Do you like the 80's power metal? If you do, this album is for you. The fans of Sacred Outcry, Atlantean Kodex, or Iced Earth would love this album. Especially the vocal works on this album are amazing. The progressive variations embedded in some tracks are also remarkable, making smooth musical transitions between savagery and melancholy.   Jan 1, 2024

This album sounds like an authentically black-flavoured release trying to conjure bitter-tasted metal out of the band's musical magic spell. The cold and ritualistic atmosphere is my favourite part of this album. But, I do not think that this album has successfully fused industrial rock in the form of black metal. Therefore, musically deficient elements in structure are somewhat easy to find.   Dec 28, 2023

Recently finished listening to the band's latest release, Morbid Origin, which made me come back to this album again. It's the Norwegian quartet's best effort so far. Structure-wise, it's simple and straightforward but demonstrates the display of galloping speed metal in an exhilarating way. The band didn't do anything revolutionary in this album, but the legacy of the old thrashers like Sodom, Kreator and Venom was well restored with the fast-paced instrumental performance.   Dec 28, 2023

It is a promising debut release with Coroner-esque technicality. This album is evocative of good old thrash metallers in the 80's like Testament, Coroner and the early days of Megadeth. Especially the guitar works are fantastic, showing jazzy, proggy and speedy feelings brilliantly fused in this album. But it is a bit of a bummer in mixing and mastering qualities. Drum works also need to be improved for the next release.   Dec 28, 2023

It is a beautiful release with exquisite craftsmanship erupting the hallucination of progness. This album literally shows the definition of musical progress by boasting easy-to-grasp melodies and well-trimmed musicianship in the realm of instrumental performance and musical structure.   Dec 27, 2023

I would say it is not a bad album when it comes to melody-crafting capability, but it is another indistinctive cookie-cutter release you would easily find in the same genre category. Speaking of the overall quality, it is definitely an unsatisfactory work. The Dutch syndicate should have been way better on this album, considering it is a long-awaited album since their debut release.   Dec 27, 2023

It is the most hilarious metal album I have ever listened to. Especially the track no. 7 and 11 make me fall in love with old pop music. This album is the perfect renditions of elapsed pop songs in a blackened way.   Dec 18, 2023

This is a sheer death metal opus with a blackened musical theme. Each track is composed of a straightforward musical structure with savage riffs pounding relentlessly. The only downside is the length of some tracks. Those are a bit short (some may say well-trimmed) to perfectly convey the attractiveness of orthodox death metal and the awesomeness of musicianship that Gorhoth can offer. Overall, it is a fantastic death metal release with a pure blackened originality.   Nov 17, 2023

This album is in line with the band's previous effort, Blight Upon Martyred Sentience. It still sounds as cavernous as its predecessor. The psychedelic touches embedded sporadically throughout the entire album are really enjoyable. If you were happy with their previous releases, you would have no problem falling in love with this album.   Oct 18, 2023

It's a good album with a quality production, considering the instrumental technicality that it offers. Probably it would be only me who thinks that vocals sound a bit muffled in some tracks. It is also a bit shame that the entire album is not that impressive when it comes to songwriting which lacks a bit of originality. Nonetheless, I cannot deny that it is a good technical death release.   Oct 18, 2023

It is a fantastic avant-garde black metal album that has become a new musical benchmark in DHG's career. DHG successfully bounced back from their previous effort which fell short of expectations. DHG's sophisticated touch on songwriting is admirable. all the songs are well-composed on a microscopic level. There is nothing to complain about in all musical aspects because this album is a fascinating opus by the masters.   Oct 16, 2023

NPT's full-length debut sounds like a lazy byproduct of their ingenious first EP. This album deserves to be labelled as a good instrumental album because the unison play between the band members in particular is marvellous. But the overall quality fails to be near what I expected from them.   Oct 15, 2023

It is good to see KK enjoy his green old age by releasing his sophomore effort with Tim Ripper Owens. KK's land-haired perspiration for heavy metal is admirable. But that is all. There is nothing to compliment in this album, to be honest. I was surprised that the overall quality of this album was exacerbated compared to the band's first album which was not an impressive work either.   Oct 5, 2023

I know nothing about the band's musical past. So, it would be unfair if I say something unfavourable about their music. But the overall quality of this release is as atrocious as its cover.   Jul 23, 2023

This is the debut album of the Welsh atmospheric black metal outfit, which made me have high hopes for a quality metal release after watching the official video of 'Grains of Sand' in June. Unfortunately, the rest of the album is a bit of a disappointment. The remaining tracks have the shortcomings that new bands in the scene usually have in the nascence of their career: obscurity. In other words, the flattened structure without depth in sound.   Jul 23, 2023

This is a genre-defying album. Screamo, punk rock, metalcore, mathcore, and progressive metal are successfully combined in a good musical form in general. But the formula to blend those varied musical elements is not working seamlessly in some tracks. Structure-wise, it is moderately intricate. But, there is no outstanding moment that portrays the musical coherence using adequate intricacy in structure. Nevertheless, this album is a good and sophisticated musical melange.   Jul 18, 2023

The musical infusion of Entombed A.D. has been found in this release due to Guilherme Miranda. So, this album shares the same sound characteristic as the albums of Entombed A.D. It was a mundane task to analyse the structure of this album because there is no freshness to spot on. This album will be a huge disappointment if a Megadeth-like musical style is expected because of the existence of David Ellefson.   Jul 17, 2023

If a band had a successful career with its own musical style in the past, the drastic change in style would be hardly accepted by those who love the band's past. The musical formula that led the band to success is rarely found in this release. This album is full of a banquet of musical mismatches in a dumbfounded way.   Jul 17, 2023

It is a compositionally intricate album. It does not have any problems at all when it comes to the quality of instrumentation and production. But the dissonant nature of the structure is not harmoniously interwoven with other musical elements, resulting in the failure to reach the full fruition of mixing black and death metal. Succinctly speaking, it is just a normal death metal release.   Jul 17, 2023

It is a guitar-led glam metal album which I cannot say is enjoyable to listen to. All the band members are competent on their instruments. It would be unfair to say it is a bad album. But there are no noticeable or memorable musical moments, which makes this album below average.   Jul 17, 2023

I have never been satisfied with the works of Tim 'Ripper' Owens since he left Judas Priest . Vocal performance-wise, he has always been outstanding, but he has always failed to establish his musical legacy. This album would be just a normal heavy metal release if his name value was not taken into account. But I have to point out that he failed again to fulfil the expectations of those who have high hopes for him.   Jul 15, 2023

Judas Priest is not the first heavy metal band in the world, but JP is the band that newly re-defined the etymology of heavy metal by riding on the wave of NWOBHM. Since Rob Halford left the band to pursue his solo career, JP had disappointed their fans with unsatisfactory works. But this album was a remarkable comeback with the quality that old JP fans had been eager to look for. The only drawback I noticed was the degradation of Rob's vocal ability.   Jul 13, 2023

This album has failed to successfully deliver a tasteful blend of prog and groove metal. You may find some good musical moments in 'Nebulamorphous' and 'A Soliloquy'. But the rest of the tracks end up failing to add up an extra dosage of adrenaline to those who seek a chance to fulfil their head-banging desire.   Jul 8, 2023

It is a straightforward-sounding album, reminding me of Bolt Thrower to a certain extent. Especially the opener, 'Archaic Magick', is a good track to initiate a doomed journey. But the rest of the tracks are not as appealing as the opener, diminishing the musical spell of this album.   Jul 7, 2023

This album is a huge degradation in quality when compared to their debut album. Comparing the band's debut, the vibe of this album has been flattened due to the homogenised guitar works. The rest of the features are not memorable either. It is very tough for me to pick a single feature that is not bad about this album.   Jul 7, 2023

This album is an epitome of a disastrous metal album. I cannot even imagine that I discuss the sound and structure of this album, because everybody who may listen to this would perceive that this album is not worthy enough of paying attention to intuitively.   Jul 7, 2023

It is a good prog instrumental release by a German trio. The tone of the lead guitar works reminds me of Joe Satriani, but the influence of Steve Vai has also been spotted in terms of sound due to the catchy and easy-to-grasp melodies. The rhythm section also sounds tight and punchy backed by a solid song-writing. All in all, this album would be appreciated by those who love the music based on technical instrumentation with a light metal vibe.   Jul 6, 2023

The album's title says it all: It gives you psychological spasms in your brain through cacophony. The unpredictability in structure is the most stood-out feature for those who love dissonance. But it is a bummer that the dissonant features are not well-organised, resulting in the over-messiness in sound and structure.   Jul 6, 2023

It is the album that classic death metallers would appreciate. The riffs in some tracks like 'Eternal Horror' are so dense and well-organised, delivering skull-crushing power with massive double-bass drums to listeners. On the other hand, the catchy and groovy riffs are the most stood-out feature in some tracks like ‘Full of Hate’. All in all, this album is a good death metal release that deserves your attention.   Jul 4, 2023

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.   5 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
