Cosmicism 90/100
Deep dark atmosphere on this quality debut. Instrumentally, the keyboards really shine in establishing this project's own sound. I find myself wanting some more innovation or virtuosity from the drums. Overall, pretty textbook atmospheric done with real feeling. Sep 5, 2022

Impressive writing on this album. The vocals don't do much for me, but the variation of melodies and nicely strategic pauses make for great composition, and I can just sit back and enjoy the musicianship. Sep 5, 2022

Giving this a try, I can't say it's bad, but the vocals do go on too much and make it hard to take seriously. The positive side is sometimes it's riff bliss. Sep 5, 2022

For me, this one keeps the energy coming more than his 2014 album. Even a little better. Sep 5, 2022

Just gorgeous guitar texture on this album with good djent. Sep 5, 2022

I do like how this massive album goes 7 minutes before any vocals. It's also a narrative I can believe in, with nature superior to humanity. I don't like how long it takes the ambient parts to build up to the harder parts. Still, it's captivating and staggering. Heavily recommended. Sep 4, 2022

This album has a great emotional weight. Clearly a labor of love. Sep 4, 2022
Cosmicism 95/100
Atmospheric black metal and doom are blended so perfectly in the highly emotional compositions on this great album. Sep 3, 2022
Cosmicism 90/100
Tons of melancholy on this one, with alternating between black metal and folk. Sep 3, 2022
Cosmicism 70/100
A lot of the songs on this sound mixed up, too busy, and awkward, and some of them lack passion. It's too bad because I can hear it's the same old pro musicians playing these half-baked songs. Why don't they do a covers album of delta blues, Hendrix, Cream, and other bluesy stuff that they're so great at playing? Sep 3, 2022
Cosmicism 95/100
Just 2 songs here, and they are so powerful it's hard to believe. Deep deep melancholy. Sep 2, 2022
Cosmicism 70/100
It's all right. At least the music is more proficient than the depiction of that purple knight. Sep 2, 2022
Cosmicism 80/100
Instrumentally these guys are very proficient and it sounds like it takes lots of stamina to play these songs. For me the vocals come too frequently and close together and detract from the composition. Maybe that's just me. Anyway, balance the vocals and the great instrumentation and it's still good.

The artist was smart to make the theme of arson with field recordings between songs. It makes this album memorable despite the hundreds of albums of similar style and quality. With the first couple songs, I thought I was going to give it a so-so review, but it gets better. Good first release. Sep 2, 2022
Cosmicism 100/100
I totally fell in love with this album. Even in the same moment it has so much despair and so much hope. It's like soaring through smoke flying all over the continents while being the smoke and being the continents. It's like the sound that all life has been making for 2 billion years. Sep 2, 2022
Cosmicism 90/100
Can I say that this is doomier than doom usually is? It's just so full of doom, it's like a conversation with C3PO. Sep 2, 2022
Cosmicism 95/100
With a lame album cover, these guys released some of their best music here, which took me by surprise. Also surprising was how heavy and angry this album is. It vents with the power of a thousand propellers. No break, just energy all the way through, and Lajon is totally on fire. Nu metal has it's downsides, but Sevendust should get more attention, and then nu metal will seem like a much better style. Sep 2, 2022
Cosmicism 85/100
This feels a lot like death metal, especially with the vocals. The Reading the Bones album was more enjoyable for me, but I can respect him for playing a variety of styles. Sep 1, 2022
Cosmicism 90/100
This album is so successful at achieving the grim, filthy, & gritty sound that these guys specialize in. It's so extreme I can't really listen to this often, but when I do I'm filled with the feeling that it's high quality, and I'm transported to a dark world. Sep 1, 2022
Cosmicism 90/100
Stoner doom done well. Is that an organ I hear? Anyway, cool band with its won style. Sep 1, 2022
Cosmicism 95/100
Super close to a perfect score. This is total worship of 90s black metal, but more atmosphere-centered than those classic 90s albums. Using the past 30-something years as study material, the guy from Spectral Lore delivers to us a deluxe ode to our favorite BM classics. Aug 31, 2022

Black metal sounding evil and it's fun fun fun. A riff paradise. Aug 31, 2022
Cosmicism 95/100
Awesome debut EP from these guys. Full of swagger and cosmic rays. I give it 95, but if they made a full hour of the same I would give it a hundred. Aug 31, 2022

Thank you Merrow, this is atmospheric as Hades, thick and awesome sounding. Great instrumental progressive album. Aug 31, 2022
Cosmicism 90/100
A nice mix of progressive, black metal, and metal core, even if the third one is by habit. It's funny that some news claims it's a full black metal album. Rōnin stands out as the masterpiece of this album for me, with Heafy's singing blazing into my heart and it's cool that Ihsahn helps out. Ibaraki-Dōji comes in second. Overall very good. Aug 31, 2022

Metal Meltdown was very critical of this album, so I was surprised when I enjoyed it as much as I did. It's not for everyone because it's very dark and dirty, and of course bogged down. If that sounds good to you, I recommend it. Aug 31, 2022

Harlequin 90/100
신화 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

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

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

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
