Sheer power metal album. It's true that lyrics can be cheesy at times and the dragon stuff has been exploited to the core, but in the end this is fantasy power metal. Very good vocals, excellent instrumentation and quite polished production. A 2016's must-listen.   Sep 21, 2016

Top-notch atmospheric black metal. One of the best albums of 2016.   Sep 16, 2016

Another great single released by Veonity. Looking forward to their upcoming album!   Sep 15, 2016

Excellent power metal song. Catchy and solid, with a superb sound production.   Sep 15, 2016

One of the best albums released by Iron Attack! Recommended for every power metal lover.   Sep 13, 2016

Outstanding instrumental introductions and vocal performance, utter depressing atmosphere and amazingly eerie artwork. I can't rate this album higher, simply because I'm not very keen on this type of music. Highly recommended nonetheless.   Sep 13, 2016

It's almost impossible to equal Malmsteen's first albums in greatness and excellence. However, in World on Fire, the legend of neoclassical metal pays tribute to those past masterpieces and plays some new and amazing instrumental songs. Malmsteen's vocals aren't bad, but a more trained metal vocalist would have had a major impact on the non-instrumental tracks. Pleasantly surprised by this album.   Sep 10, 2016

Although the sound of this album may be a little generic, the musicianship is really good and I greatly enjoyed the clean vocals. The harsh vocals, however, get rather repetitive. Putting aside these drawbacks, I would recommend listening to "Drift" because of the solid instrumental work and Jesse Cash's pleasant voice.   Sep 8, 2016

Although the instrumental part is extremely good with impressive guitar solos, the slow clean vocals don't convince me at all. In my opinion, they sound too repetitive due to their tone and excessive calmness. Nevertheless, the effort thrown into this album (5 years and a one-man project), and its notable outcome, is absolutely praiseworthy.   Sep 7, 2016

Sadly, Malkhedant is not as great as its cover art. I think that it needs a better production in relation to sound quality, mixing and mastering (e.g., the choir voices are almost inaudible, instrumental tracks should be more separated to distinguish them...). Despite this, we can find beautiful interludes amongst some songs and many furious and powerful riffs too. Nothing great, but decent album.   Sep 5, 2016

I didn't expect that Crow'sClaw would release an album with "cinematic" sound. Different from their previous albums, but good nonetheless.   Sep 5, 2016

Not as good as their previous album, "Vice Versa", but it is always a pleasure to listen to these Japanese power metal masters.   Sep 4, 2016

I usually don't listen to metalcore, but this cover art caught my attention. In my opinion, "Incarnate" contains several tracks that are very powerful and catchy, whereas others are a little boring and generic. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed listening to this album.   Sep 4, 2016

This album is another example of notable power metal arranged by Iron-Chino. Apart from the convincing and powerful guitar riffs present throughout the entire record, the majority of the guitar and keyboard solos herein are truly amazing. However, this time I believe that the instrumental versions of some songs are unnecessary. Leaving the first seven tracks alone would have been a wiser idea.   Sep 3, 2016

Hizaki has undoubtedly reached the height of his musical career with "Rosario". An almost impeccable album.   Aug 27, 2016

An awesome piece of art by master Norifumi Shima.   Aug 24, 2016

In "Dreamless", Fallujah manages to create a very interesting and futuristic atmosphere throughout the entire record. This provides much consistency and solidity to the album. However, I think that this also leads to a major drawback: some songs seem to be quite similar. Anyway, the excellent musicianship here is as clear as day and the album feels fresh and innovative.   Aug 16, 2016

Good album. The excellent instrumental work arranged by Iron-Chino makes up for the mediocre vocals.   Aug 14, 2016

Return to Metalopolis has some interesting songs, such as the strange but beautiful "The Fall of Babylon" or the powerful "Row of Crows". This is a decent instrumental heavy metal album. Nothing great, but enjoyable.   Aug 6, 2016

Neoclassical metal at its finest.   Aug 3, 2016

Epic symphonic power metal. If you like this genre, you had better listen to this hidden gem.   Aug 2, 2016

Although I consider both the production and the vocals to be quite average, the guitar and keyboard parts are undeniably outstanding. It is a shame that Satoshi Katada has not released more solo albums since Blue Streak. However, if anyone is interested in his other projects, you can listen to his work in 宇宙戦隊NOIZ.   Jul 29, 2016

Excellent compilation. I hope Kamijo continues composing great music for at least another twenty years.   Jul 19, 2016

A Deep Red is proof that Code I are improving their musical level album after album. Really good stuff.   Jul 17, 2016

Magnificent symphonic death metal.   Jul 15, 2016

"I think I'm losing my mind..." From this initial whisper in Charging the Void to the last scream of Recharging the Void we listeners are exposed to an absolute musical perfection. For me, Terminal Redux is undeniably the best album of the year so far. A brutal masterpiece.   Jul 14, 2016

Mediaeval Blood is as great as Dark Delirium's debut album Annihilation. Nevertheless, two significant aspects of the former which are not present in the latter are the following ones: the "modern" music nuances implemented and, of course, the improvement of the production. Undoubtedly, the discography of this band is a sheer pleasure to the ear.   Jun 30, 2016

A very solid and powerful metal album. The eastern themes are marvellously executed.   Jun 29, 2016

In Somniphobia is a very distinctive album. Herein, Sigh manages to create an unique atmosphere, eerie and nightmarish. In my opinion, there are a couple of tracks which are truly astounding. Nevertheless, the middle of the album, the real avant-garde section, is too experimental for my taste. I do not deny its creativity, but it is not my cup of tea. Highly recommendable material, nonetheless.   Jun 25, 2016

스래쉬 음반을 언급할 때 항상 다섯 손가락 안에 꼽는 앨범...모든 곡이 베스트일 정도로 완벽하다. 개인적으로 Stronger Than Hate을 가장 좋아한다.   Nov 6, 2024

85-90, 예전에 빽판으로 즐기던 음반. 운이 좋게 다시 시디로 구입하게 들어보게 되었다. 지금 이 시점에서는 좋게 들렸고 시원시원했다. 녹음은 거칠긴 하나 가끔 너무 갑갑한 믹싱이 되어 있는 메탈음반이 많은데 차라리 이런 식으로 만드는게 낫다 싶다. 1,2집도 언제인가는 구해지지 않을까 생각해본다.   Oct 30, 2024

죽어버린 남자다움에 오함마로 심폐소생을 시키는 앨범. 멈췄던 심장이 그들의 리프와 드럼을 따라 다시 뛰기 시작한다.   Nov 1, 2024

어쿠스틱 기타, 첼로, 플루트 등을 이용하여 녹음한 어쿠스틱 사운드의 작품이다. 그러나 표현하고자 하는 사운드의 방향성 자체는 무겁고 진지하다. 멜로디가 약간 서늘한 냉기를 품고 있다. 더운 여름에 들으면 시원함을 느낄 수도 있지만 대체로 가을의 분위기에 잘 어울린다. 커버아트와 음악의 매칭이 절묘하다.   Nov 4, 2024

90-95. 이 시기의 블가 앨범들은 다 좋은 듯. hansi의 보컬을 더 느끼고 싶어서 사모으기 시작한 앨범인데 그렇다고 나랑 맞는 음악을 하는 밴드가 아닐 수 있었지만 지금까지 몇번들어본 결과는 만족스러운 행진 중이다. the eldar같은 곡은 지금의 나에게는 최고의 곡. 인트로+본곡 같은 스타일로 중복이 되는데 큰 단점같지는 않다. 조화롭게 잘 넘어갔다.   Nov 8, 2024

85- 90 채스틴의 기타가 바삐 움직인다. 당시의 다른 기타리스트와는 다른 맛이 있다. 레더 레온은 참 좋은 보컬같다라고 생각을 또 하게 되었다.   Oct 27, 2024

라센은 일본 빅터에서 받아 동일하게 12번 "Rainy Nights"이 더 들어가 있다. 앙그라 초기는 의외로 많이 듣지 않아 생각보다 익숙하지 않은 면이 있다. 현재는 이 정도 점수를 주고 다음에 또 감상하면서 고쳐보도록 하겠다   Oct 28, 2024

Their most representative album of the eighties, full of innovation and class, with forceful themes and a benchmark in style for the hard rock genre, in fact it is their best-selling work to date! My personal precise rating is (94/100) Faves: Criyng In The Rain and Don´t Turn Away!   Oct 30, 2024

완벽하다. 지금와서 painkiller 정도의 힘을 기대하는 것은 무리지만 관록과 경험으로 영그러진 놀라운 앨범을 냈다. 엔지니어링도 크게 한몫했다.   Oct 31, 2024

옛 모습이 그립다. 그래도 화이팅!   Nov 1, 2024

조금도 기대안했었는데….훌륭합니다!!   Nov 1, 2024

온갖 괴생물체들이 꿈틀거리는듯한 아트워크의 세계관이 펼쳐지며..끈적이는 불협화음 데스 사운드에 빨려든다.   Nov 6, 2024

The album finds Blood Incantation returning to their death metal roots with renewed psychedelic vigour, eager to tear apart familiar metallic ideas   Nov 6, 2024

80-90. 메킹 커멘트를 보고 얼라이브를 베스트 대용으로 해도 된다는 의견에 2,3를 사게 되었는데 1,3에만 rock and roll all nite가 있다는 것을 다시 여기서도 알립니다. 이번에 사게된 앨범이 일본반 shm-cd 규격인데 음질이 나쁜게 아니지만 2보다는 살짝 거친게 아닌가 싶다. 아직까지는 얼라이브 시리즈+일반 스튜디오 베스트 조합으로 끝낼 생각.   Nov 6, 2024

85-90 기본적으로 2010년 이후 이들의 앨범이 특별히 구리다고 생각이 든 적이 없다. 이번 앨범은 기다려도 라센이 안나와서 결국 수입반을 샀다. 전체적인 곡 수준, 연주 수준 모든게 긍정적 방향이다.   Nov 6, 2024

85-95. 5번은 후기 대표곡. 커버한 밴드가 sodom , megadeth, helloween, Jorn 등이 있다. 필 라이엇이 안죽었다면 사이크스가 백사로 과연 넘어갔을까 하는 생각과 씬 리지가 꽤나 터프한 느낌도 갖게 되는 과정이었는데 이 미래가 재미있었겠다 라는 생각이 드는 앨범.   Nov 6, 2024

Very good work on guitars,a tight rhythm sectionand lots of keyboards effects the way only FATES WARNING teached to play !   Nov 7, 2024

훌륭한 데뷰. 1집을 꼭 사야 할까라는 생각으로 살다가 이제야 얻어걸린 느낌으로 사게 되었다. 물론 1집을 필수라고 여기지 않았지만 후회도 없다. 보컬이 멤버들보다 나이가 10여살 많은 걸로 기억하고 게디리의 좀 더 듣기 좋은 버전이라고 생각이 든다. 다만 믹싱이 마음에 들지 않아서 살짝 밋밋하다. 보컬과 드럼이 살짝 뒤로 간 느낌.리믹스가 절실하나 과연?   Nov 7, 2024

밴드가 나이가 있음에도 변화무쌍한 데다 멈출 줄 모르네요.   Nov 8, 2024
