A crazy well made Blackened Thrash record! I love the guitar tone that ranges from crispy Black Metal to full thrashiness, along with the great vocals.   Jul 23, 2015

One of their average works before Jamsie Poo Poo's food poisoning, which I liked because that means less of that annoying fingernails-on-a-chalkboard squealy high vocals. Surprisingly there was less usage of those abominations, so that was good. The title song accounts for 70 points and the cover songs account for 80, so i guessed 75 was a good point to round it up.   Jul 23, 2015

Seriously the shittiest sound you can come up with. Want a good laugh? Try this one out.   Jul 23, 2015

Super high vocals are great when they're poingnant and sharp(King Diamond, Geddy Lee, Geoff Tate, and that guy from 3 inches of blood) as opposed to Labrie-style soft&high vocals which I hate with a passion. And I must say, King Diamond's asinine vocals seem like just the right vocals for this wonderful album about the tale of Abigail. The guitarwork's really cool and pertinent too.   Jul 22, 2015

All the juices: officially removed. Queensrÿche had something substantial going on with the album Operation: Mindcrime. The songs were mostly in-your-face heavy, had strong vocals and were overall very powerful. Now, with Empire, it seems like Queensrÿche wanted some money. They've got them dollar bills by appealing to a broader audience, but heaviness lovers like me abhor their decision.   Jul 22, 2015

I, uh, don't know. I'm not sure about this album. Kreator kinda made a weird turn and came up with this one with a strange looking mantis as the cover model. So, what makes it so weird? It's just so different from what they had done. It doesn't even feel like a ramification. They've planted a new tree. The songs aren't that bad but are far from Kreator's best.   Jul 22, 2015

The last album before their sudden turn of style(which virtually every '80s Thrash band had undergone). And it was amazing! Surely there must be that one weak track, right? Spoiler alert: there isn't! Every song has its own distinctive thrashy values and riffwork and intermittent solos and vocals and lyrics and blahblahblah. One of their best work.   Jul 22, 2015

This is freaking good! I can't communicate the joviality of discovering this great record through an album comment, but this sure is a magnificent one. The crunchy drum sounds and deeply thought-out riffage layouts make the album a rare gem. Awesome!   Jul 22, 2015

Matt Pike, you da best! This band, High On Fire, straight on kills everyone with their bombardment of crazy good riffs presented in a heavy stoner-doom-sludgy fashion. In short: need some good Stoner? Pick this one up.   Jul 22, 2015

Wow, this album is eerie. Not the bad kind of eerieness, though, since Buzz Osbourne does a perfect job on stripping Doom and Stoner Metal to their mere structure, without all the ornamental and superfluous bits. Have my explanation satiated your desire for a description? No? Then I guess you'll have to listen it for yourself!   Jul 22, 2015

Good ol' Heavy Metal. The real stuff. Blackie Lawless was full blown from the very first album. W.A.S.P.'s music is generally really catchy and full of great riffs and vocal parts. This statement perfectly describes their eponymous first album, too.   Jul 22, 2015

This is really your standard '80s Speed Metal stuff. It has everything a decent Speed Metal record needs; pertinent riffs, which go along with persistent drumming and some bass that sometimes unveils itself by tearing through the recticulm of heavy guitars, and nice vocals over that.   Jul 22, 2015

Awww yeah, a very solid Mathcore release! Other than the last track which is sort of dull, the album flows like a flooded river, being all psychotic and crazy.   Jul 22, 2015

Very generic but also fantastic Brutal Death/Slam album. It's basically a regurgitation of what Devourment did for the last decade, but it's nonetheless really good to hear. The songs are all really heavy and does a beating to your skull.   Jul 21, 2015

Yeah well, Mathcore done by Converge is always full on amazing. Needless to say, No Heroes is just as crushing and full of energy as John Doe or You Fail Me. This is an album worth a lot of listens.   Jul 21, 2015

This is fking amazing!! The fact that there is an album this good released in 2015 is kinda baffling. So brutal and fun. I liked the creative, sporadic usage of double layered vocals a lot.   Jul 21, 2015

I haven't memorized the song order yet, but man this is a superb record. It's just so much fun to listen to, and it has lots of exciting moments where you can't but hearken to the song.   Jul 21, 2015

A darn amazing Grindcore record which makes a relentless, crushing 37 min experience. Scott Hull really likes the usage of spoken tracks inbewteen the grindcore tracks.   Jul 21, 2015

I love the crispy Black Metal sound that's sometimes even punkish. This phase of Darkthrone is something that I really like. Rust and Striving For A Piece Of Lucifer are really good tracks.   Jul 21, 2015

The very rudiments of Black Metal were set by three successive albums by Darkthrone, and this marks the last. A more straightforward, raw approach to their music is noticeable. // alright, you know what? I'm re rating this album up 15 points. This shit's amazing.   Jul 21, 2015

This album's amazing! To fully feel and enjoy this album you should blank out your mind, sit alone in a quiet place, put this album on and just shut up and listen. Only after you pay full attention can you understand what the album offers you.   Jul 21, 2015

This 3 track long EP clocks in at around 28 minutes and without the live Celtic Frost songs around 17 minutes. However, Tom manages to give the listeners a full on view of what Triptykon is going for. Pretty good work.   Jul 21, 2015

Kick ass doom stuff. After his departure from Celtic Frost, Tom G. Warrior set up a band whose goal was to continue the style of Monotheist, which was a very successful album. I must say, he did a perfect job on that mission. The music is generally very downtuned and doomy but sometimes excitingly beats on the drum too.   Jul 21, 2015

This album presents so many genres under the name Progressive Sludge Metal. Actually, the The Ocean guys do that all the time. So much versatility, so much fun.   Jul 20, 2015

Woo-hoo! For Labrie vocal haters like me, this album, which has reduced the usage of Labrie's stupidly high & soft-ass vocals is one of the listenable albums by DT. I don't get how this is "Metal", but still, the album shows pretty decent instumental work.   Jul 20, 2015

A Drone Metal masterpiece. There are droning, ridiculously heavy brain numbing tunes atop another atop another, and it's like getting your brain mashed. Amazing.   Jul 20, 2015

The usage of super high but poignant vocals, along with the traditional metal style song approach is darn amazing. The first few tracks are the killer ones, but the songs may sound a bit same as the album progresses towards its end.   Jul 20, 2015

Old Death revival done right! It sounds just like Leprosy-era Death. The vocals sound just like Chuck too! Heck, even the album cover kinda has the same feeling. The songs aren't Leprosy tier good, but if you dig thrashy OSDM than you'll definitely enjoy this bad boy.   Jul 19, 2015

Great work! The cover artwork is very reminisent of Black Sabbath's Master Of Reality. It has two songs; the first one is just your average Electric Wizard song; Jus' vocals over heavy doom music. Then the second song Murder and Madness is kinda, well, unorthodox. The unusual riffs over surprisingly speedy drumming makes it a unique song. Very enjoyable!   Jul 19, 2015

죽어버린 남자다움에 오함마로 심폐소생을 시키는 앨범. 멈췄던 심장이 그들의 리프와 드럼을 따라 다시 뛰기 시작한다.   Nov 1, 2024

스래쉬 음반을 언급할 때 항상 다섯 손가락 안에 꼽는 앨범...모든 곡이 베스트일 정도로 완벽하다. 개인적으로 Stronger Than Hate을 가장 좋아한다.   Nov 6, 2024

85-90, 예전에 빽판으로 즐기던 음반. 운이 좋게 다시 시디로 구입하게 들어보게 되었다. 지금 이 시점에서는 좋게 들렸고 시원시원했다. 녹음은 거칠긴 하나 가끔 너무 갑갑한 믹싱이 되어 있는 메탈음반이 많은데 차라리 이런 식으로 만드는게 낫다 싶다. 1,2집도 언제인가는 구해지지 않을까 생각해본다.   Oct 30, 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

90-95. 이 시기의 블가 앨범들은 다 좋은 듯. hansi의 보컬을 더 느끼고 싶어서 사모으기 시작한 앨범인데 그렇다고 나랑 맞는 음악을 하는 밴드가 아닐 수 있었지만 지금까지 몇번들어본 결과는 만족스러운 행진 중이다. the eldar같은 곡은 지금의 나에게는 최고의 곡. 인트로+본곡 같은 스타일로 중복이 되는데 큰 단점같지는 않다. 조화롭게 잘 넘어갔다.   Nov 8, 2024

95-100 2024년까지 나온 오케스트라와의 협연 음반 모든 것을 통틀어 최고다. 다 어설픈 편곡때문에 그냥 원곡 듣고 말지 라는 생각이 드는 반면 이 음반은 최소 제대로 만들어진 영화음악 하나 들었다 할 정도로 편곡자체가 매우 잘 되어 밴드와 오케스트라가 제대로 융화 예상과 달리 스튜디오로 앨범을 냈지만 dvd 2disc를 사면 라이브 시디가 포함되어 있는 듯 하다.   3 days ago

85- 90 채스틴의 기타가 바삐 움직인다. 당시의 다른 기타리스트와는 다른 맛이 있다. 레더 레온은 참 좋은 보컬같다라고 생각을 또 하게 되었다.   Oct 27, 2024

라센은 일본 빅터에서 받아 동일하게 12번 "Rainy Nights"이 더 들어가 있다. 앙그라 초기는 의외로 많이 듣지 않아 생각보다 익숙하지 않은 면이 있다. 현재는 이 정도 점수를 주고 다음에 또 감상하면서 고쳐보도록 하겠다   Oct 28, 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

옛 모습이 그립다. 그래도 화이팅!   Nov 1, 2024

조금도 기대안했었는데….훌륭합니다!!   Nov 1, 2024

온갖 괴생물체들이 꿈틀거리는듯한 아트워크의 세계관이 펼쳐지며..끈적이는 불협화음 데스 사운드에 빨려든다.   Nov 6, 2024

The album finds Blood Incantation returning to their death metal roots with renewed psychedelic vigour, eager to tear apart familiar metallic ideas   Nov 6, 2024

80-90. 메킹 커멘트를 보고 얼라이브를 베스트 대용으로 해도 된다는 의견에 2,3를 사게 되었는데 1,3에만 rock and roll all nite가 있다는 것을 다시 여기서도 알립니다. 이번에 사게된 앨범이 일본반 shm-cd 규격인데 음질이 나쁜게 아니지만 2보다는 살짝 거친게 아닌가 싶다. 아직까지는 얼라이브 시리즈+일반 스튜디오 베스트 조합으로 끝낼 생각.   Nov 6, 2024

85-90 기본적으로 2010년 이후 이들의 앨범이 특별히 구리다고 생각이 든 적이 없다. 이번 앨범은 기다려도 라센이 안나와서 결국 수입반을 샀다. 전체적인 곡 수준, 연주 수준 모든게 긍정적 방향이다.   Nov 6, 2024

85-95. 5번은 후기 대표곡. 커버한 밴드가 sodom , megadeth, helloween, Jorn 등이 있다. 필 라이엇이 안죽었다면 사이크스가 백사로 과연 넘어갔을까 하는 생각과 씬 리지가 꽤나 터프한 느낌도 갖게 되는 과정이었는데 이 미래가 재미있었겠다 라는 생각이 드는 앨범.   Nov 6, 2024

Very good work on guitars,a tight rhythm sectionand lots of keyboards effects the way only FATES WARNING teached to play !   Nov 7, 2024

훌륭한 데뷰. 1집을 꼭 사야 할까라는 생각으로 살다가 이제야 얻어걸린 느낌으로 사게 되었다. 물론 1집을 필수라고 여기지 않았지만 후회도 없다. 보컬이 멤버들보다 나이가 10여살 많은 걸로 기억하고 게디리의 좀 더 듣기 좋은 버전이라고 생각이 든다. 다만 믹싱이 마음에 들지 않아서 살짝 밋밋하다. 보컬과 드럼이 살짝 뒤로 간 느낌.리믹스가 절실하나 과연?   Nov 7, 2024
