Over the last four years this album has grown and grown in impact. It's safe for me to state it's been my favorite of theirs for over a year now. Yeah, I would prefer if it had more melodic vocals, but the singing that's there doesn't lack emotion or passion. Monumental.

My only beef with this record is the same as I have with Saor's new one: it seems a track or two short
of completion, and masterpiece-ity....A year has passed and I've come to the conclusion I was dead
wrong.

Loudness Disillusion
Put into temporal context (early 1984), it's obvious Akira and company weren't copying anybody. The blend of thrash and hard rock with some dashes of prog (see "Esper" and "Butterfly" in particular) sounded really fresh, and still kicks heaps of ass. I first heard this in '85, and it's remained in high esteem ever since.

This record is sure to land in my Top 5 of the decade. It stirs my emotions in a very real way. And I'm only about 1/50 Scottish.
Saor Forgotten Paths
This would be a blazing 5.0 if it weren't 20 minutes shorter than Guardians.
Scorpions Fly to the Rainbow
Shape of Despair Monotony Fields
Shiner Starless
Slumber Fallout
Soen Lykaia
Another one of those albums that has only grown in impact and stature over time. Guitarist Marcus Jidell gave them something their other (not bad) albums lack.

Stomb The Grey
Absolutely incredible. Clearly informed by djent, doom, and progressive metal, the songs are varied and differentiated yet have a focused sound. There is a strong cinematic quality to the album, sounding like a soundtrack for some very dystopic sci-fi. There are no vocals or guitar solos, but plenty of enormous riffs and melodies that range from spooky to horrific to bludgeoning. Excellent production also.

Violet Cold Anomie
Violet Cold Magic Night
As nearly all his music does, this album touches me much more deeply now than it did six years ago.
Violet Cold Sommermorgen (Pt. II) - Joy
The best of the three. This one even has a few stand out tracks: Time to Tango, Altitude, and Penguins Commit Suicide.
Voivod Phobos
Voivod Angel Rat
Voivod Dimension Hatröss
Voivod The Wake
My initial impression was -Whoa-. The strongest Voivod album since Nothingface. I might be pushing this up a half notch in the coming weeks.
While Heaven Wept Fear of Infinity
That first track is outstanding. The cuts in the middle maintain a very high standard. The only one that doesn't really hit me is "Saturn and Sacrifice". It doesn't suck, but it's a slight step down. The final song...Is it schmaltz or pure, true passion? I can't listen to it without tearing up. When metal breaks you down, it's monstrously powerful.

Anfel The Ghosts of Lonely Destinies
Gothic symphonic post-doom metal, quite melodic and energetic in nature. I have the instrumental edition, which would make a wonderful cinematic soundtrack. There are two other versions of the album, "piano" and "sympho & piano". The piano is quite dominant on the version I have. Composer/multi-instrumentalist Denis Lobotorov has an impressive discography. I'll add other albums as I acquire them.
Anfel Heart of the Black Queen
Some of Denis Lobotorov's heaviest material. Still post-melodeath, though with an even darker and doomier feel than his other works.

Peter Murphy Lion
I'm not familiar with all of Murphy's solo oeurvre, but I am a fan of a number of his recordings (both solo and with Bauhaus). Consequently I evaluated this record on its own merits, rather than comparing it to previous efforts. "Lion" has dark, heavily textured songs with powerful vocal performances. Youth's production is deep and rich. A very satisfying album.

Doesn't have the film noir feel of their previous full length that I really dig, but ALL the irresistible heavy grooves are there, as well as the unpredictable structures and guitar leads. Not the least bit disappointing.

Instrumental, alternative, post-metal from Paris. A quote from their bandcamp page: "Chasm is the story of a civilization at the edge of collapsing. Human void or geologic fault, one falls into it all hoping for a sign. We follow their journey through the songs, falling with them, surviving cataclysms, praying for some help, interpreting the omens until we strand at the end of the path."

Hmm, my opinions shift over time. They totally abandoned the doom metal elements I really liked about them. Didn't sit well with me at the time, but now I don't mind. This is actually a very pretty record.
Anfel Pain of a Thousand Tears
Rock solid instrumental, post-melodeath lushly orchestrated, but still with some heavy guitar.
Anfel Fragments of Memories
Grandiose majestic cinematic instrumental post-melodeath. Imagine an orchestra during the endtitles of a Tolkien-esque film with metal guitar and drums.

Revisited this album recently and realized there are a number of excellent cuts on it. The record starts off a little weak, but 'Lanterns', 'Aeon', 'Intellect', 'Absent Friends', 'Another Bloody Election', and the related single 'Mass' energize the album substantially.

If you like this band, check out B.M.'s other projects: A Light in the Dark (post-rock/atmo-black), Hiki (light-hearted instro-indie rock with electronic flourishes), and Blurry Lights (ambient neo-classical-tinged piano works).

Dark and enchanting dream pop with a dash of post-rock. Singer Diane Pellotieri has a soothing sweetness about her voice. The guitars are all shimmery. None of the individual tracks floor me, but it's all quite pleasant. It may be a grower.

I wouldn't say it sucks, but it lacks the power, drama and beauty of Biolume Part I and Shards of Silver. His melodic singing here is nice, but meh... I actually like those two preceding synth-based "ambient" albums a little more.

Sadly not as fun and crazy as their first two LPs. There's a strong T. Rex influence, but the songs lack the spark of even Mr. Bolan's weakest material. The opening track "Keep On Movin'" is totallyworthy of Toad's earlier music, but unfortunately the rest of the album doesn't fare as well.

Entombed Same Difference
Ethir Anduin I magen av svart kaos
Another all-instrumental post-black release, though with a bit more doom laced throughout. Guitars are much more dominant than on the previous release, but the music still isn't fully engaging. There are some cool sections here and there, though nothing particularly exciting. I think this guy would benefit from collaborating with another musician.
Ethir Anduin Entombed in the Depths of the Frozen Forests
All instrumental post-black meanderings with a cinematic quality. This album has many cool moments, and even a solid track or two, but at 65 minutes its creators bit off more than they could chew.

By far the most ambitious thing they'd attempted since Point of Know Return. None of it particularly engaging or memorable unfortunately.

With Steve Morse aboard you'd think this would've been a killer. Only the opening track rocks out, and it still fails to deliver any thrills. The rest of the record is competent and bland.

This band jumped from releasing tight little EPs (their most recent one from 2018 absolutely kills) to an hour+ sprawling monstrosity of a debut LP with dodgy results. They work best with 2-4 minute long ragers. Half the album is taken up with unengaging, 8+minute, ugly atmo-black attacks. Fans of old-school 2nd wave stuff will probably like it, though.
