So often I need to thank Blayne from Banger TV. This blackened sludge really comes from a visceral place and what stays with me the most is the inner power inherent in the sound, and that's definitely a counterpoint to the message as you can gather from that truly excellent album cover. Thank you Crust.   Dec 19, 2023

Those vibrations from another dimension like only Escoctrilihum gives us. This album is very enjoyable. There was a fade-out I didn't like, and maybe a couple other of minor shortcomings, but it's still very good music from a prolific and dependable artist.   Dec 19, 2023

This album really astounded me today. The industrial riffs fight to be heard through the dystopian cacophony, and the result is they are even more energizing. I hear some people say this album is challenging for the listener, and it is to some extent, but there are plenty of gratifying moments and adventurous feelings as well, so I just think of it as great all around. Also, it's named after Norway's busiest airport, right?   Dec 19, 2023

Yet another project with Déhà as a member. He's known for funeral doom, and this album is a wonderful example of that. 2023 had some great funeral doom releases, and now we have 1 more excellent one to add to the harvest. Powerful melodies, thick & meaty sound, the ambient element works very well, and the atmosphere is colossal.   Dec 19, 2023

This album deserves all it's accolades, especially in how it contributed to the alternative movement. I give it a 90/100 because some songs are just a bit less powerful than most of the album, but nothing feels particularly flawed to me. An essential listen.   Dec 18, 2023

All the fun of making your granny worry about you. In other words, it sounds like the album cover. Also, it sounds less like a first full-length, and more like a veteran band, but that's just my opinion.   Dec 18, 2023

I liked the 2018 album a lot more, but I'm still highly interested in this artist now.   Dec 18, 2023

The intense darkness and maxed-out adrenaline levels through the medium of symphonic BM was just a wonderful start to a day of great music for me.   Dec 18, 2023

Great hardcore with the true punk spirit. All the thrashy riffing that shows up is really infectious too.   Dec 18, 2023

The dark tone this whole album takes is wonderful. A nice long album, and I keep re-listening to it. This is a good sign.   Dec 15, 2023

Like Limp Bizkit without the cringiness. I don't like the moments where they just shift into famous songs like that Notorious B.I.G. one. I'm not so into hearing all the swears & N-words. Nothing else is negative though. I hear a lot of genuine passion, easily from the vocalist, but I think from the other members as well. A pretty positive experience for me.   Dec 15, 2023

I heard system_failure on the radio, and it piqued my interest. Some aspects of this album are inconsistent, like the lyrics and singing melodies. Some songs are kind of lame and forced, but most are good and a few are really powerful. Some really heavy moments are pretty amazing, even for a guy like me who doesn't favor metalcore. Overall, pretty good.   Dec 15, 2023

Oh hell yeah. This one really brought a smile to my face. Should I apologize to Beelzebub or someone for being too cheerful? Anyway, the frequently tolling bell and the grainy distortion are extremely nice together. It's also one way to stand out in a crowded genre.   Dec 15, 2023

OK, zero metal on this album. I guess it's neoclassical darkwave and ambient. I don't know why it wouldn't be called opera and classical. Anyway, I could feel the musical merit in it despite being a metalhead. It was actually quite stunning for me.   Dec 15, 2023

I think this band deserves it's legend status, but this album for me is good - not great.   Dec 15, 2023

Pretty good music. Bland cover art.   Dec 15, 2023

Too much intro for just an EP, but it still has some really nice music. Will check out more by Demoncy.   Dec 15, 2023

Even if this project is inspired by cringe-tier conspiracy theories, the music is absolutely wonderful. The recording is done in just the right way that makes this sub-genre really exhilarating. Cool use of a grimoire demon in the theme & album cover. I'll take that to mean that natural herbs are superior to pharmaceuticals and don't really care if that's not what the band thinks.   Dec 15, 2023

Pretty good, and slightly better than their 2023 album. Though the music is good, the content of the cover art is not cool.   Dec 15, 2023

Ouch, this was painful. Good parts first - tracks 3 & 8 are pretty good, and track 9 was amusing for just the first time (meaning 'not again, please'). The rest of the album is dominated by sappy songs trying to be sentimental but they're so fake. Worst is that it's a lot of 'boohoo my girlfriend' garbage. All that fake heartfelt posturing doesn't match well with the NSFW bad-boy lyrics & attitude. Overall, failure.   Dec 15, 2023

Yet again I learn about another black metal band that just gets everything right. Straight BM, and it's definitely old school. Recommended.   Dec 15, 2023

Essentially death metal but there is a vein of doom throughout. I really loved it. It's not a long album, but it feels like an epic journey. Great theme, great style, great execution, great album cover, great everything.   Dec 15, 2023

The drumming alone could be enough for a 100/100, but everything else also shows exactly why black metal can be so captivating. The eerie atmosphere, the passion in the vocals, the heavy yet soothing effect of the long songs, and the action-packed composition are all absolute top tier. Late addition to 2023 that goes very high near the top of the pile.   Dec 15, 2023

This wonderful EP sounds as good as the cover art.   Dec 12, 2023

The songs put me in a good mood, and the last track closes the album excellently. Some of the vocal high notes are painful but, beside that, it was a great listen.   Dec 12, 2023

Overall positive, and I like how they stay true to the hardcore punk that metalcore is supposed to be influenced by. I was expecting much worse music, and I was glad to be wrong. The only weak point I can think of is that every song has the same aggressive energy, and that some variety could make it better.   Dec 12, 2023

The heaviness really astounded me. It also switches between many styles, but it always feels natural. The 1st Wave BM riffs were an especially enjoyable treat.   Dec 12, 2023

Their 2023 album is much better, but everything about this one is positive too. Well played. Also there is a passage of death metal for variety. I'm glad I gave it a try.   Dec 12, 2023

Interesting style from these guys, and I really get into it. The vocal style might be divisive for metalheads.   Dec 10, 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.   3 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
