The whole "Paradox" album is brilliant, DC Cooper has an absolutely amazing voice and gives a breakout performance in his sophomore album with the band. Andre Andreson shows why he is the leader and founder of the band with his amazing work on the keyboards, while songwriting is at its peak, intregrating all the instruments and vocals into a sonic treat.   Dec 2, 2022

"Moving Target" contains so many excellent songs such as "Far Away", "Step by Step", "Last Goodbye", etc. D.C. Cooper gives the tracks a soaring flair & strong vocal performance that's arguably the highlight of his career, accompanied by layers of imaginative and propulsive keyboards, boomy, driving drums and atmospheric guitar work.   Dec 2, 2022

This album is a great offering by Royal Hunt's high standards. A sequel to the band's 1997 masterpiece Paradox has plenty of its own merits & is equal in quality to its predecessor. Boals shine with his trademark skyscraping vocals & high notes that gives the vocal arrangements a more dramatic, varied feel.   Dec 2, 2022

Angel Dust was formed 1984, but never got the attention and respect they truly deserved. "Into the Dark Past" album contains great Speed/Thrash Metal. After the intro, the fast guitar riffs comes with some killer solos, overall both guitarists make for a excellent guitar work. Drums are very fast on this album and gruff vocal completed the whole album.   Dec 1, 2022

Hear 'n Aid was a charity record recorded by ensemble of 40 Rock & Metal musicians, organized by Ronnie James Dio, Jimmy Bain and Vivian Campbell. They recorded the single "Stars" together, the rest of the compilation album was filled out with eight other tracks included live tracks by Kiss, Motörhead, Dio, Accept, Rush, Scorpions, Y&T and a studio recording by Jimi Hendrix. Proceeds from the album were used to raise money for famine relief in Africa.   Dec 1, 2022

"The Final Countdown" is the third studio album by Swedish rock band Europe which has commercial success and reaching high positions in charts worldwide. It is the first album to feature keyboardist Mic Michaeli & drummer Ian Haugland. Five singles were released from the album: "The Final Countdown", "Love Chaser", "Rock the Night", "Carrie", and "Cherokee." Album sounds great, rhythmic, even modern beyond its years, but it's also very commercial.   Dec 1, 2022

music on "Designation" is fast, unorthodox Thrash/Death Metal with aggressive voice and crushing riffs.   Nov 29, 2022

"Made of Pain" album is strongly influenced by old Sepultura, however, it contains portion of good & quality ideas. Music on album brings gratifying moments for those who gave themselves effort of listening to a Thrash/Death Metal band, which was known mainly in the Eastern bloc of Europe mostly in the underground.   Nov 29, 2022

"Twinaleblood" is quite an unbalanced album. It contains songs that are excellent, but also pieces that would be more suitable for a demo recording. Fortunately, there are more successful songs. The album goes through several styles from Doom/Gothic Metal to Alternative Rock. Both guitarists took care of the vocals, with one voice being better and the other weaker.   Nov 28, 2022

Tracks on Helloween’s album My God-Given Right are fairly quick, catchy, fun-loving and heavy, while there’s no experimentation, or anything out of the ordinary. It is a safe release that doesn’t test new waters or push any boundaries. That's why it should be enjoyed. Relax, turn your brain off and sing loud along with this great band.   Nov 27, 2022

"7 Sinners" is collection of powerful Melodic Power Metal anthems with more modern guitar tone, which will stay in your head as long as possible. I think the first thing to hit you about this album is so obviously the heaviness of the rhythm section, the weight of the guitars & the heavier and more muscular tone. It is a great album.   Nov 27, 2022

Many people condemned this album already before it eventually came out. "Keeper of the Seven Keys: The Legacy" divided listeners into those who appreciate and like the album and those who find fault with it, either from the position of the title or the music. Personally, I expected a lot from the album and I am delighted with its result. The tracks are fresh, inspiring, with great technical & melodic guitar playing, soaring vocal lines and most diversified part of the legacy.   Nov 27, 2022

"High Live" was recorded during the promotional touring for "The Time of the Oath" album and offers good live performance and fusion with the crowd's vibe. All Helloween fans should own this.   Nov 27, 2022

United Alive is one of the best metal live releases ever , that is surely worth everyone’s time & is a must buy for Helloween fans and metal fans in general. A great reunion tour with Michael Kiske and Kai Hansen.   Nov 27, 2022

"Dis Morta" is combination of the bands’ first two albums ("World Circus" & "Think This"), only wrapped in a modernized, sometimes sterilely abrasive cloak. These two albums are different from each other & Toxik evidently didn't want to alienate fans of either of the two. The band old fans should be happy all over, since it is a look back at a glorious past period of Technical Thrash & Speed Metal.   Nov 26, 2022

"Days of the Lost" by new metal band The Halo Effect doesn’t really break any new ground, but it's good. Most songs are reminiscent of classic material by In Flames and Dark Tranquillity, which are former or current bands of individual members & nothing strays too far from the path that was set a long time ago. Which is something they’re definitely entitled to, given that they invented and innovated this particular musical style.   Nov 26, 2022

Somewhere Far Beyond is a dark, aggressive Speed/Power Metal masterpiece with great production. The songs sound beautifully clear and yet very powerful. The atmosphere that Blind Guardian created in this album by using acoustic guitars is in a magisterial way, they don’t abuse of them, but only appear to emphasize the mood of the album.   Nov 25, 2022

Imaginations from the Other Side was Blind Guardian's biggest departure at the time from their original Speed Metal roots. The songwriting on the album is absolutely superb, despite going in different direction, than we were used to. The synths and big choruses were gaining prominence, as was an increasing shift towards Power Metal.   Nov 25, 2022

This album was more powerful, raw and faster than other German Speed/Heavy Metal bands, yet so much more melodic and dynamic than average German Thrash band. Blind Guardian perfectly fell in between everything there was to like about German metal creating their own niche of raw Thrash/Power Metal with the extremely recognisable voice of Hansi Kürsch. The production job was good enough for its time.   Nov 25, 2022

I think this is Blind Guardian's best album. Without a doubt. Each song has strong ideas that instantly draws you in, and the choruses' are so anthemic that as soon as you learn the words you will be singing along to them to.   Nov 25, 2022

"DMDS is an important piece of Black Metal history as the style of the music here helped to define black metal as distinct from other forms of 90s metal. Music is fast, furious and frenzied, but from my point of view the songs are too repetitive. In my opinion, Attila was the weakest link in an album that could only be considered mediocre. I think that this album is too overrated. The scandals and tragedies that accompanied its creation make it a cult.   Nov 25, 2022

From start to finish, Coma of Souls is one of the greatest Thrash Metal albums ever. This is a must-have for anyone who claims to have any interest in Thrash. Petrozza’s vocals are outstanding, with him spitting, snarling and screaming like his life depended on it. Ultra-heavy, blazing riffs with shredding solos combined with crushing bass licks and scorching drums make this one vicious recording.   Nov 24, 2022

This album is near perfect, it's heavy as all hell, there is no filler and almost no throw away riffs/lyrics. If you’re not headbanging violently by the first song, there is a strong possibility you’re wearing a neck brace. Little haunting intro to the title track soon gives way to vicious thrash riffing by the guitar duo of Max and Andreas, and those two don’t stop with fast and cruel riffs until the very end.   Nov 24, 2022

Morbid Angel were one of the early pioneers of death metal. Massively influential both for their style and playing ability, they are undoubtedly legends of the style. But I've just never been able to really connect to their material that much. For me, it's just a decent album.   Nov 24, 2022

Gutter Ballet is a breaking point in Savatage's career, because it is quite different than their previous releases, which were US Power/Heavy Metal. This album is more piano and orchestra orientated, with melodic, melancholic, dramatic and innovative parts. It's even maybe slightly progressive for that time.   Nov 24, 2022

This album offers fast riffs in style of Speed/Heavy Metal & most excellent vocals by Tony Moore. Moore is often regarded as one of Riot's finest, if not the best one they ever had. It’s a long album, but there’s never a single boring moment on it. What may be for someone bit unnerving is, that there are little interludes between each song.   Nov 24, 2022

ThunderSteel was a comeback album after the previous breakup of the band. Apart from the guitarist Mark Reale, the other three members were new. This was Riot's first foray into the Speed/Heavy Metal genre and their efforts were astounding. This is a piece of metal history that demands to be listened to.   Nov 24, 2022

Greater Art has beautiful cover, some good musical ideas in style of Doom Metal, but the weak point are the vocals of Daniel Brennare. If there were added a better quality vocals, the rating would be definitely much higher. Fortunately, he worked on himself on later albums.   Nov 23, 2022

Compared to the other works by Lake of Tears, the heavy guitars are much more pronounced on here. The heaviness of the guitars and drums, they nearly crush your skulI. I consider Headstones to be one of the band's best albums.   Nov 23, 2022

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.   Jun 7, 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

음 저번 ep보다 안좋다는 평이 많은데, 난 오히려 훨씬 좋게 들었다. 지난 ep처럼 어중간한 메탈코어보다는, 이 앨범이 BMTH만 할 수 있는 음악이라는 생각이다. 코어와 일렉, 팝 등 다양한 스타일이 마구 믹스되었지만 모든걸 BMTH식으로 풀어낸, 앨범 단위로 듣는 재미가 있는 앨범.   May 31, 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

아무리 구글링 해봐도 이만한 앨범 없더라.   Jun 6, 2024

서정적인 사운드가 내 가슴을 쥐어 짜는 듯...은근 중독성 강한 멜로디와 Laihiala 보컬...   7 days ago

수많은 아류 밴드들을 만들고 핀란드식 멜데스를 정의한 작품이다.   6 days ago

정말 수수한 스타일의 음악인데 들으면 들을수록 빠져들고 알수없는 중독성이 있다.   5 days ago
