At some points I was really into this album, and the rest is good too. It's in the depressive style, but it sounds like fighting your way through depression and appreciating both the positive & the negative....... to me anwyway.   Dec 9, 2022

One of the many many high-quality atmospheric BM albums from 2021. This one feels like floating in warmth and transforming, but don't misunderstand; it's also nice and heavy and aggressive.   Dec 9, 2022

Good album from Woods of Desolation. I hear some influence from Ethereal Shroud.   Dec 9, 2022

By my ear, this is funeral doom, and it's a little blackened and has a few death doom moments. Also, it has warm & loving feelings that doom metal almost never has. These guys can think for themselves and they don't let genres and convention box them in. Definitely recommended.   Dec 8, 2022

Great & solid with the usual atmospheric sub-genre elements. However, the drumming gets rather original and very interesting at times. They claim this was improvised on one night. Amazing & romantic to hear that.   Dec 8, 2022

High level of musicianship here, and I really liked how heavy metal pops up here & there for variety.   Dec 8, 2022

Oh hell yeah! That was the sound I made as soon as the first song started, and I felt the same way all the way until the end. Enjoyable as all heck and 100% passionate too. Maybe Static-X's most consistent album.   Dec 8, 2022

I already loved Elffor's music, but he created an album that's even better than I expected. This one has a unique sound in his discography, in that it has this distant howling bass-oriented reverberation that the music filters through. The effect is very striking, and the compositions are immensely emotional and inspired. One of the best albums of 2022.   Dec 8, 2022

Very melancholic debut that is also heavy & dark.   Dec 8, 2022

The last track has a nice run time. There are some very floaty ambient parts to this, but it's balanced well with rock & metal, so I it didn't feel like it was dragging on, which is a highly notable accomplishment considering the scale of this instrumental album.   Dec 8, 2022

I thoroughly enjoyed this album. The singer has quite a voice, but I wish he would alternate between tones more often for variety.   Dec 8, 2022

This is quite a great EP. Really a storm of blackness. Also, don't get me started about that immensely powerful cover art.   Dec 8, 2022

I don't find the same level of vitality that Sevas Tra has, but I commend Otep for confronting real-life problems through their music. UR A WMN NOW had me reflecting for the whole day; it's really haunting.   Dec 8, 2022

All good, but I feel it doesn't get very good until the middle of the album.   Dec 8, 2022

Imagine some black metal wizard in corpse paint who was wandering the chilly rocky wilderness for years and he's all scratched up and bleeding and frostbitten and starving and his clothes are ripped and frayed. Now he just entered some village where hobbits surround him, healing, feeding, hugging and consoling him. This album sounds like that. If you don't believe me just hit play.   Dec 8, 2022

Pain and aggression contrast magnificently with the guitarwork so melancholic it pierces through my chest. Black metal has been great to me today. This melodic album is so good I'll definitely try their earlier work whether or not Pagan means it differs stylistically.   Dec 6, 2022

Washing all over your face with gritty distortion. This is a mean & nasty sound with mid tempos from isolated cold environments. Also, no CD yet, not Vinyl yet, prioritizing Cassette! I salute you.   Dec 6, 2022

Traditional heavy metal here. All is good and production & recording style are in very good taste. Also, the last song is brilliant. Thank you Blayne from Banger TV for the recommendation.   Dec 5, 2022

Quality as good as Omens but I like the style on this even more. The cover art really speaks to me philosophically too.   Dec 5, 2022

Awesome progressive, more stoner-feeling than the first album. Also, they make better use of Tool influence in the rhythms. A little bit better than their 1st album and very close to a perfect score for me. The only real complaint is that I want a longer album. Oh well, rushing great music might backfire....   Dec 4, 2022

It's pretty and it put me in a good mood.   Dec 4, 2022

Definitely not an average album. It has tons of boring & embarrassing songs with mediocre singing, especially the slow ones. However, Stupid Girl and a few other songs are really great and should be on anyone's 2000's alternative mix. It's funny how with those songs, the singer and the musicians suddenly find much more skill & inspiration. Material makes a huge difference.   Dec 3, 2022

The Album Which Transforms Black Metal. I got some spooky & disturbing atmosphere, and I got some heavy chilling heaviness, all like I expected. Also, it got to some serene parts that were excellent for just chilling out. A great album very early in their illustrious career.   Dec 3, 2022

I wanted to hear a Meshuggah album I didn't try yet, and this one didn't disappoint.   Dec 3, 2022

In just 5 years, these guys made an awesome discography. I think I like this one as much as Esoteric Malacology. It gets so deep into a great variety of moods. Also, they have my respect for developing their theme, showing they have some imagination.   Dec 3, 2022

The 2nd amazing black metal release from Poland in just a few days' time. This is so awesomely melodic with more tremolo picking than could fit in that giant castle back there.   Dec 3, 2022

I really liked their style on this album, but in the end I just didn't feel a very big impact. For me, good - not great.   Dec 3, 2022

For me, the instrumentation was nice and busy, energetic but not as grating as metalcore usually is.   Dec 3, 2022

Great surprise for me; I didn't know this album would be anywhere near this good. I was afraid it would be all about the singer being the star, but everyone in the band seems to serve the groove, and this results in an album with no duds. Also, major adult-themed lyrics show up here - just a fair warning.   Dec 3, 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
