Once Was Not
preview  Cryptopsy preview  Once Was Not (2005)
level 9 Kildneybean   90/100
The old Cryptopsy ain't turning back even with Lord Worm on vocals, but it sure is an amazing turn of style for the band. Flo is still smashing those drums, the songs are technical as heck, and it was just an amazing listening experience.   Jun 25, 2015
Transcendence
preview  Crimson Glory preview  Transcendence (1988)
level 9 Kildneybean   90/100
A very well made Progressive Power/Heavy metal release. Incorporating sharp metal music with really high vocals reminicent of Rush or Watchtower, this album shows the full potential of Crimson Glory.   Jun 25, 2015

Faustian Echoes
preview  Agalloch preview  Faustian Echoes (2012)  [EP]
level 9 Kildneybean   85/100
A lot like their previous work, this EP release ascertains once again that atmospheric black metal legends Agalloch can make intense, shrill music rooted in such a gloomy atmosphere.   Jun 24, 2015
M-16
preview  Sodom preview  M-16 (2001)
level 9 Kildneybean   95/100
Music from 2001 that sounds like music from Thrash's golden era, the '80s. This means that Sodom's still doing their really-heavy-riff-oriented thrash style and killing it. Their thrash cover of the old surf rock song is worth listening to, so be sure to pick this one up!   Jun 24, 2015
Get What You Deserve
preview  Sodom preview  Get What You Deserve (1994)
level 9 Kildneybean   90/100
Wanna know what punk-influenced German Thrash sounds like? With 100% more Sodom? Spoiler alert: it's pretty damn good. EAT ME!   Jun 24, 2015

Better Off Dead
preview  Sodom preview  Better Off Dead (1990)
level 9 Kildneybean   90/100
Woo! This album is really cool. It shows a pertinent mixture of riffs, speed, and thrashing moments. (It's a bit funny that this relatively "fun" album fits between Teutonic Thrash's two most brutal releases.) The Thin Lizzy cover's done very well too. Love it!   Jun 24, 2015

Sol Invictus
preview  Faith No More preview  Sol Invictus (2015)
level 9 Kildneybean   90/100
Sol Invictus is a very solid release, and also a nice hiatus-ending album from the alternative metal giants Faith No More. Contains awesome songs just like any other FNM album. It really fits right after Album Of The Year, as if nothing has happened regarding their style of music for the last 18 years.   Jun 24, 2015
Still Life
preview  Opeth preview  Still Life (1999)
level 9 Kildneybean   80/100
Feels pretty bland for a progressive metal album. As if there is only one atmosphere taking hold of the whole album. Other than that, it's quite a well-made album.   Jun 24, 2015
The Anatomy Of
level 9 Kildneybean   80/100
It's quite the list they've got there. They absolutely killed some songs, but some songs they kinda failed. Overall it's a listenable cover album.   Jun 24, 2015
Periphery II: This Time It's Personal
level 9 Kildneybean   75/100
Those who dislike clean vocals and Djent: keep away from this album.   Jun 24, 2015
Passage Through Purgatory
level 9 Kildneybean   85/100
Awesome songs conveyed through a sludgy, sticky guitar tone. Being quite proggy, it's sounds a lot like Baroness.   Jun 24, 2015
At War with Reality
level 9 Kildneybean   95/100
I consider this a successful attempt at reincarnating the band. Listening to this album I thought, "man, these swedes really are capable of writing godly riffs!". On a side-note, the artwork inside the booklet was kinda cool too.   Jun 23, 2015
Whisper Supremacy
preview  Cryptopsy preview  Whisper Supremacy (1998)
level 9 Kildneybean   90/100
This album is still brutal and violent as the previous ones, though it reaches out with a different kind of brutality. Overall it's a nooice turn of style for the band, and it proves Mike DiSalvo era Cryptopsy was perfectly fine.   Jun 23, 2015

Operation: Mindcrime
level 9 Kildneybean   90/100
We should all admit, the term "progressive" is pretty generic. Every so-called prog bands have their own color and taste. Queensrÿche were considered unique when they emerged. However, the band germinated way too many look-alike "prog" bands(DT, anyone?) and soon they weren't that noticable. This is a good album, and it even was an original one back then. It just was too influential.   Jun 23, 2015
Scum
preview  Napalm Death preview  Scum (1987)
level 9 Kildneybean   80/100
I certainly wouldn't label this as a quote-unquote "humble" start(ha, that was redundant!), because they made pretty good stuff even when they were starters. What's better is they garner skill through time, and the next few releases showcase their full abilities.   Jun 23, 2015
Wheels of Fire
preview  Cream preview  Wheels of Fire (1968)
level 9 Kildneybean   100/100
The genre of hard rock was full-blown from its start, especially with this album's release. All in all it's a must-listen.   Jun 23, 2015
Heartwork
preview  Carcass preview  Heartwork (1993)
level 9 Kildneybean   100/100
One of the best Melodeath releases from the UK. Bombards your ears with awesome, melodic riffs but it still maintains its death metal rooted intensity.   Jun 23, 2015

British Steel
preview  Judas Priest preview  British Steel (1980)

I don't give this album a spin very often, but i's an undisputable fact that it's great. One of the classics from the heavy metal spectrum.   Jun 22, 2015
Whoracle
preview  In Flames preview  Whoracle (1997)
level 9 Kildneybean   85/100
The melody is pretty dank in this one. A bit less intense for a Melodic "Death Metal" release, but still kinda good.   Jun 21, 2015
The Jester Race
preview  In Flames preview  The Jester Race (1996)
level 9 Kildneybean   80/100
Melodic death metal, gone too melodic. The melody is pretty good. However, if the song relies on the melodic flow, its death metal aspect dwindles. Which is exactly what happened here. It makes great bigginer metal, but isn't my cup of tea.   Jun 21, 2015

Terrible Certainty
preview  Kreator preview  Terrible Certainty (1987)
level 9 Kildneybean   95/100
Full of speed and violence, Kreator's third effort, Terrible Certainty, certainly is brilliant. The 80s German metal scene has a lot to offer.   Jun 21, 2015
Slaughter of the Soul
level 9 Kildneybean   95/100
I consider this the best Melodic Death Metal album of all time. Just listen to the riffs. The album loses a bit of intensity at track 5(hence -5 points), but every other song is freaking awesome.   Jun 21, 2015

Terminal Spirit Disease
level 9 Kildneybean   95/100
Frankly I skip the third song whenever I give this album a spin, but other than that every single song's perfect. The melodic riffs, vocals full of angst, timely solos, and for a final touch some live recordings of ATG's absolute classics.   Jun 21, 2015
The Red in the Sky Is Ours
level 9 Kildneybean   95/100
This album is pretty freaking dope. The songs are quite unorthodox so it sort of grows on you. Overall it's one of the best DM albums the swedish scene has to offer, along with albums like Left Hand Path.   Jun 21, 2015

After a long hiatus, These Techdeath giants have finally returned with a great release! Continuing their style of the 90s, This album proves that Gorguts are still alive&strong. A pretty nice addition to their discography.   Jun 18, 2015
Destroy the Machines
level 9 Kildneybean   85/100
A pretty nice listen. This album is said to have set the basis of Metalcore, which soon became a prolific subgenre. Some say the best metalcore releases are the early ones. I kinda think that's a valid statement.   Jun 18, 2015
Red Album
preview  Baroness preview  Red Album (2007)
level 9 Kildneybean   90/100
A very well-made sludge album with a bit of progressiveness. Listening to how each song develops through time was a really interesting experience.   Jun 17, 2015
Rising Force
level 9 Kildneybean   100/100
Yngwie may not get good points personality-wise, but we should all admit that his guitar techniques cannot be overrated. Not only that, but the awesome guitar riffs and melodies this guy comes up with is close to perfection.   Jun 16, 2015

level 13 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

Handle With Care
level 15 metalnrock   85/100
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

level 10 sierrahotel   80/100
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

Nightfall in Middle-Earth
level 15 metalnrock   95/100
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

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

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

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
