Engineering the Void
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
For this album, I recognize the skill it takes to create this, so all respect to the Soreption guys. I don't really feel the excitement and passion I felt on their Jord album. Still solid tech death.   Jun 18, 2022
Eternity of Shaog
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Full of imagination and captitvating textures. I give this the same score as his 2021 album, but 2021's is just a hair better in my opinion. Eternity of Shaog has a rather doom laden feeling for a lot of parts. Esoctrilihum mixes genres in his own unique way, embracing boundaries and grey zones. Such a special artist.   Jun 18, 2022

This is an awesome calming empowering cloud that wraps around you. Every song is a critique on a genre of music, while also a way to make each genre much weirder. This album is fusion, but in a good unique way, believe me. Every element is super high level except maybe the vocals which are not particularly bad. Highly recommended.   Jun 18, 2022

Very well produced music here. I don't really get into this as much as Dream Theater, for example. I find it a little corny, but I mostly enjoyed it at the same time.   Jun 17, 2022

I recognize this is very good music by a highly skilled band. On this album, there are some parts where I don't really enjoy it because I feel it's too overbearing, but I understand that this is pure enjoyment for a lot of metal fans. Other parts, I enjoy quite a lot. Also, the saxophone is cool even if it's not original for tech death. If it's good it's good.   Jun 17, 2022
Choice I've Never Had
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
More or less post rock for the first half of the album, and the black metal gets more prominent in the 2nd half, and it has a very sad feeling all the way through. The songwriting doesn't feel as fully formed as it does on his 2022 album. Still pretty and worth a listen though.   Jun 17, 2022
The Rite
preview  Maxime Even preview  The Rite (2022)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Quick nimble and very emotional progressive metal. Totally instrumental, a little like Distant Dream and Widek. The cover must be Japan, but the theme is Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" and 60s Film-noir movies. There's a bunch of voice-overs from Vertigo and other classic films. Great sound to the recording, and very good instrumentation.   Jun 17, 2022
Phylum

Bouncy and rumbling, similar to Wide Eyes and here and there similar to Andromida. Very good djent from a very new artist.   Jun 17, 2022
The World That Was
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
2nd album I've given a try by this band... So far their a very consistent bunch. I don't prefer death doom, but they're helping me reconsider that. A couple songs have some classic rock sounding riffage in the midst of death doom. The combination works very well. Also, cool imaginative album cover.   Jun 17, 2022
False Light

The buzz is intense about this album. It's like some people expect it to make the best albums in history sound like junk in comparison. Let's have normal expectations. It's a very good exciting and inventive album. Maybe their last two releases are just a hair better, if not this one is more or less equal. Let's be happy we have such a good post-black metal album this year.   Jun 17, 2022

Crepuscular Dirge for the Blessed Ones
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
I really like the slower thrashy melodies. Overall, I like it even though I don't love death metal. At some points the music gets over-complicated for my taste, but it has good energy throughout. Cosmic Putrefaction's music is not for everyone, but I can't say it's bad. Definitely give it a chance if your main thing is death metal, Maybe try it otherwise.   Jun 16, 2022
Life Is Peachy
preview  Korn preview  Life Is Peachy (1996)
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
What a fun album, but when I say fun, I mean harsh and illicit in all the best ways. I can really feel the guys in a room together creating these songs. A.D.I.D.A.S, in particular, is a song so good it should be a legend. Life Is Peachy is so unorthodox, and it sounds like it's destined to be played while you drive around slowly with your friends and just chill.   Jun 16, 2022

level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
This is very thick and tight technical death metal, and the guitar sound is often kinda djenty. It has a cool vibe to it. It's like they're saying, 'We're not going to pause or hesitate because we don't want to waste your time. Here's how we play. See if you like it.' Well, I like it.   Jun 16, 2022
Destino
preview  Tierra Santa preview  Destino (2022)
level 15 Cosmicism   65/100
I was hoping for some epic power metal with some virtuoso or maybe progressive instrumentation. I didn't get that here. Actually, in the beginning of the album it's barely even metal. By the later songs I feel like I'm listening to Nickelback in Spanish. This might be mom rock to be used in a Spanish soap opera. If you're looking for that, I guess this album does what you want very well. For me it's kinda corny.   Jun 16, 2022
Event Horizon

Fully instrumental from this duo. They call their band progressive metal, but if you're looking for djent, this album sounds like it to my ears. It's super busy and bouncy, with a soothing ether in the background and very positive energy. Nice gratifying album.   Jun 13, 2022
The Return of the Shadow
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
First I heard from this band. It definitely has beauty. I'm not crazy about it, but they're pros at playing and singing. Maybe I prefer unorthodox compositions and freak-outs too much. I have a feeling people who love epic power metal with symphonic instrumentation will like this a lot more than me. If that's you, give it a try.   Jun 13, 2022
Mariner

Put these 2 artists together and we get one of the most special albums in recent times. After listening to it how could you think of this combination as anything but perfect?   Jun 13, 2022
The Masquerade
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Good album that I don't love, but I can tell it's played by pros. The vocals are rather cookie monster, but the instrumentation keeps me from turning it off. The progressive and technical stuff is a strong point, and even more would've been even better.   Jun 12, 2022

level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Overall good. Like always it's all great instrumentation. I often find the music is full of fun, so I do enjoy it. This album doesn't engage me emotionally as much as some others by Epica. Also, the end of the album has too much slow non-metal for my taste. In the end I still enjoy it to some degree.   Jun 11, 2022

I like their kind of death doom. This album flows very well. In a couple of places it reminds me of The Ruins of Beverast. Recommended even for people not so into death metal.   Jun 10, 2022

Overall solid thrash album but in the like-not-love category. The songwriting and recording make the lyrics the main focus, and I find the lyrics not bad but not particularly great.   Jun 10, 2022

In Requiem
preview  Paradise Lost preview  In Requiem (2007)
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
I've heard a few of their albums so far, and this one surprised me in it's beauty, passion, and thoughtful songwriting. By my standards, this is very commercial, but it does that without feeling phony. The vibes and tone remind me a lot of the Load and Reload albums by Metallica plus some gothic highlights. However, I feel this is somewhat better than those 2 Metallica albums. In Requiem is totally one I'll remember.   Jun 9, 2022
L'affrontement de l'intime
level 15 Cosmicism   100/100
From a very new artist, this album is tipping 2022 toward an awesome year in atmospheric, maybe rivaling 2021. It transitions into doom-laden territory here and there, always to great effect. Intentionally dirty enough for black metal, and hi-fi enough to amaze me, this album has the trappings of a well-funded recording by a bunch of pros, yet it's 2 unsigned musicians. This album has a saddened and pained feel, and it's done so well that it's bliss for me.   Jun 9, 2022
Den Menschen So Fern
level 15 Cosmicism   100/100
One of the wonderful surprises for me this year; I never heard of this band, and suddenly this new album becomes a favorite, possibly album of the year. I feel influence from Drudkh here, so I guess they're smart about their influences. This album is beautiful and hypnotizing, at some points achieving maximum atmosphere with only their guitars and drums. Definitely a band we should all know now.   Jun 9, 2022

The really traditional black metal parts are great, the unorthodox jumps to bouncy happy pagan and spacey synthy stuff is great too. All their other albums are great too, but I keep gravitating back to this one because it makes me so happy.   Jun 9, 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

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

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

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
