Phenomenal Power Metal, with awesome guitar leads, very energetic and powerful, amazing debut. Jul 27, 2023


In my opinion, this is a weak Sympho-Death album, very light on the Death Metal. Doesn't have any memorable riffs, symphonic elements are kind of just there, songwriting is weak. Jul 27, 2023


Moments of absolute brilliance are unfortunately squashed between much more mediocre sections. Part IV for example is one of their greatest songs stuck between over 2 minutes of pointless boring into and outro music fattening it up. Jul 27, 2023


I was never a huge fan of Faith No More, but this album lacks just about any redeeming factors the previous few had. Very weak. Jul 27, 2023


Sub par Melodeath, but it's got a few strong songs on it. Jul 27, 2023


Too much Avant-Garde/Psychedelic influence, the music is too focused on crafting weird sounds that it usually fails to create convincing atmosphere or mood. But, it's strong for what it does. First track has some great gloomy guitar progressions. Jul 27, 2023


Decent Death'N'Roll, but it definitely lacks for energy after the awesome first track. Jul 26, 2023


Another great album from Enslaved, featuring long, progressive songwriting in the Viking Metal style. Jul 26, 2023


Another big drop in quality for Dream Theater. Some great songs like You Not Me, but this meanders way too much, mostly filler. Jul 26, 2023


Fantastic Death/Melodeath/Death'n'Roll, tons of aggression and misanthropic passion. Lovely riffs. Jul 26, 2023


It's a good album, but I don't really see the hype. Pretty standard Black Metal with some Thrash influence, not even enough to call this Blackened Thrash. Jul 26, 2023


Solid, albeit generic Gothic/Heavy Metal, as the bans delivered before. Jul 26, 2023


Another triumph by Dark Tranquility, mixing guitar virtuosity with dark moods. Jul 26, 2023


Masterful Neoclassical Metal, fantastic guitar riffs, solo, great vocals and drumming, all around wonderful package. Jul 26, 2023


Mix of Melodeath and Power Metal. Very melodic, speedy, consistent, but lacks any real atmosphere or mood. Jul 26, 2023


A bit weaker than previous efforts. Inconsistent, but "Carbon Heart" is a fantastic closer. Jul 26, 2023


Boring Dungeon Synth, really doesn't craft any memorable melodies or atmospheres. Jul 26, 2023


Very strong Folky Black/Viking Metal, builds good atmosphere, nice vocals too. Jul 26, 2023


A total embarrassment after their previously strong album. This ain't Progressive Metal, this is Alt Metal and Heavy Metal played in a very boring, unpassionate way. Jul 26, 2023


The Gothic Doom material here is great, but the remixes are atrocious and bring this down a large amount. Jul 25, 2023


Stronger than all their previous material, Summoning are figuring out how to make songs rather than directionless meanderings. The Dungeon Synth melodies are nice. Jul 25, 2023


This Sigh release has some interesting material on it, but it's wholly inconsistent. Jul 25, 2023


Worth it for the awesome and original "Goliaths Disarm Their Davids" Jul 25, 2023


Unique piece of music early on in the now notable Japanese Metal band's career. Not essential, but it stands on its own. Jul 25, 2023


Doomy Folk Metal, quite strong for a demo. Jul 25, 2023


Odd Post-Hardcore Alternative Rock with a focus on post-breakup alcoholism. Has some very strong moments, but overall is disjointed and inconsistent. Jul 25, 2023


This Metalcore isn't lacking in musicianship, but it doesn't have many memorable moments. Jul 25, 2023


Speedy Prog Metal with a generous Power Metal influence and interesting lyricism. Never a dull moment. Jul 25, 2023


One of those bands that is decent enough, but have nothing that makes them standout. Jul 25, 2023


Above average Deathgrind with decent riffs and a great rhythm section. Jul 25, 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



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
