After listening to that 23-minute-long tirade, I have realised that there is a lot more uncharted, unrelenting, disordered and chaotic territory in extreme metal waiting to be explored. If you are the type of metaller who enjoys listening to something intense, defiant and hostile atmosphere formed in an unordered musical structure, this album is for you.   Jun 13, 2023

It is a very easy-listening blackened death metal album which can easily appeal to anyone who is not interested in the labyrinthine layered musical structure and favours intuitive and simple-sounding metal. To put it in a scathing-criticism way, this release is scentless and characterless in songwriting. Hence lacking originality is the main problem even though the band seemed trying hard to develop a mystic theme musically as the titles of the tracks say.   Jun 13, 2023

It is a fairly ambitious album. The vast majority of the tracks in this album are heavy and vicious as hell. The problem is some tracks have some minor issues: Those tracks have musical moments that do not suit the soundscape of the album. But the blast-speed drum beats and the thrash metal-inspired guitar works are complementing the drawbacks. To conclude, it is a good old-school death metal release.   Jun 12, 2023

I have mixed feeling over this release. On one hand, I love the weird, chaotic and unhinged soundscapes of this album, resulting in disturbingly layered musical patterns. On the other hand, there are no coherent features at all in both sound and structure, generating warped dynamics that make the overall sound unsettling. It is a good album in general, but Teitan's musical approach needs to be eclectic. I hope Teitan's next effort will be more refined than this release.   Jun 12, 2023

The main musical structure of this album was developed by the proggy mix of shoegaze and post-metal in a blackened death metal way. It does sound like a brilliant formula to make a good-tasting cocktail. Unfortunately, the band's formula does not fit in making a tasty cocktail in my opinion. Some tracks have heavenly moments, but, overall, it is lacking in consistency and originality in both sound and structure.   Jun 12, 2023

It is a death metal classic of Earache Records and my all-time favourite death metal album. I can condense the quality of this album into a single sentence: it is considered one of the most influential albums in the entire death metal scene.   Jun 11, 2023

It's the Byzantine's best work so far. The subsequent release failed to retain the brilliant metal formula that the band developed in this album. It's full of bangers which were crafted by citing the good features of Pantera mainly and some thrash metal bands. They didn't just copy those features, but successfully made variations out of them. The band's melody-making capability is one more thing to be appreciated. To conclude, it's a good album that deserves more attention.   Jun 11, 2023

The first full-length debut album by the quintet from Belgium shows a world of potential in both songwriting and performance. But, it seems like they do not know how to swing their swords yet. The ferocious vocals and the gloomy texture of the guitar sound should be heartily applauded, offering the highly tined vulgarity through a doom vibe. But the entire album sounds so flat in structure. Overall, this album makes me have high hopes for the band's next step.   Jun 11, 2023

It is a disappointing release that has failed to capture the good features of atmospheric black metal. Omega Infinity's approach to utilising black metal elements to develop a quaint ambience with icy soundscapes and cold industrial noise seems just fine, but those efforts have devastated the ablaze vitality that death metal can offer. Overall, the band's attempt to blend black and death metal is unsatisfactory in this album.   Jun 11, 2023

I hoped the music it contains would be as distinguished as its album cover. This album is an average-level post-rock release with industrial metal influences.   Jun 11, 2023

This album shows a perfect musical synthesis of Blut Aus Nord and Deathspell Omega, which made me revere this opus ever since it was released. The Deathspell Omega-esque songwriting style successfully crafts a dark and eerie atmosphere. Reverence also added a slight amount of jazz influence into their sound with Blut Aus Nord-inspired vibe to create a labyrinthine musical layer, resulting in establishing the successful unpredictability of the musical pattern in structure.   Jun 11, 2023

This album displays jaw-dropping technicality at an inhumane level, which is the main strength of this release. But, it's the main drawback of this album at the same time. The eye-popping technical playings by the band don't seem to aim to establish musical integrity but to show off their astonishing calibre for playing instruments. They've done an impeccable job when it comes to performance. But I don't think they've achieved a distinguished level of musical completion.   Jun 10, 2023

The preamble-sounding album title has drawn my attention to give it a serious listen. I think the playfully straight-faced sci-fi storytelling is the charming point of this album. Songwriting-wise, this album is pretty good considering it is the band's first full-length debut release. But this album is seriously lacking in originality. This album keeps evoking me of Monster Magnet's Space Lord during the listen. I hope they can establish their musical identity next time.   Jun 10, 2023

The musicality and technicality that those British blokes have shown in this album is the appallingly downgraded version of Periphery in my opinion. It is another cookie-cutter Djent-based metal album that aspires to look like a good album.   Jun 10, 2023

I cannot understand why the title of this album is Bangers even though there are no tracks considered to be 'bangers'.   Jun 9, 2023

This album portrays extreme insanity by playing a unique blend of progressive wankery supported by intense grindcore with a good dose of truly bizarre vocals thrown in for good measure. The kaleidoscope of musical structure is the most impressive feature of this album. Predicting the structural dynamics of this album is beyond the realms of possibility. Overall, this album offers the experience of an ecstatic state by pummeling beats and the bizarity in sound and structure.   Jun 9, 2023

This album is an assorted gift set that contains all the horrendous musical features of metal you can imagine.... I have tried my best to find at least a single feature that might sound positive to my ears, but it was a waste of time.   Jun 9, 2023

This album released by the quartet from NZ is quite interesting. The most impressive about this album is the band's songwriting capability. The fusion of different styles and structures in a bittersweet form of death metal is fascinating. If you are sick of listening to cookie-cutter death metal albums these days, this album would be a great pleasure. The downside is that the later tracks are a bit deviated from the musicality that the early tracks have marvellously developed   Jun 9, 2023

Do you have any idea how to turn idiocracy into a metal form? This album would give you the answer. For my own sake, I cannot recommend this album to anyone. Steva La Conhiala, the frontwoman of this band, does her job at the 'Okay' level, but I have no idea what the rest of her bandmates are doing in this album. In short, this album is a complete disaster in songwriting, production, originality, and performance.   Jun 9, 2023

It's a great atmospheric black metal album. Klabautamann is at the peak of their power in this album which outperforms their previous efforts in every aspect. Musically speaking, this album sounds more fluid, quirky and dynamic. The feature I love the most about this album is that this release sounds more creative and interesting as it goes towards the end. This is the main reason why I revisit this album quite often up until now even though it was released over a decade ago.   Jun 9, 2023

In my opinion, those who criticise this album for its slow tempo are not fans of doom metal for sure. Disliking this album will be totally fine with me. But the tardy tempo in structure and sound is one of the musical characteristics of doom metal. Most people tend to talk about the first track of this album. But the tracks like 'A Funeral Request' and 'Reaching Happiness, Touching Pain' are also the jewels of this album.   Jun 9, 2023

I'm often mesmerised by the unique features of this album. The overall musicality reminds me of Morbus Chron's Sweven album. But this album sounds more discordant with a pure death metal approach compared to Sweven. It is a bit of shame that the peculiar sound characteristics shown in the early tracks of this album slightly go away as it goes to the end. But I'm so sure that it is an absorbing album with a unique metal spirit from the beginning to the end.   Jun 9, 2023

I cannot just simply say that this album is monotonous in structure. It is worse than that. This release is the prime example of using simplicity as a musical technic in the worst imaginable way.   Jun 8, 2023

This album would be the optimum answer for the seekers who are looking for something weird and chaotic. This album is a landmark opus drawn based on progressive metal, metalcore and math metal with a banquet of bombarded technical playing. Apart from the fantastic technicality, the two different vocal styles employed by SikTh in this album sound fascinating, making this album sound more interesting. To conclude, this album is one of my all-time favourites.   Jun 8, 2023

This album is one of the most underrated melodic black metal albums of all time. The reason why this album has been neglected in the metal community is that this album was released when the genre, melodic black metal, was young. It means that the genre itself at that time was as pure as virgin territory. Probably this album does not sound as ideal as modern-day black metal albums, but this release is a journey of true imagination with hallucinating atmosphere.   Jun 8, 2023

To me, Rob Zombie is the metal form of Justin Timberlake. Like Justin's music, this album is full of somewhat sexy and easy-to-grasp melodies with modest hardness. I loved this album when I was a teenager. This album is recommended for those who are on the verge of exploring the metal world.   Jun 8, 2023

I'd rather call this album 'dissonant death metal' than technical death metal. Some tracks like 'Taufbefehl' is a bit simple in structure to be tagged as 'technical'. But It doesn't mean that this album isn't technical enough. Some tracks are played with Ulcerate-esque technical level of musicianship. Those who love the musical combination of dissonance and brutality would appreciate Nightmarer's effort. Overall, this album is a good album with engaging sound characteristics.   Jun 8, 2023

I am so sorry to say that I have come to a decision that I will defy to participate in the 'congregation' of Metal Church due to the unsatisfied quality of this album.   Jun 8, 2023

This one is the epitome of the death metal with pure brutality. I'm still listening to it quite often whenever I need something appalling, vulgar, or atrocious in my mind. By the way, I had to deduct the score a bit due to the poor quality of mixing and mastering.   Jun 8, 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
