Sticky, sticky Black Metal. The songs are made very well, incorporating top notch riffs with those grainy Darkthrone vocals with a bit of Heavy Metal style vocal usage.   Sep 15, 2015

Call me crazy, but even though this album scored 96 points on Metallum I really didn't feel the album, so to speak. Maybe it requires 50 listens before it clicks, but I'd rather listen to other Epic Doom releases on that precious time.   Sep 15, 2015

Great Black Metal work. The songs are fine, what this band needs more of are track naming skills.   Sep 15, 2015

Great band with a great debut album. These guys were probably the heaviest band around at their time. Excluding the filler tracks every single song is excellent.   Sep 14, 2015

A dopey, psychedelic Thrash Metal trip. Deeply breathe in the weird Old School Progressive Thrash fume, I'm sure you'll see stuff.   Sep 14, 2015

Blackened Thrash that gives out an Old School revival feeling. Sounds like a modernized Venom, and it's frankly really satisfying to listen to.   Sep 14, 2015

An atmosphere that corners you, and then slowly suffocates you in a dismal wall of sound. A morbid, divine, breathtaking experience.   Sep 13, 2015

I, finally, excavated a brilliant album from the unfathomable abyss of obscure metal bands without failure. What a gem. The amazing riffs reminded me of Sleep.   Sep 12, 2015

Great melodeath that desperately tries to be awful. For me, the clean vocals ruined the songs. Every time it switched between harsh and clean was just too awkward.   Sep 12, 2015

난 안 그럴려고 했는데, 드씨를 따라하는듯한 보컬과 작곡, 거기다가 진화론을 사기로 몰아가는 시궁창같은 가사는 제발 40점을 달라고 울부짖고 있다. 이것이 하나님의 힘인가?   Sep 12, 2015

+5 Points for Hell's Kitchen, now with zero percent of Labrie wankery.   Sep 12, 2015

Vocals that fit in somewhere between Demilich and Immolation, abysmally heavy songs plus amazing leads that sometimes even give a blues rock feeling. Was nothing alike what I had heard before.   Sep 12, 2015

Blaze Bayley ain't the greatest vocalist for Maiden. Still, they managed to pull out some good songs like Blood on the World's Hands(every bass player's must-learn) and The Unbeliever.   Sep 12, 2015

Meddlecore with tapping, beepy guitars that meddle the whole song. The melodic aspects as well as the timely breakdowns are things that stand out on this album.   Sep 12, 2015

So intense. Not your average buckshot-in-your-face Grindcore, but more like relentless nuclear warhead bombardment. Heavy artillery is what you want from Grindcore, I promise.   Sep 11, 2015

The slow but deathly approach is enough to crack open your pelvis and drain out your bone marrow.   Sep 10, 2015

Retro Heavy Metal, being as real as it gets. The melody lines are crafted very well, but aren't that much memorable.   Sep 10, 2015

Such an epic Doom Metal album. The riffs are almost too perfect to be a real one. I do have mixed feelings about the blatant upright cross on the album cover though. I mean, Candlemass aren't a Christian band and they only use the visuals, but still....   Sep 10, 2015

"Psychotic" is just the word for this album. Its brutal and intense sound runs for a full 1 hour and numbs your mind. (I prefer their second release, though.)   Sep 10, 2015

One of the first Atmospheric Black/Folk Metal albums I've listened to. It made a great impression on me, especially after I knew for the first time that Metal can give out such a hopeless feeling.   Sep 10, 2015

Agalloch is one of the few bands that uses cliché nature sounds to make amazing songs. The gloomy, barren and arid atmosphere leads the album into a dark and melancholic pit. Which is good.   Sep 10, 2015

Abominator(from Demilich) on backing vocals spices up the songs by a great degree. That plus Swedish(I know they're Finnish) buzzsaw-noise Death Metal? Ear candy if you ask me.   Sep 8, 2015

Full blown amazingness. It gives out a Trad Heavy Metal feeling but with a wicked touch, making the album a one-of-a-kind.   Sep 8, 2015

Labrie's voice sounds like a whining jilted teenage girl that posts selfies of her crying on facebook after getting dumped by her boyfriend.   Sep 7, 2015

Early day Meshuggah did more like convoluted Thrash Metal. This means their musical journey was just sprouting and showing its green leaves. Which soon went all yellow.   Sep 6, 2015

Very tractable but exquisite. So the songs soak in your head very nicely, still never losing its classy greatness. The album also presents a nice mix of jolly and melancholic songs.   Sep 6, 2015

Listened to this album only because there was Luc Lemay on guest vocals. Was impressed by the hideous intensity, especially on track no.8.   Sep 5, 2015

An album that has its roots deep inside the orthodox regions of Black Metal. Wasn't all that memorable but overall it pulled off a pretty interesting atmosphere with its unique wall-of-sound.   Sep 5, 2015

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

언제 들어도 좋은 심포닉 파워 메탈계의 명반   Mar 13, 2025

아무래도 이 1집에서는 많은 이들이 Sweet Child o' Mine을 꼽겠지만, 내게 있어서 이 앨범 최고의 곡은 절대적으로 Nightrain이다. 밴드의 정체성, 색깔, 연주력 등을 한 번에 대변해주는 곡이랄까. 심지어 가사까지 말이다. 같이 늙어간다는 말이 어울리겠지만, 그때의 열정 속에서 Nightrain을 외치고 연주를 하던 그들의 모습은 정말로 젊음의 영웅이자 양아치였다.   Mar 19, 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.   Mar 30, 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

Awesome album one of my favourite thrash albums.   Mar 30, 2025

모던 파워 메탈 특유의 대중지향적이고 댄서블한 면이 분명 있으나 선을 넘어버린 다른 밴드 만큼 과하지 않고 적당하다. 앨범 후반부가 좀 아쉽긴 하지만, 그래도 이들의 앨범 중에선 이 앨범이 가장 마음에 듦.   4 days ago

Wintersun combines about 10 different genres with great success on this album. A perfect album, in the top 20 of all time.   4 days ago

Like "Silence", only 1000 times better. The band's absolute best album. Not all the songs are masterpieces, but the best ones are incredible and the atmosphere of the album is epic.   Mar 11, 2025

그 나이에 이게 데뷔앨범 이라는게 믿기지 않는다...다만 이때 모든 힘을 쏟은 것일까...ㅠ   Mar 12, 2025

모든 사운드가 사악하다.   Mar 12, 2025

Probably Judas Priest's most commercially successful album, and it's extremely good. The song material is brilliant, and if we forget the existence of "Pain And Pleasure" and "Fever", it's perfect. The "Hellion/Electric Eye" duo is still one of the greatest opening tracks in metal history. The production is tuned to exactly the level that a band of this class should have. And then there's Rob Halford. Absolutely phenomenal, a top-3 Priest album for me.   Mar 13, 2025

이시기에 나온 데스메탈 앨범들을 생각해보면 이들은 진짜 못해도 혼자서 20년을 넘게 앞서갔다.   Mar 13, 2025

90-95 이미 3집부터 이들의 음악은 헤비하고 꽤 프로그레시브의 주제의식을 가진 앨범들로 발전해갔다. 앨범커버는 dc 코믹스와 마블에서 유명한 Ethan Van Sciver의 그림이라고 한다. 일본반은 2번의 어쿠스틱 버전이 더 들어가 있다. 윙어의 진가는 이미 전작부터 보여줬고 깊이 있는 음악을 보여주는 것이 딱 내가 원하는 그런 밴드이다.   Mar 13, 2025

슬로바키아의 세풀투라. 89점.   Mar 13, 2025

Rainbow leaves classic hard rock behind with their second album and begins to create the beginnings of the genre that would later be called power metal. The song material is practically perfect and the album features perhaps the strongest band line-up in history. The last two songs are pure masterpieces. If melodic old-school heavy metal with incredible vocal performances interests you, now you know where to look. Legendary!   Mar 15, 2025

Excellant Amorphis album.   Mar 15, 2025
