Ten Thousand Fists
preview  Disturbed preview  Ten Thousand Fists (2005)
level 9 Kildneybean   80/100
Well suited for an introductory album to Heavy Metal. Indestructible was more tantalizing for me, but still this album has some pretty catchy stuff.   Sep 5, 2015

Archaeaeon
preview  Mitochondrion preview  Archaeaeon (2008)
level 9 Kildneybean   70/100
Average Death Metal work, gleaming with potential. They really need to cut off the time, because listening to the elongated songs for a full hour was a bit painful. Plus the last track was pure cacophony.   Sep 4, 2015
The Four Instructive Tales... of Decomposition
level 9 Kildneybean   95/100
These Demilich guys were definitely solid from the start. Being the only Demo release that doesn't have songs from Nespithe, I decided to give this a listen, and was blown away. Just like I was reviving the moment I first heard Nespithe. And, once again, the vocals totally rule.   Sep 4, 2015
At the Heart of Winter
level 9 Kildneybean   95/100
This album is one of the few Black Metal records I can listen through with full attention. Horns up for Trve Black Metal!! \m/   Sep 4, 2015
Shark Attack
preview  Wehrmacht preview  Shark Attack (1987)
level 9 Kildneybean   75/100
Very raw and unrefined Crossover Thrash Metal. Raw and unrefined also means that the music isn't that well-structured, per se, compared to other Crossover masterpieces like Speak English or Die(which personally I prefer).   Sep 4, 2015
Inminente Aniquilación
level 9 Kildneybean   90/100
Cool-ass Thrash Metal filled with aggression from bottom to top. The few Spanish dialogues I can speak include "Yo no hablo español" so I couldn't understand a darn word they were saying but the music sure was amazing. The vocals I liked too.   Sep 4, 2015
Fragments of Form and Function
level 9 Kildneybean   75/100
I found this album out a while ago, when I was just starting to get into Metal. I was reading a bunch of Melodeath recommendation lists, and decided to pick this one up. I was surprised of how bland it sounded while being so good at the same time. Kinda weird how that happens, isn't it?   Sep 3, 2015
Elements of the Infinite
level 9 Kildneybean   75/100
Pretty good, but it sounded like they were trying to be as mediocre as they could. So essentially they put these good riffs, and made it sound like a song from any other technical melodeath band. No creativity present, unfortunately.   Sep 3, 2015
Omega Arcane
preview  Shade Empire preview  Omega Arcane (2013)
level 9 Kildneybean   75/100
A great example that shows how even the greatest Death Metal music and orchestrations don't mix. Very lengthy also, and can be jejune after listening a while.   Sep 3, 2015

Nocturnus

Duuude. Seriously? This should've been a full release. Wirtten in this style and manner, a forty minute LP can't be un-amazing, right?   Sep 2, 2015
Thresholds
preview  Nocturnus preview  Thresholds (1992)
level 9 Kildneybean   90/100
Pungent glorious riffages tangled up with Tech Death mastery. I'm just gonna reiterate what I just said; the thrashing riffs are amazing.   Sep 2, 2015
No Prayer for the Dying
level 9 Kildneybean   85/100
A bit weaker than their streak of amazing releases. Still, these guys are Iron Maiden. This means there still are a bunch of catchy tunes and sing along choruses for your pleasure.   Sep 2, 2015

Consume the Forsaken
level 9 Kildneybean   90/100
A no-brainer Brutal Death Metal album. That means, there'll be no elegant song layouts and complex time signature shifts; just skull crushing brutality for 30 minutes.   Sep 2, 2015
Tales of Creation
preview  Candlemass preview  Tales of Creation (1989)
level 9 Kildneybean   90/100
I don't know about y'all, but man I sure love myself some good ol' Doom Metal music. Now Candlemass' fourth album, Tales of Creation, did just the trick cause it fit in both the categories. Old, yeah sure, but good also. Just give a listen to the stunning riffs they procure your ears.   Sep 2, 2015

The Book
preview  Root preview  The Book (1999)
level 9 Kildneybean   90/100
The Book : a blackened Heavy Metal album but not quite. Actually, there is much more than that latent on this amazing piece of work. The creativity present is amazing; the riffs and vocalwork are all too creative to the point where you'll feel you'd had enough of 'em for the day.   Sep 2, 2015
The Spectre Within
level 9 Kildneybean   90/100
Breathtaking Progressive Metal at its very finest. They do such elegant work, it feels like their songs are polished and honed so well you can get a glimpse of the essence of what the band wanted to achieve.   Sep 1, 2015
Tenebrous Apparitions
preview  Cenotaph preview  Tenebrous Apparitions (1990)  [EP]
level 9 Kildneybean   90/100
Now this, is some cool Old School style Death Metal here. Progressing slow but in a disgustingly brutal fashion, Cenotaph delivers some amazing work you won't see in other bands. Worth multiple listens.   Sep 1, 2015
In Their Darkened Shrines
level 9 Kildneybean   90/100
Breathtaking Brutal Death Metal work. Being very deep and profound, it entices you to walk through a dark corridor somewhere deep down the Pharaoh's tomb.   Aug 30, 2015
Killers
preview  Iron Maiden preview  Killers (1981)
level 9 Kildneybean   90/100
Simply a killer album. See the bloody hatchet on Eddie's hand? That's not there to kill you, because the songs do it for him. Then why is it there? This logical gap is the only flaw on this album.   Aug 30, 2015

The Divine Wings of Tragedy

Even the inanimate lady on the album cover is paying attention to the majestic songs by the Prog Metal masterminds Symphony X. And boy do they do it right. Even the 20-minute-long Divine Wings of Tragedy pins down your ears.   Aug 29, 2015

Unnatural Selection

level 9 Kildneybean   90/100
These skilled riffwriters are at it once again, this time with a more "controlled aggression", so to speak. And it's such an amazing album.   Aug 29, 2015
The Destroyers of All
level 9 Kildneybean   85/100
Like other albums that fall in the category of "weird" Technical Death Metal, this album takes some time to get used to. The unique chord progression used on a frequent basis guides the whole album through a maelstrom of insanity.   Aug 29, 2015
Musta Seremonia
preview  Rippikoulu preview  Musta Seremonia (1993)  [Demo]
level 9 Kildneybean   85/100
A damn straight Finnish Doom/Death album. Succinctly put, the feeling they pull off smothers you.   Aug 28, 2015
Darkness Walks Besides Me
level 9 Kildneybean   85/100
A Song For Black Sun Aeon's nice Death/Doom record. A Song For feels really modern; feels like a mashup of non heavy Opeth with Traditional Doom Metal work.   Aug 27, 2015
Labyrinth Constellation
level 9 Kildneybean   90/100
Technical and quasi-experimental Death Metal work that sounds similar to Gorguts and Ulcerate. Gorguts lovers like me dig this album.   Aug 27, 2015
Scent of a Dream
preview  Thurisaz preview  Scent of a Dream (2004)

An above average Atomspheric Black Metal work. For unexperienced listeners like me this album requires some extra attention and patience.   Aug 27, 2015
Crimson Glory

level 9 Kildneybean   90/100
Early Heavy Metal phase Crimson Glory, before they went Proggy and stuff. That's why this album feels like a distilled rendition of Transcendence. And why it's so good,   Aug 27, 2015

헬로윈 감마레이로 입문한 저로썬 메탈 장르에 뜸해질때가 많았는데, 간만에 이런 엘범을 처음부터 끝까지 들으니 감회가 새롭습니다. 멜로디면 멜로디 구성이면 구성 정신없이 40분여가량이 순삭되는 경험을 했습니다. 파워메탈 장르가 이렇게 잘 살아있구나 하는 감동 받았습니다.. 메탈이 생소한 아내도 좋아하고 자주 듣네요 ㅎ   Mar 13, 2025

Appetite for Destruction
level 20 똘복이   90/100
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

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

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

Screaming for Vengeance
level 2 TELIA   90/100
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

level 16 metalnrock   95/100
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

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
