Fatal Design
preview  Entwine preview  Fatal Design (2006)
level 14 Cosmicism   70/100
The vocals are mediocre & phony. The songwriting is not interesting and obscenely commercial. There are a few gothic moments, but they are outnumbered by momrock. Disappointing for me.   Mar 2, 2024
V - Oceans

Good funeral doom by Déhà's dedicated funeral doom project.   Mar 1, 2024
Nahanagan Stadial
preview  Coscradh preview  Nahanagan Stadial (2022)
level 14 Cosmicism   80/100
A good album. Besides black metal & death metal, there a few heavy-metal style solos.   Mar 1, 2024
Years of Lead
preview  Coffin Nail preview  Years of Lead (2022)
level 14 Cosmicism   85/100
Vigorous and truthfully great songs. The Hanged Man was noticeably better, but that honey of an album cover had me expecting a million times better. Silly me.   Mar 1, 2024
Claustrophobic Dysentery
level 14 Cosmicism   90/100
Everything is excellent on this powerful album. Sometimes field recordings and ambience just match the theme very vaguely, but here the sounds bring you to very specific times & spaces that are grimy, hopeless, & dangerous. Yes it's also viscerally gratifying war metal, but this is an intelligent & thought-provoking work as well. First time hearing this artist, and I already have a lot of respect for him.   Mar 1, 2024
The Depths
preview  Cover of Night preview  The Depths (2017)
level 14 Cosmicism   75/100
Some very good atmospheric BM parts, and some very good post-metal parts. This should be an 80/100 album at least, but it takes too long to get to the point. Field recordings and ambience can only last so long.   Mar 1, 2024
Old Man's Doom
level 14 Cosmicism   85/100
A bit better than Inner Emigration. After listening to some insanely stuff a couple of days ago, this was the perfect chill out.   Mar 1, 2024
Space Symphony Around Us

Good album. Very heavy and with humorous parts.   Mar 1, 2024
Gargle Cummics
preview  Rompeprop preview  Gargle Cummics (2010)

I tried some porngrind to find out what it is like. This one in particular was fun and full of energy. I particularly liked how it references pop culture.   Mar 1, 2024
Creeping! Crushing! Crawling!
level 14 Cosmicism   70/100
I really enjoyed the bounciness, the occasional segments of old school death metal, and the audio clips. The main negative for me is that the composition feels a bit empty, as if the other instruments expect the vocals to fill some space and make the songs feel complete, but those vocals just rumble without accomplishing much. The end result feels like background music for a movie or video game that is designed for other audio to be the main focus.   Mar 1, 2024
Vessels by which the Devil is Made Flesh
level 14 Cosmicism   85/100
Very good music. I find the 2nd track a little less enjoyable than the other two. They produced a cool series of illustrations for this album.   Mar 1, 2024
The path to the abyss of evil
level 14 Cosmicism   90/100
Very well-played and passionate black metal.   Mar 1, 2024
Traits of the Past
preview  Agnosy preview  Traits of the Past (2014)
level 14 Cosmicism   90/100
Better than their 2019 album. The guitar sound here is just so perfect; they must be fully satisfied with the recording. The songs are all good, but that last track is a death crust epic. Definitely becoming a fan of Agnosy. Also, that cover art, in addition to being well executed, is exactly what we metal fans want to see, so double thank you for that one.   Feb 28, 2024
Cause for Alarm
level 14 Cosmicism   90/100
More variety in the beats & rhythms would be an improvement, but this album is as invigorating as all hell.   Feb 28, 2024
The Fallen Leaves
level 14 Cosmicism   80/100
A solid good time with no weak parts. Surprise of the day: there is some deathcore on this album. Respect to Dwarrowdelf for taking Tolkienesque to different places and bringing us more variety.   Feb 28, 2024
somewhere far beyond
preview  Ammanas preview  somewhere far beyond (2024)
level 14 Cosmicism   100/100
I listen to a lot of music, but this album stands out as one to keep playing regularly. First 10/10 for me for 2024. The best vocalist from the last album is on all the tracks. It's also clear that Ammanas was determined to come up with compositions that are even better than his previous work, and that determination pays off with 36 minutes of nonstop emotional power.   Feb 28, 2024
闇歌 Yamiuta
preview  Kanashimi preview  闇歌 Yamiuta (2023)
level 14 Cosmicism   75/100
Pretty good depressive BM, but the flow of the songs feels a bit awkward at times. Good if you want depressive nocturnes.   Feb 28, 2024
Minas Morgul
preview  Summoning preview  Minas Morgul (1995)
level 14 Cosmicism   90/100
The Passing of the Grey Company is a masterpiece diamond in the lo fi. Beautiful melodies on this album. I also notice some thinking outside the box in composing these melodies. Very good early album by a legend of a band.   Feb 28, 2024
Double Brutal
level 14 Cosmicism   85/100
It's tons of fun, the Arnold impersonation is fantastic, there're some great cover songs, and the original songs obviously have an element of comedy but they still work as enjoyable music. Recommended for humans that like to enjoy things.   Feb 28, 2024

I keep listening to this one, and I'm getting even more into it. Also, brilliant use of color in the cover art, and yeah I wake up like that a lot too, but that bowl of Franken Berry is bad for your teeth, so.......   Feb 25, 2024
Not Comfy

Still playful and unorthodox, but I still get that wonderful comfy synth feeling. Good work, Micturator.   Feb 25, 2024
The God in the Machine
level 14 Cosmicism   70/100
Not an average album; it's just so bizarre. While it gets heavy and brutal, replete with oink & squeal slam vocals, it also breaks into lots of jarring breakcore and nintendocore moments. It's so challenging it's hard to listen to but, at the same time, I'm deeply impressed. Definitely not for everyone. Who here is ready for a wild adventure?   Feb 25, 2024

Sometimes great black metal just waits 20 years or so, and then steals my heart.   Feb 25, 2024

This album gets to certain parts that make me swoon. Well done, Pallbearer.   Feb 25, 2024

I've been catching up with crust punk releases from 2023, and this vicious & Lovecraftian blackened crust album really made it a worthwhile endeavor.   Feb 25, 2024

level 14 Cosmicism   90/100
This ended up being maybe the heaviest thing I've heard in the past 4 or 5 days, which was a surprise because I thought it was going to be more on the punk side. There's a lot of black metal and death metal influence, and maybe some grindcore too. Anyway, you can really feel the inner power from this vocalist. All around, great listen.   Feb 25, 2024

I loved the use of gothic composition on this one. The airy melodeath vocals don't quite modulate enough for me. There's also a tendency here to repeat the same line too many times, so singing overall is a slightly weak spot on this good album.   Feb 25, 2024

level 13 caLintZ   90/100
군터 베르노의 부재가 오히려 곡의 diversity가 증가하는 방향으로 귀결되어 조금 변화된 VP를 느낄수있다. 그 와중에 코어는 전혀 흔들리지 않고 너무나 탄탄한 장르의 전형을 보여주는 뛰어난 앨범이다. 이들 특유의 늘어짐이 가끔은 지루하기도 하지만, 이정도 내공에 이정도 앨범을 찍어내는 이들은 결코 없으므로, 이제 당연히 명예의 전당에 입성해야 한다.   May 10, 2024

간만에 듣는 수작 프로그레시브 젠트 앨범. 개인적으로 프록을 좋아하지 않음에도 불구하고 리프가 살아있고 복잡한 연주보다는 분위기나 리듬이 강조되어 듣는 재미가 배가 되었다. 보컬이 그로울링이었더라면 취향 100점 짜리 앨범이 되었지 않을까라는 생각도 드는 앨범.   Apr 29, 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

Long Live Rock 'N' Roll
level 13 metalnrock   100/100
리치가 베이스를 1–3, 6를 연주했다. 그 외의 스튜디오는 밥 데이즐리 연주. 어렸을 때에는 1,5를 굉장히 좋아했었는데 문제는 5를 라센 시기에는 듣질 못했었다. 지금은 오히려 4번 같은 곡이 애청곡이 되었다. 앨범으로 기준으로도 1,2집보다 더 좋아했던 기억이 있다. 8번은 역시나 디오의 또 다른 보컬 맛을 느끼기 좋은 곡. 디오 재적시의 앨범은 영원할 것 같다.   Apr 20, 2024

3인조 코로너의 전 앨범 특히 2,3,4집을 좋아합니다. 옛날에 3집을 LP로 구입했었는데 속지에 시계, 스위스, 큰 글자로 '그로테스크' 라고 적힌 기억이.. 이후 90년대 중후반에 걸쳐서 전 앨범을 시디로 하나씩 모았죠. 30년간 신보를 안 내고 재결성 후에 아직도 활동하는 것도 특이한데, 그만큼 고정팬들이 많다는거 거겠죠.   Apr 25, 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

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.   7 days ago
