Heir of the Rising Sun

Good music on this epic album. The voice-overs are amateur and corny. Oh well. Still pretty good.   Mar 13, 2024

I loved the ferocious parts, and how this unsettling atmosphere is in all the very different parts of the album. Bear in mind there is a good amount of doom as well here. All good.   Mar 13, 2024

Invasion of Your Privacy
level 14 Cosmicism   75/100
There's lots of great guitar-playing moments and the sound of those guitars is really satisfying. The singing is way too weak, it's just talking in a trendy voice, and the lyrics are too simpleminded, even though the singing melodies are good. All in all, slightly above innocuous.   Mar 12, 2024

100 for the solos. 90 for the drums. 90 for the riffs. 85 for the bass. 70 for the singing. 65 for the lyrics. So yeah, this great instrumentation in songs that don't hold together much.   Mar 12, 2024

Of course Amy's singing skill is amazing. Not all the songwriting is good, and sometimes the instrumentation is just too basic. It would be better without the tacked-on string sections. Still pretty good though. Tracks 10 & 11 were a nice surprise; I really enjoyed them.   Mar 12, 2024

Great melancholic music and everything flows nicely. The vocal delivery could use more variety. Maybe if they improve in that regard they'll break into the elite tier.   Mar 12, 2024

Oh I just love everything on this album. His guitar solos are getting better. You can feel how he's trying to perfect his craft, and how he's getting closer.   Mar 12, 2024

Pt. III: Get In​.​.​. (Enter the Cabinet)
level 14 Cosmicism   95/100
I was hoping it would be even better than Claustrophobic Dysentery, and I was 100% right. This devious work brings us into a completely horrifying nightmare in some moldy room somewhere, but it's also soothing & meditative. I know those don't make sense together, so this is why you need to just hear it. The field recordings used masterfully on this one too. Unforgettable. My pick of the week for certain.   Mar 10, 2024
My Darkness

Unbreakable is a very good song, but nothing else on this album comes close to it. It's the first full-length of the band, so this is understandable.   Mar 10, 2024

level 14 Cosmicism   90/100
Did I become stuck in a Murphy's Law rut? I expected this album not to take the metal seriously enough. Good thing I was wrong. That excellent first track is exactly what I want from doomgaze. Now there's some variety on the album, and it's not like each song is on the same level, but it's good music throughout, and the singer has the perfect touch.   Mar 10, 2024

Liberty & Justice For...
level 14 Cosmicism   90/100
Simple in a way that just makes all the songs work so efficiently, while creating the perfect space for thrash riffing. I prefer this one over Cause for Alarm. Their shows in the late 80s must've been insane.   Mar 10, 2024
The Kvlt of Glitch
level 14 Cosmicism   85/100
Fun, and it makes me feel cool. There's a lot of electronica, and the vocals have a robot effect on them. I can enjoy that formula. Now it's time for Vvon Dogma I to write better material because a more powerful album along these lines would be just fantastic.   Mar 10, 2024

I absolutely love the instrumentation and absolutely hate the vocals; they just plain sound bad and they detract composition-wise as well. Though there is some great talent in this band, I don't ever want to hear this album again.   Mar 10, 2024
Astral Scavenger
level 14 Cosmicism   85/100
Piano & trap beats for an intro to a slam album? Now I've heard everything. He does go too far with the zany clips/samples, but I can forgive that when it's done in the name of fun and when the music is this good. Though it's playful & humorous, the slam is brutal & delectable, and that cover art fits perfectly. Good new project to watch in a vibrant sub-genre.   Mar 10, 2024

Prisoner to Seven Demons

Mathcore & deathgrind, which is an excellent choice by this band because it's as viscerally engaging as good deathgrind, and as technical & as challenging as mathcore should be. It's also a frantic spewing of endless-feeling aggression. I totally loved it.   Mar 10, 2024

Hopiumforthemasses
preview  Ministry preview  Hopiumforthemasses (2024)
level 14 Cosmicism   80/100
The worst I can describe Hopiumforthemasses is that it's sticking completely to a formula that has worked very well for Minsitry for decades, and that the songs are essentially good but could've used a little retooling or maybe just a couple more takes with the intent to push it as far as it goes. Anyway, I was into it the whole way through, and the last track is the highlight.   Mar 10, 2024
Clearing the Path to Ascend

Just beautiful, but I expect that from YOB. There hypnotic moments, and some sludge too.   Mar 10, 2024
Whispers of Ancient Spells
level 14 Cosmicism   85/100
Matthew Bell's Burzum-worship project. This album in particular dunkelheits from start to finish. The 2023 album, Skogshypnos, is noticeably better to my ear, but Whispers of Ancient Spells is still good.   Mar 10, 2024
A Love to Kill For

Kinda deathcore too, and that element brings a very rich heaviness with none of the cringe and phoniness that deathcore and metalcore are often cursed with. If you are interested in those genres and/or mathcore, I highly recommend this.   Mar 10, 2024
The Mirror, My Weapon, I Love You

Zany scrambled insanity as those genre's promise. It's good music, but those track titles are just pure gold.   Mar 10, 2024

리치 블랙모어와 로니 제임스 디오는 할 말을 잊을 정도로 훌륭하고 아름다운 작곡 실력을 보여주고 있다. 100년 후에도 촌스럽지 않고 충분히 사랑받을 만한 음악이다.   Apr 7, 2024

level 13 metalnrock   95/100
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

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

level 13 metalnrock   90/100
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

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.   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
