Another album that is outside my taste, but again contains two catchy songs. The rest is just average.   Mar 1, 2023

Marilyn Manson's music never interested me. Apart from one/two songs, their albums and image have always gone beyond my taste.   Mar 1, 2023

The final studio release of the Death catalogue was again recorded with new lineup. Chuck brought his Control Denied playmates Shannon Hamm (guitar), Scott Clendenin (bass) and Richard Christy (drums), all competent enough in their roles. On the musical side, it's as if he's combining his home band with a solo project.   Mar 1, 2023

Black Sabbath's debut studio album is widely regarded as the first Metal album with dark lyrics for the time of release. Album was recorded in a single twelve-hour session on 16 October 1969 and released on 13 February 1970 by Vertigo Records. Aside from the bells, thunder and rain sound effects added to the beginning of the opening track and the double-tracked guitar solos, there were virtually no overdubs added to the album.   Feb 26, 2023

Album "Paranoid" is often cited as key influence for the development of Metal music genre as well as one of the earliest Heavy Metal albums. Album is Sabbath's best-selling record. Black Sabbath returned to the studio with producer Rodger Bain, just four months after the first album was released. In 2017, Rolling Stone magazine considered "Paranoid" as the greatest metal album ever.   Feb 26, 2023

Vol. 4 is Sabbath's 4-th studio album and was the first album produced by guitarist Tony Iommi and Patrick Meehan, the band's then-manager, though his actual involvement in the album's production was minimal. "Snowblind" was album's working title, but Vertigo Records executives were reluctant to release an album with such an obvious drug reference. Recording was plagued with problems, many due to substance abuse.   Feb 26, 2023

"Master of Reality" is Black Sabbath's third studio album released as previous two by Vertigo Records. Album is now considered as one of the greatest Rock/Metal albums of all time, while on release received many negatively reactions by critics. It is regarded as the foundation of doom / stoner / sludge metal. Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler downtuned their instruments during the production, achieving bigger, heavier sound.   Feb 26, 2023

Second album "Dreamweaver" is even better and more varied than the first. Sabbat has managed to put out some very unique albums in their somehow short career. The production is cool, thick guitar sounds & great riffs to be found inside, and aggressive energy drums. Martin Walkyier's vocals are notable too - quite harsh and aggressive, yet very suiting the whole thing.   Feb 25, 2023

"History of a Time To Come” is one of the most impressive Speed/Thrash Metal albums of its day. This is a dark, serious, spiteful record. The band sounded faster, tighter and more venomous than ever before. Martin Walkyier's vile, aggressive, but still melodic vocal style is the perfect vehicle to steer the endless cavalry of well-constructed, intense riffing. And in Andy Sneap we have an excellent guitar player, who showcases his skills with great gitar riffs.   Feb 25, 2023

Fourth Zeppelin's album commonly known as Led Zeppelin IV, was released by Atlantic Records and was produced by guitarist Jimmy Page. Band decided that album would officially be untitled and would be represented instead by four symbols chosen by each band member. Album was a commercial and critical success and is Led Zeppelin's best-selling album, shipping over 37 million copies worldwide.   Feb 24, 2023

"Houses of the Holy" is fifth Zeppelin's studio album and was released by Atlantic Records. Although critical response was mixed, album became a commercial success, with over 10 million albums sold. All instruments and vocals were provided by the band members Robert Plant (vocals), Jimmy Page (guitar), John Paul Jones (bass, keyboards), and John Bonham (drums). Album was produced by Page and mixed by Eddie Kramer.   Feb 24, 2023

Album "Foregone" is return to form for In Flames. There is more Melodic Death Metal on this album, than Metalcore/Groove Metal, but otherwise it is pretty much what they've always been doing. It's just that this time around, most of it clicks for me. Swedes deserve a big plus for recruiting guitarist Chris Broderick, who with his high technical skills nicely colored the solo parts. I can hear bits from every era of In Flames throughout this album.   Feb 24, 2023

"Made in Japan" is live album recorded during first tour of Japan in August 1972 and became a commercial and critical success record. The band did not consider the album to be important and only Glover and Paice showed up to mix it. The band did not want the album to be released outside Japan and wanted full rights to the tapes, but it was released worldwide anyway.   Feb 23, 2023

Album "As in Gardens, So in Tombs" is built on great ideas and melodies, with frequent tempo changes. You can hear keyboards carry the melody, varied synthesizer sounds, melodic guitar riffs and fast cannonade of drums, which together make a good brand for Melodic Black Metal. They know very well, how to compose good songs.   Feb 23, 2023

"Sabotage" is a very well composed, presented and laid out album. It is truly excellent record with the original line-up before drug abuse and personal conflicts let to a first split. Sabotage might be one of the band's gloomiest and heaviest records of all times without losing the band's eerie and psychedelic vibe. Album was recorded in the midst of a legal battle with the band's former manager Patrick Meehan.   Feb 19, 2023

Musically, "Aphelion" is an album with pleasant melancholic atmosphere by use of keyboards, lighter arrangements, soft guitar beats and polished drums. New album is bleak, introverted and coming from a place of darkness, yet full of yearning and anticipation. Even though the music is quite a bit softer than their old albums, it is quite successful. The only problem I have is with the singing, which has changed in recent years and is unnaturally soft.   Feb 19, 2023

As with other Black Sabbath albums, the main strength on "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" is the epic heavy riffs. But there is less of the very dark and doomy sound and there was a rapid increase in sophistication in the overall song structures and progression. You can find here some very melodic and almost symphonicparts scattered about and there is also an increase usage of acoustic guitar and keys.   Feb 19, 2023

The band had been on a long hiatus after Insult to Injury, and their return with a different sound and in a different style was a disappointment for some fans, or some liked the album more than the previous efforts. Stylistically, the band combined Power and Groove Metal. There are several new members here, including bassist Jimmy Preziosa, guitarist Warren Conditi and the new vocalist Rob Gonzo.   Feb 19, 2023

"Virgin Killer" wows the listener with a fresh Rocking sound and an all around tighter musical base. Songs are catchier, more polished and Klaus Meine’s vocals are great. It was the band's 1st album to attract markedly attention outside Europe. Title is described as being a reference to time as the killer of innocence. Original cover featured a nude prepubescent girl, which stirred controversy. As a result, the album was re-issued with a different cover.   Feb 19, 2023

"In Trance" is another absolute essential album and there's no dull moments on this record. This was the first of two studio albums to feature drummer Rudy Lenners, and the first album by the band to contain the now-famous logo and controversial artwork. Material is almost evenly split between two types of songs: those written by Roth and those written by Rudolf Schenker and Klaus Meine.   Feb 19, 2023

"Lonesome Crow" is the debut album by the German Hard Rock band Scorpions. In support of "Lonesome Crow", Scorpions toured as the opening act for the British rock band UFO. At the end of the tour Scorpions lead guitarist Michael Schenker was asked to fill an open position as UFO's guitarist and accepted the position. Schenker's departure temporarily resulted in the breakup of the band but Rudolf Schenker and Klaus Meine ultimately merged with the band Dawn Road.   Feb 19, 2023

I like Scorpions, but it took me a few years to appreciate their music and overall quality. "Fly to the Rainbow" is their second studio album and was their first release with guitarist Uli Jon Roth and bassist Francis Buchholz, and the only one to include drummer Jürgen Rosenthal (all from "Dawn Road" band). Three songs on "Fly to the Rainbow" were co-written with departing guitarist Michael Schenker as part of his agreement on leaving the band.   Feb 18, 2023

Invasion marks the beginning of Manilla Road's long and interesting journey. It's definitely an album worth listening to, although it can hardly stand among the group's finest work. This is not nearly as Metal as the bands later work, being more of a Psychedelic Hard Rock album with few Old school Metal elements.   Feb 18, 2023

This album is only 35 minutes long. The riffs all maintained an amount of Rock attitude and fervor. In terms of professionalism and technicality this is hardly what most would consider particularly excellent. But in many ways this album signifies the slight beginning of what some would term the classic Manilla Road sound. I think the sound still owes a fair amount to '70s Psychedelic/Hard Rock, whereas there are occasional hints of old school Heavy Metal.   Feb 18, 2023

"Mob Rules" is second Black Sabbath release with Ronnie James Dio and the magic is still alive and true. Musically, the band is going for faster numbers and tighter song arrangement, although there is no lack of Sabbath's trademark gloom and doom. Although this album is not quite as influencial as it's predecessor, it contains all the same elements that made the first album great.   Feb 18, 2023

Many fans have prejudices about the given album, but Ian Gillan is an awesome singer and the music is very good chunky Heavy Metal with some doomier moments and great guitar riffs. Music was building still on the Ward-Iommi-Butler line-up. Gillan voice, pushed the band back into their 1970's prime in terms of writing and provided a multi-octave vocal assault to many of the classic tracks.   Feb 18, 2023

"Innocent Victim" is Uriah Heep's 11th studio album released by Bronze Records in the UK and Warner Bros Records in the US. It contains another well-known hit of the band "Free Me".   Feb 18, 2023

"Firefly" was Uriah Heep's first album without their first lead vocalist and founding member David Byron, and the first of three albums with new singer John Lawton. It is their tenth studio album, released by Bronze Records in the UK and Warner Bros Records in the US. Also bassist Trevor Bolder made his Uriah Heep debut on this album.   Feb 18, 2023

"Sweet Freedom" is Uriah Heep's 6th studio album released by Bronze Records in the UK and Warner Bros. Records in the US. Album contains great hit "Stealin' ". Band began to explore new styles to flesh out their combination of Progressive Rock complexity and Hard Rock muscle.   Feb 17, 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.   5 days ago

평점을 안달았다니 이런. 데스메탈갓의 데스메탈, 앞으로도 추앙받을 진정한 마스터피스.   Mar 8, 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.   6 days ago

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

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

Fantastic classic album with the legendary Ronnie James Dio..   Mar 9, 2025
