3rd Phase
preview  Pia preview  3rd Phase (2003)
level 14 Cosmicism   85/100
Good quality on the songwriting throughout. The heartfelt rather soft songs are what usually become the embarrassing commercial tracks for a rock or metal band, but there's nothing negative the way that Pia makes them. I guess it's a rare skill.   Sep 10, 2023

Delirium
preview  Lacuna Coil preview  Delirium (2016)
level 14 Cosmicism   80/100
No offense to Andrea, but I was wishing for more vocals from Cristina so she could achieve more dramatic resolutions in the vocal melodies. I also took offense at some tacked-on orchestral elements. Even considering those complaints though, it's still pleasant music overall from good ol' Lacuna Coil.   Sep 10, 2023
Conquering Magnificent Halls
level 14 Cosmicism   95/100
Great atmosphere and the melodies convey a lot of emotion. Though I wouldn't call it atmospheric BM, it does show clear influence from Drudkh. I'm wondering if their previous albums are this good; if they're even close I'll be elated to listen.   Sep 10, 2023
Permeteg
preview  Zivar preview  Permeteg (2023)  [EP]
level 14 Cosmicism   85/100
This EP starts off like it's going to be peaceful walk through the wilderness, and then agony, blood, & scorched landscapes take over the sound. What a relief.   Sep 10, 2023
Insatiable Thirst for Torment
level 14 Cosmicism   90/100
The combination of that album art, that title, and that beastly old school death metal sound all work together so well. I can see why death metal has so many fans, especially when listening to a band like these guys.   Sep 10, 2023
Festering Grotesqueries
level 14 Cosmicism   85/100
Fun music that is disgustingly heavy as you might guess. Yes the cover makes me think of Garbage Pail Kids. Also, the mascot's name is Drippy.   Sep 10, 2023
Зямля пад чорнымі крыламі: Кроў
level 14 Cosmicism   90/100
The bleak and tragic feel of this album is so overwhelming but also romantic in a perverse way. Déhà on drums is absolutely a good sign. I heard these guys relocated to Poland. I gather life has been hard in Belarus in recent years, so I wish all the best to the Dymna Lotva members in case there is any oppression involved.   Sep 10, 2023
Results May Vary
preview  Limp Bizkit preview  Results May Vary (2003)
level 14 Cosmicism   50/100
Low energy and uninteresting melodies. The lyrics would make an 11-year-old embarrassed that he liked it when he was 10. Also, Fred can't even speak English despite being a native speaker. The sound production is all right. The only passable part is when Snoop Dogg is involved, but not as good as Snoop's regular music.   Sep 10, 2023
Missa Tridentia
preview  Of Darkness preview  Missa Tridentia (2023)
level 14 Cosmicism   95/100
My pick of the day. It is so easy to get into the mood for such a sepulchral, cavernous, Stygian kind of sound. Isn't a lot of the best music in the past year actually very scary? Anyway, this side project is pure genius. I should look into their other bands as well.   Sep 6, 2023
Wet Ass Plutonium
level 14 Cosmicism   95/100
I didn't know these 3 guys were such serious musicians, and it's so uplifting to see them getting along - There's really hope for the world. Anyway, tons & tons of energy here. The bass is insane, and the Latin music and Spanish guitar make a great combination with such progressive metal. Of course the drums are great too. Total class act.   Sep 6, 2023

Where the Light Once Shone
level 14 Cosmicism   80/100
Slightly better than the previous album but I can't quite rank it 85/100. I would if there weren't too many fade-ins & fade-outs taking away opportunities for more ambitious compositions. The positive side is that it's a much longer album, but it didn't feel long at all.   Sep 6, 2023

Good folky fun. Nothing feels corny, which you might be suspicious of considering the genres. I pronounce this album safe for all music fans.   Sep 6, 2023
We Shall Remain
preview  Eleine preview  We Shall Remain (2023)
level 14 Cosmicism   90/100
Very good symphonic metal with haunting tinges of death metal & gothic metal. I was enjoying what I was listening to, and then the last few songs really blew me away with their even greater emotional weight and more captivating melodies. The title track in particular is a real gem.   Sep 4, 2023

Thank you Boréalys for bringing me to my happy place (of despair). I can't imagine any song being any better; if there was more variety in song structure I would maybe consider a perfect score. Also, the melodies really stay with me.   Sep 4, 2023

Very Ministry in style and done super well. Also there's drum & bass. I was in pure bliss for this music. Some might be annoyed by the last 2 'sample' tracks, but they're at the end to make it easy for those who want to skip them, so I'm not detracting any points for that.   Sep 4, 2023
What Hell Is About

I'm so impressed; all the problems that chronically plague metalcore are not on this album. All the instruments are well played, and the clean vocals have a clear refreshing sound. Good job All That Remains guys. I look forward to listening to your music more.   Sep 2, 2023

The Empyrean Equation of the long lost Things
level 13 caLintZ   90/100
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.   May 10, 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

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

Long Live Rock 'N' Roll
level 13 metalnrock   100/100
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

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

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.   6 days ago
