System of a Down
level 5 mhvasconcelos   80/100
A great debut. Not like the nu metal vibes at the time. A good mix of oldschool metal with some funny approaches   Jul 29, 2024
Aqua
preview  Angra preview  Aqua (2010)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   75/100
Not a bad as everybody says. Great moments like "Lease of Life", "Arising Thunder", A Monster in Her Eyes". An average/okay album, given their context at the time.   Jul 29, 2024
Hunters and Prey
preview  Angra preview  Hunters and Prey (2002)  [EP]
level 5 mhvasconcelos   80/100
This EP is a kind of continuation of Rebirth, but a bit more experimental, as we can see in the tracks "Caça e Caçador" and "Mama". The most Rebirth-like song is "Eyes of Christ", one of the highlights of the EP. The acoustic version of Rebirth is great, but Heroes of Sand not so much. All in all, a great EP. Best One: Eyes of Christ; Not the best: Mama   Jul 29, 2024
Wolf's Return
preview  Grand Magus preview  Wolf's Return (2005)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   70/100
They lost that doom metal touch in this work, but the work is not a lot more than average. Maybe they were trying to find themselves in the genre. However, like pretty much all of the band's albums, it's not a bad experience. Every single one of their works is kind of enjoyable at some point, but this is average. Best ones: Nine; Bad ones: Blood Oath; Wolf's Return;   Jul 28, 2024
Monument
preview  Grand Magus preview  Monument (2003)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   75/100
It's a enjoyable doom metal album. Analyzing it coldly, it's just a good album, nothing more. The first track "Ulvaskall (Vargr)" is excellent. The rest, just good. It's very difficult to make a doom metal album without sounding monotonous (I'm saying this as a doom metal fan). But as far as it goes, Grand Magus does a good job here. Best ones: Ulvaskall (Vargr)   Jul 28, 2024
XIII
preview  Mushroomhead preview  XIII (2003)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   80/100
A good album. Amazing tracks like "Sun Doesn't Rise", "Kil Tomorrow", the long "Destroy the World Around Me". But that's about it. "Our Own Way" also deserves a mention. Good mix of new metal stuff with heavy riffs. The other not-so-great songs don't detract from the experience. Some good moments in them too.   Jul 27, 2024

The Battle of Los Angeles
level 5 mhvasconcelos   85/100
The album starts off on fire with hit after hit, falls off a bit on "Mic Check", but comes back with two bombs: "Sleep Now in The Fire" and "Born of a Broken Man". In the second half of the album, I think "Voice of the Voiceless" is a notable highlight, but that's about it. It's not better than Rage's first album, but it's probably their second best album. Best: Calm Like a Bomb Sleep Now in The Fire Born of a Broken Man Guerrila Radio Weakest: Ashes in the Fall   Jul 27, 2024
Temple of the Dog
level 5 mhvasconcelos   85/100
A great "one album band". Temple of The Dog begins as a tribute to Andrew Wood who have been the leader of the great band "Mother Love Bone". Andy also was friend and roommate of Chris. The album is beautiful. Best ones: Four Walled World Hunger Strike Call Me a Dog Say Hello 2 Heaven Bad ones: Pushin Forward back   Jul 26, 2024
Breaking the Silence
preview  Heathen preview  Breaking the Silence (1987)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   80/100
Good for a debut. The band begins with a regular thrash metal album. Less "violent" than Slayer and other bands, but the experience is not bad. The vocals are good enough to make this work listenable. Best ones: Goblin's Blade Breaking the silence Bad ones: World's End Save the Skull   Jul 26, 2024
The Grand Illusion
preview  Styx preview  The Grand Illusion (1977)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   100/100
A great album. "Man in The Wilderness" is a masterpiece. "Grand Illusion" is amazing too. one of the best works of classic rock. Hard to choose a couple of songs to highlight. All tracks are outstanding. Perfect album   Jul 25, 2024
Canterbury
preview  Diamond Head preview  Canterbury (1983)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   85/100
Hard to define, but Canterbury is a great album. Starts out the gate with a catchy hard rock riff. "Makin Music", "The Kingmaker", "Ishmael" are amazing tracks. "To the Devi His Due" is a masterpiece, the best in the album.   Jul 25, 2024
British Standard Approved
level 5 mhvasconcelos   80/100
I'm amazed at how this band makes strong songs that showcase the brilliance of Mal Spooner and David Hill. Even on this album that I'm not particularly a fan of. Here, the group embraces the progressive style. A great thing by the way. "Fromm the Outside" is amazing. "The Link" and "New Ground" too. This is not good as the previous albums. Nevertheless it's good one.   Jul 25, 2024
Divine Intervention
preview  Slayer preview  Divine Intervention (1994)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   65/100
I think the tracks with a number in the title and Paul Bostaph are the reasons this isn't a 60/100 album. A little of the same on all tracks. Bostaph is a monster here. A great drummer. The first track “Killing Fields” brings hope that this will be a good album, but the rest of the work does not follow Slayer's standard. "213" is great, "SS-3" and "Mind Control" are good.   Jul 25, 2024
Corridors of Power
level 5 mhvasconcelos   90/100
The great heavy metal work by Gary Moore. "Cold Hearted", "Don't Take me for a Loser", "End of the World" with Jack Bruce vocals, besides the song "Wishing Well", a great Free cover, makes the record one of the best of the genre. The best work of Gary alongside with "Still Got The Blues".   Jul 24, 2024
To Hell with the Devil
level 5 mhvasconcelos   70/100
A regular glam metal album. Strong ones: To Hell with the Devil. The ballad “Honestly” has a good meaning and intention, so to speak, but it's regular too. "Sing Along Song" have some catchy moments but that's it.   Jul 24, 2024
Sabbath Worshipping Doom
preview  Void Tripper preview  Sabbath Worshipping Doom (2019)  [EP]
level 5 mhvasconcelos   75/100
Good EP. "Black Roots Rising" is definitely a hit. Amazing song   Jul 24, 2024
King of the Grey Islands
level 5 mhvasconcelos   75/100
Not the best of Candlemass. Two great tracks here: "Devil's Seed" and "Clearsight". The rest is normal. Although it's a good album, but not to Candlemass' standard.   Jul 23, 2024
Angels Cry
preview  Angra preview  Angels Cry (1993)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   90/100
One of the best debut albums of all time in heavy metal. The first five tracks are unbelievable. A perfect start. Along with the best version of "Wuthering Heights", the good heavy metal of "Streets of Tomorrow" and the mix of heavy metal and classical music in "Evil Warning" are outstanding   Jul 23, 2024

The Ultimate Sin
level 5 mhvasconcelos   85/100
The self-titled track is the best one in this album, but "Never Know Why" have a good hard rock riff with a great chorus. "Secret Loser" is great too also with a good chorus to sing. "Killer of Giants" is catchy too. Ozzy sounds great in "Never" by the way. A good album. Lots of catchy and memorable choruses.   Jul 23, 2024
Irreversible
preview  Black Medicine preview  Irreversible (2015)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   85/100
A great album with some killer riffs, kind of like some Rage Against The Machine things with Black Sabbath. Love it. On the other hand, the vocals could be better. Still, a 85/100 album for me. Almost 90.   Jul 23, 2024
Point of No Return
preview  Havok preview  Point of No Return (2012)  [EP]
level 5 mhvasconcelos   80/100
Great EP. The Sepultura and Slayer covers are amazing. His own songs are also good, although I don't think any of these songs could have been on his big "Time is Up" from the previous year. Good, but it doesn't compare to the great tracks in their album.   Jul 23, 2024
Damnation
preview  Opeth preview  Damnation (2003)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   80/100
I probably like this folk-prog style more than the death metal, but i found this album a little bit of repetitive although there's some good tracks like "In My Time of Need" and " Death Whispered a Lullaby". "To Rid the Disease" is kind of intersting too. It's a good choice to dive in the psychodelic vibe of this album, but it's not outstanding enough   Jul 22, 2024

Judgement of the Dead
level 5 mhvasconcelos   85/100
The guitar riffs on this album are absolutely killer, with a heavy, hypnotic groove that will stay stuck in your head for days. "Pagan Altar" and "The Black Mass" are definitely hits of early Doom metal years, showcasing the raw energy and dark atmosphere that defined the genre.   Jul 21, 2024
Point Blank

Even though I love Soulfly, this is Max's best project outside of Sepultura. Combines some kind of industrial metal with the usual tribal beats and thrash metal sound. It's absolutely killer   Jul 21, 2024

Mob Rules
preview  Black Sabbath preview  Mob Rules (1981)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   90/100
Probabily a better work than Heaven And Hell, I don't know. But the power of the tracks "Country Girl" (the best Sabbath riff for me), "The Sign of the Southern Cross", "Falling of the Edge of the World" makes the record out of this world.   Jul 21, 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

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

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

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

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
