Black Autumn / Veldes
preview  Veldes / Black Autumn preview  Black Autumn / Veldes (2015)  [Split]
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
Good music from both artists, but both have better songs. I don't know much about Black Autumn yet, but Veldes has some top-tier material on his other releases. On this split, it's all good but I didn't reach ecstasy.   Aug 30, 2022
Losing the Sun
preview  Black Autumn preview  Losing the Sun (2014)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Yes it's ambient black metal & doom, but it also hits you with some electronica. Enjoyable. Good, not great.   Aug 30, 2022
Thy Kingdom Cold
preview  Aldorfrea preview  Thy Kingdom Cold (2022)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Cold, evil, oldschool. What more do you want? You want Simon Smith who teaches you guitar on YouTube to play on this album? Well you get that too. I think it's rather Immortal in style, and the execution and songwriting are through the roof. Singing is rather croaky. Anyway, Immersed in Suffocating Snow is as awesome as the title sounds.   Aug 30, 2022

Yes, very good. About equal to Profane.   Aug 30, 2022
Days of the Lost
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Soundwise it's great. For me, each song starts promising to get super powerful emotionally, but ends quickly without as much emotion as I was hoping for. In the end, it's good but many people gave me higher expectations.   Aug 30, 2022

Into Darkness
preview  Winter preview  Into Darkness (1990)
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
Bogged down and trudging. I respect how they achieved the sound they were going for 100%, but I didn't get really into it. Not bad though.   Aug 30, 2022
Melancholy
preview  Shadow of Intent preview  Melancholy (2019)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
I guess I was expecting a little less quality than their 2022 album, but Melancholy is maybe just the tiniest bit better, more or less equal. I love how this album focuses on the death metal element a lot, but suddenly gets rather progressive. It filled me with energy, and actually gave me a bit of an appetite.   Aug 30, 2022

Dig Deep

Good album, but I feel the last couple of songs aren't at the same high level as the rest of the album. The djent sound is thick and plainly awesome. Glad I gave it a try.   Aug 30, 2022

Numinous
preview  Elysia preview  Numinous (2022)
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
My pick for the day. It's so many sub-genres of metal, but they're blended together perfectly and naturally. The dueling singing adds tons of drama, and the atmospheric guitar work knocks me flat. One Greek and one Swiss musician, and they have the best synergy.   Aug 30, 2022

Der Weg nach Stille
preview  Lilitu's Sarabande preview  Der Weg nach Stille (2022)  [EP]
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Extremely raw music. Haunting & even terrifying. If you know what this kind of insanely lo-fi stuff is like, you can decide if you're in the mood for it. If you're not familiar with raw, be forewarned; you might hate this with a passion or love it with one.   Aug 29, 2022
The Ashes of Light
preview  Lustre preview  The Ashes of Light (2020)
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
It's so cold, and so heavy but while most artists would combine those 2 feelings in a dark and negative way, Lustre makes it uplifting using his unique musical sense.   Aug 29, 2022
Transcendence Into the Peripheral
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
At the very deathy early section of this album I had doubts I was going to like it, but when it shifted into full-on doom all my doubts vanished. I really enjoyed it.   Aug 29, 2022
Omnio
preview  In The Woods preview  Omnio (1997)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Very good instruments, but kind of gets too crowded with vocals. Just the tiniest bits of black metal here. It sounds like progressive gothic metal to me. Anyway, it's cool but not my favorite from them.   Aug 29, 2022
The Endless
preview  Dreadnought preview  The Endless (2022)
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
This album has that special something. It's huge & dramatic, and it has this perfect combination of very soft music and soul-burning heavy music. At some points it's a little folky and jazzy, but mostly progressive metal and rock with black metal and doom blended in. 2 female singers coordinate amazingly, and with clean vocals they even add some libido to the mix, which metal so often is missing.   Aug 28, 2022
Desperate Dreams
preview  Violet Cold preview  Desperate Dreams (2015)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Starting in 2014, Violet Cold quickly made a deep and varied discography. Yet another great example of his style of post-black metal.   Aug 28, 2022
The Wolves Howl to the Moon
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
This one made my morning. Full of anger but also upbeat energy.   Aug 26, 2022
When the Wolves are Hungry
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
This is good, somewhat lo-fi, atmospheric black metal. I'm tempted to give it a high rating due to howling wolves, but I'll resist. The cymbal crashes get really predictable. Still good though.   Aug 26, 2022
Firmament
preview  Midnight Odyssey preview  Firmament (2009)  [Demo]
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
This beautiful recording is a demo? OK fine, but it's great. There's a good amount of ambient on it, but it strikes a good balance with the black metal for me. Don't skip this one when trying Midnight Odyssey's discography.   Aug 26, 2022
Blackbraid I
preview  Blackbraid preview  Blackbraid I (2022)
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
It's finally released! What a powerful and passionate album and maybe the recording work is the best so far for 2022. Stylistically, it's mostly straight black metal, but some songs dip into other types of black metal, including folk, atmospheric, & melancholic. There's definitely no raw on this one, with those perfectly resonating instruments and vocals. Very close to a perfect score for me. Expectations were high, but remember it's just his 1st album, and it's this amazing.   Aug 26, 2022
I
preview  Lighthouse preview  I (2022)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Very heavy album, which might surprise some because it's also post. Some songs are really angry, and others are melancholic. A strong point is how it sticks to a theme. Also, it's very cathartic and has big climaxes.   Aug 24, 2022
Eat Me, Drink Me
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Definitely all good music, though I feel the 2nd half of the album is far superior to the first, because that's where the guitar starts getting bluesier and heavier which makes for some riffs that really get me excited. Also, Heart-Shaped Glasses is a true masterpiece in everything from the melody, lyrics, performance, production, and more. 11 songs at that level would make it a 100.   Aug 24, 2022

Still good albums from the legends of power metal, and that's a very inspiring fact. The whole album is good, but I don't really love any song as much as Skyfall, so it's easy to see why they chose that as a single. Anyway, good feelings for an hour and 20 minutes. Thank you Helloween.   Aug 24, 2022

Seeing how divided our opinions are on this, I guessed I was going to be in the middle. Absolutely not. This is a great album. The djent is pure fire, and I can hear motivation and emotion in every song. Respect to the Meshuggah guys for making this album.   Aug 24, 2022

De doden hebben het goed II

It's harsher and angrier and less atmospheric than De doden hebben het goed #1, so I find using the same title a little strange. Anyway, it's very enjoyable, well played, and passionate.   Aug 24, 2022

There's Always Blood at the End of the Road
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Very good atmospheric. Also, some songs venture into other types of black metal, such as old school and melodic, and those are very good too. With the last track, they end with some of the catchiest black metal you'll ever hear. They have better albums, but this one is nipping at the heels of the others.   Aug 24, 2022

Truly great composition moments are spread throughout this album. For me, the vocal style is a bit of a weak part. It doesn't bother me much though. The title track is pure gold. Also, the sound is delectable.   Aug 24, 2022

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

Handle With Care
level 15 metalnrock   85/100
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

level 10 sierrahotel   80/100
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

Nightfall in Middle-Earth
level 15 metalnrock   95/100
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

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

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
