Amateras
preview  Blood Stain Child preview  Amateras (2019)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
I rather enjoyed this album. The singer brings real passion. Though it didn't bother me, the trance elements often feel tacked on. Maybe these guys need to lay on the electronic stuff thicker to make it more impressive. I'll try some more albums by them to find out.   Dec 28, 2022
Lament
preview  Zkarv preview  Lament (2022)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
I now learn that this is the same artist who released an album under the name of Gorestine earlier this year. That was pretty good, and this is better. It's a great wash of nostalgic lo-fi rawness.   Dec 28, 2022
Speedster
preview  Traceline preview  Speedster (2018)  [EP]
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
I love this EP because it's from B.M, but it's not as excellent as his masterpieces. Still, I totally adore the style he created for this, and I really want him to produce more for this project.   Dec 28, 2022
Forbidden Land
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
This very special album works perfectly, despite the genres in its description seeming kind of odd. It's a fun journey to musical styles that you never hear together. Also, it's very melodically driven with some great melodies. My pick of the day.   Dec 28, 2022

Pretty good textbook melodic BM. Sometimes the cymbals sound like an annoying metallic wind. Other than that, there's not much bad about this album and I didn't find anything I really liked a lot.   Dec 28, 2022
Nordland I
preview  Bathory preview  Nordland I (2002)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Major respect to Quorthon for taking Bathory in such a different direction with the later albums. It's amazing he did it so well too. There is a little black metal influence in my opinion. Also, the softest parts are the most impressive for me on this album.   Dec 24, 2022

The Return......
preview  Bathory preview  The Return...... (1985)
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
I really love this one - how it sets the mood with the effects at the beginning and with that harsh minimalism. I get more emotion out of this one than the 3rd album. I guess most people disagree with me, maybe this album is just more my style.   Dec 24, 2022

Heaven and Hell
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
For me it's very good, but not in the same league as the first 5 albums. Respect to the Sabbath guys for trying new things, and to Dio for being a giant beast at the microphone.   Dec 24, 2022

Until the End
preview  Kittie preview  Until the End (2004)
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
Kittie really impress with their growing songwriting skills. I think the singer tries to do things that are outside of her vocal capabilities, which is sad because her voice is actually OK. I guess I mean she could just change her approach, sing to her strengths and the songs would improve a lot.   Dec 24, 2022
Remember That You Will Die
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
My brain was constantly exploding. I like how this album gives it's guests the freedom to take it half into other genres. Also, the combination of Chino's vocal melodies and the amazing guitarwork is pure ecstasy.   Dec 24, 2022
Gold Cobra
preview  Limp Bizkit preview  Gold Cobra (2011)
level 15 Cosmicism   55/100
A few good guitar moments. The best songs are almost mediocre, and most are embarrassingly bad. The drums sound too simple. Also, most songs just copy the same pattern. Talk about lazy. Durst puts zero energy into his very weak rhymes and childish lyrics, and his version of singing is just talking in an annoying voice. A lame failure.   Dec 24, 2022

At the Crossroad of Dark Paths
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Very good and interesting instrumentation, especially with catchy alternating patterns. For me, it doesn't grab my heart like their great 2022 album, but it's very enjoyable.   Dec 24, 2022
Crawl to Exceed
preview  Black Comedy preview  Crawl to Exceed (2001)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
I was expecting a weaker version of their 2008 album, but I hear the exact same level of quality. It's fun, serious, and has well crafted songs. The singer is often basically rapping, and getting kind of surly too. This usually means phony macho garbage, but for Black Comedy it sounds sincere, and I have a hunch the songs are about very difficult experiences of the band members. Too bad they broke up, but the drummer is in Abyssic!   Dec 24, 2022
Knowledge Comes with Death's Release
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Nasty thick doom. These guys show tons of promise. The third track is the high point; it's just so massive.   Dec 24, 2022
Blood Ritual
preview  Samael preview  Blood Ritual (1992)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Ignoring the immature and cringeworthy cover art, this is a high quality album. I had no idea it was going to incorporate this much thrash and heavy metal. Solid songwriting and it's all performed with total control over the mood. I especially liked the dank slow rhythms.   Dec 24, 2022
Ruined
preview  Scuzzy Yeti preview  Ruined (2022)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
A range of good music to excellent music. The best songs have soaring melodies, and the singer stands partly in Chris Cornell territory and a little in Dio's too. Very glad I gave this one a listen, and another listen etc.   Dec 24, 2022
Was der Morast verschlang
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
A straight black metal album of real quality here. It is rather melodic and has some clean guitars. Mostly it has a dramatic feel but sometimes it's very evil as well.   Dec 24, 2022
How to Build a Monolith
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
This album always helps me when I'm working on something, and it's perfect for the morning too.   Dec 24, 2022
Enantiodromia
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
It sounds like these guys are real pro, as in the musicianship is impressive. I know it's tech death and not brutal, but still it's a bit too much brutality for me. If you want brutality, I think you'll enjoy it a lot. Also, it has a very well developed mood that unites all the songs.   Dec 24, 2022
The Seventh
preview  Aethyrick preview  The Seventh (2022)  [EP]

Beautifully atmospheric as I hoped for. It also has an extremely urgent feel to it.   Dec 24, 2022

Highly motivated songs all the way through, and the mood is perfect. Autumn 2022 was the time for awesome BM releases from Poland.   Dec 21, 2022
Forgotten Kingdoms of the North
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
I didn't like these songs anywhere near as much as I liked 2022's album, but the band still gives me good vibes and I look forward to trying all their other releases. Also, the cover art is loads of fun.   Dec 21, 2022
Nightfall

This has the most amazing contrast between energetic swaggering riffs and mournful crooning vocals. I loved it.   Dec 21, 2022

The passion comes through very clearly, and I even loved the tribal chants. The only question I have is why did the record company choose Ratamahatta for introducing Sepultura to a whole generation?   Dec 21, 2022

When 7 Words came out I was ecstatic. Overall, Adrenaline is as gratifying as musically possible. The guys evolved with their next albums and learned how to access a deeper esthetic sense. This is still a totally solid album though.   Dec 18, 2022

Absolutely love this album. I even love the singing, which is funny because his voice is kinda annoying. I remember hearing Genius when it was a single, and that was a great surprise on playing this album. The drum&bass genre mixed with metal is pure fire on this album. This is what I wanted Aphex Twin to play before I learned their straight up ambient. Definitely a fan of Pitchshifter now.   Dec 18, 2022
Savior Sorrow
preview  Mushroomhead preview  Savior Sorrow (2006)
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
Some good songs and some corny radio-friendly songs. It's like when they tried for a hit single the songwriting decreased in quality, and the singing got cringey. On the other songs, the guitar sound is super gratifying, and the songs have real motivation. All in all, maybe I'll skip 2 or 3 songs, but listen to it again happily.   Dec 18, 2022

level 13 Harlequin   90/100
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
level 15 metalnrock   95/100
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
