A continuation of the band's Death/Doom path and a strong contender for their best record of all time.   Dec 29, 2023

The most significant Candlemass record from the band's later period. And also the best from the Robert Lowe-era.   Aug 19, 2023

"Leprosy"-style Old School Death Metal played by the numbers.   Aug 19, 2023

Old School brutality that does not age. Among my personal all-time top 5 by them.   Aug 19, 2023

A timeless classic and arguably the best record from their early period.   Aug 19, 2023

A really solid record. Among their all-time top 5, imo.   Aug 19, 2023

One of their finest releases. True Old School Death Metal.   Aug 19, 2023

Strong one indeed. Makes up for the weak spots of the band during the 2000s.   Aug 19, 2023

One of their iconic records. Comes really close to Annihilation of the Wicked and Black Seeds of Vengeance - their top releases, imo.   Aug 19, 2023

Power Metal that clearly stands out compared to the many mediocre releases that have flooded the genre over the past two decades.   Aug 18, 2023

Another OSDM jewel from the Scandinavian scene.   Aug 18, 2023

Fine Old School Death Metal!   Aug 18, 2023

A notch better than "Immortal Wars", but lags behind "Caligvla".   Aug 13, 2023

Brutal, relentless carnage - the Old School way!   Aug 13, 2023

Dark, intense, yet epic! The best Krux release so far.   Aug 13, 2023

Arguably the best later-era Vader record.   Aug 12, 2023

A rather humble start, but still, deserves attention.   Aug 12, 2023

Another exceptionally strong record by this band. This here is top-level Epic Power Metal! Highly recommended.   Aug 12, 2023

A nearly flawless Epic Power Metal! Magnificent debut release.   Aug 12, 2023

I would not place this one among the band's finest, but still, it's a decent record.   Aug 10, 2023

Mysterious, intense, yet epic. Their best release so far.   Aug 9, 2023

An exceptional debut by a very promising new Epic Doom Metal band, hailing from Greece. They incorporate some Progressive and Power Metal elements in their sound.   Aug 6, 2023

An impressive effort.   Aug 6, 2023

It has its strong moments, but lags behind some of the band's earlier releases. To name a few: Cosmovision and The Dominion Gate.   Aug 6, 2023

Bolt Thrower legacy continues! Awesome debut.   Aug 6, 2023

Strong OSDM. Their finest so far, imo.   Aug 6, 2023

The definition of Symphonic Death Metal. Their best record since "Sumerian Daemons".   Jul 31, 2023

Their best record from their later period.   Jul 31, 2023

It has several killer tracks, but also a few weak spots. Definitely not on par with the band's debut full-length, which is exceptional.   Jul 30, 2023

언제 들어도 좋은 심포닉 파워 메탈계의 명반   Mar 13, 2025

게임 매드무비에 넣을 곡이 더 생겼다 밴드 연주 작살난다 보컬리스트가 러셀 엘런같이 노래 개 잘한다 빠른 멜로디인데도 노래를 단단하고 웅장하게 잘 부른다. 있어야 할게 다 있는 파워 메탈의 정석   Mar 15, 2025

아무래도 이 1집에서는 많은 이들이 Sweet Child o' Mine을 꼽겠지만, 내게 있어서 이 앨범 최고의 곡은 절대적으로 Nightrain이다. 밴드의 정체성, 색깔, 연주력 등을 한 번에 대변해주는 곡이랄까. 심지어 가사까지 말이다. 같이 늙어간다는 말이 어울리겠지만, 그때의 열정 속에서 Nightrain을 외치고 연주를 하던 그들의 모습은 정말로 젊음의 영웅이자 양아치였다.   Mar 19, 2025

다시 살아난 폼은 떨어질 줄 모르고, 진짜 좋은데.. 정말 좋은데.. 짙게 드리운 어둠이라기에는 너무 명징하다. 컨셉에 맞는 분위기와 강약 조절을 좀만 더 했다면 명반 반열로 올라가는건데, 듣기 좋아서 더욱 그 한끝이 아쉽다.   3 days ago

Great classic album with incredible songs like "The Evil That Men do","Moonchild" or "The Clairvoyant".   Mar 4, 2025

라브리에 해고해라   Mar 6, 2025

점차 공격성이 사라지고 서정성만을 추구하는 멜데스가 많아질수록 이 앨범은 빛을 발한다   Mar 9, 2025

잉베이의 열정적인 기타와 마크 볼즈의 절정의 보컬을 마음껏 만끽할 수 있어 이 앨범을 듣는것이 무척 즐겁다. 잉베이는 스스로의 실력도 대단하지만, 보컬 복이 참 많은 뮤지션인 것 같다.   Mar 10, 2025

I'm pretty sure this is the best debut in history. Sonata Arctica immediately does what they do best and the result is amazing. "FullMoon" is a great song.   Mar 11, 2025

Great album but not at the level of the debut in my opinion. The band tries a bit of progressive direction with pretty good results, although some songs are quite weak. The end of the album is great. Good job Sonata!   Mar 11, 2025

DT caught my attention with their previous album and this one confirms my thoughts on them. I´m not so fond of their old stuffs but these 2 keep me on my feet and I will go back to them regularly.   Mar 12, 2025

Awesome album one of my favourite thrash albums.   3 days ago

Very good album by Dream Theater. As always   Mar 4, 2025

Very good album by Heavenly   Mar 4, 2025

뉴메틀이라고 우습게 봤다가는 뒤져요..   Mar 6, 2025

평점을 안달았다니 이런. 데스메탈갓의 데스메탈, 앞으로도 추앙받을 진정한 마스터피스.   Mar 8, 2025

The "Ram It Down" is a very underrated album, but in 1988 in the german Metal Hammer looked like a new classic by the soundcheck.Otherwise the "Ram it Down" and the "Hard As Iron"(with thundering riff) are great fast classic Priest songs. All in all i think only the "Love Zone" is the only one problematic song and the Lp is great..   Mar 8, 2025

귀에 팍팍 꼿히는 순도 99,9%의 헤비메탈 깔끔한 믹싱 때문에 더 좋게 들린다.역시 앤디스냅!   Mar 8, 2025

현재 보유중인 유일한 브투털 데스 음반이다. 정확히는 그루브 브루털 데스 광폭하면서도 리듬감이 살아있어서 그나마 귀에 들어온다.   Mar 8, 2025
