The Black Metal material is good, but the Viking and Folky material here is quite bad, sounding like a parody of the epic sound. Feb 13, 2023


A return to Viking Metal style, but not a very strong one. On par with the weakest Viking Metal of previous works. Feb 13, 2023


An unfortunate step down from the interesting debut, this one less metallic or memorable. Feb 13, 2023


Actually really phenomenal Sympho/Atmospheric Black Metal. Awesome emotion, melodies and atmospheres here. Feb 12, 2023


Actually better than the album it accompanied thanks to cutting out all the fluff. Feb 12, 2023


While it has some incredibly epic moments, overall this is a step down from the debut for me. Too much folky/regional stuff here. Feb 12, 2023


Amorphis drop a lot of their Death Metal sound and go very melodic, playing Progressive folky Metal. Feb 12, 2023


Much weaker than the debut, and way too much Grunge sound here. Really no great songs despite the length either. Feb 12, 2023


Not Accept's strongest album, but Crossroads and Crucified are up there with their best songs. Feb 12, 2023


Nice collection of covers. Not as great as any original material but still this is good stuff. Feb 12, 2023


Really rough first demo from Slipknot. Moments of intense creativity are abound, but they had no idea what they were going for yet, and the whole thing is a sloppy mess. Feb 12, 2023


Very generic Black Metal EP, nothing wrong with it, but it doesn't really offer much. Feb 12, 2023


Odd EP with some okay material and some really bad material. Not worth it. Feb 12, 2023


Great EP from one of the earlier Meloblack bands, not super unique but quality nonetheless. Feb 12, 2023


The Melodeath tracks are fantastic, the final EDM track is horrendous. Feb 12, 2023


A decent start for the now legendary Melodeath band. Feb 12, 2023


As someone who is not a big fan of Stoner Metal, I will admit these guys are underrated. They can write some good riffs. Feb 12, 2023


Slough Feg are kind of a cult rebirth of Traditional Heavy Metal tropes, but their debut album was surprisingly folky and mediocre. Feb 12, 2023


Root completely forgo their Black Metal... uh, roots, for a straightforward Heavy Metal album. It's surprisingly good, very catchy for an ex Black Metal band. Feb 12, 2023


More great doomy Sludge Metal from one of the pioneers. As always full of depressive rage. Feb 12, 2023


Atrociously boring Drone Stoner Rock. with other boring influences like Experimental Rock and Minimalism. Feb 12, 2023


Less consistent than the debut, but still very good, and the peaks like "Enter the Idol" are even better. Feb 12, 2023


Really nice Gothic Heavy Metal with Symphonic, Progressive and Christian undertones. Lead vocalist has a crazy voice. Feb 12, 2023


Very good Meloblack with some strong Gothic and Death Doom influence, a nice gloomy listen. Feb 12, 2023


Another gross Ministry album. Repetitive and lacking anything really memorable. The title track is good though. Feb 12, 2023


Strong album from Riot, very consistent front to back. Feb 12, 2023


Huge drop in quality as underrated Thrash masters turn generic Groove Metal copycats. It's okay for a Groove album. Feb 12, 2023


Very bizarre avant-Garde Metal album, though I guess what you'd expect from the band. Sacrifices quality music in the interest of being quirky. Feb 11, 2023


Very generic Hard Rock, it's got some pretty great songs but also a ton of filler. Feb 11, 2023


A re-recording of the band's debut album, and it's certainly an improvement. Feb 11, 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. 4 days ago


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




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


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