Cosmicism 90/100
Wow. There are some pornogrind moments, but this album is a well-played exploration of where the lines between genres blur, even at times sounding almost black 'n roll, war metal. or raw black metal. Based on their earlier album covers, I don't know if I want to hear all of their material, but this veteran band has some real skills and deserves respect. Apr 12, 2024

It's as much campy fun as it's reputation claims. Even this early in Nicholas Barker's career he's already injecting a lot of quality & depth into the songs. Maybe a lot of people like it more than me, but nothing stopped me from enjoying. Apr 12, 2024

Mostly epic doom here. I get into the riffs. The moods are good. The singing has real passion. Everything is more genuine than that AI cover art. Apr 10, 2024

I was bobbing and getting my bestial groove on. Slightly better than I expected. Good work Invultation. Apr 10, 2024

The sound bites are a bit too long for such a short EP, but these are some pretty slamming tunes. Apr 10, 2024

The Dreams of Nature tracks are as stunning as I assumed, but Nebula Orionis suprised me with that last track. I didn't foresee something that excellent this early in his career. Apr 10, 2024

It's amazing to me how all the singles from this album are all its worst songs, the corniest ones with tacked-on string sections and annoying lyrics. The non-singles except for Call Me are all decent. Apr 10, 2024

The opening track is very Violet Cold. All good vibes on this cosmic album. Apr 10, 2024

Compared to their 2012 album, they more or less break even but they're somewhat different creatures. This one sounds more ambitious but the songwriting doesn't have as much to say. All in all, still good. Apr 10, 2024

Impressive & enjoyable. This is more on the progressive metalcore side instead of progressive metal, but the weakest aspects of metalcore are either absent or diminished in these songs, leaving only positive parts. Good work. Apr 10, 2024

Nasty & dense. It's took me some time to process this. Really amazing. Apr 10, 2024

Even though the title track is so legendary, it's underwhelming for me. It has a couple of good points but it ends without doing enough. Kickstart My Heart is definitely better, but still not great. The other songs were okay. The production is perfect though and the drumming is pro. In the end, I just want to find other bands to come to for glam. Apr 8, 2024

I was pleased to learn that this is slightly better than their excellent 2011 album Cabale. It has the atmosphere I came to them for, but it's not lost on me how friggin' heavy this is as well. Their bandcamp page says they're working on new material. I really hope it's the truth. Apr 8, 2024

Extremely evocative atmospheric black metal bound to be a highlight of 2024. Those masterful guitar tones could be from some top-tier post-metal. The vocal style works so perfectly with the moods of the songs. My pick of the day without a doubt. Apr 8, 2024

It's all good, but track 3 just captivates me with that mid-tempo paired with a slow groove. The bass is the star of the composition for sure, but everything else is excellent too. This is that kind of atmospheric BM that has a bit of depressive influence without really being depressive. Done brilliantly. Apr 8, 2024

Very satisfying music by Teitanblood here. Apr 8, 2024

This is the perfect combination top-notch musicianship and great record production. It even switches to smooth jazz without turning me off. This is one band everyone must hear. Apr 8, 2024

This is a lot like The Black Album plus Nickelback. I like The Black Album, but considering Nickelback's awful music, I'm surprised I didn't hate this album. It's okay, but I don't find it so genuine. Maybe if you're into commercial radio hard rock you'll like this a lot more than I did. Apr 8, 2024

Good energy and I can get lost in the guitarwork. However, the singer really obviously emulates Dave Mustaine, and I wish he would've picked someone different. Apr 8, 2024

Definitely nice thrash. The vocals might be the weakest point, but not bad or anything. Apr 8, 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

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

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

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. May 12, 2024
