Funeral Sorcery

level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
Really love this. The tolling of the church bells brings so much cultural baggage and conflict that it makes the gorgeous arrangements even more powerful. The evil sound is strong with this one, in a pretty raw kind of way.   Jul 12, 2022

Super atmospheric album that is really solid with the kind of songwriting that tactically induces emotional responses. Some spoken word toward the end felt so fitting.   Jul 12, 2022

The songs toward the beginning felt so-so for me, but I started finding a lot more to enjoy really quickly with the rest of the album. I heard Spanish guitar, Latino music, progressive metal, and influences from BtBaM and Primus.The classic heavy metal solos were a real highpoint.   Jul 12, 2022

I tried to like this, but I just couldn't. I started to feel like my stereo was insulting death metal by playing this stuff. One kinda midtempo riff in the middle was all right I think. The rest was bad.   Jul 12, 2022

Nice melancholic. So many Polish vocalists have this kind of voice. If you know that sound then you have an idea of what this album will sound like. Good and kinda lo-fi.   Jul 11, 2022

The album cover and title got my hopes up for something really awesome. For a bunch of minutes I wasn't getting what I hoped for, but before the middle of the album I had a huge smile on my face. Also, that's one fantastic guest appearance.   Jul 11, 2022

Solid album. I loved the atmospheric black metal as I expected too. I also loved all the soft and acoustic parts, which is where black metal albums usually weaken because they're out of their area of expertise. Respect to Grîmmöld for doing both well.   Jul 11, 2022

The Ashen Abhorrence
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
Right from the first seconds they throw in your face more grandness and tragic drama than most albums do in an hour. This is heavy and full of pain, but it's also that evil spooky black metal. So it's many things at once, and it's from a rather new band that was totally in the zone while recording this (you can tell). Don't pass this one up.   Jul 10, 2022

The singles, Over the Falls and Shake Hands with Beef, are pure genius. I think the guys knew what their best songs on this one were. Except that I like Camelback Cinema the best. The Chastising of Renegade has some great moments too. No tracks that I skip, but only 4 or so are truly great.   Jul 10, 2022

I think Hexagram needs recognition for being a really unorthodox song while also being really powerful. Minerva is one of my favorites from these guys. Overall, not their best album and not as focused as usual.   Jul 10, 2022

You won't be surprised at how dark this album feels after seeing the cover art. Get totally lost in the fog and feel the unknown dramas that play out, hidden from the world. Now I'm not surprised if anyone who collaborates with Déhà turns out to be a one-woman band of this awesomeness.   Jul 10, 2022

You might be breathing heavily after this album ends. It's busy, fast, and totally weird, and the 26-minute running time suits this kind of music very well. Thanks to Questy for recommending this one. We were all in danger of letting it slip by unnoticed.   Jul 10, 2022

Dueling unclean vocals are great. Suddenly it gets baroque classical. Normally I wouldn't listen to this kind of death metal or anything so cookie monster, but this album is special. Enjoyed from the first second to the last.   Jul 10, 2022

Fantastic debut. Though it has some acoustic and clean moments, it doesn't depend on them for it's folkiness. Even when it's full metal with distortion and shrieking it still has that folk element in the composition. Well composed throughout and it ends in a way that helps me appreciate the whole album.   Jul 10, 2022

What this album does with grindcore transforms it into a listenable genre. My brain did feel scrambled by the end, but that comes with the territory, right? Anyway, I appreciated them breaking into other genres by surprise here and there. Also, top-tier album cover.   Jul 10, 2022

Overall great album with some top-tier gratifying riffs. A little corny here and there. Also, with this genre, I think the recording should've brought to the foreground more the details in the guitar textures. Just my opinion.   Jul 8, 2022

Very high production values with some good guitar parts. It really has a ton of singing. It's not so different than all the super commercial J-pop for TV shows etc, and they made it a little metal. A good point is it goes through many genres. Not my thing, but pretty cool.   Jul 8, 2022

Stylistically there's still some influence here from depressive black metal in song structure, but it's mostly post with a little death metal here and there. They have better albums, but this one is good too. It's also cool they wrote it in Mayan.   Jul 7, 2022

Such a thick atmosphere. I get the most industrial feel from this one out of the trilogy. Also, it's wonderful to listen to Blut Aus Nord and then listen to Borgne and hear how they both add in industrial to their black metal, but the end products are 2 totally distinct beasts.   Jul 7, 2022

I love how this album goes everywhere. At one point I think it's even hip hop, but we metalheads need to admit we're not the best judges of what's hip hop and what's not. Anyway, it's a fantastic album for visions and putting yourself in a trance.   Jul 7, 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

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

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
