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

This is 90's modern straight out Heavy Metal with some groove elements & there's lots of good songs here. The riffs and solo's are just amazing, and had Judas Priest done this album it would have been recognized as an even greater album. There are even some death metal mixed vocals on some of the opening songs. Also worth mentioning is the bass work. There's like nothing non-metal about this and wonderful Halford screams all over.   Feb 3, 2023

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

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
