The World Is Quiet Here – Prologue (2018)
Format : CD
▸ Label - Independent (Self-released)
▸ EAN - 0 19213 10629 4
▸ Released - Sep 4, 2019
My rating on this album : 90/100 (★★★★)
"It is a brilliant debut release. The fans of Between The Buried And Me (BTBAM), Native Construct or Last Chance To Reason would appreciate this effort. Structure-wise, It is not as kaleidoscopic as BTBAM. In other words, the soundscape of this release is a bit one-dimensional and not stereoscopic when compared to BTBAM. But the ingenuity of melody-making and the smooth musical transitions in each track would exhilarate listeners by offering the joy of a pure proggy melange."
Recommended Track-1 : 3. The Benign Author: Construct

"This album is the prime example of the famous quote, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication". This release is a simple, straightforward, intuitive, and masterful mixture of the heaviness of death metal, the intensity of black metal, the ambience of doom metal and the consummate technical level of progressive metal. Overall, it is a breathtakingly beautiful extreme prog-metal album and a genuine integrator of various forms of musicality and extreme heaviness."

My rating on this album : 90/100 (★★★★)
"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."

Gorhoth – 1994-2000 A.B. (2005) [Compilation]
Format : CD
▸ Label - Proselytism
▸ Catalog Number - +PRO+003+
▸ Released - May 5, 2005
Limited to 500 copies only.
Tracks 1-8 from unreleased album "Metal Negro De Muerte" 2000 a.b.
Track 9 from "Demo 1996".
Track 10-11 from "Demo 1998".
Tracks 12-13 from "Rehearsal 1995".
Tracks 14-16: from "Rito De Guerra" Demo 1999.
My rating on this album : 91/100 (★★★★)
"This one is the summarised work retrospecting Gorhoth's past career before they released the first full-length album. This album sounds like orthodox blackened death metal. Each song may be lacking the uniqueness that you might wish to look for. But the overall atmosphere of this album is the nostalgia for good old-school death metal music. Again, I think that this album portrays the features that death metal fans would love to listen to from a well-made metal album."

"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."

▸ Label - Shining Records
▸ Catalog Number - RAY001LP
▸ Released - Apr 24, 2020
Re-released vinyl to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the legendary album, Blackjazz. This vinyl is available from the band themselves via Bandcamp, limited to 500 copies, and each one is numbered and signed. Mine is the 265th copy. I just blurred my name in the first picture.
My rating on this album : 97/100 (★★★★☆)
"It is a shame that Shining have never reached this level of musicality in their later releases. This album is full of deviant and eerie electronica sounds with aggressive industrial metal elements. The intermittent and unexpected dissonances embedded in each track dissect my brain. This album is near my musical Xanadu."
Recommended Track-1 : A2. Fisheye

Recommended Track-2 : A3. Exit Sun

▸ EAN - 889853955114
▸ Released - Jan 27, 2017
One of the most 'listened-to' albums in CD format as an undergraduate. So many beautiful memories have been engraved in this album, reminiscing the good old days of my young 20s.
My rating on this album : 92/100 (★★★★☆)
"I'm hardly unbiased in talking about this opus. It was the most-played album when I was an undergraduate. Leprous is one of the brightest constellations in progressive metal. Mixing varied musical elements into a harmonious form is one of the charming features of that genre. Leprous have done it meticulously in this album. The Pain of Salvation-esque songwriting style and the melody-making calibre for crafting ethereal beauty via the fantastic vocal works are breathtaking."

Fleurety – Min tid skal komme (1995)
Format : Vinyl
▸ Label - Peaceville
▸ Catalog Number - VILELP778
▸ EAN - 801056877819
▸ Released - 2019
Peaceville has done an impeccable job of restoring the original artwork of this legendary album.
My rating on this album : 95/100 (★★★★☆)
"This album is special and monumental in black metal history because it was one of the first albums that pushed black metal in this hybrid direction combining avant-garde, prog and folk elements. The people who stick to the purest form of black metal might not like this album. But, to me, this release sounds evolutionary. Especially the second track, En Skikkelse I Horisonten, is a beauty."

It is a shame that the white-coloured vinyl was the only option that I was able to purchase this album. It was even worse that I received a defective one... There is a blot on both sides of the record. Fortunately, there are no skipping or pops while playing.
My rating on this album : 90/100 (★★★★)
"It's a bold work as a newcomer to the thrash revival scene back in 2009. The entire album sounds never overcomplicated, and the riffs are simple and intuitive compared to the other thrash revivalists. It's a very attractive album with progressive additives. I highly recommend you give this album a try if originality is the top priority when you evaluate music."

My rating on this album : 90/100 (★★★★)
"It is a great soothing neo-folk album applauded by many as one of the greatest debut albums. There are some musical similarities between this album and Ulver’s Kveldssanger released in 1996. I think this one is the evolved version of Kveldssanger because the depth of musical expression is deeper. A feeling of solitude is well presented and articulated in a very soothing way. This album is kind of healing music to me."
