Just fantastic music from Bathory here.   Mar 17, 2024

Wow, can this wake you up in the morning!   Mar 17, 2024

Good war metal from the early years.   Mar 15, 2024

My progressive surprise of the day, and I have Krindern's comment to thank. Powerful progressive metal with some djent in parts. Great to find another band with this style, and to hear of a band from Lebanon because I don't hear of many.   Mar 15, 2024

Just an EP, but it has a nice variety of black metal styles. The cover art is a very pleasing use of light & soft shadow on a beautiful lady, but the surfaces are too idealized.   Mar 15, 2024

All around the internet, this is Bathory's least reviewed album, but it should not be skipped because it's so solid throughout and it's just plain enjoyable too. Good thrash and some good heavy metal as well.   Mar 15, 2024

This morning, I was very lucky in choosing just the right album from 666MrDoom. Gratifying guitars, perfect distribution of vocals, and some truly hypnotic sections. That's a great name to choose for this kind of music, and the artist deserves such a great name. You nailed the debut. Whenever you feel a genuine inspiration, I'll rejoice to hear more.   Mar 15, 2024

Everything is crazy intense on this. I think I hear some NIИ influence. A great artist making a variety of genres work as one seamless whole.   Mar 15, 2024

Cool to catch up with Vreid.   Mar 15, 2024

Black 'n' roll is one of those gems of the sub-genres. Every time I hear some, I just need more. This is a great example of the style - fast, tons of feeling, and good variety.   Mar 15, 2024

It sounds very technical and virtuoso to me, and there are tons of highlights throughout. The melodies aren't as captivating as their 2023 album though. Still, I'm thankful there're no vocals. Pro bands like this remind me why I love the whole prog post & djent wheelhouse.   Mar 13, 2024

Great release from a great band. No matter how soft or hard the music gets, and no matter what mood I'm in, Alcest's albums such as this one always sound gorgeous to me.   Mar 13, 2024

Rate Your Music says this is the best war metal in the past 4 years. I like it, but just not as much as them.   Mar 13, 2024

I know: everyone's favorite band name, right? Anyway, you have to be a bit nuts to like this kind of stuff. By the way, I really loved the whole album. I'm not sure if it helps me get a handle on noisecore or noisegrind, but I had to start somewhere. The long track times work well, and the genuine vigor & aggression come through very well.   Mar 13, 2024

Good music on this epic album. The voice-overs are amateur and corny. Oh well. Still pretty good.   Mar 13, 2024

I loved the ferocious parts, and how this unsettling atmosphere is in all the very different parts of the album. Bear in mind there is a good amount of doom as well here. All good.   Mar 13, 2024

There's lots of great guitar-playing moments and the sound of those guitars is really satisfying. The singing is way too weak, it's just talking in a trendy voice, and the lyrics are too simpleminded, even though the singing melodies are good. All in all, slightly above innocuous.   Mar 12, 2024

100 for the solos. 90 for the drums. 90 for the riffs. 85 for the bass. 70 for the singing. 65 for the lyrics. So yeah, this great instrumentation in songs that don't hold together much.   Mar 12, 2024

Of course Amy's singing skill is amazing. Not all the songwriting is good, and sometimes the instrumentation is just too basic. It would be better without the tacked-on string sections. Still pretty good though. Tracks 10 & 11 were a nice surprise; I really enjoyed them.   Mar 12, 2024

Great melancholic music and everything flows nicely. The vocal delivery could use more variety. Maybe if they improve in that regard they'll break into the elite tier.   Mar 12, 2024

Oh I just love everything on this album. His guitar solos are getting better. You can feel how he's trying to perfect his craft, and how he's getting closer.   Mar 12, 2024

The vocals are just right, and these songs are packed with intensity.   Mar 12, 2024

I was hoping it would be even better than Claustrophobic Dysentery, and I was 100% right. This devious work brings us into a completely horrifying nightmare in some moldy room somewhere, but it's also soothing & meditative. I know those don't make sense together, so this is why you need to just hear it. The field recordings used masterfully on this one too. Unforgettable. My pick of the week for certain.   Mar 10, 2024

Unbreakable is a very good song, but nothing else on this album comes close to it. It's the first full-length of the band, so this is understandable.   Mar 10, 2024

A good start for an excellent band, and I just can't wait for their 2024 album to come out.   Mar 10, 2024

Very good conveying of emotion, and a good use of the atmospheric BM sub-genre.   Mar 10, 2024

Did I become stuck in a Murphy's Law rut? I expected this album not to take the metal seriously enough. Good thing I was wrong. That excellent first track is exactly what I want from doomgaze. Now there's some variety on the album, and it's not like each song is on the same level, but it's good music throughout, and the singer has the perfect touch.   Mar 10, 2024

Now I'm learning about this veteran band by trying this excellent black metal album. Lost Momentum is especially excellent, and the rest is good too.   Mar 10, 2024

Wow, I love this album with a passion. It's very Motörhead, and it sounds exactly like that cover art.   Mar 10, 2024

1990년도에 대체 무슨 일이 있었길래... rust in peace, painkiller, spiritual healing, cowboys from hell까지... 가슴이 웅장해진다. 나머지 앨범들도 손에 꼽을 정도로 좋아하는 앨범이지만 거의 모든 곡이 취향 저격인 앨범은 이것 밖에 없다.   May 7, 2024

드디어 이들의 약점이었던 절제된 기타솔로가 어느정도 해금되었습니다. 지난 앨범도 만족스러웠는데 역시나 이번에도 실망하지 않게 해주네요. 나이가 들어감에 따라 내가 좋아하는 밴드들도 하나둘씩 늙어가고 멤버들도 세상을 떠나는 걸 보니 매우 슬프네요. 반덴플라스는 계속 음악활동 왕성히 해주었으면 좋겠습니다   May 8, 2024

너무 탄탄하다. 40년 가까이 축적된 음악성이 드러난 앨범...연주, 곡 구성, 녹음 등 나무랄 부분이 없다.   May 10, 2024

밀레니엄 시기의 소위 '팝수성' 가득한 사운드로 청자를 타격한다. 특기할만한 것은 그 타격 지점이 RATM도, Limp Bizkit과 Korn, Slipknot도 내딛지 않았던 공간이라는 사실.   May 10, 2024

천재라 불렸던 자들은 진짜 총기가 불을 뿜는 때가 있다. 이시절의 나가쉬가 그랬다. 전작과 너무 다른 이앨범으로 전작에 버금가는 놀라운 사운드를 만들어냈다. 일렉트로니카와 익스트림을 섞어 부대찌개처럼 절묘한 융합의 새로운 맛을 냈다. 이렇게 세기말을 통과했던 이들은 너무 빨리 미래로 넘어갔다. 25년이 넘어도 여전히 미래적이다.   May 14, 2024

이때의 모습을 그리워하는 건 나뿐이진 않을 듯...   May 16, 2024

시간이 지날수록 앨범의 가치가 살아나는 작품. 코지파웰의 드러밍이 기가막힌 글램롹의 좋은 본보기.   6 days ago

Absolute crushing, heavy as fuck!   May 3, 2024

이름값에 걸맞는 앨범. 특히 유럽 내에서 그들의 인기는 타의 추종을 불허한다. 처음부터 끝까지 단단한 구성과 강력한 연주가 여전하다. 하지만 들은 후 이렇다할 임팩트나 싱글지향적 멜로디 부재의 한끝이 아쉽다.   May 5, 2024

개인적으로 이 앨범을 그렇게 좋아하지 않는다. 이 앨범이야 말로 방향성이 애매했던 프로듀싱과 작곡으로 생각보다 안좋네 라고 생각했던 앨범. 물론 메탈 갓이 주다스의 시그니쳐로 쓰이기는 한데 이 곡도 애매하다. 브레이킹 더 로나 리빙도 맘에 안들고 물론 관중과 싱어롱할때는 좋긴 하다고 생각은 하지만 말이다. 75-80점.6번 8번이 의외로 좋다.   May 8, 2024

MR. Dio , He should be in HEAVEN now...   May 10, 2024

very good album by Sepultura. Also, the front cover of Arise is excellent.   May 12, 2024

예측불허의 사운드에 넋이 나가며 회원님들의 코멘트에 적극 동감하는 바이다.   May 12, 2024

20세기의 끝을 알리는 멜데스의 걸작이다. 끝내주는 멜로디 하나로 메탈을 좋아하지 않거나 입문하는 사람들에게도 권해볼만한 작품   May 12, 2024

이 앨범 그냥 시대를 관통했습니다. 2030 고독사가 늘어나고 점점 사람들과의 관계가 멀어져 가는 요즘 시대에 살아가는 우리들에게 받아야할 위로를 이 앨범이 하나의 동화처럼 들려주기 때문입니다. 그리고 이 앨범의 모티브가 된 실화는 현 우리나라의 문제점을 그대로 나타나는 게 더 소름돋습니다.   May 12, 2024

Excellent disc. Despite not surpassing its predecessor, it is a sensational album. The Last in Line is one of Dio's greatest classics.   May 14, 2024

미국 밴드를 유럽 스타일의 밴드로 만든 건 샤샤 패스의 힘이 아닐까 한다. 본격적인 이들의 전성기 시작~   May 17, 2024

락/메탈의 시대 흐름에 따른 트렌드의 변화를 가장 적나라하게 보여주는 앨범. 메탈헤드 모두가 수긍할 만한 스타일의 음악은 아니지만 당시 Slayer도 Public Enemy도 좋아했던 나에게는 최고의 앨범 중 하나였다.   May 18, 2024

이럴거면 차라리 슬레이어 새 앨범을 내시는 게...   May 18, 2024
