Good album, and I'm glad to be introduced to this band. It's a very even blend of black metal & death metal. There's also some thrashy riffing which apparently harkens to their earlier albums. Also some symphonic elements. That's a lot of influences but it works together well & naturally by real pro musicians. Definitely going to listen again.   Sep 17, 2022

Were you like me? Were you about to accuse Deadlife of ripping off Hermóðr? They're the same guy so........ Anyway it does get a little repetitive: it's too much of the same beat. It does have nice moments and I can't say it anything sounds bad. Not so depressive really. Pleasing melodies.   Sep 17, 2022

This man is really showing something deep down in his blackened soul with the timing, melodies, and especially the vocal performance. This is so crackling and raw, and depressive to some degree, and the atmosphere grabs full hold of my attention. It's like the sound didn't even go into my ears but soaked right into my chest.   Sep 16, 2022

I'm glad this artist released such a nice and long album. It's great for getting in a trance. I guess the next level for Black Sky Giant is to get some crazy nimble complex parts in there. Anyway, this is still super pleasant.   Sep 16, 2022

Brilliant debut here. Did anyone hear some Polyphia and say, 'I want that but heavier'? Well this album sounds like the answer you're looking for. Good and bluesy at times, and then it shifts right into proggy layered stuff, sometimes very ethereal, and then time to tap your foot again.   Sep 16, 2022

All instrumental and played so well. With the first track, I feel they're just making something similar to Tool, and I don't hear the passion in it. For the rest of the album, I think their hearts are in it and it sounds truly beautiful. Dr. Moth stood out for me as an awesome track, but the whole thing is very impressive.   Sep 16, 2022

Thrash metal still has some great stuff coming out in 2022. Full of punky confrontation and confidence you can feel. Definitely these 4 guys were in a zone when they recorded this album. It's time for Arsena to get some attention.   Sep 16, 2022

Wow. This album is exactly what's great about black metal. It's so D.I.Y. and lo-fi, and it's just a one-man-band, but the enjoyment you can get from these songs is so high quality. Field recordings get an A+. The last song is my favorite. Also, good luck to this musician as he builds his fictional world through music.   Sep 16, 2022

I really like this one. It maintains an album sound and unifying emotions of pain and despair, but the drumming balances it out with accents and licks. It doesn't get busy or complicated though; so you remain in a stripped-down black metal environment.   Sep 16, 2022

This group deserves credit for being unique. They sound as weird as the album cover. It's mostly symphonic gothic metal with little bits of industrial influence and some old school heavy metal. The black metal is only in the brutal vocals, not in the instrumentation at all. Anyway, very dramatic and plain fun.   Sep 16, 2022

Good black metal with nice sparing symphonic elements. Nothing bad on this album. Maybe the vocalist could have more melancholy and vocal range, but he's very brutal, so maybe it's what you're looking for.   Sep 16, 2022

!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great synergy from an amazing singer and a band who knows exactly how to play what sounds great in combination with his vocals.   Sep 16, 2022

Some good songs, but too many slow songs. Also, the awesome heavy riffing doesn't match too well with the very record-label songwriting. I like Dreamer though, and Can You Hear Them? surprised me with it's energy.   Sep 16, 2022

Wow. I never would've guessed this early album would remind me so much of Pantera. I wonder if this was an influence on Static-X... Anyway, it's good heavy adrenaline-filled music even though their signature style is not fully there yet.   Sep 16, 2022

The fury is turned to 11. Kinda like Drudkh mixed with Dissection. There's enough variety in composition but it has a great album feel. Really awesome.   Sep 15, 2022

This album sounds the way she smells. I feel like these guys can go up a level with their virtuosity, definitely so with singing. The songwriting is solid and their stylistic sense is great. I look forward to more in the future.   Sep 15, 2022

Not exactly the sound I thought it was going to be. This has a fun mix of blackened death metal, heavy metal, and sometimes suddenly progressive metal or alternative rock. I feel it's mostly death metal. It's full of frantic energy. Kinda too brutal for my preference, but it definitely sounds well played.   Sep 14, 2022

Trippy in the best possible way. Musicianship sounds pretty high level to me. There should be more instrumental bands. That's what I think when I listen to Lambda.   Sep 14, 2022

Very classic & evil sound played well and recorded kinda hi-fi with just enough lo-fi fuzz to make it feel dangerous.   Sep 14, 2022

I love this first album by this new band. The sound is as thick as possible. The vocalists harsh vocals are better than his clean ones, but the clean ones are pretty unique, which helps make their sound interesting. After listening to this release, I instantly tried to find more albums by them. I hope they'll release more soon.   Sep 14, 2022

Lustre tried some higher tech recording facilities and used them masterfully. The last track is the strongest for me, and the whole album was a great buildup to the field recordings at the end that put a wide smile on my face.   Sep 14, 2022

Folk and maybe pagan vibes on this. Also, those vibes are very good and can help your mood. I don't find any part astounding, but it's a nice long album that doesn't slow or weaken anywhere.   Sep 14, 2022

Nice atmospheres throughout, and grows more powerful as it works towards it's conclusion. Good stuff from one of the members of Luna Pythonissam.   Sep 13, 2022

Oh you 1990s and your freezing suffering, we all loved you so much. The rhythms on this album really got stuck in my head.   Sep 13, 2022

Nice mix of tech death, deathcore, prog, and even a little djent. I heard some negative opinions of recent Fallujah, but I'm glad I chose to try this album.   Sep 13, 2022

Doom like no one else can do. This album burns even hotter than the album cover. Everybody sounds great, and Wilk's drumming works perfectly with the masters. There's a version with bonus tracks, but those tracks aren't quite as astounding as the rest. Anyway, this one joins Sabbath's best albums from the 70s.   Sep 13, 2022

I used to play this album on repeat shuffle so often for years, and the more times I heard it the more I appreciated it. The first half of the album is better than most music out there, and the starting with the title track it gets even 3 or 4 times better. For me, this album is legendary.   Sep 13, 2022

Thick and sick. I kinda feel like I'm hearing Cult of Luna play a Meshuggah song, yes because there are some somewhat djenty parts. It's hypnotizing while angrily plodding through the sludge of a quagmire. There's also a kind of peacefulness to it. Very good album by a great band.   Sep 12, 2022

Powerful album here. It takes time for the emotion of these songs to really hit me, but since they're all 4 or 5 minutes it doesn't take much time. It's a lot packed into a short song. Good blending of atmospheric, depressive, and it even has classic 2nd wave. The high yelping of despair is surely not for everyone. It's not the vocals I'm looking for, but it fits the songs perfectly so I can enjoy it.   Sep 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
