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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Good EP. "Black Roots Rising" is definitely a hit. Amazing song Jul 24, 2024

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
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 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

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

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

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

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

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

A great debut for a young band. Heavy as hell. The track "Voracious Souls" is a classic of thrash metal for sure Jul 21, 2024

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

Harlequin 90/100
신화 속 폭력적인 이면에 대한 감정적 해석의 전달. 에픽한 소재들을 다루면서도 그것에 매몰되어 주객이 전도되지 않게끔 느낌과 표현에 철저히 집중한 듯하며, 그런 면모가 감정적이되 냉철하게 와닿는다. Oct 31, 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

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
