Outer Isolation
preview  Vektor preview  Outer Isolation (2011)
level 12 LuckyStar   75/100
Vektor shows on "Outer Isolation" big musicianship, complex composition, technicality and progressive approach. Band sacrifices none of their intensity and combines thrash aggression with progressive ambition. From my point of view, the vocals are weaker, but this is probably just a matter of taste.   Mar 11, 2023

Terminal Redux
preview  Vektor preview  Terminal Redux (2016)
level 12 LuckyStar   80/100
Vektor are Technical Thrash Metal band with many riffs and solos, but in some ways "Terminal Redux" sees Vektor delving more into Death Metal territory. Not only are the vocals reminiscent of a less irritating Chuck Schuldiner, but a lot of the proggier passages evoke Death’s later career in terms of overall vibe.   Mar 11, 2023

Battle of Ice
level 12 LuckyStar   85/100
Italians Marco Garau's Magic Opera combine Symphonic Neoclassical Power/Heavy Metal, while they are influenced by groups like Helloween, Rhapsody of Fire and Malmsteen. However, compared to the greats, album has several shortcomings, even through quality music. The first is the bland sound of guitars and bass. Another is a less pronounced singing and sometimes addition of growling, which just doesn't suit the performance of the music.   Mar 5, 2023

Dragonfly combine Symphonic Power/Heavy Metal, and even though they are from Brazil, musically they remind me the most of the Italians Rhapsody of Fire. However, in terms of quality, they are a step lower. The music is quite good, but it doesn't contain as many strong ideas, musical twists and top musicianship.   Mar 5, 2023

Rejoice in the Suffering
level 12 LuckyStar   90/100
On first solo album "Rejoice in the Suffering", Todd La Torre shows a different concept and perception of music than his home band Queensrÿche. The music is harder, more direct and metal oriented, without significant progressive elements. It combines elements of the 80s, 90s and the present with an emphasis on Power Metal.   Mar 4, 2023

헬로윈 감마레이로 입문한 저로썬 메탈 장르에 뜸해질때가 많았는데, 간만에 이런 엘범을 처음부터 끝까지 들으니 감회가 새롭습니다. 멜로디면 멜로디 구성이면 구성 정신없이 40분여가량이 순삭되는 경험을 했습니다. 파워메탈 장르가 이렇게 잘 살아있구나 하는 감동 받았습니다.. 메탈이 생소한 아내도 좋아하고 자주 듣네요 ㅎ   Mar 13, 2025

level 20 똘복이   90/100
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

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

LA메탈의 시작을 알리는 역사적 데뷔작. 빈스닐의 거친 코맹맹이 보컬은 아직 뚫리기 전이고 믹과 토미의 연주도 거칠다. 그런데 합주가 시작되면 니키의 베이스와 어우러져 아주 그럴싸한 곡들이 나온다. 아니, 앨범 전체 곡들의 멜로디가 좋아서 버릴 곡들이 없다. 몇개 히트곡에 의존했던 3,4집과는 수준차이가 크며 2집에도 크게 뒤지지 않는다.   Mar 8, 2025

새로운 B급 문화를 만드는데 큰 영향을 준 역사적인 작품이다. 음악 자체는 강렬한 펑크와 블루스, 영국식 헤비메틀이 혼합된 난폭한 스타일이다. 녹음 상태는 열악하지만 감상을 방해하는 정도는 아니다. 서구의 평론가들이 지하감옥에서 연주하는 음악이라고 표현했는데 어쩐지 잘 어울린다.   Mar 9, 2025
