Is furious frantic old school black metal what you're looking for? This one is a very energetic example of that.   Jul 27, 2022

I find it more impressive than enjoyable. Depending on the track, I like or dislike the singing. Also, I can't shake the feeling that I'm watching an intro to some anime. Maybe I should recommend this one just for fans of Japanese metal.   Jul 27, 2022

Complete djent paradise forms around you when you play this album. There are so many top-tier songs on this one, but Monomyth is the absolute greatest, and definitely one of the best songs of 2022.   Jul 26, 2022

Good dependable black metal. There's nothing bad here; I just didn't fall in love with any part in particular. The only negative thing I can say is that it didn't live up to its extremely inspiring album cover.   Jul 26, 2022

I loved every second of this awesome album. Crypta sounds more influenced by Death than by death metal, which is great in my book because it helps set their high standards for music with tons of feeling and technicality. Also, this album has some influences that are outside of death metal, such as some blackened parts. Crypta is more focused on great music than they are on obeying the genre. Another great choice by them.   Jul 26, 2022

Mostly softer than I expected. Some parts get a little doom-laden, but mostly it's bluesy rock. The songs are good though. Their rendition of House of the Rising Sun is good too, but I wish they would skip it. I just don't need more and more covers of that song.   Jul 26, 2022

I'm very close to giving this a perfect score, but just a tiny bit less. This is very atmospheric and industrial black metal. Thankfully it runs for more than 1 hour. It really made my morning so nice and dark.   Jul 26, 2022

High quality songs from start to finish. Wake manages to have its own signature style while also fully achieving the awesome yet grim blackened death metal sound. Great album for transporting you deep into your thoughts. Recommended for all metal fans.   Jul 26, 2022

Creepy and weird in the beginning. Later there's a lot of jazz and film score sounding stuff. These different genres don't work together so well on this album. Also, the jazzy stuff doesn't do it for me. Worth a listen for the metal parts.   Jul 23, 2022

Very nice variety, alternating and blending aggression with mournfulness. Some faster parts are downright fun. A Cruel Taste of Winter totally blew me away.   Jul 23, 2022

Very atmospheric. It's Zemou Zabudnutia from 2007 with more instruments added in. I don't know about the 2007 version, but the 2022 one is pleasing and extremely listenable. Now I want to check out Igric's other projects.   Jul 23, 2022

A huge blast for me to listen to, full of energy and playfulness. Pleasantly surprised I enjoyed it as much as Unquestionable Presence.   Jul 22, 2022

The beautiful music lulled me into a sleepy state and then shook me awake with frightening metal. For me this is one of the best examples of why modern doom is so great.   Jul 22, 2022

Well-played album with good atmosphere and melancholy in some of the melodies. A little folky here and there. The album cover can cool down a hot summer day.   Jul 21, 2022

Fun, fun. & fun. It made me one happy dude. Police Cruiser is the most memorable; please guess why if you haven't listened yet. Surgeon General's warning: not guessing correctly will end with you slapping your forehead when the song starts. You've been warned.   Jul 21, 2022

I thought I'd chosen an Exocrine album. It was surprising the style was pretty different. The level of quality was what I was expecting. This has a very crunchy guitar sound and everything else is good too. For tech death, I didn't expect it to have so much atmosphere, but it did. A very good completely consistent in quality. Thank you Xenobiotic for bumping into me.   Jul 21, 2022

Good blackened death metal. It's like De Mysteriis Dom Deathanas, but maybe you figured that out from the cover artwork. Anyway, solid sinister music on this one.   Jul 21, 2022

This is the album that impressed me today. From the first seconds I heard death metal, then I heard black metal, then I was happy. After that it was time to recognize how skilled they all are. Great album. Worth the buzz it had back in June.   Jul 21, 2022

A mix of very good songs and top-tier songs. The second disc is not as impressive for me, but the 3rd disc just floored me and the time flew by so fast. When Swallow the Sun goes into heavy doom mode, they bring the ruckus for real.   Jul 21, 2022

Good and soothing with very positive vibes. Less metal than Groping in a Misty Spread; just keep that in mind. Every song is really quality, but the title track is more of just a little interesting thing at the end. All in all, easy to recommend.   Jul 21, 2022

These guys have been around a while, and it shows in the musicianship. For melodic, I wish the songwriting was richer with melody instead of speed and aggression. I'm not so crazy about the singing. The solos are really great though. Overall, enjoyable but I didn't totally love it.   Jul 21, 2022

So you're the owner of a cafe where the customers get to sacrifice a goat and summon a demon for someone to chat with over coffee? You needed something to play on the cafe's stereo? Well, you're in luck. Here's a pleasant album that delights in evil ritualistic sounds. It has some symphonic elements in some places, and icy dramatic guitarwork. It won't disappoint.   Jul 20, 2022

Of their full-lengths, everything is good including this one. I guess Marras is their masterpiece, but I hope they aim to surpass it next time. This one is totally evil, and pretty lo-fi, even brutal at some parts. Great riffage too. More please.   Jul 20, 2022

There's some cool djent on this album. I don't think the different elements come together in a very good way, so the compositions don't work for me as well as they do when I listen to a band like TesseracT. Maybe it's more of a matter of preference, but I can't enjoy it as much as some of you guys do.   Jul 20, 2022

For this one, he gives us more of a straight black metal sound. Full of good evil feelings. Overall, almost as good as his 2021 album.   Jul 20, 2022

Nice slow & medium-paced songs. I like the whole album but don't love it. The vocals are mostly doomy.   Jul 19, 2022

For me, this album was all about the grooves. Overall good but not their best.   Jul 19, 2022

I was surprised at how good it was. Some really nice guitar solos on this one. Also, this album showed me how metalcore breakdowns are kinda similar to fast djent guitarwork, because here you can hear the different gradients between those 2 techinques. Definitely a great album.   Jul 19, 2022

This album blew my mind and had me squirming in my seat. Toward the end of the album, the songs start be a little less amazing, but still great by the standards of most bands.   Jul 19, 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
