listening to? 2 : these guys sound like total pros in complete control of the feel & flow of this music. It's not my thing, I'm like a tourist here, but energy and emotion this music communicates is intense.   Jan 6, 2023

The recording is so great on this one; it's such a satisfying sound. After all these years, these guys have that special energy that's hard to find except for in new bands. Totally solid album, Watain.   Jan 6, 2023

Weak, forced, awkward choruses with too much singing, unimaginative songwriting, phony edgy lyrics, and a garbage impression of Jonathan Davis. The cover art is the best part of the album, and the cover art is so-so and immature.   Jan 4, 2023

I'll tell you, if you like having that badboy feeling, Municipal Waste can help you in that department. Ideally this album would have some more variety, but I enjoyed every song. At first listen, the title track was the most fun.   Jan 4, 2023

Very very cathartic songs fill this album, and are worthy of that perfect cover photo. Impressively, this is a debut. I loved every moment of it.   Jan 4, 2023

Infused with very deep emotion even though the composition is rather simple. This is a one-man-band of one of the guys from Marrasmieli. Nature worship done very well.   Jan 4, 2023

Only the 2nd day of the year, and Esoctrilihum challenges all bands across the planet to top this pure dead brilliant masterpiece. I listened to it 3 times in a row. I could not love it more. I hear a style somewhat more like his 2021 album with maybe some influence from Saopth's. In other words, atmospheric black death with synth, and sometimes a symphonic feel. Also it's weird & frightening. My pick of the day, and let's see about the year.   Jan 4, 2023

Thanks to Daniel Dekay and Banger TV for another recommendation. I enjoyed it and I like the space-exploring theme. I don't understand exactly what speed metal is. It sounds like thrash and heavy metal to me. Everything was good and nothing was bad: it's a solid album in the good range.   Jan 3, 2023

Awesome energy on this album, and so far all the best of 2022 list from Daniel Dekay on Banger TV has been high quality, including this one. I read that Midnight is black metal & speed metal, but it sounds very punky to me. Anyway, I loved it even though the sin & debauchery lyrics are totally over the top.   Jan 3, 2023

It's aggressive and angry like extreme metal fans tend to like, but it's the foreboding feelings at the end of this EP that inspire me to give it such a high score.   Jan 3, 2023

Just 45 minutes, but it feels like it's packed with over an hour of high-energy music. Usually I don't like when the songs are so packed with vocals without much break, but these songs are like that and are still amazing & inspiring. I think they made extra sure that everything sounds good before putting it on this album.   Jan 3, 2023

It's cool how these artists from very different sub-genres got together to make such a great album. It feels like bright white fire blowing out of my speakers and burning my face pitch black.   Jan 3, 2023

Nice spacey and bizarre feelings to this album. It seems this man is displaced from Ukraine to Poland. I would like to give him a higher score just because of his hardships. Instead I'll look forward to top-tier albums from him in the future.   Jan 3, 2023

Very high quality all around. I felt a lot of energy and emotion, and the emotion matches perfectly with that amazing cover artwork.   Jan 1, 2023

Fun fun fun fun! The songwriting is more inspired than his 2018 EP. I think B.M. has more good albums under a bunch of old sweaters forgotten in a closet somewhere than most bands have in their entire discography.   Jan 1, 2023

The melodies and guitar sound are fantastic on this album, and the angry woman audio clip in the beginning is great for a laugh. I can tolerate this genre of music once or twice a month, but I still can't enjoy this kind of vocals. It is nice how the vocals are at a low volume though. If you like brutal and or slamming, I bet you'll like this.   Jan 1, 2023

Wow, another album from this guy this year. I am completely in love with the last 2 tracks, and am playing this album again and again. The minutes fly by and suddenly it's at the masterpiece final track yet again. I almost want to give this a perfect 100, but the first half of the album is just a little less powerful, but still very good.   Jan 1, 2023

I really like the soundscapes and atmosphere, but the songs are not my favorite by this artist.   Dec 30, 2022

Very good songwriting with it's variety and tons of feeling. The album cover is cool and fun, but maybe looks a little cheesy. The music is definitely not cheesy; it's something you can take seriously with its sweeping melodies, harsh passion, and dark atmosphere.   Dec 30, 2022

I didn't expect there would be so much soft music on this album, but that stuff really blew me away. Well, I could actually tell it was as good as the heavy parts.   Dec 30, 2022

These guys are total pros, and I'm happy to be introduced to this band by Metal Kingdom.   Dec 30, 2022

Pretty and gothic. Nothing particularly amazed me. I'd say it's more impressive in its instrumentation and production, but doesn't get the blood pumping like music does sometimes.   Dec 30, 2022

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
