Cosmicism 70/100I learned this is 4 of their pre-existing songs, now made to sound very 1983 by switching them to a synthwave and new wave style. I don't like the way they write choruses, and the singing suffers from being commercial in approach. Also, if you're not as old as Ozzy, just skip all those FX & editing with the vocals please. I give it an average rating, but actually the production is pretty awesome instrumentally but the songwriting is weak, so I split the difference. Oct 25, 2022

Cosmicism 85/100Chilly & evil songs with a nicely-done lo-fi sound. Rather traditional, though through melody it gets pretty atmospheric here & there without being within Atmospheric BM as a genre (also no synth etc.) Gratifying & great to go walking to. Oct 24, 2022
Cosmicism 85/100Thank you Metal Kingdom. You help me find more good djent, like this fun energetic album. Oct 24, 2022

Cosmicism 85/100I love the bounciness of this album. Also, the way these songs shift suddenly between contrasting movements works extremely well, which didn't work well at all on St. Anger. A problem on Death Magnetic is that some lyrics have awkward wording, but this is an extremely replayable album. Oct 24, 2022
Cosmicism 85/100Lots and lots of fun on this electronica & djent album. The Algorithm is very dependable. Oct 23, 2022
Cosmicism 80/100The dankness is here, but not as gloriously as their 2021 album. Oct 23, 2022
Cosmicism 80/100Good first EP by this new Belgian duo. Oct 23, 2022
Cosmicism 85/100A good instrumental album with some Tool influence. At some points it reminds me a little of Cult of Luna, though that similarity might be more coincidental. At a couple points, I feel the songs spend too much time with just the rhythm section. However, every time I listen to it, I'm left feeling in a great mood. Definitely good and playful music. Oct 23, 2022
Cosmicism 90/100Very rich sound. It's almost a one-man band, except he has a session drummer. He goes for a modern feel. I like being in the woods with black metal, but variety is cool, right? Oct 23, 2022
Cosmicism 95/100This artist is new to me, and this album is really impressive. Be forewarned; this band specializes in dissonance. The end result of this dissonance is a busy rich and full sound, like the aggression they let out bounces off the walls and creates a chilly blackened maelstrom. Noice. Oct 23, 2022
Cosmicism 100/100These guys owe us all a serious apology for ending their album of such astounding music at 30 minutes. The 1st track starts off like blackened doom, which is a blast if you were just listening to a doom album before it. Riffs, vocals, songwriting, everything is so strong on this. A major highlight of this year. Oct 23, 2022
Cosmicism 95/100The fuzzy riffs of doom will soak your body and leave your soul as dank as cave, and somehow you'll be wearing more leather that just came out of nowhere. Really glad I found this band. Oct 21, 2022
Cosmicism 90/100Raw & atmospheric aren't enough for this album. There are gregorian chants and folk arias between tracks. As you might be guessing, it's bleak, eerie, and freezing. I think one scream in the first half somewhere was a little awkward. Besides that, everything is well written and well played, especially for a debut from a one-man band. Oct 21, 2022
Cosmicism 95/100My pick of the day. Besides too much silence between tracks, this is a near perfect album with a nasty thick sound and horrifying atmosphere. The album cover could not be better. An unforgettable experience. Oct 21, 2022
Cosmicism 80/100It has lots of groove and a good atmosphere. I feel like passion is kind of missing, like it's more technical than emotional. Still good though, and the cover artwork's theme is noice. Oct 21, 2022
Cosmicism 85/100There's a lot of fun in the screeching darkness on this album, and some stunning riffs here & there. I find the songwriting a little uneven, and sometimes vocal melodies are a skosh bland. For me, not so near perfection, but definitely good and enjoyable. Oct 21, 2022

Cosmicism 85/100This has a very impressive feeling of dread, and the word Corridors fits this sound so perfectly. The vocals detract from the quality to a degree. The low rumbling voice is not audible enough, like I can't feel the voice. Of course I didn't expect to discern any lyrics, but I want to feel the voice, and I think it's composed like we should get a message from these vocals. Other than that, it's very good. Oct 21, 2022
Cosmicism 95/100A suprergroup of 3 veterans (including Ancient Wisdom) gives us a total commitment to straight black metal. This is riff-paradise in the fires of hell. Well written and seething with attitude and so gratifying. I feel like if I break into a crypt now these guys will be playing in it and I can just hang out and watch. Oct 20, 2022
Cosmicism 85/100It's reassuring how people in Malaysia can get away with making such demonic music. This is a good album that revels in the classic 90s sound. At a couple of points I felt like the vocalist wasn't introducing enough tension and emotion. Overall, still a solid album. It's best aspect for me is the tremolo picking. Oct 20, 2022
Cosmicism 95/100First of all, that album cover, even if you erased the ants, is a great image to match with the title, making the paradox actually prove possible. Musically, it's all good and progressively fun, until the end where it's friggin' genius as all bloody heck. It's like the very long songs challenge the guys enough to force out there deity-level virtuosity and composing skills. Those last two tracks are astounding. Oct 20, 2022

Cosmicism 95/100Extremely consistent with good music from the start until the end. Great compositions and great vocals. I find so many singers who take a real angry surly approach lack variation and just sing too much as well. Not the case here. Havukruunu triumphant as usual. Oct 20, 2022
Cosmicism 95/100While the instruments tell of massive drama and the passing of time, the vocals are frantic with despair, suffering, & deep feelings that might have no words in most languages. I've been telling myself to give this one a real listen for so many months, and I finally got to it on a day filled with albums at this inhumanly high tier. Lucky me. Oct 20, 2022

Cosmicism 90/100Very very good album buy the Katatonia guys who had high level musical skills since the early years. I learned that this album is death doom, but I didn't expect the driving beats that show up at many points in the record, nor did I expect those driving beats to work so well. Also, at one point they slip into that smooth gothic metal that I thought started in the 2000s. Really glad I tried this one out. Oct 20, 2022

Cosmicism 95/100Tons of excellent music with an emotional weight that left me reeling. I feel like some songs in the first half have too many brutal breakdowns and pauses. It would be better if these were rarer special moments. Pain Remains I, II, & III are certifiably masterpiece tier. Oct 20, 2022

Cosmicism 95/100Gorgeous & invigorating power metal with true vocal heroics and guitarwork that blows my mind at some points. It also has a really nice ambush of black metal influence in the last song. By the way, is Brittney the one who unleashes the archers and the other bandmates are the archers? Oct 20, 2022

Harlequin 90/100신화 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

metalnrock 85/10085-90, 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

sierrahotel 80/100어쿠스틱 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

metalnrock 95/10090-95. 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

metalnrock 100/10095-100 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

metalnrock 90/10085- 90 채스틴의 기타가 바삐 움직인다. 당시의 다른 기타리스트와는 다른 맛이 있다. 레더 레온은 참 좋은 보컬같다라고 생각을 또 하게 되었다. Oct 27, 2024

BernardoCasarin 95/100Their 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

metalnrock 85/10080-90. 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

metalnrock 85/10085-90 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

metalnrock 90/10085-95. 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

metalnrock 80/100훌륭한 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
