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

Beautiful mix of post-hardcore and post-metal. There is such nice sadness in the guitarwork. Harsh & clean vocals both work well. Totally solid record.   Dec 21, 2023

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

군제대 후 이 앨범을 듣고 충격을 받았던 기억이 생생...토비아스의 천재성이 드러난 앨범 바이올린을 전공했던 큰 애가 요즘도 가끔 연주하는 "Vain Glory Opera"   Apr 25, 2024

전작 "Cowboys from Hell" 에 이은 연타석 홈런...얼터가 판치기 시작하던 때 꿋꿋이 버텨 준...   Apr 30, 2024

very good album by Vanden Plas. These prog metallers know how to make a good album.   May 1, 2024

DT와 더불어 가장 활발한 활동을 하는 스틸 얼라이브 프록메탈 밴드로 영국의 대표밴드 스래쉬홀드와 더불어 독일을 대표하는 프록메탈밴드로 아주 훌륭한 연주력과 작곡력이 이번 앨범에도 퍼포먼스에 광을 내고 있다   May 3, 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

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

올해의 명반!   Apr 28, 2024

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.   Apr 29, 2024

카르카스 앨범 중 최고 명반이 아닐까!!!   Apr 30, 2024

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

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

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

밀레니엄 시기의 소위 '팝수성' 가득한 사운드로 청자를 타격한다. 특기할만한 것은 그 타격 지점이 RATM도, Limp Bizkit과 Korn, Slipknot도 내딛지 않았던 공간이라는 사실.   7 days ago

군터 베르노의 부재가 오히려 곡의 diversity가 증가하는 방향으로 귀결되어 조금 변화된 VP를 느낄수있다. 그 와중에 코어는 전혀 흔들리지 않고 너무나 탄탄한 장르의 전형을 보여주는 뛰어난 앨범이다. 이들 특유의 늘어짐이 가끔은 지루하기도 하지만, 이정도 내공에 이정도 앨범을 찍어내는 이들은 결코 없으므로, 이제 당연히 명예의 전당에 입성해야 한다.   6 days ago

very good album by Sepultura. Also, the front cover of Arise is excellent.   5 days ago

20세기의 끝을 알리는 멜데스의 걸작이다. 끝내주는 멜로디 하나로 메탈을 좋아하지 않거나 입문하는 사람들에게도 권해볼만한 작품   4 days ago

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.   4 days ago
