Amazing album. I've known this band due to an interview from Max Cavalera who told that this album was one of the best thrash metal works that made him go into music. Reanimation, The Entity, Forever Enslaved and Cyanide are the highlights for me. Afterlife is the weakest one.   Aug 5, 2024

Great album. I think that only "Lessons" and "Tears" doesn't catch me that much as the others. 2112 is a travel through the mind and Twilight Zone is my favorite.   Aug 4, 2024

Good, but kind of different. It doesn't really grab me enough. It's a mix of heavy metal, speed metal and thrash metal, but none of those elements seem to stand out that much.   Aug 4, 2024

A very great prog vibe. Better than the previous one "British Standard Approved", for sure. They could capture the essence of the inovation here more than before. Great prog/rock album.   Aug 3, 2024

Great album. Not on the same level as 2010's "Time Is Up". Nevertheless this work is great for this time. The only "bad" song for me was the first one. The rest is good/great!   Aug 3, 2024

Good album, but that's it. Nothing bigger than expected. The first self-titled track is the highlight of the work. The following ones were good, but not at the same level. A regular/good thrash metal album. "Absence of Light" is another highlight. Great chorus and just the right amount of aggression.   Aug 2, 2024

Probably the best European thrash metal album of all time. The first four tracks are masterpieces. The next two tracks don't keep up the pace, but Sodom returns with the punk vibes in "Ausgebombt", ​​which is phenomenal. The first seconds of the final track reminds a little bit of Sepultura's style. Great too.   Aug 1, 2024

Their creativity and groove are great. Avatar's best album and one of the best of 2023 with Soen's Memorial. The first seven tracks are untouchable. "Dance Devil Dance", "The Dirt I'm Buried In", "On the Beach" are the highlights for me. The blues track "Train" is also amazing. It shows one of the strengths of Swedish and European bands in general: their diversity and flexibility. Great album.   Aug 1, 2024

In a different scenario for metal, Sodom unleashes a powerful thrash metal work. Good album. Code Red is a good start, but the album explodes with a big and catchy guitar conduction in "Tombstone". The vocals reminds a lot of Tom Araya by the way. Another great highlight for sure is Cowardice.   Jul 31, 2024

Not as good as I expected.   Jul 31, 2024

The best 2023 album. One of the best of the genre and obviously the best one in the average Soen's discography. Joel's voice is so unique and gorgeous. Martin Lopez good as always. The balancing between the heavy and slowly parts are perfect. The whole band was fantastic in this work. Memorial, Violence, Unbreakable and the emotional ballad Vitals sets a whole new level for Soen. 90/100 album but could it be 95...   Jul 31, 2024

Good album. Reminds me a lot of the early NWOBHM in some moments like "Aiming for the Sky", which is the best song in this work. Fredrik Werner's voice is incredible. The guitar lines takes a long time to evolve during the album, but are good too in general, specially in "Raid or Die".   Jul 31, 2024

The melody comes out so easily. Some great and catchy songs here like "Countdown to Revolution" and "Kingdom of Light". Good work.   Jul 31, 2024

One of the best pure metal albums of all time. FTW, Children of Heaven, Runaway and Evil Spell are absolute classics   Jul 31, 2024

Perfect first side. All killer songs. The b-side could be better. For that , a 90/100   Jul 30, 2024

For me, the best glam metal album at the time   Jul 30, 2024

I can't choose between this and the second album. Both great   Jul 30, 2024

Good album   Jul 30, 2024

Their best work for me. There's no bad songs.   Jul 30, 2024

A masterpiece. One of those genre-defining classics that will echo for years to come. The instrumentals are incredible. I prefer EDM, but I know this right here is a perfect album, it's more a matter of taste. Those clean, dry guitar attacks from Johansson and Bjorkman are phenomenal. Their best guitar stuff... Best ones: "The Well of Souls", "At The Gallows End", "Black Candles", "Dark Are The Veils of Death", "Samarithan"; Bad ones: There's none   Jul 30, 2024

This album matches a little what have been done in Headless Cross. So, it's kind of hard to decide which one is better but both are good albums. The track "the Sabbath Stones" are incredible. "Valhala" comes right after. There's no bad songs here, but also no amazing ones. A good album after all.   Jul 29, 2024

The best album with Andi Deris. His joyness singing here is captivating. In the track "Power" we can see that. "A million to One" and "Mission Motherland" are classics too with fantastic and catchy choruses.   Jul 29, 2024

A masterpiece. Coverdale and Blackmore together is fantastic. Mistreated, Sail Away and Might Just Take your Life are hits. A perfect addictive and dirty hard rock   Jul 29, 2024

Good one. Side A is perfect. The B-side decreases a little bit. Best ones: Now That We're Dead, Halo on Fire, Hardwired   Jul 29, 2024

The best album since Youthanasia. and this has to do with Kiko Loureiro's increased participation in the compositions (in practically all tracks)   Jul 29, 2024

A hell of a beast album. Not that speed as RIP but the heavy metal touch of this album was great. The guitar work in "Wake Up Dead" and the catchy riff in "Peace Sells" are the highlights for me. This album is behind some other Megadeth other works but still fantastic. 90/100   Jul 29, 2024

Sepultura was a lot of bands in one. This is the best part for me: the groove metal sepultura. I love the thrash metal albuns like "Arise" but this one right here is the beginning of the monster that Sepultura became in the world   Jul 29, 2024

Almost a 95 for me. That heavy sound, which comes from the doom metal bands for sure, is amazing. Sea of Sorrow, Bleed the Freak, Confusion, Sunshine, We Die Young and Man in the Box and the best one Love Hate Love are out of this World. Perfect debut   Jul 29, 2024

Definitely one of the greatest metal albums debut of all time. All tracks are strong.   Jul 29, 2024

This is not just a simple album by a random metal band, this is an experience, a long journey that lasted 20 years and finally ended in the most masterful way possible. I'm still at a loss for words to describe what this album means to me, Time I was my favorite album and Sons Of Winter and Stars my life song, but I believe that now this has finally been surpassed mainly by Silver Leaves, which for me is the best thing Jari has ever composed. Anyway, just listen to this!   Aug 30, 2024

Holy f***!   Aug 30, 2024

아예 심포닉메탈로 전향해버린 플갓. 그나마 연장해주던 데스메탈적 터치는 이번 앨범에서는 찾아보기 힘들 수준이다.. 새로운 팬층을 확보할 수는 있겠지만 나는 1집이나 최소한 Labyrinth까지의 플갓이 이들 스타일의 마지노선이었다고 본다. 그때에 비하면 너무 유치해져버린 이들의 음악이 아닐수 없다.   Aug 31, 2024

The album was worth the waiting. It has it all: from majestic and epic orchestration to fast, melodic guitar solos, varied vocals and awesome pace changes and chord progressions.   Sep 2, 2024

(커멘트가 날아갔네요) 간단히 다시 남기자면... 한마디로 이정도의 작품을 다시 만날수 있을까 싶을 정도의 명작이다.   Sep 6, 2024

듣고나니 점수는 정해졌다. 하지만 이 앨범을 기다린 12년의 세월과 이 앨범을 들으며 스쳐간 약 50분의 희노애락을 이곳에 어떻게 담아낼지 나는 도저히 엄두가 나지 않는다.   Sep 4, 2024

이 자켓 그림에 울분을 느낄 정도의 분들이라면 한국에서 버젓이 유통되고있는 바람의 검심과 사무라이 스피리츠를 본다면 타락한 세태를 한탄하다 각혈하고 쓰러져 사경을 헤매지 않을까. 옛날 카콥 논란때도 그렇지만 사람들이 영화,게임등과 달리 음악에만 왜이리 편협해지는건지 알다가도 모를 일.   Sep 7, 2024

Absolutely amazing, this is one of the best metal albums ever! Everybody loves the way of the fire and one with the shadows, yet Storm really is something else. I can't get tired enough, I have heard this more than 20 times already and still I find new sounds and details everytime I listen to it. It's not a metal album, Time I and II are a complete symphony. Masterpiece. The only sad part is you don't get to really feel the experience with an MP3 or cheap earphones.   5 days ago

하던대로 아주 잘한 다크트랭퀼리티. 다만 이번 앨범은 분위기적인 측면이 강했던 Haven이나 Construct 등을 들을 때 느끼던 전율보다는 ‘멜로디와 구성이 아주 좋다‘라는 느낌을 많이 받았다. 전작 Atoma와 Moments의 연장선이랄까. 다음 앨범에서는 이들이 잘하는 전매특허의 분위기 넘치는 DT 사운드를 더 들려줬으면 한다.   Aug 20, 2024

듣는 내내 미쳤다는 말밖에 안나옴.   Aug 20, 2024

Some people will say this is powerviolence / not a metal genre, but this is craazzzyyy heavy. I found the songs more focused & powerful than their 2010 album. These guys were definitely in the moment. Great music.   Aug 22, 2024

데빈식 괴짜 인더스트리얼이라고나 할까 좋은 후클란의 적당히 두들겨 패는 드러밍부터 시작해서 꽤나 왁짜지껄하다 많이 들어 보지는 않았지만 꽤나 맘에 드는 앨범이다.   Aug 23, 2024

It flows easily. Great album. I remember that I don't like their previous albums but this one is fire. "Devils and Angels", "All the Bad Men", "While the Spiders Spin" are my favorite tracks.   Aug 24, 2024

Again? So once again? For real. Stratovarius has once again made an almost perfect album, while updating their own sound and inventing a completely new genre: modern power metal. "Survive" is the band's best since the masterpiece "Visions", with the song material being of unimaginable quality. The instruments are also still in possession, and it must be said that Mr. Johansson is perhaps the best keyboard player in the world. Really great piece, play this hard!   Aug 24, 2024

이미 공개된 싱글 트랙들을 미루어 짐작한대로 전작의 슈거와 비슷한 살점신식 탕후루 같은 트랙들이 주류가 돼 전작과 비중이 정 반대가 되었다. 결과적으로 나쁘지는 않았지만, 이대로 간다면 데쓰 아마란스 각이라 조금 우려스럽다. 킹치만 그만큼 라이브에서의 호응도는 더욱 높아질 것으로 예상되니 또 내한 해 줘...ㅠㅜ   Aug 26, 2024

90-95.use 앨범은 2가 확실히 좋은듯.개인적 생각은 2를 위주로 1과 섞어서 70분*2시디로 한앨범으로 묶었으면 어땠을까 싶지만 이건 이것대로 아쉬웠을지도. 오랜 시간 들어왔던 이 건스의 초기작 중 이제야 확실히 취향에 따른 순위는 정했다. 1집,use2,use1순.터미네이터2에 나왔던 12.어릴 적 친구들이 13번과 오리지널 비교하며 떠들던 기억이 나는 앨범   Aug 27, 2024

소프라노 보컬 비중이 너무 많이 늘었다...근데 이 심포닉스러운게 아니라 그냥 파워메탈 같은 느낌으로 불러서 좀 이질감이 심해져서 이도 저도 아닌 음악이 될거같음   Aug 29, 2024

분명히 깔끔한 녹음과 매력적인 요소들로 귀를 잡아끄는 순간이 많지만 그 조합이 너무 매끄럽다고 할까. 가장 폭력적이어야 할 순간에도 그러지 못하고 깔끔한 느낌인 것이 아쉅다. 듣기 편해졌지만 매력적인 부분이 퇴보한 느낌으로 일장일단이 있겠다. 많은 메탈헤드들에게 어필할 듣기 좋은 앨범임은 부정할 수 없다.   Sep 1, 2024

네오클래시컬 이라는 지금은 죽어버린 이 서브장르 내에서 이보다 뛰어난 작품은 없다고 본다. 잉베이 1집, 토니 매컬파인 2집 (에릭 존슨과 스티브 바이의 작품은 이 범주애 넣지 않았음) 정도만 이 작품에 견줄 수 있으며 워낙 꿀꿀이 보컬을 많이 들어서 그런가 피터 마리노의 보컬도 개성있고 좋다. 아트마 아뉘르의 시대를 앞서간 드러밍도 예술이다.   Sep 4, 2024
