The Chasm have completely moved away from any Doom influence, playing straight Death Metal here. Strong and consistent, thought the songs lack memorability. Jan 26, 2024


More of Tankard being Tankard. Goofy pizza Thrash. This album isn't any better or worse than the previous many. Jan 26, 2024


Perfect follow up to Visions, capitalizing on the same strengths. Equal in quality. Jan 26, 2024


Man, this just capitalized on all the negative tropes of both Nu Metal and Groove Metal to close out the decade with an example of what not to do. Nothing enjoyable here. Jan 26, 2024


Maybe the band's weakest effort, but it's still a decent Epic Doom album. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any true stand out tracks. Jan 26, 2024


Is it one of Slayer's weakest albums? Sure. is it still phenomenal to me? You bet! Some of these songs are seriously dark, even for Slayer, creating a very moody yet modern sound here. Desire remains an all time favorite song of mine. It's not their worst, I put this above GHUA and Repentless personally. Jan 26, 2024


Found this a fair bit weaker than their usual affair. The atmosphere just felt off, synths weren't working well with the guitars. Still good, but especially a bit boring at times. Jan 26, 2024


It's not good, but it's certainly better than Roots... Jan 26, 2024


The Underworld acts bring this down from a strong Death Metal record to something completely unlistenable in full. What were they thinking. Jan 26, 2024


Adding a burp sound effect is a great way to kill the mood of a dark, gloomy song. Otherwise, great stuff. Jan 26, 2024


As usual, Savatage deliver a melodramatic and compelling concept album. Passionate and full of neoclassical melodies. Jan 26, 2024


Running Wild's string of consistent Heavy/Power Metal starts to crumble here. It's solid enough, but it really doesn't have any true highlights. Jan 26, 2024


Eh. He's doing the Halloween shtick pretty well. For me, the songs are too rhythmic and repetitive, without strong riffs or catchy choruses to carry them. Jan 26, 2024


Riot remains a consistent player in the game. Nothing new or groundbreaking here, but it's good if you want more of their usual sound. Jan 26, 2024


Massive improvement from the debut. This one has so much more power, and the orchestral compositions sounds less silly, and work with the music better. Great sophomore album. Jan 26, 2024


More of Rage's standard fare. No masterpieces here, but you get highly consistent Speed/Heavy/Power Metal tracks with great riffs and drumming. Jan 26, 2024


Some of the songwriting here is super interesting. The band mixes melodies and chord progressions that sound happy or uplifting, but then add some dissonant... er, harmonies on top that just make it sound unnerving. Very unique stuff. Doesn't always work though, and most songs jump between great sections and boring sections. Jan 26, 2024


Another great album by Opeth. A few of the tracks here, namely "Demon of the Fall" and "Karma" remain some of their best ever. The concept story is an added bonus. Jan 26, 2024


Nile got super brutal here, and in doing so sacrificed songwiritng and memorability. This thing is in one ear out the other. The tribal interludes are awful as well. Jan 26, 2024


32 for all time on this website? It's great, but it's not THAT great. Much improvement over the debut, and displays a wide variety of styles here, most pulled off pretty well. "Walking in the Air" is a very pleasant surprise. Jan 26, 2024


As far as Grindcore goes, it's pretty standard. Not really special. Jan 26, 2024


Great, great album that is unfortunately brought far down by the worst track the band ever wrote. The rest of the material on here is some of their most creative, mixing Gothic Doom with Alt Metal, Avante-Garde Metal, and more. Jan 26, 2024


Don't get why this one is so maligned, sounds just like all their other albums. Jan 26, 2024


To me, this was a huge step down in Morbid Angel's riff crafting ability. These songs just don't have the same hooks as before. It's all quite brutal, but not memorable. Most of it still manages to be strong, but there are also a plethora of atrocious interludes, as had become the norm for the band... Jan 26, 2024


Plagued by inconsistency. Plenty of fantastic tracks, equally as many that are quite poor. Definitely worth it for the career highlights though. Jan 26, 2024


Metallica have always been good at covers, and here they display that quite well. Unfortunately, there's just too much mediocre material here. Not quite Metallica's fault, just that they chose to cover some... boring or mediocre songs. But almost every song here is at least on par with the original. Jan 26, 2024


Much of what I hate in this style of Metal is present here. Riffless, repetitive chugging. Absolutely void of emotion or feeling. Dissonance, discordance, unpleasantness. Jan 26, 2024


Often hailed as his magnum opus, this album is full of hits, but also inconsistent across it's 14 tracks. Too many of them are quite bad, but the highlights are indeed phenomenal. Jan 26, 2024


An atrocity of a band totally lost, without identity, experimenting directionless with no goal in mind. On the plus side, it's kind of interesting because of how wack it is. Jan 26, 2024


Another great album, filled with catchy anthems, impressive musicianship and interesting songwriting. HAs all the hallmarks of great Progressive Power Metal. Jan 26, 2024

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



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



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. 3 days ago


Great classic album with incredible songs like "The Evil That Men do","Moonchild" or "The Clairvoyant". Mar 4, 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



Very good album by Dream Theater. As always Mar 4, 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
