New Obituary's album "Dying of Everything" is decent Old school Death Metal with great riffs, interesting songwriting and their easily recognizable own sound that s not overproduced. They focused more onto some mid-tempo tracks, however, they occasionally perform songs in a fast and energetic tempo that testifies them best.   Feb 3, 2023

New album has many excellent ideas and quality songs, but also one shortcoming. There are rich symphonic elements, soaring melodies, amazing musical performances, massive choir singing over a symphonic basis, joyful and epic music. Also Conti's vocal range is unbelievable and he still sings with power and chiming clarity all the high octave notes. However, I would accept more hard and riffing guitars.   Feb 2, 2023

"The Answer Machine?" is one of Skyclad's best work with many great melodies, wonderful lyrics and lots of catchiness. This is where the band found a balanced sound in which the folk and the metal were both symmetrically represented, featuring the some melancholy mood. So if you like melodic, catchy, Folk Rock/Metal then this one is for you!   Feb 1, 2023

First of all, the album "Folkemon" has a very good and nice cover. Well, at least I like it a lot. Another advantage of the album is, of course, high-quality and interesting music. "Folkemon" plays right down the middle of Skyclad's various styles and lets interesting fiddle ideas take over key themes, rather than depending so heavily on the rhythm guitar.   Feb 1, 2023

"The Silent Whales of Lunar Sea" is Skyclad's fifth album in five years and final album for Noise Records. The overall pace of the album is pretty fast and lively, leaning towards rock in some places. New fiddle player George Biddle is an interesting choice. Her style is simpler, more rhythmic and less inclined to sweet, extended solos. Apart from the music, though these songs also show, that Martin Walkyier is one of the best lyricists out there.   Jan 31, 2023

Skyclad’s debut "The Wayward Sons of Mother Earth" is an exceptional late Thrash Metal record with great ideas in every respect. Is the heaviest Skyclad album, the riffs most of the time sound thrashy, while at other times they are very melodic. The first song that really shows the folkmetal mixture we would get used to from future albums is ‘The Widdershins Jig’ which is catchy, use violins and is very folk-ish like.   Jan 31, 2023

"A Burnt Offering for the Bone Idol" retains much of the Thrash Metal style of the previous album, but the fiddle is better incorporated into the music. Skyclad managed to blend folk with metal in an intelligent and reasonably complex manner and in Martin Walkyier, they had one of the best lyricist in metal, which resulted in a unique combination and excellent quality albums.   Jan 30, 2023

New album "Sky Void of Stars" consist of 10 songs & one bonus-track, that are all wroted by vocalist and founding member Jonas Renkse. Music on the album combines several musical styles, namely Gothic/Alternative/Prog. Post-Rock/Metal and sometimes walk on a thin line between effective mellowness and mild torpor with its austere atmosphere, sinister melodies and urgent pacing.   Jan 30, 2023

Slave was released in 1997 and again used a heavier musical style. Compared to the previous album, it moves purely in the Gothic Metal style and the Heavy Metal elements have completely disappeared.   Jan 29, 2023

Secret Discovery was Gothic/Heavy Metal band, founded in 1989 in Bochum, Germany. They started more in the rock genre and over time hardened and released quality, albeit lesser-known albums in the metal style. In 1995, they signed with Gun Records and record their breaking point album Questions of Time, which was released in 1996 and is the hardest in their discography.   Jan 29, 2023

Hammerfall is one of the earliest examples, of what we could call the 2nd tier of the Heavy/Power Metal rebirth of the late 90s. With their very first attempt, these boys from Sweden managed to do what others have been trying in a whole career. They made an album that spits fire from its nostrils and travels you to mythical time dimensions. The storming rhythms, wonderful vocals, epic choruses and melodic parts are a guarantee for genuine, traditional metal.   Jan 29, 2023

This is a great debut from the most influential and aggressive German Thrash Metal masters Kreator. For the most part, this is very fast Thrash Metal with Death overtones - especially in the riff work and vocals. Every song on here is fast, angry, and most of all evil. This is where later thrash, death and black metal groups took inspiration to set up their music.   Jan 29, 2023

"Endorama" is one of Kreator's best albums ever. It's a big change from the band's classic albums, but if the music is of good quality, has strong ideas and I like it, I don't mind changes in style at all, because I always keep an open mind when it comes to music. Great album.   Jan 29, 2023

"Renewal" is, from my point of view, the weakest album of the Kreator group, but it still contains a lot of quality ideas and good music. The sound could definitely be better quality, livelier and ass-kicking. Also, Mille's singing is the least interesting in the entire history of the band.   Jan 29, 2023

Even worse album than the previous one. Where did the good old Metallica go? It contains only three quite capable songs and nothing more.   Jan 29, 2023

The album "Load" contained only three quality songs, the other two were average, and the rest were nothing but cotton filling and below average.   Jan 29, 2023

The worst album from Metallica and the Metal / Rock scene in general. I can't understand why the guys recorded it and especially released it. They did a lot of damage to their name and brand.   Jan 29, 2023

Oh, this really stinks. Huge piece of shit. The album can only envy the quality of old albums.   Jan 29, 2023

This album is so underrated!!! Yes, there is a change in the direction and style of the band, but the music on the album is high quality, interesting and really hard. The sound is heavy tonnage, the band has slowed down, but the riffs are still excellent and Mille's singing is one of the best he has performed in his career.   Jan 29, 2023

"Jugulator" is Priest's heaviest and most underrated album and it is also pretty heavy album at the time of issue. This record sounds pretty modern and open-minded. Album combines traditional Heavy/Power Metal and Groove Metal. Tim "Ripper" Owens was not a Halford copy, but he was a fine lead singer in his own right. His vocal is phenomenal and he show masterful performance.   Jan 25, 2023

"Come in From the Rain" is the best album by Andi Deris besides the home band Helloween. Album is less metal oriented compared to what Helloween are known for, however, it contains a lot of excellent choruses, high-quality melodic ideas and draws mostly from Rock's style. He combines traditional styles with some more modern and alternative flavorings.   Jan 25, 2023

Swedish Melodic Death Metal band Gardenian consisted of an enormously talented group of guys. Album "Soulburner" never gotten the attention it deserved and it is truly a pity, because it still sounds fresh even in these days. And with the next album, they raised the quality bar even higher.   Jan 25, 2023

It's one of their better albums, but compared to high-quality metal bands, they lag significantly behind in quality. At the same time, the music is mostly outside my musical taste.   Jan 25, 2023

"The Human Equation" has really great story where a man crashes into a tree and goes into coma. Each track represents one day (in total 20 days). While in coma he goes in a journey inside of him in which he comunicates or fights with his feelings and explores his inner-self. Every song on this album is great. There's a stunning amount of instrumental variety to go along with the excellent cast of characters. Album has eleven vocalists, and all are simply superb.   Jan 23, 2023

"The Theory of Everything" showcases some new elements in Ayreon music, which have been hinted at yet never fully fleshed out. Album contains 42 tracks which in all reality make up four fluid songs that flow into each other. Music is much less holding for genre rules, mainly because short segments in which the album is divided quickly change styles, melodies and rhythms. The guest vocalists and musicians are in top form, as usual.   Jan 22, 2023

Ayreon's first album "The Final Experiment" is great & unique musical experience. Music takes its main influences in the epic Progressive music of the 70s that can include electronic or folk sounds, intricate guitar melodies and amazing vocals. Album covers a big spectre from acoustic guitars to flutes, from epic female choirs to heavier growls and sounds to me very authentic and interesting.   Jan 22, 2023

Anneke van Giersbergen gathered in Vuur project musicians from various known or less known bands to tap into her Progressive Metal side & the result is an introspective look at traveling and metropolitan life. It’s very good Prog. album with some really cool grooves and melodic ideas, but it still stays easy and comfortable with a powerful chorus in every song and a strong melodic side.   Jan 21, 2023

new album "Beautiful Distortion" combines elements of Atmospheric/Electronic Rock and Alternative Rock. Album was produced by Attie Bauw, who was also responsible for "How to Measure a Planet?" and "Home" albums.   Jan 21, 2023

This is another masterpiece by great Dutch genius Arjen Anthony Lucassen, who simply refuses to disappoint his fan base. This double-album delivers everything Ayreon fans had been hoping for. "The Source" is full of great vocalists, almost all of whom have previously worked with Arjen on at least one occasion. It features Ayreon’s usual blend of Prog. Rock/Metal, folk and electronics, with more guitar riffs than usual.   Jan 20, 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
