Ethereal Riffian  –    Youniversal Voice (2016)  [Live]

Metal Addiction

Format : CD

▸ Label - Unsigned (=independent, self-released)
▸ Released - 2016

Hand-numbered eco-pack edition. Limited to 150 copies.

My rating on this album : ★★ (70/100)
"I have never been a fan of live albums due to their lack of capability to demonstrate the music in the way that musicians would like their fans to listen to in terms of mixing and mastering quality. The noise of audiences and the misalignment of instrumentation while performing live have always detracted me from the fine listening experience. This album is not bad at all. It is just a normal live album. But I would rather listen to the originals than this album."

"Fabulous doom metal album as beautiful as its album cover. The acoustic passages and desperate/melancholic storylines are stunning in this album, making this release distinct and special compared to the other releases in the same category. This album is the best at demonstrating lachrymose, disheartened, and doleful emotions in the most beautiful way."

"The only reason why I gave this album a shot was that I was inspired by Yurei's works. This album seems to be a slightly above-the-average album in the category of metal with dissonance features. There are far better dissonantly harmonious works than this album."

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."

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."

Format : CD

▸ Released - Apr 6, 2010

My rating on this album : 94/100 (★★★★)
"This one is a prime example of extreme harmonisation between a symphony orchestra and a metal band. Unlike some metal bands who adopted symphonic elements as senseless background, Haggard have done an impeccable job to display the musical heterogeneity. Like Galileo Galilei said "Eppur Si Muove", this album sounds like trying hard to prove that the symphonic elements and metal are not disparate from each other as pessimists keep insisting that they are not harmonious."

With Soul Sacrifice EP (1992).

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