Another great basic slam release from what's become one of the better known bands in the genre. Although some of the guest vocals are weak and an abundance of "filler" is used to take up time, a solid slam album lies within.   Jan 4, 2023

Great slam album with just the right amount of snare drum and vocals that aren't complete gurgles. Simple riffs complete a well done base model slam tape.   Jan 4, 2023

I don't normally like symphonic deathcore, but the addition of the slam elements with mild symphonics is a perfect blend to counter the overabundance of trendy blackened or symphonic music recently gaining momentum.   Jan 1, 2023

Instrumentally, this EP is great, but I can see how some might find the vocals monotonous. However, I love the "tunnel throat" style of deathcore vocals and there's just enough highs in the vocals to offset the lows. Overall a good listening experience and some of their songs could easily be added to the "End Of The World" soundtrack.   Dec 18, 2022

Huge fan of this band, especially their newer material.   Nov 15, 2022

Fantastic album, but you can tell from their newer material, they had some growing to do when this album was released.   Nov 15, 2022

I'm not a fan of the blackened/symphonic scene, but this band keeps it to a minimum and sounds so much better.   Nov 15, 2022

A well done piece of work as usual. Tom Barber is still one of the premier vocalists out there and continues to create with an almost effortless feel, although it's definitely not an easy task. Guitars are very supportive and carry the songs, but there's nothing out of the ordinary found here. Drums are always solid with Chelsea Grin regardless of the drummer, but I do like the backup vocals from the drummer on hiatus.   Nov 14, 2022

This is one of the better albums released in this genre this year. Certainly a great follow up to their previous, and they're a great band to see live.   Nov 5, 2022

Love this chug style. This is definitely one of the better bands combining slam and deathcore right now.   Nov 5, 2022

Great vocals, but overall a mess of repetitive symphonic songs that follow the same exact song structure. Absolutely nothing of value here for me and it won't be forgotten this band abandoned CJ McCreery because of a fear of cancel culture. If CJ was such a bad person to work with, they could've ditched him long before those ridiculous accusations arose.   Oct 16, 2022

Absolutely awful. One of the worst band transformations I've seen over the years.   Oct 4, 2022

Perhaps the Century Media signing has affected their music, but this is not their best song in recent years. It almost seems tamed compared to anything off of Absolvere or Vital Deprivation. Still one of the best vocalists out there, but I'll be in a "wait and see" mode for a little while.   Sep 8, 2022

Consistently good material. Glad to see these guys are still doing what they do best and they're phenomenal live.   Sep 7, 2022

Absolutely forgettable, like most of their material.   Aug 11, 2022

Heavy music in its simplest form. Beatdown makes for a great soundtrack if you feel inclined to repeatedly ram your head into a concrete wall.   May 29, 2022

Excellent specimen of a band that incorporates several genre styles while still maintaining a "blackened" theme. Great chugging riffs along with orchestral segments and superb guttural vocals make this a winner.   May 2, 2022

Another quality release from a solid band. They consistently put out a great mixture of deathcore and beatdown, and this release proves they're getting better at it as they move forward. Great band for summoning adrenaline.   Apr 23, 2022

Love the chunky sound of this band. Definitely deserves a chance.   Apr 18, 2022

There's a lot of bands that ride the line between slam and core, but this one definitely leans more towards slam. I never seem to be able to enjoy that snare drum and the unintelligible gurgle vocals, but this is a decent piece of slamming brutal death.   Apr 6, 2022

Fantastic piece of work which I never really appreciated until their most recent EP was released and I decided to listen to it again... and again... and again.   Mar 30, 2022

THIS! I love everything about this band. They're unbeatable live and in the studio. This band has been good, but they've officially reached the level of greatness, as far as my scale goes. Do yourself a favor and give this one a listen.   Mar 30, 2022

For fans of the newer "blackened deathcore" sound, this album is a winner. Although I'm not the biggest fan of this hybrid genre, this is a well put together piece of work. Vocalist does a great job and the guitars are almost the technical deathcore style. Drums in this case are incredible, but since I find most drumming impressive, it's hard for me to distinguish between good and great. The added symphonics make for a great atmospheric sound.   Mar 19, 2022

Overall, this is a great album. Unfortunately, I'll never learn to like the highs, but I really appreciate the contrast with the superior lows. I can't pinpoint the problem, but something never sets right with me when it comes to AngelMaker. They don't care what I think and that's fine with me.   Mar 15, 2022

Although I've moved on from the thrash side of the genre, it's great to see LOG still producing great music after all these years. I tend to avoid any sort of clean vocals and the collaboration with HEALTH on this one unfortunately shows. Sounds exactly like every LOG song I've ever heard with a trendy insert of cleans. It does sound like Randy's vocals are starting to fade slightly too. Meh. I'm sure the people who still love thrash metal will praise it.   Feb 24, 2022

I know everyone worships Dickie Allen, and I'm happy to praise his vocal skills and range, but it takes more than that to make a great music, and I'm afraid Scumfuck doesn't deliver that to me. I was never a huge fan and the only time I thought they had a decent song or two was on the split with Hollow Prophet, and even those were blown away by the Hollow Prophet side. I find the guitars on this release to be completely yawn worthy, but then again, it's borderline downtempo.   Feb 24, 2022

Overall, a good follow up album to their debut. Although it has more ballad styled songs than I normally prefer, it's still a very consistent feel throughout and maintains the sound they used as a foundation on the debut. This album will also get played from time to time no matter how old I get, and no matter what genre I delve into next.   Feb 22, 2022

Long before I discovered deathcore, I used to listen to this band all the time. It's just good classic metal and really helped a lot of people finally out of the grunge remnants of the 1990s. I still listen to this album to this day and I don't see a time in the future when I wouldn't. Highly recommended for the college metal vibe.   Feb 22, 2022

If you listen to this album with expectations of hearing something groundbreaking or progressive, it's your own fault for being disappointed. Acranius delivers a hard, heavy style with slam, deathcore, and beatdown traces and it's exactly what they've proven to be their expertise. Although the beginner listener may think the entire album sounds similar, the intricacies are there.You could easily make this your soundtrack to destroy everything in your sight while two stepping.   Feb 6, 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

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

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
