Chromaparagon
preview  Moon Tooth preview  Chromaparagon (2016)
level 14 Metal Addiction   85/100
A rhythmical and fun-sounding album. Full of catchy and easy-to-grasp melodies with vivid and colourful-sounding guitar tones. I can sense the influence of metalcore in some tracks. I'm inclined to give higher ratings on the albums with a good ending track which summarises and synthesizes the entire concept and atmosphere of the album really well. This one is one of those albums.   Mar 24, 2023
Forbidden

The only and the biggest blot on the Black Sabbath's glorious career.   Mar 24, 2023
Diabolus in Musica
preview  Slayer preview  Diabolus in Musica (1998)
level 14 Metal Addiction   65/100
I do not have harsh feelings against Nu-metal. I used to like Nu and alternative metal bands like Korn and Deftones when I was a teenager. Absorbing unconventional musical elements would be totally fine. It might broaden the musical knowledge of their fans if the musical mixture is successful. But it would be a horrendous outcome if the mixture was a total failure. In short, Slayer failed to do a quality job of juxtaposing the Nu-metal grooves with their legacy in this album.   Mar 24, 2023
Assassins: Black Meddle Part I
level 14 Metal Addiction   60/100
Equivocal, vague and dubious-sounding album......The only thing I like about this album is the art cover.   Mar 24, 2023
Near Death Experience
level 14 Metal Addiction   55/100
I think Cro-Mags took the wrong path to change their musical style... I have no idea what they were thinking when they recorded this album. They seemed working their arse off to sound like a substandard heavy metal band in this album..... Arguably the worst vocal performance in my opinion.   Mar 24, 2023
Reload
preview  Metallica preview  Reload (1997)
level 14 Metal Addiction   55/100
I feel dreadful and disastrous whenever I listen to this album..... because this album has always made me remorseful of the time that I was exhilarated listening to Metallica's classics like Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets.   Mar 24, 2023
Anomalia
preview  Khonsu preview  Anomalia (2012)
level 14 Metal Addiction   85/100
Very inspirational release with Arcturus-like experimentalism. Not all metal albums in experimentalism sound convoluted. This release is a fantastic mixture of industrial, prog, and black metal. Especially the ending track, 'Va Shia', ends this album brilliantly with some clean yet proggy electric guitar, low, shamanistic vocalising and those hard-nosed verses of groove riffs.   Mar 24, 2023
The Xun Protectorate
preview  Khonsu preview  The Xun Protectorate (2016)
level 14 Metal Addiction   90/100
It is a terrific and exotic release. I was so impressed by Khonsu's previous effort. But this one is even better. This album has uniqueness in both sound and structure, which makes it defy to sound like typical black metal. This release has its own peculiarity in a superlative way, not only in terms of musicality but also in terms of the dark futuristic and engrossing atmosphere engulfing the city floating in a stream of stars.   Mar 24, 2023

In Forgotten Sleep
preview  Lör preview  In Forgotten Sleep (2017)
level 14 Metal Addiction   85/100
A promising debut album with decent quality. With the stunning variety in style shown in this album, Lör twists and turns the melodies in a beautiful way that I could barely imagine. But, Lör's experiments in some tracks sound somewhat rough and abrasive. Btw I would recommend this album to the people who love to listen to the great blend of progressive, power and folk metal.   Mar 23, 2023
Kénôse
preview  Deathspell Omega preview  Kénôse (2005)  [EP]
level 14 Metal Addiction   90/100
This album comes close to pure chaos and yet it doesn't touch the chaotic feeling that they mastered with their later release, Fas. I think this EP is kind of the beginning of a new musical path for the band.   Mar 22, 2023

Intelligent Design
level 14 Metal Addiction   90/100
This album is full of fresh ideas that only a newbie with a bright spark can offer. It´s very eclectic music with strong melodies, great vocal harmony and choir work, and a general disregard for genre labels. There are heavy and at times almost thrashy sections on the album, more mellow parts, epic parts, and quirky almost carnival bizarre parts. It´s an incredibly adventurous release featuring high-level musicianship.   Mar 21, 2023

Khaooohs & Kon-Fus-Ion
level 14 Metal Addiction   90/100
In this album, death metal is combined with the method of avant-garde style composition. Some people criticise the sax in the middle of the track, but I like it though. I'd rather criticise that this album is losing its grip heading towards the end. But it's definitely a great album overall.   Mar 21, 2023
Edge of Eternity
preview  Lör preview  Edge of Eternity (2020)  [EP]
level 14 Metal Addiction   85/100
It's quite surprising that Lör still remain "unsigned" from any labels. This EP shows the great potential for them to be a big name in the industry in the future.   Mar 21, 2023

This EP gives you the slight pleasure of thrashing. It's a shame that it's too short to receive proper attention or evaluation.   Mar 21, 2023

Concealed
preview  Augury preview  Concealed (2004)
level 14 Metal Addiction   85/100
Intriguing space-themed metal album. It's quite hard to find out a debut full-length album with this quality. There's no complaint about the technical proficiency of all the instruments the band played and the song-writing capability has been successfully executed with meticulous musicianship. As a newcomer to the scene, there are some shortcomings too: the entire album gets to sound monotonous as it goes towards the end due to the palpable and predictable musical pattern.   Mar 20, 2023

The beginning of the "Alterica" era. The harbinger of being Alterica was already spotted in their previous release in my opinion. This album would be totally fine with the people who don't care whether Metallica stick to the thrash metal style or not.   Mar 20, 2023

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

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

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

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
