A crazy well made Blackened Thrash record! I love the guitar tone that ranges from crispy Black Metal to full thrashiness, along with the great vocals.   Jul 23, 2015

One of their average works before Jamsie Poo Poo's food poisoning, which I liked because that means less of that annoying fingernails-on-a-chalkboard squealy high vocals. Surprisingly there was less usage of those abominations, so that was good. The title song accounts for 70 points and the cover songs account for 80, so i guessed 75 was a good point to round it up.   Jul 23, 2015

Seriously the shittiest sound you can come up with. Want a good laugh? Try this one out.   Jul 23, 2015

Super high vocals are great when they're poingnant and sharp(King Diamond, Geddy Lee, Geoff Tate, and that guy from 3 inches of blood) as opposed to Labrie-style soft&high vocals which I hate with a passion. And I must say, King Diamond's asinine vocals seem like just the right vocals for this wonderful album about the tale of Abigail. The guitarwork's really cool and pertinent too.   Jul 22, 2015

All the juices: officially removed. Queensrÿche had something substantial going on with the album Operation: Mindcrime. The songs were mostly in-your-face heavy, had strong vocals and were overall very powerful. Now, with Empire, it seems like Queensrÿche wanted some money. They've got them dollar bills by appealing to a broader audience, but heaviness lovers like me abhor their decision.   Jul 22, 2015

I, uh, don't know. I'm not sure about this album. Kreator kinda made a weird turn and came up with this one with a strange looking mantis as the cover model. So, what makes it so weird? It's just so different from what they had done. It doesn't even feel like a ramification. They've planted a new tree. The songs aren't that bad but are far from Kreator's best.   Jul 22, 2015

The last album before their sudden turn of style(which virtually every '80s Thrash band had undergone). And it was amazing! Surely there must be that one weak track, right? Spoiler alert: there isn't! Every song has its own distinctive thrashy values and riffwork and intermittent solos and vocals and lyrics and blahblahblah. One of their best work.   Jul 22, 2015

This is freaking good! I can't communicate the joviality of discovering this great record through an album comment, but this sure is a magnificent one. The crunchy drum sounds and deeply thought-out riffage layouts make the album a rare gem. Awesome!   Jul 22, 2015

Matt Pike, you da best! This band, High On Fire, straight on kills everyone with their bombardment of crazy good riffs presented in a heavy stoner-doom-sludgy fashion. In short: need some good Stoner? Pick this one up.   Jul 22, 2015

Wow, this album is eerie. Not the bad kind of eerieness, though, since Buzz Osbourne does a perfect job on stripping Doom and Stoner Metal to their mere structure, without all the ornamental and superfluous bits. Have my explanation satiated your desire for a description? No? Then I guess you'll have to listen it for yourself!   Jul 22, 2015

Good ol' Heavy Metal. The real stuff. Blackie Lawless was full blown from the very first album. W.A.S.P.'s music is generally really catchy and full of great riffs and vocal parts. This statement perfectly describes their eponymous first album, too.   Jul 22, 2015

This is really your standard '80s Speed Metal stuff. It has everything a decent Speed Metal record needs; pertinent riffs, which go along with persistent drumming and some bass that sometimes unveils itself by tearing through the recticulm of heavy guitars, and nice vocals over that.   Jul 22, 2015

Awww yeah, a very solid Mathcore release! Other than the last track which is sort of dull, the album flows like a flooded river, being all psychotic and crazy.   Jul 22, 2015

Very generic but also fantastic Brutal Death/Slam album. It's basically a regurgitation of what Devourment did for the last decade, but it's nonetheless really good to hear. The songs are all really heavy and does a beating to your skull.   Jul 21, 2015

Yeah well, Mathcore done by Converge is always full on amazing. Needless to say, No Heroes is just as crushing and full of energy as John Doe or You Fail Me. This is an album worth a lot of listens.   Jul 21, 2015

This is fking amazing!! The fact that there is an album this good released in 2015 is kinda baffling. So brutal and fun. I liked the creative, sporadic usage of double layered vocals a lot.   Jul 21, 2015

I haven't memorized the song order yet, but man this is a superb record. It's just so much fun to listen to, and it has lots of exciting moments where you can't but hearken to the song.   Jul 21, 2015

A darn amazing Grindcore record which makes a relentless, crushing 37 min experience. Scott Hull really likes the usage of spoken tracks inbewteen the grindcore tracks.   Jul 21, 2015

I love the crispy Black Metal sound that's sometimes even punkish. This phase of Darkthrone is something that I really like. Rust and Striving For A Piece Of Lucifer are really good tracks.   Jul 21, 2015

The very rudiments of Black Metal were set by three successive albums by Darkthrone, and this marks the last. A more straightforward, raw approach to their music is noticeable. // alright, you know what? I'm re rating this album up 15 points. This shit's amazing.   Jul 21, 2015

This album's amazing! To fully feel and enjoy this album you should blank out your mind, sit alone in a quiet place, put this album on and just shut up and listen. Only after you pay full attention can you understand what the album offers you.   Jul 21, 2015

This 3 track long EP clocks in at around 28 minutes and without the live Celtic Frost songs around 17 minutes. However, Tom manages to give the listeners a full on view of what Triptykon is going for. Pretty good work.   Jul 21, 2015

Kick ass doom stuff. After his departure from Celtic Frost, Tom G. Warrior set up a band whose goal was to continue the style of Monotheist, which was a very successful album. I must say, he did a perfect job on that mission. The music is generally very downtuned and doomy but sometimes excitingly beats on the drum too.   Jul 21, 2015

This album presents so many genres under the name Progressive Sludge Metal. Actually, the The Ocean guys do that all the time. So much versatility, so much fun.   Jul 20, 2015

Woo-hoo! For Labrie vocal haters like me, this album, which has reduced the usage of Labrie's stupidly high & soft-ass vocals is one of the listenable albums by DT. I don't get how this is "Metal", but still, the album shows pretty decent instumental work.   Jul 20, 2015

A Drone Metal masterpiece. There are droning, ridiculously heavy brain numbing tunes atop another atop another, and it's like getting your brain mashed. Amazing.   Jul 20, 2015

The usage of super high but poignant vocals, along with the traditional metal style song approach is darn amazing. The first few tracks are the killer ones, but the songs may sound a bit same as the album progresses towards its end.   Jul 20, 2015

Old Death revival done right! It sounds just like Leprosy-era Death. The vocals sound just like Chuck too! Heck, even the album cover kinda has the same feeling. The songs aren't Leprosy tier good, but if you dig thrashy OSDM than you'll definitely enjoy this bad boy.   Jul 19, 2015

Great work! The cover artwork is very reminisent of Black Sabbath's Master Of Reality. It has two songs; the first one is just your average Electric Wizard song; Jus' vocals over heavy doom music. Then the second song Murder and Madness is kinda, well, unorthodox. The unusual riffs over surprisingly speedy drumming makes it a unique song. Very enjoyable!   Jul 19, 2015

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

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

천재라 불렸던 자들은 진짜 총기가 불을 뿜는 때가 있다. 이시절의 나가쉬가 그랬다. 전작과 너무 다른 이앨범으로 전작에 버금가는 놀라운 사운드를 만들어냈다. 일렉트로니카와 익스트림을 섞어 부대찌개처럼 절묘한 융합의 새로운 맛을 냈다. 이렇게 세기말을 통과했던 이들은 너무 빨리 미래로 넘어갔다. 25년이 넘어도 여전히 미래적이다.   May 14, 2024

이때의 모습을 그리워하는 건 나뿐이진 않을 듯...   May 16, 2024

시간이 지날수록 앨범의 가치가 살아나는 작품. 코지파웰의 드러밍이 기가막힌 글램롹의 좋은 본보기.   6 days ago

Absolute crushing, heavy as fuck!   May 3, 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

개인적으로 이 앨범을 그렇게 좋아하지 않는다. 이 앨범이야 말로 방향성이 애매했던 프로듀싱과 작곡으로 생각보다 안좋네 라고 생각했던 앨범. 물론 메탈 갓이 주다스의 시그니쳐로 쓰이기는 한데 이 곡도 애매하다. 브레이킹 더 로나 리빙도 맘에 안들고 물론 관중과 싱어롱할때는 좋긴 하다고 생각은 하지만 말이다. 75-80점.6번 8번이 의외로 좋다.   May 8, 2024

MR. Dio , He should be in HEAVEN now...   May 10, 2024

very good album by Sepultura. Also, the front cover of Arise is excellent.   May 12, 2024

예측불허의 사운드에 넋이 나가며 회원님들의 코멘트에 적극 동감하는 바이다.   May 12, 2024

20세기의 끝을 알리는 멜데스의 걸작이다. 끝내주는 멜로디 하나로 메탈을 좋아하지 않거나 입문하는 사람들에게도 권해볼만한 작품   May 12, 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

Excellent disc. Despite not surpassing its predecessor, it is a sensational album. The Last in Line is one of Dio's greatest classics.   May 14, 2024

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
