Album Rating: 1.0

people like it because it's obskure blakk metuhl

When did Drudkh sound like Urfaust?

Holy shit, this album is hilarious. He sounds like an opera singer.

I just listened to Ragnarök Mystiker and I can't help but laugh extremely hard. The vocalist is so gay and the instrumental is so boring. I'm not gonna bother to even try anything else hahahahahahahaha

hahaha this review is excellent.

I can't decide if I want to listen to it because "lolbad" or if I want to avoid it because....well....

Album Rating: 4.0

You just sound totally angry at the band for some unknown reason in the review and that takes away from what you're trying to say.

Album Rating: 2.0

I read the review, and thought something along the lines of, "It couldn't possibly be as bad as all that."



But then I heard it. You really hit the nail on the head with this review.

Yes, yes it is.

slamdunkel

god what IS this

Album Rating: 1.0

I can perfectly understand how this would make someone harm themselves.

"I’m usually not one to go and say an album is a complete waste of time, but somewhere I have to draw the line. It’s not often that I wouldn’t listen to an album even if it was given to me for free, because a band would really have to try to make an album so bad I can’t bear to listen to it."
Funny how you would basically write a review that keeps people off from listening to an album that at the very least is unique and then give Surtur rising a 3.5, thus implying that it is worth anyone's time when in fact one could just listen to tottg again and have the same results.

"white noise"
I don't think this means what you think it does.

"If this does not sound appealing to you, look no further for reasons why not to even give this an attempt to impress you."
Sure, let's give a random guy on the internet the jurisdiction to write a biased blurb that will keep us away from an album.

"repeated violin notes for the first seven and a half minutes"
You can't even tell the difference between a violin and a cello?
Staff member, way to go.

"the orchestra comes back in playing what seems to be an “epic” and “evil” concerto"
Again, I don't think concerto means what you think it does. Also, you can put epic and evil in quotes all you want but that is just another lame attempt at shoving your biased opinion down our throats in the worst way imaginable.

"which has absolutely no connection with the past 11 minutes of the song"
This is flat out wrong.

"It’s basically rinse and repeat"
Something that is unheard of in ambient music.

"I’m not sure if I got this wrong, but I thought that the black metal and the ambient were supposed to be combined into each song, not separated from each other. Maybe I’ve listened to too much Burzum, but that is the sort of message I got from the phrase “ambient black metal”."
Did the band falsely advertise this album as "ambient black metal that sounds like burzum" and I missed it? There are many bands that keep the ambience and the bm separated.

(Over the next paragraph you're back to your biased ranting about how you wish this album wasn't the album it is and instead an album that fits your production standards of enjoyment. The vocals are an acquired taste, I'll give you that. I don't think they were shooting for anything conventional, even by black metal standards so it is rather pointless to say out all those things about "gay men in fields of daisys". Furthermore, listening to their track from the tRoB split will definitely change your mind on the potential this style of singing has.)

"your basic chug-chug-chug riff"
like meshuggah?

"blast beats"
I think you had absolutely no idea what a blast beat is when you were writing this review.

"something countless black metal bands do"
Alright, let me try this myself: "Insomnium use guitars, something countless melodeath bands do".

"There are basically no melodies to be found here"
lol

"but this is where I must draw the line"
Who gave you the chalk?


To sum up, this is your bloated, biased opinion on an album you simply had no hopes with to begin with. Anyone can write a review about an album and make it look bad.
(read the last sentence again, it is important)

You really don't have to log on alts to agree with me baseline

The vocals rule, and there are some great riffs, but their albums are plagued by long ambient tracks that don't go anywhere and sound out of place with the rest of the album. Get the 2012 compilation Ritual Music for the True Clochard, it's all black metal with no ambient tracks.
