Siebenburgen – Loreia (1997)
Format : CD
▸ Label - Napalm Records
▸ Catalog Number - NPR030
▸ EAN - 4 001617 274729
▸ Released - 1997
Mixing is just fine (It does not mean that the mixing quality is good.... It would rather be considered bad), but the mastering quality of the original release is a bummer. This album needs to be remastered as soon as possible.
My rating on this album : 86/100 (★★★☆)
"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."

Serdce – Timelessness (2014)
Format : CD
▸ Label - Blood Music
▸ Catalog Number - BLOOD-056
▸ EAN - 5060366780607
▸ Released - 17 Jun 2014
This CD is limited to 1000 copies worldwide.
My rating on this album : 92/100 (★★★★)
"This album is an outburst of technicality and creativity. More importantly, it shows the eclectic musical diversity that a prog-based metal band can offer. Some metal albums also adopt and display varied and different styles of music to show off their ingenious musicality, but it is not easy to find a successfully-integrated one. That's why "eclectic" musical diversity is a tough task to achieve. In that sense, this album is an inspirational record."

Rob Zombie – The Sinister Urge (2001)
Format : CD
▸ Label - Geffen Records
▸ Catalog Number - 069493147-2
▸ EAN - 8 808678 221664
▸ Released - 13 Nov 2001
I do remember the first time I purchased this album. I was a middle schooler back then. This album is reminiscent of my early teenage years even though I do not like this album anymore.
My rating on this album : 75/100 (★★☆)
"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."

Fight – A Small Deadly Space (1995)
Format : CD
▸ Label - Epic Records
▸ Catalog Number - EK 66649
▸ EAN - 0 7464-66649-2 6
▸ Released - 18 Apr 1995
There was a time when I was emphatically mesmerised by the metallic voice of Rob Halford and became his worshiper. This is one of the albums I collected when I was mad about him.
My rating on this album : 65/100 (★☆)
"This album is a total failure to evolve from the previous release which was not a satisfactory work either. Musically speaking, this release shows the degradation of Metal God's musicality."
Recommended Track : 3. Legacy of Hate

Deftones – Adrenaline (1995)
Format : CD
▸ Label - Maverick / Warner Bros. Records
▸ Catalog Number - 9 46054-2
▸ EAN - 0 9362-46054-2 3
▸ Released - 1995
It was the era of Nu Metal when I was a teenager. So it was so natural that fell in love with metal through that genre. Korn and Deftones were the two bands that stood out for me back then. I like the way Chino Moreno manifests an unhinged and gloomy mood through this voice.

▸ Label - Universal Records
▸ Catalog Number - 440 017 105-2
▸ EAN - 0 44001 71052 0
▸ Released - 26 Mar 2002
Most CDs in my collection were purchased when I was a teenager. Probably this one was purchased around that time.
My rating on this album : 75/100 (★★☆)
"This is the metal album that can make you move your shoulders up and down. The speed and aggressiveness of this release would exhilarate you. If you are a big fan of hardcore, you would love this album. It is a good album in its genre category but sounds too monotonous to me."
