Constellation
preview  Arcturus preview  Constellation (1994)  [EP]
level 14 Metal Addiction   90/100
A fabulous EP. It is their best along with the mighty 'The Sham Mirrors'.   Mar 19, 2023

Night Vision
preview  Yurei preview  Night Vision (2012)
level 14 Metal Addiction   80/100
It might sound contradictory if I point out the unstructured musical features as the weakness of an avant-garde metal album. It would be exactly the same as criticising an avant-garde metal album for being avant-garde. But I think that great avant-garde metal must have distinct, and well-ordered musical arrays hidden in or juxtaposed with ingenious musicianship. Yurei's second effort sounds more orderly than his previous release. But I prefer his first effort over this album.   Mar 19, 2023

Melencolia
preview  Poly-Math preview  Melencolia (2016)
level 14 Metal Addiction   80/100
It is a good dreamy instrumental album created by meticulous musicianship which had been developed through the two previous EPs. I'm still listening to this album from time to time since its release. It's a shame that I cannot find this musicianship anymore in their other works released after this album.   Mar 19, 2023

Hereafter
preview  Hands of Despair preview  Hereafter (2011)
level 14 Metal Addiction   95/100
This album is the prime example of the famous quote, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication". This release is a simple, straightforward, intuitive, and masterful mixture of the heaviness of death metal, the intensity of black metal, the ambience of doom metal and the consummate technical level of progressive metal. Overall, it is a breathtakingly beautiful extreme prog-metal album and a genuine integrator of various forms of musicality and extreme heaviness.   Mar 19, 2023

preview  Shining preview  V - Halmstad (2007)
level 14 Metal Addiction   100/100
I have been a bit disappointed in the Shining's recent works due to their repetitive atmospheric gloominess without any musical progress. But, this album has always grabbed the momentum that saddens me with the tone of indescribable sombre feelings.   Mar 18, 2023

Ani Já Ani Ty Robit Něbudzeme, Šedněme Do Koča, Vozit Še Budzeme
level 14 Metal Addiction   90/100
It is a brilliant work that shows the way to condense the proggy mix of wankery in short-lengthed tracks. If you are disappointed in the !T.O.O.H.!'s later works, Duobetic Homunkulus would be the alternative to fulfilling the deficiency of your extravagant 'progness'. This EP is full of waggish riffs for technical prog fans.   Mar 18, 2023

Moontower
preview  Dan Swano preview  Moontower (1999)
level 14 Metal Addiction   100/100
I have no words to describe the quality of this album. Dan Swanö did an impeccable job on this album. I'm still surprised by the vivid tone of musical brightness in this album whenever I listen to it. This album means a lot to me because it is one of the first albums that made me fall in love with progressive death metal. It's the epitome of brilliant technical death metal.   Mar 18, 2023

The Signal Heard Throughout Space
level 14 Metal Addiction   85/100
Parius have gotten rid of the extreme elements shown in their previous release. Over 2/3 of this album is covered in pure-prog elements. This album has some bombastic and heavenly moments, especially in the ending track. These moments sound like the musical synthesis between BTBAM and Haken. This album will be applauded by those who love space-themed prog metal.   Mar 18, 2023

Delirium, Dissonance and Death
level 14 Metal Addiction   75/100
The only reason why I gave this album a shot was that I was inspired by Yurei's works. This album seems to be a slightly above-the-average album in the category of metal with dissonance features. There are far better dissonantly harmonious works than this album.   Mar 18, 2023

Hard Times Hanging at the End of the World
level 14 Metal Addiction   90/100
It's a bold work as a newcomer to the thrash revival scene back in 2009. The entire album sounds never overcomplicated, and the riffs are simple and intuitive compared to the other thrash revivalists. It's a very attractive album with progressive additives. I highly recommend this album for whom originality is the top priority in evaluating music. Overall, the music quality it contains is brilliant, but the inevitable deduction happened due to the poor production quality.   Mar 18, 2023

Acatalepsy
preview  Acatalepsy preview  Acatalepsy (2011)  [EP]
level 14 Metal Addiction   85/100
What a hidden gem! It has always been tough for me to give this EP the proper evaluation that it deserves because it is not a full-length album, which means that, to me, some tracks might sound like something unfinished. Overall it is a quite unique-sounding EP that may make you have high hopes for their future works. But you know...... it is a shame that they are unable to release their opus in the future anymore due to the disbandment.   Mar 18, 2023

1994-2000 A.B.
preview  Gorhoth preview  1994-2000 A.B. (2005)  [Compilation]
level 14 Metal Addiction   90/100
This one is the summarised work retrospecting Gorhoth's past career before they released the first full-length album. This album sounds like orthodox blackened death metal. Each song may be lacking the uniqueness that you might wish to look for. But the overall atmosphere of this album is the nostalgia for good old-school death metal music. Again, I think that this album portrays the features that death metal fans would love to listen to from a well-made metal album.   Mar 18, 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.   7 days ago
