Cosmicism 100/100
Very high chance this will be the best album this year. Possibly better than anything last year. Yes it's great atmospheric black metal, but there's a lot of classical music here too, and I just love it all. There are also some moments that are very metal but not particularly blackened. It also gets folky. Tons of variety, and 58 minutes never went by so fast in my whole life. May 3, 2024

Pretty consistent death metal. For the vocals that lack variety throughout, it's too consistent. Anyway it's still satisfying and good & old school. Death metal fans will probably be into it more than me. May 3, 2024

A very nice blast of 3 quick songs. Everything went better than expected with heavy guitars & barking vocals destroying our civilization. Almost as good as their 3 songs on the Hymns of Devastation split. May 3, 2024
Cosmicism 75/100
Species Splicer steals the show with their 3 short & excellent songs. The black metal element works wonderfully and brings a ton of variety & depth to the great slam of those songs. The other 2 bands do so-so, with Esophagus being slightly better than disorder. May 3, 2024

The other project by Caleb from Kyptoxik Mortality. This one is a chance to include blackened elements into the songs, but the music is still essentially death metal and slamming brutal death metal (not as black metal as the cover art looks). Overall, it's a good first EP, but the better stuff comes in later years. May 3, 2024

Pretty good blackgaze & atmospheric BM EP. May 3, 2024
Cosmicism 70/100
I thought I was being Insanity Wolf trying an album that ranks so low, but for me it's not so bad; just kinda plain, mediocre, and lacking variety. The riffing is pretty good, and the recording achieves a pretty good sound. I wish Deathblade had this kind of production for their album I just rated, because Deathblade wrote much better songs. In the end, meh. May 3, 2024

So I had an industrial Wednesday, and this was the low point. I'm trying to be fair because they are clearly going for a challenging listening experience that is should be hard for some people to enjoy but should still be good underneath. Unfortunately it doesn't work that well IMHO - there are some cool moments but it doesn't really speak to me as a whole. All in all, kind of good. May 3, 2024
Cosmicism 85/100
From my gory Tuesday, this was the fastest & most intense release I tried. I'm not quite sure that makes it the best. Either way, it's a good jolt of energy. May 3, 2024

It really puts me in a mood and helps me imagine all kinds of dark bloody rooms. Mission accomplished for Miasmatic Necrosis. May 3, 2024

Extremely thick-feeling music. With this artist, it's either frogs or decomposing in Fiji. Well, the vacation of your nightmares is one way to fulfill your dreams... May 3, 2024

All is good & well-played here. I expected super fast songs but. oh well, I'll still listen to more from this band. May 3, 2024

Mixed feelings on this release. The recording is bad, and I don't like the sound of the vocals, which might also be because of the recording. The songs are well written, and the riffing is NICE. May 3, 2024

So I had a gory Tuesday, and this was a fantastic way to start it off. Not as excellent as their 2024 album, but it's great so early in their career. May 3, 2024

Nice meaty sound on this one. I'm becoming a serious fan of Full of Hell. May 3, 2024

Very precise execution, and the drums have a great sound. Nice & powerful. May 3, 2024

Oh heck yeah. This deathgrind is just so fiery. The members experience from their previous band is apparent. May 3, 2024
Cosmicism 95/100
I wasn't surprised, but this EP really stole my heart. I find the first half more engaging than the second, but it's still a great experience to hear the whole thing and drift away. May 3, 2024
Cosmicism 80/100
I enjoyed it mildly. No particular misstep, just nothing that feels excellent. May 3, 2024
Cosmicism 90/100
Really beautifully demonic music by this extremely vital band. I can't say, however, that this album is as much of a gem as their 2022 album. Versets noirs is only 42 minutes and the last track is a Samael cover, so it doesn't pack as much value overall. The result is that we should just listen to a bunch of their releases in a row and feel super satisfied. Thank you so much, ACOD! Apr 29, 2024
Cosmicism 90/100
Great heavy metal and thrash with still that hint of BM. Of the past 10 years, I think this one is 2nd to Old Star; really close in fact. Also, that cover art works fantastically with the theme, and its element of surrealism is mixed in perfectly. This album is a class act in many respects from the prolific veterans. Apr 29, 2024

This one has some absolutely beautiful Pink-Floyd-sounding moments, and all the sludge is good as well. Solid album. Apr 29, 2024
Cosmicism 90/100
Some bands like Full of Hell play a real unique mix of quite a few genres, and they truly excel with this approach. For metalheads who are trying to develop an understanding of a genre, this can be really confusing. Anyway, one track starts off as drone metal and quickly phases into doom. There are all kinds of other brilliant highlights. For me, the deathgrind brings the most satisfaction. Top-tier work, overall. Apr 29, 2024

Thank you metalkingdom.net for bringing this dynamic group to my attention. Breakneck speed replete with insanity. A refreshingly bracing experience. Apr 29, 2024
Cosmicism 95/100
Pierce Williams is probably my favorite drummer active now, and this is more of the stuff I just love immensely. The vocals are pretty good, and that's the weakest element of the album. Everything else is excellent. Highly recommended and, without a doubt, my pick of the week. Apr 29, 2024
Cosmicism 75/100
A decent start. Not original at all, but imitating Lustre in the early releases turned into a good discography for many projects such as Basarabian Hills. Apr 29, 2024
Cosmicism 75/100
It is very hard to take this music seriously with the vocals being like blowing bubbles in a cup of water. I tried to have an open mind, and found some great bouncy grooves and deathy guitar melodies. I really don't need to hear crying and abuse for minutes though. Some good aspects and some negative ones. Apr 29, 2024

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

DT와 더불어 가장 활발한 활동을 하는 스틸 얼라이브 프록메탈 밴드로 영국의 대표밴드 스래쉬홀드와 더불어 독일을 대표하는 프록메탈밴드로 아주 훌륭한 연주력과 작곡력이 이번 앨범에도 퍼포먼스에 광을 내고 있다 May 3, 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

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

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

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
