I've found that there's not much war metal out there, but there's still a lot of good war metal. And this album really blew my mind. The chaotic fast parts and the dark mid-slow parts complement each other perfectly. The drumming is so astounding I could barely believe I was hearing it. I can't say enough good things about this one.   Dec 30, 2023

First of all, I really like this music and how basing it on a survival horror video game makes it memorable and entertaining. Some negative points though - the base drops muffle the other instruments for a second or so. Also, some of the voice acting is amateurish. Even considering those downsides, I still enjoy the whole album. The vocals are performed right, and the instrumentation is a blast.   Dec 30, 2023

This grungy and extremely catchy album is Alice-in-Chains-worship, and proudly so, and it's done well. Track 1 just does not leave brain.   Dec 30, 2023

Rather good, and now I'm curious about earlier releases from these stoner veterans.   Dec 30, 2023

Good thrash. There is some grungy alternative metal on here too, kinda following the fad, if a bit late, but it's done well too. Nothing I feel is great, and nothing terrible. Pretty good.   Dec 28, 2023

Almost as good as their 2016 album. There's very good melancholy, and it gets slightly into post-black metal territory some times. Then there's some Spanish guitar. Very good all around.   Dec 28, 2023

I don't care that I've already listened to albums with that same painting on the cover. Why not? Anyway, this is straight black metal done right. Also, people studying Anglo-Saxon get some practice. Black metal fans should not miss out on this one.   Dec 28, 2023

Good bluesy stoner metal with a rough production sound that I really like.   Dec 28, 2023

It sounds like they're playing in a long narrow hallway with sheets of metal covering the walls. Besides the bad recording, this is a very good thrash album with exquisite riffs and tons of passion, and it's all well written. Even the ballad is flawless. Good job by Testament.   Dec 28, 2023

Slightly better than the 2022 album because this one feels bigger and more of a journey despite having almost the same running time. I wish so many tracks didn't fade out; it starts getting annoying. Anyway, the melodies and hypnotic nature of this album are astounding, and the outro track is a surprising treat with it's jazzy character.   Dec 28, 2023

Man, Barker's drumming is fantastic on this album! At some points it's more like plain symphonic metal as opposed to symphonic BM, which must anger some trve kvlt people. Anyway, the symphonic element is good, the Twisted Sister cover brings a smile to my face, and everything else is either good or great.   Dec 28, 2023

It looks like Neurosis gets a lot less attention in recent years, but this most recent album is really solid & pleasing to my ears. Some mid-career albums are better, but I give a definite positive review to Fires Within Fires.   Dec 28, 2023

I started listening and said to myself, 'People should stop saying NIN's music can be so challenging; this is just satisfying music in a rich soundscape.' Then it started to get extremely challenging, especially with how the EP ends, but yes I really loved it.   Dec 25, 2023

Good slam I had the pleasure of listening to. To be honest, I'm surprised this sub-genre has been so good to me lately, but maybe Slam Worldwide is leading me to all the best examples of the style. Anyway, definitely put this on your stereo if those evil aliens come to experiment on you.   Dec 25, 2023

Some of the lyrics and song titles feel sophomoric to me, but the riffs and the flow of the songs are just great, and this makes for a powerful album that leaves a bunch of its melodies in my head for the rest of the day. This is a solo project by a member of Borgne, and here he focuses on a very different type of BM, and I'm glad chooses not to be in a rut. Also, good cover art and a master-tier logo.   Dec 25, 2023

I liked the variety on this album, and I find it pretty good quality, but nothing here is exhilarating like their 1992 album.   Dec 25, 2023

I came here looking for deathgrind, but I only hear old school death metal with film score interludes. However, I liked the whole record.   Dec 25, 2023

This is war metal with some noise as well. These genres are done very well here, so there's cacophony & insanity. I highly recommend this EP to fans of One Direction and BTS so I can howl with maniacal laughter as I watch them squirm in pure horror & disgust.   Dec 25, 2023

This atmospheric black metal project switched gears here and did a general overview of BM sub-genres. It leans toward early second-wave songwriting and tone, but there's a little atmospheric BM, and at some points the synth is used in a more symphonic-sounding way. Not as exciting as their 2022 albums, but still good.   Dec 25, 2023

There's a definite progression in quality throughout this band's career. Though this 2nd album is not perfect (some weak lyrics and song structures in a few places), it's listenable all the way through and it has tons of emotion, especially thanks to Lena the vocalist. Also note that her charisma and vocal power are even better these days.   Dec 25, 2023

Wonderful feelings in this album. Sometimes, I felt like the songs should've been longer, but maybe that's just my preference. Anyway, Widek is a consistent artist, and his guitarwork makes a direct connection to my emotions. Very well done.   Dec 25, 2023

Not the best I've heard from them, but Soulfly's music is dependably so satisfying. Pretty close to Totem in style, but Totem is a bit better. Anyway, I'll still work it into the mix once in a while when I'm feeling like some Soulfly.   Dec 21, 2023

Rather unique and pretty good. For as rich as the narrator's voice is, I can't help but feel that his Cockney accent is kind of anachronistic with that θ-f merger, which some people would be bound to laugh at. Anyway, I can ignore that fact and just enjoy the delightful tale of Armageddon.   Dec 21, 2023

Almost as powerful as the 2022 album. I absolutely love this artist's style. Definitely keep honing your craft.   Dec 21, 2023

Slightly better than Ab​î​mes I. Here it's great funeral doom that shifts into death doom a few times. This adds great variety in tone & tempo and is a major part of why such a long album works so well.   Dec 21, 2023

Beautiful progressive djent. Similar to TesseracT, but no imitating. I really need to listen to this album more. It just makes me want to replay it. End of the year surprise for me.   Dec 21, 2023

I remember when Awake was getting airplay. I thought maybe the band was improving, but didn't care too much. Anyway, it's a pretty good song, and this album as a whole is more listenable than the self-titled. However, I think every song is weaker than Awake, and they're all so similar in tone, structure, and message. Some people don't know the meaning of variety.   Dec 21, 2023

I can imagine people playing the RPG to this. Rather good album.   Dec 21, 2023

Very good EP. Similar in style to Plague, and almost as good.   Dec 21, 2023

군제대 후 이 앨범을 듣고 충격을 받았던 기억이 생생...토비아스의 천재성이 드러난 앨범 바이올린을 전공했던 큰 애가 요즘도 가끔 연주하는 "Vain Glory Opera"   7 days ago

그저 한결같이 아름답다. 이들 최고작이라 해도 무관.   Apr 4, 2024

레드제플린의 천국으로 가는 계단과 함께 고딩때 많이 즐겨 즐었던 앨범이다.... 특히 기타 소리가 너무 감미로웠다....   Apr 6, 2024

퀸 앨범 중 a night at opera와 더불어 제일 좋아하는 앨범이다. 메탈 팬도 들으면 생각보다 센 곡도 있다. 1LP 버전들은 길이 때문에 2, 5,10,11이 줄어서 들어갔다. 총 53분이면 음질에 영향받을 것 같지 않은데 말이다. 그래서인지 2015년에 2lp 버전도 발매했다. 1,12 진짜 좋고 12번 같은 경우에는 종종 락 보컬들이 커버하는 영상을 많이 볼 수 있다.   Apr 6, 2024

인플레임스의 마지막 명작   Apr 6, 2024

짧지만 아주 강력하다   Apr 12, 2024

Personally, I have always liked Sonata Arctica, and the new album is one of the best that the band has released in the last 10 years.   Apr 13, 2024

아름답고 부드럽다. 복잡한 구성의 멜로디가 유려하게 이어져 빗물처럼 시냇물처럼 아름다운 흐름을 이루어내고 있다. 음질과 드럼의 아쉬움을 제외한다면 최고의 앨범이다. 88점.   Apr 13, 2024

블랙모어가 딥퍼플에서 나와서 좋은 것은 rainbow식 음악도 들을 수 있게 되었다는 점이다. 아주 아주 특이한 감성을 갖고 있는 사람이다. 아주 헤비한 락이면서도 부분 부분 포크적인 느낌도 있고 쓰잔함도 갖고 있다. 당대의 3대장하고는 다른 맛을 느낄 수 있다. 1,4,6이 대표곡. 3번은 quatarmass 9번은 yardbirds 커버곡이다. 희한하게 LP의 양면 라벨이 바뀐 것도 있다.   Apr 16, 2024

내가 바라는 프로그레시브메탈 그 자체. 부드러움, 날뛰는 에너지, 서정성, 테크니컬함 모든것을 갖추었다. 드림씨어터 3집과 함꼐 주관적인 프로그레시브메탈 최고작. 94점.   Apr 16, 2024

리치가 베이스를 1–3, 6를 연주했다. 그 외의 스튜디오는 밥 데이즐리 연주. 어렸을 때에는 1,5를 굉장히 좋아했었는데 문제는 5를 라센 시기에는 듣질 못했었다. 지금은 오히려 4번 같은 곡이 애청곡이 되었다. 앨범으로 기준으로도 1,2집보다 더 좋아했던 기억이 있다. 8번은 역시나 디오의 또 다른 보컬 맛을 느끼기 좋은 곡. 디오 재적시의 앨범은 영원할 것 같다.   Apr 20, 2024

3인조 코로너의 전 앨범 특히 2,3,4집을 좋아합니다. 옛날에 3집을 LP로 구입했었는데 속지에 시계, 스위스, 큰 글자로 '그로테스크' 라고 적힌 기억이.. 이후 90년대 중후반에 걸쳐서 전 앨범을 시디로 하나씩 모았죠. 30년간 신보를 안 내고 재결성 후에 아직도 활동하는 것도 특이한데, 그만큼 고정팬들이 많다는거 거겠죠.   Apr 25, 2024

MEGADETH 앨범 중 최애 앨범...첫 곡부터 내 심장은 뛰기 시작했다.   7 days ago

간만에 듣는 수작 프로그레시브 젠트 앨범. 개인적으로 프록을 좋아하지 않음에도 불구하고 리프가 살아있고 복잡한 연주보다는 분위기나 리듬이 강조되어 듣는 재미가 배가 되었다. 보컬이 그로울링이었더라면 취향 100점 짜리 앨범이 되었지 않을까라는 생각도 드는 앨범.   4 days ago

개인적으로 이 프론티어 레이블의 파란색 바탕 앨범 시리즈를 좋아한다. 분명 이제는 예전의 보컬이 아니기는 하나 오히려 터프한 면이 있는 보컬이 특색이라고 할 수 있다. 프론티어에서의 이 앨범이 나에게 엄청 좋은 느낌으로 다가온 것은 사실이다. 7번에서도 여전히 쉽지 않은 고역을 소화해준다. 라센반은 13번 곡 "First Love (Orchestral Version)"가 포함되었다.   Apr 3, 2024

이 앨범에서는 유독 드러밍이 돋보인다. 특유의 다크한 분위기에 육중한 맛도 잘 살린 사운드가 일품.   Apr 4, 2024

드림 시어터는 AI가 만든 음악같다. 어떻게 하면 음악적으로 가장 큰 카타르시스를 느낄 수 있는 지, 치밀하게 계산되어 만들어진 음악   Apr 5, 2024

Paranoid, 그리고 마블영화때문에 더 익숙해진 Iron Man...이렇게 이 앨범은 클래식이 되었다.   Apr 6, 2024

그 놀라웠던 firepower 보다 더 끝내주는 앨범을 뽑아냈다니.... 노장밴드에 대한 존경심이 더해진 가산점이 없다고는 할 수 없지만... 가산점을 더하면 130점은 되는걸?   Apr 6, 2024
