Just 16 minutes, but this is one of the best release I've heard from them. On top of that, the theme running through their album covers and lyrical content really gives me respect for these guys.   Dec 1, 2023

I understand what SilentScream213 is saying in his review, but I just love this insane drumming so much in the forefront in the mix. The rapid fury and density of grindcore is not always my jam, but I feel different about this one. Then again, when it's deathgrind I tend to like it more often, so maybe it's also my quirk, but this is intense and enjoyable music.   Dec 1, 2023

These guys surely have their own style. It took me some minutes to realize what kinds of metal I was hearing. This is all played very well, and I loved the feeling of adventure. I also bet many bands are jealous of the band name.   Dec 1, 2023

That album title and cover art are in the best of taste. The vocals are deeper and more gruff than you'll be expecting, but with this album, Zannibal has created a very unique blend of influences, making this black metal stick out from other albums as much as that album cover does. It's also always nice to see albums actually be about something. Well rounded and good throughout.   Dec 1, 2023

Holy &%@#*, that passion coming from all the instruments and the raging vocals. The melodies are captivating as can be. What a top-tier band.   Dec 1, 2023

Who could not love that band name? Major early Deep Purple influences show up here in all the best ways. Fun, playful, and it has good vibes.   Dec 1, 2023

This is beautiful, but I get the feeling that they could now play these songs even better. Anyway, I can't wait to discover what their other albums sound like.   Dec 1, 2023

An easily noticeable improvement since Metawar. Everything is good or great, especially the songs with Mick Gordon. Very enjoyable, and I love their style.   Dec 1, 2023

So full of power, energy, & attitude. With this kind of tech thrash, you can really hear how exact and nuanced their playing is. That last Beatles cover grabbed my attention so well that I couldn't even recall the original's sound until the album ended. Truly excellent music by Coroner.   Dec 1, 2023

This is not really the kind of metal I want to listen to, but it's totally apparent that these veterans are still inspired to create new music in their pummeling style. You can hear it on the recording. A very impressive album.   Dec 1, 2023

Darker & angrier than you might think by looking at the cover art. It's an interesting & unique mix of styles.   Dec 1, 2023

Heavy metal & hard rock on this one. Half of the time I feel little effort with uninspired singing, cliché lyrics, and brainless commercial instrumentation. The ballads feel embarrassing. Other times it's better and I can hear how the members are really quite skilled, but nothing on this is very good.   Nov 29, 2023

I always enjoyed Shame (and it's short-film style video). The surprise here is that the album maintains that level of quality for more or less the whole album, with engaging vocal melodies and exciting rocky compositions. The last track repeats the same line way too much. Some middle songs rip off NIИ's Pretty Hate Machine, but not so well. The vast majority was really enjoyable.   Nov 29, 2023

There are a couple of good moments, and track 5 is decent, but the rest is weak & aimless. Too crowded with trap beats. A lot of it lacks emotion & tension. They cover Björk's masterpiece Army of Me and, no surprise, can't even come close to the original. Why try the impossible? Overall, slightly negative but not terrible.   Nov 29, 2023

I remember hearing Open Your Eyes on 120 Minutes. Interesting how much variety is on this album. I wouldn't have guessed I'd hear funk, soul, rap metal along with grungy nu metal. Also the singer is great, but there are some weak points. The doubled vocals get annoying. One song ends with way too much feedback. Not perfect but still rather fun.   Nov 29, 2023

Every week there is so much great black metal. The guitar melodies on these songs really stole my heart. Absolutely my pick of the day.   Nov 29, 2023

I was trying to catch up with recent black metal today, a task which is categorically impossible. Well this album's beauty really captivated me. At times it's atmospheric, and at all times it's well done. Recommended.   Nov 28, 2023

This album is making everybody's lists and..... it's as good as they say! Deeply melancholic melodic BM that works in all kinds of surprises, but they all fit perfectly. Now I see they have 3 earlier albums and I feel pretty lucky. Throne of the Lunar Soul is highly recommended.   Nov 28, 2023

I was actually reeling and saying 'holy %#*@' to myself long after listening to this wonderful album that came as a surprise release for me today. There's doom at some parts and I think I hear Drudkh influence in a couple parts. The vocals are pure vitriol and there is exactly enough of them. The doomy parts are delectable and the blackened guitarwork is bleak and terrifying. My pick of the week, and best straight BM release so far this year.   Nov 25, 2023

It's back to atmospheric black metal for part 3. Truly excellent songwriting, and the album stays interesting and tight for 2 hours. Midnight Odyssey's trademark mix of sympathetic & evil melodies. Ambitious and a pleasure to hear.   Nov 25, 2023

There are many great moments, but the track that really astounded me was Combustion. Here & there I did find some bad lyrics and when there's an effect on the voice it detracted from my enjoyment. Little problems. Overall very good.   Nov 25, 2023

Wow, this album takes time to build to huge climaxes that are fully worth the minutes. This band should definitely be on everyone's radar.   Nov 24, 2023

I'd heard some singles form them but I never found them so good. This album was a pleasant surprise because it was better than I expected. There are lots of great moments such as the guitar melodies in track 6. The clean singing is better than the harsh singing on this album. Overall good.   Nov 24, 2023

For some moments it feels kind of haphazard & clumsy, but mostly this is well-crafted music with some intense icy & depressive moments. A very good one-man band, and that album cover is pure bliss.   Nov 24, 2023

Ooph. I can really get lost in the ultra dense darkness & heaviness, so for some moments the rich melody in these songs soaks into my mind subliminally. This band deserves a lot of respect. They stay 100% true to their style while also achieving real proficiency and nuance to the simple-seeming song structures. Very well done, Archgoat.   Nov 24, 2023

Slightly better than Back Home because the compositions are better and the vocals are less forced. Track 5, Angel, is painfully corny though, and the last track is just a bit corny. Next time I'll only skip track 5. All in all, still rather good.   Nov 24, 2023

A soulful album. I wanted to find some good blackened doom and I discovered epically emotional blackened doom. The band is on hold, but many of the members are in a new project, so I definitely have a lot to catch up on.   Nov 24, 2023

The best part of my industrial Tuesday. The mood and atmosphere just astounded me. This album is bleak, disturbing, & dangerous. I'm really glad I found out about this artist.   Nov 22, 2023

Whoever listens to this becomes a powerful warrior, pumped up & ready to fight. The crafting of the riffs and electronic elements is really thoughtful while still being visceral. I loved this and look forward to listening again, hopefully soon.   Nov 22, 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.   7 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   5 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
