Scanner’s second return to the scene has been concluded in a fabulous way the band eventually succeeded in reaching the high standards from the-80’s, while the music reflected the Power/Speed Metal style of the time. At the same time, Progressive and Heavy Metal elements are audible in the "Ball of the Damned" album.   Nov 21, 2022

The Adrenalize album had the difficult task of continuing and carrying the band's brand high after the release of the mega-successful previous album. It is the first album by the band, recorded without guitarist Steve Clark who died in 1991. Instead of replacing Steve Clark with a new member, the band recorded the album as a four piece. His death definitely affected the band during the creation and recording of the album.   Nov 21, 2022

Album contains many of the band's timeless hits, which they still play at concerts. Pyromania is the first album to feature guitarist Phil Collen who replaced founding member Pete Willis and is band third studio album. Album was partially recorded with Willis, whose rhythm guitar tracks appear on all songs. Toward the end of the recording, Willis was fired for alcohol abuse and replaced by Collen, who contributed solos and guitar parts not yet recorded by Willis.   Nov 21, 2022

On Through the Night was released on 14 March 1980 and was produced by Tom Allom (Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Strawbs, ect.). Album is more straightforward, lacking the later imagination, lightness and ability to write powerful rock hits. Album features re-recorded tracks from the band's original independently released EP and re-recorded versions of early demos.   Nov 21, 2022

High 'n' Dry is the second studio album by Def Leppard and was last full-time album for guitarist Pete Willis. Album continues in the vein of the anthemic melodic Hard Rock of their debut. Band is clearly more confident outfit here and it can be said, that they has find their sound.   Nov 21, 2022

Diamond Star Halos is the twelfth studio album by the English Rock legend Def Leppard & was released nearly seven years since 2015's Def Leppard. New album is full of simple and punchy songs with great melodies, which will remind you of the band's best times, that became one of the biggest bands in the world in the mid eighties.   Nov 21, 2022

Jonah's Ark is simply very consistent album and I never skip a single song when playing the album. Skyclad has the folky elements akin to folk songs from the middle ages with catchy melodies, gruff clean vocals, driven by distorted guitar and occasional keyboards, supplemented by intelligent lyrics.   Nov 20, 2022

"Prince of the Poverty Line" by Skyclad offers up some of the most strongest, inventive and interesting first wave Folk Metal ever. The music is sharp, aggressive, and catchy with that unique folk sound, accented by the use of the fiddle, that Skyclad has mastered.   Nov 20, 2022

Armored Saint is probably best known as the former band of John Bush, while his days and quality work with this band is often overlooked. Delirious Nomad contains the best Armored Saint songs packed with a clear and heavy production. Armored Saint’s second studio recording offers strong Heavy Metal. Nothing more, nothing less.   Nov 20, 2022

Armored Saint is of those Heavy Metal bands that had everything to become big, but for unknown reasons they always failed to reach major success. One of the strong points of Armored Saint is their ability to write catchy and addicting riffs. I also want to mention that "Raising Fear" has one of the best metal album cover arts I’ve seen.   Nov 20, 2022

A pretty good live recording, even if it has a weaker sound at times. Tracks was recorded live at the Agora Ballroom, Cleveland, USA. Last song "No Reason to Live" was taken from the first demo sessions in 1982.   Nov 20, 2022

very bad & very weird album, a furious mix of different styles forced together, but don't fit together. There's a lack of coherence, good ideas and most of the time songwriting gets sacrificed for general weirdness.   Nov 20, 2022

Human definitely marked the beginning of a new era for Death and is more mature than most of its contemporaries at the time. The music is not exactly my style, but I can appreciate the quality of the album, as I have listened to it several times in the past and I will definitely listen to it again in the future.   Nov 20, 2022

As far as its impact on Metal, it is one of the earliest Melodic Death Metal albums. The fusion of thrash inflected traditional heavy metal riffs with death metal parts and melodies showed that what was once old could be cobbled into something new. Songs are of a high standard of quality that one would expect from an album deemed to be one of the best in its genre.   Nov 20, 2022

Individual Thought Patterns is one of Death's mid-releases and is another album with new line-up. Yes, Steve DiGiorgio was still left in the bass but Paul Masvidal was replaced by Andy LaRocque (King Diamond, Illwill) and Sean Reinert was replaced by Gene Hoglan (Dark Angel, Testament, etc.). This album clearly sounds like a band that just wanted to explore the progressive world and move away from the death metal world.   Nov 20, 2022

very good album, still I prefer Use Your Illusion I & II little bit more. With over 30 million copies sold worldwide, it is also one of the best selling albums of all time. Original album cover art depicted a robotic rapist about to be punished by a metal avenger. It was subsequently replaced with an image depicting a Celtic cross and skulls of the five band members.   Nov 20, 2022

as I wrote in the previous part of UYI, this should be in every rock & metal fan's library. Albums were released on September 17, 1991, so it's been more than 31 years since the release, and they still entertain. Use Your Illusion albums represent a turning point in the sound and music of Guns N' Roses. Music still contains Hard Rock sound/guitar parts, but is more diverse, incorporating elements of blues, classical music and classic rock and roll.   Nov 20, 2022

This should be in every rock & metal fan's library. I don't see a difference in quality between Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II. Both albums contain excellent songs and many unforgettable moments.   Nov 20, 2022

Music here is monstrously brilliant mix of quality musical ideas & top notch production. Another great album, although slightly weaker than the previous one, as it also contains two less prominent songs. Ozzy had just such a perfect voice for this genre at the time.   Nov 20, 2022

I think that No More Tears is best Ozzy Osbourne album. This was the top point of Zakk Wylde career as well as one of the best times for Ozzy (including period with Black Sabbath). So many hits based on guitar oriented songs on one album. Everything sounds just awesome in this album, the vocals, guitars, drums and bass guitar.   Nov 20, 2022

Moonflower Society is Avantasia’s ninth release (I don't count two EP recordings) and successfully utilizes the project’s strengths and offers an perfect album, that is good enough to warrant a listen & buy.   Nov 20, 2022

combination of Technical Death/Thrash Metal. They are not among the best bands of the genre, as sometimes the music is monotonous, but as a whole it is capable.   Nov 19, 2022

This album represents one of the highlights of the band’s creativity as well as its mastery of Doom/Gothic Metal. Draconian Times is timeless, elegant, sophisticated and powerful. Overall, what Paradise Lost created here is an album for the ages. A milestone in metal music in general. The brilliance of this album lies in its ability to please die-hard metal fans as well as casual listeners. The riffs are heavy, but not unbearably crushing.   Nov 18, 2022

I have a weakness for the Cemetary group. I was initially interested in their next two albums and then I fell in love with the entire discography. Music on Godless Beauty combines Melodic Death/Doom & Gothic Metal. Cemetary’s songs are fairly basic in design in slow or mid-paced tempo, with lot of emotions, dreary moods, atmospheric lead guitars, interesting solos, beautiful melancholy and the darkness of riffs.   Nov 18, 2022

Christofer Johnsson made the smartest move in his carreer to let his bandmates cooperate on the material at such a large scale. Therion sounds at Gothic Kabbalah album more as a band than ever. Therion manages to pull of just over 80 minutes of complete originality Symphonic/Operatic mythological Metal album. And the singing is generally famous. One of their best albums since 2000.   Nov 17, 2022

One year after releasing Deggial album, Therion are back with great Secret of the Runes album. There are a lot of good things: the riffs are just amazing & when there are guitar solos, they fit perfectly well with the song structure. Singing consists of two different styles, an operatic male vocalist and operatic female background vocals. Music transports listener to the nine worlds of Norse myth, reveling in the glory of the gods and the valor of men.   Nov 17, 2022

Leviathan II is the second instalment of Therions Leviathan Trilogy launched last year with the release of the first part. The album is packed with everything what we knew in the past and that's a combination of Symphonic/Operatic Rock & Metal. The music is mostly in medium or slow tempo with less prominent guitars and a rhythm section while choirs & orchestrations are, as always a significant part of music.   Nov 17, 2022

I've been thinking for a long time how many points I should give to the new Evergrey album. Currently, it seems underrated to me, but on the other hand, I miss more moments with elaborate instrumental parts. Don't get me wrong, the album is quality, it's still in Progressive/Power Metal style, but I like them best in musically more complicated and developed parts, which could be again more frequent.   Nov 17, 2022

some songs are interesting, but overall it's quite unbalanced and disjointed   Nov 17, 2022

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
