The Xun Protectorate
preview  Khonsu preview  The Xun Protectorate (2016)
level 14 Metal Addiction   90/100
It is a terrific and exotic release. I was so impressed by Khonsu's previous effort. But this one is even better. This album has uniqueness in both sound and structure, which makes it defy to sound like typical black metal. This release has its own peculiarity in a superlative way, not only in terms of musicality but also in terms of the dark futuristic and engrossing atmosphere engulfing the city floating in a stream of stars.   Mar 24, 2023

In Forgotten Sleep
preview  Lör preview  In Forgotten Sleep (2017)
level 14 Metal Addiction   85/100
A promising debut album with decent quality. With the stunning variety in style shown in this album, Lör twists and turns the melodies in a beautiful way that I could barely imagine. But, Lör's experiments in some tracks sound somewhat rough and abrasive. Btw I would recommend this album to the people who love to listen to the great blend of progressive, power and folk metal.   Mar 23, 2023
Kénôse
preview  Deathspell Omega preview  Kénôse (2005)  [EP]
level 14 Metal Addiction   90/100
This album comes close to pure chaos and yet it doesn't touch the chaotic feeling that they mastered with their later release, Fas. I think this EP is kind of the beginning of a new musical path for the band.   Mar 22, 2023

Sorrow and Extinction

A great traditional doom metal album. I felt like I was doomed when I listened to it for the first time. I love the mystical and calm atmosphere of this album.   Mar 22, 2023
Back to Times of Splendor

A fabulous prog-metal album. Highly recommended to the fans of BTBAM and Opeth.   Mar 22, 2023
I AM. Deathless
preview  Ethereal Riffian preview  I AM. Deathless (2016)  [EP]
level 14 Metal Addiction   80/100
It is a decent stoner metal EP with the overflow of shamanistic spirituality.   Mar 22, 2023

Intelligent Design
level 14 Metal Addiction   90/100
This album is full of fresh ideas that only a newbie with a bright spark can offer. It´s very eclectic music with strong melodies, great vocal harmony and choir work, and a general disregard for genre labels. There are heavy and at times almost thrashy sections on the album, more mellow parts, epic parts, and quirky almost carnival bizarre parts. It´s an incredibly adventurous release featuring high-level musicianship.   Mar 21, 2023

Khaooohs & Kon-Fus-Ion
level 14 Metal Addiction   90/100
In this album, death metal is combined with the method of avant-garde style composition. Some people criticise the sax in the middle of the track, but I like it though. I'd rather criticise that this album is losing its grip heading towards the end. But it's definitely a great album overall.   Mar 21, 2023
Edge of Eternity
preview  Lör preview  Edge of Eternity (2020)  [EP]
level 14 Metal Addiction   85/100
It's quite surprising that Lör still remain "unsigned" from any labels. This EP shows the great potential for them to be a big name in the industry in the future.   Mar 21, 2023
Anthology of Terror, Vol. 1
preview  Axeslasher preview  Anthology of Terror, Vol. 1 (2013)  [EP]
level 14 Metal Addiction   75/100
This EP gives you the slight pleasure of thrashing. It's a shame that it's too short to receive proper attention or evaluation.   Mar 21, 2023
Hallelujah
preview  Igorrr preview  Hallelujah (2012)
level 14 Metal Addiction   90/100
It is a brilliant experimental cyber-grind album punctuated by classical instruments like violin, piano etc.   Mar 21, 2023

Burnt Offerings
preview  Iced Earth preview  Burnt Offerings (1995)
level 14 Metal Addiction   85/100
It is the best album in the Iced Earth's career in my opinion. You may understand why Jon Schaffer sacked Tim Ripper Owens to take Matt Barlow back after listening to this release.   Mar 21, 2023

Forever Advancing... Legions

I tend to be attracted to crazy, eerie, weird and unique metal music. This one is a great album with extraordinary and brutal heaviness.   Mar 20, 2023

Concealed
preview  Augury preview  Concealed (2004)
level 14 Metal Addiction   85/100
Intriguing space-themed metal album. It's quite hard to find out a debut full-length album with this quality. There's no complaint about the technical proficiency of all the instruments the band played and the song-writing capability has been successfully executed with meticulous musicianship. As a newcomer to the scene, there are some shortcomings too: the entire album gets to sound monotonous as it goes towards the end due to the palpable and predictable musical pattern.   Mar 20, 2023

Load
preview  Metallica preview  Load (1996)
level 14 Metal Addiction   60/100
The beginning of the "Alterica" era. The harbinger of being Alterica was already spotted in their previous release in my opinion. This album would be totally fine with the people who don't care whether Metallica stick to the thrash metal style or not.   Mar 20, 2023

I am a big fan of space-themed prog metal. This album would be applauded by those who love space-themed progressive Metal. Some parts of the album sound a bit cringy to my taste, but I can't deny the fact that this one is a good album.   Mar 19, 2023

Blackjazz
preview  Shining preview  Blackjazz (2010)
level 14 Metal Addiction   95/100
Recently purchased the vinyl version of this album even though I already have a CD version of it. This album is that good. It is a shame that Shining have never reached this level of musicality in their later releases. This album is full of deviant and eerie electronica sounds with aggressive industrial metal elements. The intermittent and unexpected dissonances embedded in each track dissect my brain. This album is near my musical "Xanadu".   Mar 19, 2023

An Absence of Empathy

The only thing that stood out in this album is Sebastian Bach's vocal performance. Apart from that, it's just a normal prog-metal album.   Mar 19, 2023

It's a really interesting album because Indukti tried to cite King Crimson, Tool and Neurosis as their primary musical influences. You can sense the musical features of all these three bands in this album.   Mar 19, 2023

Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone
level 14 Metal Addiction   95/100
This album displays the second-to-none level of a mixture of black and death metal with a sophisticated touch of avant-garde approach. The prowess of the songwriting has been exquisitely executed in a jaw-dropping way. All the tracks in this album contain full of undeniably charming elements in a satanic atmosphere.   Mar 19, 2023

This album is filled up with a cold and senseless atmosphere fed up with a simple musical structure. This album is highly recommended for those who love Virus or Ved Buens Ende. Overall, it is a good avant-garde metal album portraying neglected feelings or deprivation.   Mar 19, 2023

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

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
