"Outsider" is the 23rd studio album by Uriah Heep (I don't count the album "Celebration - Forty Years of Rock", which contains mainly modified versions of old hits), released by Frontiers Records. It was produced by Mike Paxman and it is the first album with bassist Dave Rimmer. Guitarist Mick Box is the last remaining member of the original line-up and the songs here are though harder-edged than in the band’s heyday, but have that familiar dynamic guitar/organ interplay.   Feb 16, 2023

"Fallen Angel" is Uriah Heep's 12th studio album released by Bronze Records in the UK and Chrysalis Records in USA. On this album, the band moved toward an AOR sound, as opposed to the Progressive Rock of previous albums. It is the last album to feature John Lawton on vocals, before his firing in 1979.   Feb 16, 2023

After releasing 2 demo recordings in the early 1980s, "A Time of Changes" was Blitzkrieg's first full-length studio album and what a solid NWOBHM it was. If this album was put together back in 1981 as it was to be, this could have been one of the most memorable NWOBHM album of all time. Unfortunately, the band broke up shortly before releasing their debut and Ross had to wait 3 years to put everything back together. Also for this reason they never captured higher popularity.   Feb 12, 2023

When we start speaking of early NWOBHM, Raven is a group we should mention. Yes, they didn't achieve fame like Iron Maiden and were more Hard Rock oriented besides Heavy Metal, but their early 80's albums were good. If the NWOBHM is your favorite musical style, you should immediately get this album.   Feb 12, 2023

"Death and Progress" is Diamond Head's comeback album after a long ten-year hiatus. The music combines Hard Rock with Heavy Metal, and the album needs to be listened to at least five times in order to appreciate the quality of the songs and ideas.   Feb 12, 2023

Diamond Head released "Borrowed Time" album with a more refined sound, better production and songs more in the 80's metal, than the dynamic NWOBHM of the first album. We have here five new songs and two re-recorded, that were originally on "Lightning to the Nations" album. The songs are very mellodic, still catchy and energetic.   Feb 12, 2023

"Lightning to the Nations" is easily one of the best albums of the NWOBHM. All seven songs here are equally awesome and every song has an identity. These really are some awesome catchy kick ass songs with great melodies and riffs, whereas there is never a dull moment. The music on this album sometimes reminiscent Hard Rock bands with some blues parts, but it also managed to keep up with the changing sound of Heavy Metal genre.   Feb 12, 2023

"Something Wicked This Way Comes" is Ten's sixteenth album. Album contains pleasant and easy to listen Melodic Hard Rock   Feb 12, 2023

Candlemass are back with their 13th regular studio album "Sweet Evil Sun" which offeres traditional Epic Doom Metal. The guitars are heavy, dark and the rhythms solid as ever. Songs are catchier and simpler structured and the musicianship is competent with some hammering riffs and much aggression in it.   Feb 11, 2023

Misanthrope's music has been out of my reach for many years and only today I listened to their new album "Les declinistes". Musically, it's pretty decent Progressive Death Metal, but I don't understand the lyrics at all because they're in the band's native language, which is French.   Feb 11, 2023

"Permanent Vacation" becoming a major hit and the band's bestselling album in over a decade (selling 5 million copies in the US) and was their first album to employ songwriters outside the band, instead of featuring songs solely composed by them. It is the ninth studio album and was released by Geffen Records.   Feb 10, 2023

This album is way too low rated and quite underrated. "Just Push Play" is the thirteenth studio and was co-produced by song collaborators Marti Frederiksen and Mark Hudson. The album's first single, "Jaded", became a Top 10 hit in the US and around the world.   Feb 10, 2023

Booklet for "Nine Lives" album contains 12 pictures (including the cover). Each picture contains a smaller version of the previous one within itself. The final picture is included in the first, creating an infinite loop. Is the twelfth studio album and was produced by Aerosmith and Kevin Shirley.   Feb 10, 2023

"Pump" is Aerosmith's tenth studio album & was released by Geffen Records. Album received mostly positive reception, contains many hit singles and was the fourth best-selling album of the year 1990.   Feb 10, 2023

"Get a Grip" is Aerosmith's eleventh studio album and was the band's last studio album released by Geffen before they returned to Columbia Records. Album became Aerosmith's best-selling studio album worldwide, achieving sales of over 20 million copies.   Feb 10, 2023

Rejuvenated Finns have created with "Eternal" something truly special with powerful, dramatic, theatrical and epic elements. Some bands age like a fine wine - maturing and refining their sound with every subsequent release.   Feb 8, 2023

After the split with the main songwriter and great guitarist Timo Tolkki, the band was going through quite hard times including many line-up changes and had to face several problems. Band moved away from its softer and more progressive sounds and created an energizing and truly metal orientated record with gripping riffs, glorious choruses and loads of fresh ideas.   Feb 8, 2023

Stratovarius has taken their sound in a different direction in this album, favoring the more epic style sound over the faster tracks. Most of the album is slower or mid-tempo and more epic, including the powerful title track with a quasi operatic chorus line. It is albums like "Infinite" that remind us that not all Power Metal has to sound the same.   Feb 8, 2023

"Destiny" album really have everything, infectious energy, delicate ballads, great ideas and the skills to pull them off. They combines the traditional Speed/Power Metal elements, the Neo-classical shredding and the Epic Progressive tendencies of the band into a coherent and enjoyable whole.   Feb 8, 2023

On "Hammerheart" album, Quorthon is now more interested in creating and communicating a certain epic and atmospheric feeling, and doesn't attempt to reach supersonic speeds with his guitar. Album shows the Epic side of Viking/Heavy Metal with acoustic parts, female voices, sporadically used keyboards, clean vocals with raspy touch, intelligence and emotional integrity.   Feb 5, 2023

The quality of "Live in Jessheim" is garbage , commonplace in this album is crackling, distortion, and cutting out. Maybe you enjoy hearing poor quality live same songs for the sixth time? Then this album is just for you. This album is fodder for the obsessive Mayhem militant. Clink, clink, money is pouring in...   Feb 5, 2023

If you would want to compare this release with other live ones, this has almost nothing new to offer. The sound is horrendous, there's too much of a mess for much of an atmosphere, and it really just sucks. The endless release of bootlegs with terrible quality is only important in filling the publishers' wallets and not in presenting quality and valuable music. Do you need a fifth album of Dead "singing" the same songs?   Feb 5, 2023

Another awful recording. Most die hard Mayhem fans know this was one of only 5 shows Mayhem managed to play live during this tour (Jessheim, Sarpsborg, Zeitz, Leipzig and Izmir). Maybe next year, when someone finds a moldy recording from another concert in the attic, the band will release another of the endless series of low-quality, but for some, kvlt live recordings.   Feb 5, 2023

Take a lot of scandals, unusual stories and mysterious/dark happenings, mix it all up, throw it in newspapers and magazines, repeat it many times and you turn a mediocre record into a legendary one. "Live In Leipzig" is primarily worshiped due to being the only full-length recording featuring Dead. It is a mediocre album, that has been elevated to "classic" status in some circles, but not due to quality ideas or creativity.   Feb 5, 2023

Very overrated 18 minute failure. A number of better and more important albums were released at that time and even before it. The production is completely awful. "Deathcrush" is praised only for it's extreme nature at an early time, rather then the actual quality of the music.   Feb 5, 2023

"V: The New Mythology Suite" continues the consistent trend for this band, as they have successfully crafted a tremendous Prog. Metal album that is equal in both songwriting and musicianship. Russell Allen is an awesome vocalist, with incredible range, emotion, and a smooth, flawless, melodious vocal tone. Every song on this album is strong, even the occasional instrumental interludes on this album.   Feb 4, 2023

On "The Damnation Game" album, Russel Allen picked up the microphone and proved, that he is a Progressive/Neoclassical Metal force to be reckoned with. His soaring voice helps this album same as Romeo's insane riffs, and Pinnella's keys. You can find here many speed changes, creative solos, impressive drumming, great bass and songs also have that catchy element. It's an excellent album.   Feb 4, 2023

Symphony X's first album seems to be a very underrated album and album not talked about much, whereas all the ingredients are present. Progressive and Neo-classical Metal elements are as present on this release as on any other Symphony X album. One important thing to note is that this is the only Symphony X album without Russell Allen, since vocals are handled by Rod Tyler whose performance is solid, but not as good as that of Russell.   Feb 4, 2023

Music on "Diversum" is slow, melancholic, almost mysterious. Songs are much more epic, comprehensible & dramatic than on the previous albums. The guitar work is much more focused on some classic metal riffs. In all the songs, the emotional and melodic sequence is based not on the riffs changing, but on the change of vocal parts. Although there is only one vocalist we hear three voices: two of them are clean, and the third one is harsh, almost black metal-like.   Feb 3, 2023

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.   2 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
