Core
preview  Stone Temple Pilots preview  Core (1992)
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
A lot of guys used to make fun of Scott Weiland's vocals on this and say anyone can do that voice, but this is the start of a great journey that expanded his range, technique, and charisma. Some songs sound like Alice in Chains & Soundgarden done not as well, but many are good and full of energy. Creep is a great and rare example of a slow song done well. The drumming was better than I expected, and I enjoyed the whole album.   Jan 10, 2024

Connect
preview  Sick Puppies preview  Connect (2013)
level 15 Cosmicism   60/100
Tracks 8 and 12 are okay, and track 4 is amusing, but this is mostly weak boring & embarrassing with loose instrumentation and predictable everything. The male vocalist doesn't have anywhere near enough charisma, especially with that mediocre vocal range. The female vocals are noticeably better, but she only does 5 or 6 percent of the album. Disappointing.   Jan 10, 2024
II
preview  ANGR preview  II (2023)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Thinking outside the box and showing some non-metal influences while keeping the end product 100% metal. It sounds close to blackened death metal to me. Anyway, it's great and I'll need to check out their first album now.   Jan 10, 2024
Bleed Out
preview  Within Temptation preview  Bleed Out (2023)
level 15 Cosmicism   70/100
First of all, this album is mostly metalcore and a lot of the tracks feel like forced clichéd filler, including the title track. The singing stays stuck in the same tone & emotion, which feels weird for clean vocals. Please take that effect off her voice as well. Track 5 is like an R&B song with hard rock in back of it, but it's maybe the best on the album. I like track 7 as well, and the rest is meh for me.   Jan 10, 2024

Cult of the Stars
preview  Bloodroot preview  Cult of the Stars (2023)
level 15 Cosmicism   65/100
Some good instrumentation here, but I don't hear enough melodic themes to hold the songs together and give them a purpose. The artist identifies as sludge & death doom, but it does lean toward heavy psych. Anyway, with a different plan of attack there could be a better album in the future.   Jan 10, 2024
Here in After
preview  Immolation preview  Here in After (1996)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Yet another great album by Immolation. The grimness is so thick I'm left with an uncanny feeling that even the sound penetrated through it.   Jan 10, 2024

Calculating Infinity
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
I can tell they were staying true to their musical vision. Also, its very impressive and has a great shocking feeling. I don't need all that silence near the end, but I can just hit stop, so I won't deduct any points.   Jan 7, 2024
De Kronieken Van Het Verdwenen Kasteel - II - Nergena

De Kronieken van het Verdwenen Kasteel - I - Harslo
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
I like this more than the 2nd EP in this series. Hypnotizing but really intense. Definitely a band to to pay close attention to.   Jan 7, 2024
Requiem
preview  Bathory preview  Requiem (1994)
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
Extremely pure, stripped-down, and straight-forward thrash. Definitely good quality.   Jan 7, 2024
A Place Where There's No More Pain
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
A nice step up from the 2005 album. Some songs are good and some are so-so. Somewhat of an Alice in Chains sound, so it's quite different from the early albums.   Jan 7, 2024
Panzerfaust
preview  Darkthrone preview  Panzerfaust (1995)
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
What an excellent album. Sick atmosphere, and the groaning that playfully breaks up the groove of the hard-hitting Quintessence makes it even more memorable, maybe my favorite track. It's all great except for the last track, which is not bad though. Perfect album cover that matches the feel of the music. I really love this record.   Jan 7, 2024

Wolverine Blues

Wow, I really loved this album. It has a lot of variety for just 35 minutes, and the passion is turned up to the maximum. This 1993 classic is my pick of the day.   Jan 4, 2024

Until the End
preview  Eleine preview  Until the End (2018)
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
This earlier album is more similar to other well-known symphonic bands such as Epica. I like how as Eleine's discography progresses, their own style becomes more & more apparent. This album however is quite solid, and Madeleine's singing is top-tier - not just voice, but delivery and real emotion.   Jan 4, 2024
Pandemonium
preview  Killing Joke preview  Pandemonium (1994)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
This one really gets into a groove. It's heavy enough and has many distinct interesting highlights. I've been putting off discovering more about this band for too long, and now I'm becoming a big fan.   Jan 4, 2024
Epos
preview  Downfall of Gaia preview  Epos (2010)
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
With the quiet parts and slow parts, this album requires some patience like doom often does. Anyway, it does pay off so I'm glad I had the chance to listen, but it's far from the excellence of later albums.   Jan 4, 2024
Killing Joke
preview  Killing Joke preview  Killing Joke (2003)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Incredible. This band influenced the bands that took industrial and goth into the heavy zone, and then Killing Joke goes as heavy as the heaviest, and even angrier. Some 25-year-old bands don't pay attention when the studios tell them to start sucking.   Jan 3, 2024
Night Time
preview  Killing Joke preview  Night Time (1985)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
It's really great how this blends in with the 1985 pop sound, but it's much more subversive and well-rounded than some normies might expect at first listen. Quite different from the debut, but I enjoyed it just as much.   Jan 3, 2024
Killing Joke
preview  Killing Joke preview  Killing Joke (1980)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Lively and playful, and a great debut. Even in 1980, post-punk achieved more variety than punk but kept 100% of the punky energy and attitude. This release seems to be very influential, and I can see why.   Jan 3, 2024
Symmetry in Black
preview  Crowbar preview  Symmetry in Black (2014)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
When Gigachad came into existence through a shimmering portal already fully adult, he said, "Don't bother yourself with the pregnancy Mom; I'll just come out this way." There was cheering and confetti in the whole time zone. Also, the beginning of this album was somehow playing right out of thin air.   Jan 3, 2024

Mourning Moon
preview  Final Gasp preview  Mourning Moon (2023)
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
Wow, I loved this. The album is a bit stronger around the 2nd half but is still all very good. Its a great fusion of genres, and yes I feel that I could really use more Danzig-style vocal swagger and deathrock influence in current music, but then again I doubt many will do it this well. Thanks to Daniel Dekay from Banger for bringing this one to our attention.   Jan 3, 2024
The Red Chariot

Tons of the solos and other guitar passages are really wonderful. As a whole album, I feel it's good / not great, but it's a top notch chill-out. Thank you Black Sky Giant!   Jan 3, 2024
Kon​č​ina
preview  Bjes preview  Kon​č​ina (2023)
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Bjes keeps up the same level excellent music on their full albums; that's 2 releases I'm ranking 90/100 for 2023. Again it's so melancholic, depressive, evil, and angry. The gruff vocals on this are usually for surlier music, but from Bjes that gruff voice is melancholic despite the vocal tone. It's all these deeply sad melodies that make everything work so well.   Jan 2, 2024
Amaranthe
preview  Amaranthe preview  Amaranthe (2011)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
I enjoyed this one a bit more than Manifest. There is a lot of great moments, and I especially love Serendipity. On a couple of songs, the riffs feel not dynamic enough, but maybe that's just me. More certainly, the 3 vocalists sometimes leave the songs too crowded with rushed singing. Many singers can be cool, but it needs to be balanced right or the flow of the song suffers. A couple of complaints, but still quite good.   Jan 2, 2024

음악을 오래 듣다보니, 어렵고 복잡한 음악을 만드는 것보다는, 뜯어보니 정말 단순하고 별거 아닌, 남들도 다 할 수 있는 요소들을 절묘하게 조합해서 좋게 들리도록 만드는 것이 훨씬 어려운 것 같다. 그럼 관점에서라면 본조비는 '실력이 대단한 밴드'라고 자신있게 할 만하다.   7 days ago

만약 "드림시어터"의 음악으로 본 다면 이 앨범은 DT중 가장 쳐지고 가벼운 음반이 될 것이다, 만약 드림시어터의 "음악"으로 본 다면 이 앨범은 재즈,블루스 등을 잘 버무려 본인들만의 스타일을 접목시켜 만들어낸 이색적인 작품이 될 것이다. 물론 호불호가 당연히 있을것이다. 하지만 이 앨범은 망작이라는 평가를 받기에는 수려한 곡들이 가득가득 들어차있다.   May 18, 2024

얼터너티브 뽕을 제대로 맞기전 마지막 인플의 멜로딕 데스메탈 작품이다, 이 앨범도 역시 얼터뽕이 들어간 곡이 많이수록 되어있다. 90년대의 뭐랄까 쓸쓸함이 느껴지는 인플만의 감성이 많이 사라지긴 했지만 이전작들에서 들어본적 없는 중독적인 후크송도 있고 이 정도면 전체적으로 훌륭하다고 생각한다.   May 24, 2024

분명 KEEPER 시리즈 이후 나온 앨범이라 기대감에 비해 충격을 받은 건 사실이나 평가 절하될 정도의 앨범은 아니라고 본다. 2,4,7,8,10,11번 트랙 등 괜찮은 곡들이 많다. 개인적으로는 키스케의 보컬은 고음도 좋지만 저음을 더 좋아하는 지라...보너스 트랙인 "Shit And Lobster" 도 나쁘지 않다.   May 27, 2024
