Riff ecstasy and great great songwriting. I like the vocals' style, but I think he should perfect his technique a little more. Some critics are really against intros, but they haven't heard this intro. I was laughing and howling and shaking with joy. Best. Intro. Ever.   Oct 18, 2022

Throat singing with stoner doom? Yes please. It's really bluesy and dank and psychedelic, and then it shifts to Sleep worship. All good things from this brand spanking new artist.   Oct 18, 2022

Best yet from Durbatuluk. This exceeded my expectations and I expected good. Farvanns vocals surprised me with their quality and their fiery power. Hymir laid down some monstrous drumming on this album, and please note his performance on one of the best releases of 2021 - Sickle of Dust's album. Everything about this Durbatuluk album makes me super happy, even that album cover, which I find just perfect.   Oct 18, 2022

I really love Venerate Me and think it's a highlight of 2022. No other song on this album is anywhere near as good as that though. Most songs are similar sonically, and even go on and on about the same lyrics and themes. Production & proficiency are great, but some parts don't make me feel any passion. A real mixed bag for me.   Oct 18, 2022

Based on the album cover, it's exactly as I wanted it to sound. Also, track 6 is a classical instrumental that I surprisingly enjoyed and is a perfect outro to match with the album as a whole. I think it's a debut and therefore many congratulations are due the artist.   Oct 16, 2022

By the way, the title is Greek for eidolon. Also the artist calls this music 'underwater black metal'. That's so unique and so fitting for it's wonderful sound, reverberating deep feelings. Highly recommended for anyone who doesn't need the same old same old.   Oct 16, 2022

Feeling spiteful? This album is a perfect match for your mood. I'm not crazy about the vocals, but all instruments and songwriting too are rather high tier. Respect to these blackened death metal veterans.   Oct 16, 2022

It's overwhelming how much great music is on this huge album. So close to a perfect score. Songwriting here is just a little less expert than on Omega in my opinion. Anyway, Epica is definitely what all symphonic metal bands should look up to.   Oct 16, 2022

I like this one a lot more than his 2018 and 2022 releases. Anyway Rémi, please keep producing music; someday you'll do even better than this monstrously enjoyable album.   Oct 16, 2022

I get the feeling this music makes a mockery of your emotions. I don't know if that's what depressive fans like. However, the guitar work sounds very articulate to me, so I think this is well played, just not for everyone.   Oct 15, 2022

The best I've heard from Nostalghia yet. So extremely dramatic in feeling. At some points it works in some straight jazz naturally & effectively. The sax is a real highlight, but mostly this is a collection of pure genius songwriting. A+   Oct 15, 2022

It almost breaks the rules of quantum physics how the stunning climaxes come again and again. This album is everything: cold, evil, head-bopping, & full of attitude. Also, there're some top-tier solos on it. Yes it's in a deeply melodic style, but also feels kinda pagan in some melodies, and has some folky parts that integrate into the metal perfectly. Some of us might be suspicious of all those short interludes because they usually detract from an album, but they don't here.   Oct 15, 2022

It's not my cup of tea, but I'm really glad I tried it once. High level of execution, and great job on recording.   Oct 14, 2022

Dank sludge with nasty guitar tones. It also gets all bluesy at times. Very solid album.   Oct 14, 2022

A very good album for astral projecting. Influences seem to be Dark Space and Lustre. This one put me in a zone, and I enjoyed it a whole bunch.   Oct 14, 2022

I really liked it, and toward the end of the album I totally loved it.   Oct 14, 2022

Overall this is great. The 1st track had me worried that it was going to be an album of stuff I don't like, but starting with track 2 it's all good. I like how it has some mellow intros with clean guitars and all, but then the heaviness kicks right in. No boring ballads on this great album.   Oct 14, 2022

These guys have a very good sound, and you can hear how pro these musicians are. Unfortunately, I keep just starting to get into a song and then it ends or, even worse, fades out. If it's not just me, they would benefit from critiquing their compositions more. Here's to hoping the next one will realize their full potential.   Oct 14, 2022

So many black metal projects from Greece this year, especially atmospheric ones, especially ones that are new to me. Few are as captivating as the awesome, often spooky, atmospheres of this album. Also, it goes out on a triumphant yet terrifying song that wraps things up with top-notch showmanship.   Oct 14, 2022

Melancholic as all hell and epic as all hell. This is a truly beautiful album.   Oct 14, 2022

Passionate and awesome. Stylistically, it's not as post as some of his other music. There's some straight black metal on here too. Also, I'll understand if you're not reading this comment because you're just staring at the album cover.   Oct 14, 2022

Holy cow, I really loved this one. ... even more than Monotony Fields. The mood is incredible. Also, I thought it was cool how they broke right into a driving beat for one song. Overall, masterful funeral doom.   Oct 13, 2022

Style-wise, this one's more focused on post-black metal, seeing as it very often shifts into other genres of music. At one point it even sounds like A Perfect Circle. It's good, but I recommend starting with his other more powerful albums.   Oct 13, 2022

Compared to Panzer Division, I like everything more on Opus Nocturne: the riffs, the vocals, the guitar sound, the songwriting. Maybe demonic rituals as a sound is more enjoyable for me than a war theme. Anyway, I really love this album.   Oct 13, 2022

For me, it starts with a song of super high caliber. Then the songs in the middle slip down to simply good or so-so. Luckily it closes with a song that moves me every bit as much as track 1. It's definitely worth listening to again many times due to the excellent bookends.   Oct 12, 2022

This is a wonderful murky swamp to sink into. It's just their demo, so I'm hoping for true greatness soon from these guys.   Oct 12, 2022

Well played and it's high-quality songwriting with demonic vocals. I'm very close to giving it a score of 90, but just not close enough by the tiniest bit. Also, respect is due to this one-man band: he sounds like a 3 or 4 person group that practices a lot.   Oct 12, 2022

This was a real treat. I loved how on the title track it goes into the same metalcore breakdowns all bands do, and then it switches right into Ice Nine Kill's awesome signature sound, replete with that super theatrical feel. It's not all great, but I didn't dislike anything. The title track, Funeral Derangements, and Farewell II Flesh are pure gold.   Oct 12, 2022

The heaviness of this one just envelopes me. Overall good with no particular downsides. A great sound to the recording, and it's also slightly symphonic at some places.   Oct 12, 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
