The melancholy is so thick on this album. I'm glad I've finally looked into their earlier albums. This one is powerful & heavy like Aevum, and the quality is just as high. A very exciting record.   Sep 22, 2023

Very good epic feel on this album. The cover art has a castle that looks kind of amateurish, but don't be fooled; these are well written songs played with huge amounts of passion.   Sep 22, 2023

I liked this a lot, and I found the most doom-laden parts the best. Interesting that not even the doom on this album is all that slow; it's a lot of mid-tempo. Also, the melodies really stay with me.   Sep 22, 2023

Definitely better than Gold & Grey, since I find more of these songs very satisfying. Great melodies played by total pros. Also, Baroness's discography is starting to get pretty beefy at this point. I've loved their music for a long time and have real respect for the past & present members.   Sep 22, 2023

A prolific brutal death metal musician goes black metal, and you'll believe it when you hear the vocals. Good black metal with some symphonic intros.   Sep 22, 2023

Kind of hard to choose between 85 and 90 on this one. All good, but it doesn't excite me as much as Plague, which is similar in style. The military rhythms do feel prominent on this album, giving the music a feeling of galactic empires exploring new planets. Also, I just love that album cover.   Sep 22, 2023

The energy of the songs is equal to the coolness of the band & its image, which should be impossible but..... Motörhead.   Sep 22, 2023

Very solid for all 13 tracks. The Rolling Stones cover was even better than I was hoping for. The legendary band's final album is very good.   Sep 22, 2023

Now I learn about this band. It's some unique progressive metal. I get a thall feeling from this at parts, but maybe that's just me. Anyway, recommending this to everyone because it's refreshing.   Sep 22, 2023

So many great moments condensed into 35 minutes. Melodically great, and Hate Forest's use of guttural vocals to induce trance-like feelings is so unique and effective. Brilliant music.   Sep 20, 2023

Wow, what's up with these guys. In just 3 years they rose straight to the Awesome Tier.   Sep 20, 2023

Great musicianship. So many slow songs on this one. Most of the best parts are the mid-tempo ones, but track 3 totally blew me away. Cool band, and the future looks extremely promising for these 2 guys.   Sep 20, 2023

Melodic BM with an all-blue illustration on the cover - isn't that an omen for good music? Well, the rich and flowing music delivers what we want here. There's a great air of tragedy and melancholy. Also, this band's name is nothingness/空 in the Buddhist context. The 'Dark Age' theme matches the melody perfectly. Thoroughly enjoyed it.   Sep 20, 2023

It's a very jarring sound that works well. Some people like it a lot more than me, but I definitely like it too.   Sep 20, 2023

Short but sweet. What a good blackened thrash band. It's not as excellent as their 2022 album, but I need more Daeva!   Sep 19, 2023

I like all tracks by both bands, but Úlfarr's tracks all have the same riff (which they admitted to, I think). If that doesn't bother you, it's a good split and a great way for Malfeitor to make himself known.   Sep 19, 2023

Melodic BM with power metal influence? Wow, it works very well while feeling natural. Such a great brand spanking new band. I can't wait to hear their first full-length coming out this month.   Sep 19, 2023

When this band came out, I thought they were much worse than this and much more cringeworthy. Pleasant surprise - this album has a lot of enjoyable moments, and nothing really negative that jumps out at me. Also, the singer can actually sing, and when he raps I don't find it embarrassing. A certain Limp band could have learned a lesson... back in 2001.   Sep 19, 2023

Mostly average music on here. The clean vocals sometimes bother me, sounding like a whining metalcore teenager, but the harsh vocals are decent or better. Production sounds good. Track 6 really stands out - much more enjoyable than the rest. The Smashing Pumpkins cover doesn't compare to the original, but that's quite a challenge in the opinion of little old me.   Sep 19, 2023

Track 2, Ostracized is pretty powerful, and the rest of the album is just so-so or kind of weak. Also, it's mostly covers, and the covers are mostly not so great. Rate Your Music people think this is the worst album ever, but they have their own potato-head obsessions. Anyway, this one is only for die-hard fans of Otep; for me it exists for that track 2.   Sep 19, 2023

Overall a good album. I liked the thrashy riffs though some guitar parts felt more simple than they should be. The songwriting is mostly very good, but gets weaker in the middle of the album, especially with the songs with very short run-times. The vocals, of course, are great and really strengthen the gothic element.   Sep 18, 2023

This album sweeps me away. There's a lot of what people like me want from atmospheric black metal, but there is some surprisingly doom-laden stuff in here too, so it's rather unique. Definitely one of my favorite bands.   Sep 16, 2023

Quite beautiful, and there are some fun 80s-feeling parts. By the way, what the heck is happening on that album cover?   Sep 16, 2023

I loved this one so much, and this great album helps tip 2023 toward being a huge year for metal. I'm wondering if TesseracT gets overlooked by people looking for extremely heavy progressive metal. Well, this music has what they're looking for.   Sep 16, 2023

Jukka's voice is always so excellent, and these are gorgeous songs. In every way, well done.   Sep 16, 2023

Officially, I declare Fog of War one of those bands that need to produce more albums. They are so excellent and so many years have passed. Also, A+ on making this one distinct from the previous. I loved all the music, and I loved all the attitude.   Sep 16, 2023

Pretty solid album, but the lyrics and singing are a weak spot. Something about groove metal makes it easy to say awkward things while being too emphatic about it. The guitar playing and guitar sound are great, and the whole thing does feel very dramatic.   Sep 16, 2023

It has some good moments, but nothing as good as their later material. Very obvious influence from Otep on this album, but the results got better when their experience was their main source.   Sep 16, 2023

A good listen. Track 2 is great and so is the famous track 4, so I can see why they were singles. A lot of the other songs have weak verses and excellent choruses. Owners of the Japanese edition were lucky; I always loved that Jurassitol song.   Sep 16, 2023

시간이 지날수록 앨범의 가치가 살아나는 작품. 코지파웰의 드러밍이 기가막힌 글램롹의 좋은 본보기.   May 27, 2024

이 앨범 페인킬러보다 좋다. Ram It Down부터 Monsters of Rock을 거쳐 리마스터반에 수록된 Night Comes Down, Bloodstone 라이브 트랙까지 완벽 그 자체. 이것이야말로 한 트랙도 절대 빼버릴 게 없는 무결점의 헤비메탈 명반이다.   Jun 4, 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

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

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

전곡이 훌륭한 테크스래시 초명반. 93.5점.   May 19, 2024

락을 그리 좋아하지 않는 와이프도 좋아하는 앨범...   May 20, 2024

인플레임스 최고의 명반이자 멜로딕 데스메탈 역사상에서도 중요한 필청작. 어떻게 이렇게 천지개벽할 수 있었는지 뒷담화 썰을 듣고 싶을 정도다.   May 23, 2024

사나이 심장을 울리는 웅장한 음악. 88점.   May 23, 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

The variety in the instrumentation keeps every song so distinct. The vocals are very good. All in all, these veterans made excellent use of their experience. Great work.   May 26, 2024

1 ,3, 8 이 제일 좋고 2 번도 굿. 완전 장난기 많은 사운드는 아니지만 벨라도나 1기 다운 앨범이다. 하지만 벨라도나 1기 중에는 여전히 among 앨범이 평균적인 느낌으로 제일 좋은 것 같다. 이렇게 벨라도나 1기 시절은 끝이 난다.   May 26, 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

Sting in the Tail is another very good album by legendary Scorpions   May 30, 2024

기존의 1집보다는 조금은 거친듯한 질감의 사운드를 음미할 수 있는 음반. 곡 퀄리티야 뭐 최상급이고...   May 31, 2024

변화가 없으면 늘 똑같은 것만 한다고 욕 먹고, 좀 달리 하면 초심을 버렸다고 욕 먹고. 하지만 이 앨범에서 Demon Driver를 지나치면 안 됨. 특히 중간에 스윕피킹으로 갈겨주는 아름다운 아르페지오는 더더욱.   Jun 3, 2024

이 앨범이 메탈킹덤에 있다니 다소 놀랍다. 이 음악들이 나에게 준 감동은 만점 이상이다. 50년이 넘은 음악이지만, 50년 후의 리스너들도 듣고 있을 것이다.   Jun 6, 2024
