Lost Wisdom stands out as a real musical accomplishment. I was pleasantly surprised that nothing was really a mess or lazily repetitive like on many of his other albums. However, I find it mostly mediocre with a few very good points here & there.   Nov 2, 2022

Songwriting on this is good, and there are lush sludgey sounds. For me, the vocal approach is so-so. This album is a nice mix of light & heavy.   Nov 2, 2022

Wow, extremely high quality symphonic BM. The spookiness couldn't be better. Hellhammer slays, and everything else is great too.   Nov 2, 2022

Monstrously melodic, raging with passion, and with those uber gratifying drums you can hear the endurance it takes. Widertod is now here with their 1st EP, and it's glorious.   Oct 30, 2022

This band mixes so many different types of vocals and makes them work together very well to bring a great sense of variety. This album has a lot of deep emotion.   Oct 30, 2022

Not a perfect album, but it's one of the most exceptional and unique albums of the last 100 years. Aleah was so amazing, and I think we'll listen to her for eternity. My favorite song is Broken Mirror.   Oct 30, 2022

Some music is heavy, and some music is extreme. This album is both of those things at a full 100%. I don't listen to grindcore, but mixed in like this I enjoyed it very much. Congrats to Anaal Nathrakh on a great album.   Oct 30, 2022

A massive, powerful, and ambitious double album. The level of beauty wavers down a little at points. Really close to a perfect score, but I need to differentiate. Also, respect to Trent for trying new things and being unorthodox on this one. Into the Void is pure fire, and the hip hop element in many songs works like a charm.   Oct 30, 2022

Overall good album but a little weak here & there. I think the vocals need more emotion at many points. With the songwriting, this album really sets a great mood. Less thrash than other recent Darkthrone releases. This one's kinda basically black metal with some doom riffs, at times rather Iommic. For me, far from the excellence of Old Star, but a little better than Eternal Hails. Best track - Kevorkian Times, tracks 3 & 4 are pretty good too.   Oct 30, 2022

Rafn is quite a riffmaster. It's great to be in a hypnotic zone, but started thinking that Rafn should be in a band and just write the riffs and get some synergy going.   Oct 30, 2022

They all sound professional & proficient. It's pretty good but I can hear how they depend on the singer's super vocal skills, and didn't make the compositions interesting. A few songs around the middle of the album are nice but I find no songwriting very good.   Oct 30, 2022

Respect to Emperor for going in a progressive direction and making it sound good. For me, Prometheus is almost as good as their legendary 90s albums.   Oct 30, 2022

Behemoth deserves some kind of award. First they become great at black metal, then just decide to make a death metal album better than most death metal bands. Also they're now maybe the 1st name to mention in blackened death metal. So much noiceness.   Oct 29, 2022

I thought I would be waiting until next year, but here's Wraithlord again. For me, almost as great as his first album, and I recommend a closer look at this album cover.   Oct 29, 2022

Good & gratifying, and bobbing in an endless ocean of guitar fuzz.   Oct 29, 2022

Nice evil supernatural sound.   Oct 29, 2022

That thick sludge sound is full of passion & inner power. Also there's a Fleetwood Mac cover song. :)   Oct 29, 2022

I haven't been listening to post-metal lately because sometimes it's hard to find what I like out of this vast sub-genre that can have so many different sounds. This awesome instrumental album reminded me there are lots of post artists I really love, and that I should listen to Mountainscape more.   Oct 29, 2022

Yes it's just a 15 minute EP, but these three songs make me swoon & melt! This is the 2nd master-tier release by Tanvald this year.   Oct 29, 2022

Top tier symphonic element here, maybe on par with Epica. The slowest doomiest parts are more filled with adrenaline than most fast metal songs are. It's an amazing perfect blend of sub-genres, pretty close to funeral doom often. This artist is new to me, and they blew me away with this massively emotional album. Contender for Album of the Year.   Oct 29, 2022

Great energy and genuine passion. Lena's charisma blasts through the speaker. After listening to Postmortem Pt. 1 so often for months, I finally heard the whole album, and thankfully many songs are close to that track's super high level. Also nothing's particularly bad, except the last track felt rather pointless. Anyway, respect to Infected Rain.   Oct 28, 2022

Feel free to put this album on while with your grandma. A couple of negatives: sometimes a little too corny. Also, some drum transitions felt extremely trite to me. Positives: stellar singing and gratifying sounds in the recording, especially on the guitars. Not my kind of alternative metal, but it was fun to try something new.   Oct 26, 2022

The Gotmoor guy's atmospheric project with the guy from Āter as well.. Really expert in the art of crafting songs, as you might expect from veterans such as these. It keeps the variety coming, and is full of nice & dangerous feelings as well as sad ones throughout. Recommended.   Oct 26, 2022

Quite good album with a live feel to it. It's noticeably more stoner than doom. At some points, the vocals are performed in a way that drags down the quality a little. Not perfect, but worth a listen.   Oct 26, 2022

It's impressive how filthy & grimy Belphegor's sound gets. I was listening to some happy music and I wanted to bring some balance to the mood. This heavy and infernal album worked perfectly.   Oct 26, 2022

Extreme consistency from Draconian. These songs sounded good to me in the beginning and then totally ambushed me with blasts of melancholy. For decades now this group has been the world's #1 example of awesome beauty & the beast vocals, and all instrumentation is good too.   Oct 26, 2022

Delivers magnificently on the sound the album cover and genre promise.   Oct 25, 2022

This reminds me of the music in the Nether. There's a lot of ambient on this, sometimes almost dungeon synth. When the metal comes in it's not only ferocious but also unique, and gives the image of tunnels or mazes of hallways. I'll listen again, but maybe skip to the metal.   Oct 25, 2022

Evil happiness. This album shows a thorough understanding of black metal's cornucopia. There's some symphonic here & there. Also, it gets rather thrash and sometimes heavy metal. Quite beautiful.   Oct 25, 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
