| '68 Two Parts Viper | 3.5 |
| '68 In Humor and Sadness | 3.5 |
| ...and Oceans Cosmic World Mother | 3.0 |
| One of Light, One of Soil rules. I wish the album followed that lower tone more often, it would give it a nice balance... other wise, and although the industrial aspects fit nice here and there, I feel a little too one sided and annoying high/screechy.I really dig the closer too, don't ask me why X) |
| ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead X: The Godless Void and Other Stories | 3.0 |
| After the The Opening Crescendo (lol - its really the title), the first proper track is really rbad. For me this starts to heat up somewhere in the middle (Children of the Sky maybe?) and ends rup pretty ok. It's somewhat a dated sound but some prog aspects keeps it interesting and scratch rsomewhat of an old (late 90's) alt rock's hitch...if you have one. |
| 1914 The Blind Leading the Blind | 3.5 |
| This looks like war actually, in a very literal manner...no allegories, straight fw war. It sounds more modern than the 1st WW though. The track Passchenhell with the violin is pretty sweet... |

| Abduction (UK) Black Blood | 4.0 |
| Abigail Williams Walk Beyond The Dark | 4.0 |
| The melodic vocals are very well pulled for this type of BM...whata surprising good release this is. |
| Abigor Totschläger (A Saintslayer's Songbook) | 3.5 |
| Aborted ManiaCult | 4.0 |
| Not as strong output as Terrorvision or Retrogore, essentially because of solos and leads aren't so mindbending as in those 2 imo. Still their new approach inserting BM on their brootal and technical DM brand goes on and keeps me going. They also insert some pretty cool Hardcore nods and hooks. Sven is absolutely diverse and savage - dynamic and theatrical af as always. |
| Aborted TerrorVision | 4.5 |
| Thought I was going to a "normal grind band" but this is so far from it in an incredible way. To rgive you an idea of the sound you got the Cannibal Corpse's grind, but also go from Archspire's rtechdeath, to Pig Destroyer's smashing and engagingly memorable riffs, to vocal delivery like rAnaal Nathrakh. They deliver the full package, from the cover (you really feel the cover lol) to rthe concept, to the actual music. Adding to this is the great concept and atmosphere (created on rslower parts and cool intros and interludes). The theme is slightly politic and speaks about the rmedia influence in Humanity in an horror movie setting. Fave tracks are like 5/6 lol but check rT/T, Vespertine Decay and The Final Absolution. |
| Aborted RetroGore | 4.5 |
The groove is immense with this one. I tried
really hard not to "put like" on every track. |
| Aborted The Necrotic Manifesto | 4.0 |
| Aborted Goremageddon: The Saw and the Carnage... | 4.0 |
| Aborted The Archaic Abattoir | 4.0 |
This time they inserted these "southern rock" riffs and vibe, injecting a lot of Pig Destroyer's
(at times like ETID too lol) riffing groove which makes this right up my alley. It may come off as
bit slower paced than usual for Aborted but they're clearly exploring the "punch" in here. You can
have a full fun time with this one. m/m/ Fave Tracks: Dead Wreckoning; The Gangrenous epitaph and
The Inertia. |
| Aborted Global Flatline | 4.0 |
| Another great release from the coolest deathgrind band. Do the job as always. A bit more formulaic and less surprising than Terrorvision or Retrogore. Fave tracks - Fecal Forgery; Of scabs and boils; Grime) |
| Aborted Engineering the Dead | 4.5 |
| for some reason I can't five this band but they're definitely one of my faves deathgrind bands. This is coming out as my 3rd fave from them and def my fave early aborted. Recd tracks - T/track and Skullfuck Crescendo |
| Aborted Strychnine.213 | 3.0 |
| Its almost as if Aborted went Slipknot at times. Not a bad take...maybe a more poppish/melodic ressay. Its great on its own, not to be compared with other releases from them tbqh. |
| Aborted Slaughter & Apparatus: A Methodical Overture | 3.5 |
| Aborted embracing (melo)death this time and mixing with their brutal drumming style. Just an album to show they are capable of pretty much anything they want...if they want. |
| Aborted Vault of Horrors | 4.5 |
| Absent In Body Plague God | 4.0 |
| AC/DC Ballbreaker | 3.5 |
| Acausal Intrusion Seeping Evocation | 4.0 |
| Acid Bath Paegan Terrorism Tactics | 4.5 |
| Acid Bath When the Kite String Pops | 5.0 |
| This album, in a very unique way, throws in a lot of features from many of my fave bands...seminal as fuck...doomriffing like Sabbath, FilthySludge as Eyehategod, ragey as hardcore should, grunge, nihilistic etc...even more impressive its how classy they throw Death(like) DM on here with audible fret-less bass. Plus the fact you can see bands like SOAD or Slipknot (among many) followed so many of their tunes (and prob their identities) developed here, makes it really intriguing why they have not succeeded. The bassist's death, prob shitty label, and barely legal lyrics perhaps...lost gem, classic. Fave Track - Jezebel. |
| Acid Witch Evil Sound Screamers | 4.5 |
| As you go far in the record you just see these guys fucking rule. Also this "clowny" thing could be a bummer, but in this case helps them not to take themselves too serious, and explore more terrains (which a i dig a lot). Super Fun doom! Perfect junction of the band's name m/ |
| Acid Witch Stoned | 4.0 |
| Acid Witch Witchtanic Hellucinations | 3.5 |
| Acid Witch Rot Among Us | 4.0 |
| A brighter prod. Fun and riffy stonerdoom as heck. That little organ is a cool treat. Psychediathic Swampnosis is awesome. Also Evil Dad (Dad by Dawn) is my tune. Their least DM release. Fun bluesy vibe here and there.r |
| Acoustic Ladyland Living With A Tiger | 4.0 |
| Super Cool. Wasn't expecting it to be instrumental. Sax is organic af, it practically takes the part of lead singer. Brilliant songwriting and "albumwriting". TKS Demon. Will sure get back to this.r |
| Acrimony Tumuli Shroomaroom | 4.0 |
| Ad Nauseam Nihil Quam Vacuitas Ordinatum Est | 4.5 |
| Ad Nauseam Imperative Imperceptible Impulse | 4.0 |
| I now enjoy both their albums differently, but in similar measure. The writing is a bit more dynamic on the debut, giving it more mounts and hills to explore, but they also resemble like other known outputs (spectacularly nonetheless, and what outputs they are!). In here they try to aim for one full sound/ construction...which is this thing...I dig this experiment for what it is as they explained (check their bandcamp description). This is a beast of an album, with a ton of jaw dropping moments, it though requires a very focused listen and when you're fully engaged is when it shines the most. |
| Adele 30 | 3.5 |
| Adrenalized Tales From The Last Generation | 3.5 |
| Though I hold it tenderly, I'm not a big fan of this type of songwriting anymore, but its well done...3...the riffs and how good they all are made the rest of my rating. Kvelertak's, early Comeback kid came to mind. Really cool crossover, fast&rip |
| Adventures Supersonic Home | 3.5 |
| Aenigmatum Deconsecrate | 3.0 |
| Aepoch Awakening Inception | 4.0 |
I thought on 2nd track "if there's more tracks like Delirium of Negation it will be awesome"And it
does! And what great fucking debut! m/m/ my The bass is what make this awesome and special (very
good guitar solos as well). At the same time the "audible bass" makes the whole thing a little
less heavier than it should at times. Also not a big fan of this type of vocals - but that's just
me...this is good techdeath prog but with good songwriting preventing it from being just
"wanking"...I really hope to get back to it X) |
| Aeternam Al Qassam | 3.5 |
| Very good prod. Great balance between melody and brutality. Esoteric arabic/ middle eastern vibe ever present. Its very consistent, but a tad hard to pin the highlights on a first listen. Really dig how this dudes prog here though...songs have unexpected turns, yet very cinematic. |
| Aeviterne The Ailing Facade | 4.0 |
| AFI AFI (The Blood Album) | 2.5 |
| After the Burial Dig Deep | 2.5 |
| Afterbirth Four Dimensional Flesh | 4.5 |
| What a brilliant fresh piece to unfold...imagine insert post gazey rock melodies in the most gritty kind of brutal deathmetal...awesome stuff...riffs are super dynamic in constant change (awesome to more awesome riffs though). I also personally dig how the drums sound here. Perfect mix. If you dig Artificial Brain you can't miss this. Not to mention, in this World's Corona threat, you have awesome song titles like - Spiritually Transmitted Disease or Minimum Self Distance...out of this subject, Beheading the Buddha is a hard song title, not has a hard as the track itself tho m/ x). |
| Afterbirth The Time Traveler's Dilemma | 4.5 |
| Unique gritty sounding DM with postrock/hxc sensibilities...cool modern vibe while remaining faithfull to dm roots...this is my type of sound because its bold and challenges musical boundaries in the purest of forms. |
| Afterbirth Psychopathic Embryotomy | 2.5 |
| Afterbirth Foeticidal Embryo Harvestation | 3.5 |
...I like so much more the demo versions than the EP versions lol drummer is insane!!! Recd
Track - Rebirth. Note: their live show must have been something back in the days...very pleased
with what they became 20 years later though. |
| Afterbirth 2014 Demo | 4.0 |
| Instrumental piece guessing the band's success in subsequent LP's. Cirque Sombre Noir has somerriffs from Eternal Return (from The Time Traveler's Dilemma). You also get the full instrumentalrpiece from Spiritually Transmitted Disease (Four Dimensional Flesh) and Maggots in Her Smile (TherTime Traveler's Dilemma). Amazing stuff all the way m/m/m/ |

I have soft spot for Words, rbut starting to rather some tunes from this one and even Renaissance. Now you know this is pure rblasphemy. Band is sput underloved, but its a damn classic one.r |
| Akercocke Choronzon | 4.0 |
| Akercocke The Goat of Mendes | 4.5 |
| Akercocke Words That Go Unspoken... | 5.0 |
| Coolest solo on Seduced at 1.20'. Shelter from the Sand's beautiful outro. Eyes of the Dawn - prob on their top 3 bangers, with a rocking intro and another simple yet beautiful continuing outro. T/track starts weird with off setting melodics, but then you have this cool synth right before the cool 80's melodic guitars and riffs at the second part of the song - which is somewhat connected rto the next track, that almost reminds a Metallica song (when they were cool,if you ever thought they were X)). Next tracks, brings the riffs, and specially Penance that matches them with these crazy melodic interludes and solos, it became one fave of mine. It's really a mean one m/m/m/. |

| Al Goregrind The Temple Is Burning | 4.0 |
This is amazing uncommon deathgrind. Apparently inspired by starwars, it has this vicious
background organ delivering a certain depth to their music. Also the notion of melody is
really well explored for the genre, but you know...always in a wicked fucking manner...Recd Tracks
- Burnham Chose Well; All Hail to Vader; Rancor Rampage; The Rule of Two; Darth Nihilius. |
| Alcest Écailles De Lune | 4.5 |
| Part 2 was indeed my fave. But Abysses was an awesome 1'40 and the closer is very beautiful. |
| Alcest Kodama | 4.0 |
| Alcest Spiritual Instinct | 4.0 |
| Definitely not focused on building that light vs dark thing they are known for. Perfectly fine by me. Neither those endless crescendos well known for the genre, which I find sometimes to be kinda annoying...just me tho. This fits me the right way. Songs are beautiful...and there's cool riffing this time, in detriment for multi-details/instrumentation m/r |

| Alkaline Trio Is This Thing Cursed? | 2.0 |
| Alkaloid Liquid Anatomy | 4.0 |
| All Pigs Must Die Hostage Animal | 3.5 |
| This shit rocks. Some killer songs. I like the slower ones to, it gets everything sludgier. Cruelty incarnate crescendo song is a pretty good example. Some cool variations and thrash reminescenses. Agree with stiff mid-range vocals critique though.r |
| All Them Witches ATW | 3.5 |
| All Them Witches Sleeping Through the War | 3.5 |
| Def a more radio rock approach on this one. Loosing a bit on their atmospheric side. If you don t mind that, the album is a 3.5. |
| All Them Witches Dying Surfer Meets His Maker | 4.0 |
| Great atmosphere to drive off. Love the production on this one...great bass tune. |
| All Them Witches Lightning at the Door | 4.0 |
| The band tuned on versatility and dynamic songwriting, upgrading what they did on the debut (which is very solid as well). Digging this bluesy vibe. A very atmospheric piece. |
| All Them Witches Our Mother Electricity | 3.5 |
| Allegaeon Apoptosis | 3.5 |
| Potential 3 album with too many tech highlights to be ignored. Found the melodic parts vs harsh parts a bit inconsistent. m/ Recd Tracks - Interphase // Meiosis; Metaphobia. |
| Altar of Plagues Teethed Glory and Injury | 5.0 |
| superb. artsy. dark. tripop BM. Amazing use of textures, this time adding an Industrial vibe to the piece and remaining organic af. Their most sophisticated sound to date, full of identity and uniqueness. In love with it. PUSH RELEAAAAAASE. PUSH RELEAAAAAASE. PUSH RELEAAAAAASE! |
| Altar of Plagues Mammal | 4.0 |
| Drums and Atmosphere are simply amazing! I know its part of the drill but I feel this would benefit even more with a bit more power on the guitars. |
| Altar of Plagues White Tomb | 3.5 |

Disclaimer: This soundoff won't comment the cover. This album slaps. Definitely more formulaic

| Anaal Nathrakh In the Constellation of the Black Widow | 4.0 |
| Anaal Nathrakh Hell Is Empty and All the Devils Are Her | 4.5 |
| Anaal Nathrakh Desideratum | 3.5 |
This is good Anaal Nathrakh but playing quite "safe" witch makes the all thing not much varied.
Desideratum, Sub Specie and Rage and Red great tracks. 2nd part of the album appealed to me much
more. |
| Anaal Nathrakh A New Kind of Horror | 3.5 |
| They're back to the groove. Free porn music, as alternative, heavy, chaotic and aggressive as pop, groovy and catchy. Much better release than the previous one. This band is not be taken much serious in order to have fun with it. Favorite tracks: Forward! and Mother of Satan (Satan!Satan!Satan!Satan!Satan!Satan!Satan!). |
| Anathema The Optimist | 3.5 |
| ANAVITORIA COR | 3.0 |
| Ancient Mastery Chapter One: Across The Mountains Of ... | 4.0 |
| had this on repeat until they took it out from my music app. Here's the bandcamp - https://ancientmastery.bandcamp.com/album/chapter-one-across-the-mountains-of-the-dr-mmarskol. The synths are cheesy af, but also give this sense of retro charm to the songs, that when they riff, they go pretty damn hard. Sweet debut release. |
| Anciients Voice of the Void | 3.5 |
Pure modern, very technical, progressive metal. Everything is clean and shiny with great amount of
heaviness. The versatility on the vocals (whether with "no cheese" melodic, or different high and
low pitch growls) is amazing. Stylistically they also go all-round death, melodeath, prog, bm you
name it...The only setback on this the is the casual excess of "wanking" without exactly being
"outside of the box" (genre issue), but they sure grab you whenever you start thinking that. Fave:
Pentacle (brutal "toolesque" track) |
| Anciients Heart of Oak | 4.0 |
this is more of an easy 4 than the other...the altrock approach on this one (mainly vocally) set
them apart from other progdeathmetal bands. Really diggin this one. The Longest River, Raise the
Sun, Overthrone are the faves m/ its all pretty banging |

| Antemasque Antemasque | 3.0 |
| Anti The Insignificance of Life | 3.5 |
A very interesting approach, simple sad tremolo riffs setting the mood...somewhat of the same
electronic beat along the album gives it a very unique flow. I pretty much like everything but
hoped for a little more variation, as the cool intros of the songs would induce so, all tracks
ending in fade out can become very un-engaging at a certain point. That said the slow track Zero
Point f.e. is very blissful (too bad even with the fade out, seems cut) followed by the relentless
Mourning Soul makes a def highlight. Bonus tracks on re-issue are about as good if not better.
rate is for the reissued version. |
| Antonio Carlos Jobim Stone Flower | 4.5 |
This dude's work is the main cornerstone on Brazilian modern music. So does, and mainly this
album, which is a very jazzy take (no wonder Sinatra got around it). His legacy is even bigger
than this though. Grande Tom. |

| Atvm in my native language (Portuguese) would be literally translated to Tvna, which would be (I'm sure it isn't) the "perfect" name for the the fun they're all having along this whole thing. You can definitely tell their Death worship, yet always throwing multi-genre (tech prog dm rock psy thrash hm) adventurous writing. The guitar riffs and leads are super cool and unexpectedly melodic, but the massive highlights go in fact for the bass lines and licks and for this monstrously tight and insane drummer. Prodwise you can listen to everything and its melodic and beyond playful. Hands down. Sick cover art, sick cool band and debut. |
| Au-Dessus End of Chapter | 4.0 |
Awesome and even overwhelming BM, with some tracks to remember. Great guitars and
variety of vocals, only wished they explore a bit more melodic vocals. Pretty different and,
though it goes hard as fuck is less chaotic or insane as Blut Aus Nord or DsO. A 4 experience

This is what I call the real tDEP attitude. Genre bending stuff. Here's how you start to enjoy
this album: You put it on, then again and again and again...let it breathe...and then again m/m/m/
rproduction is slick, execution is tight, vocals delicious and the mood is perfect throughout the
album. Ethernel Echo is for a fact a killer track. "This is a 5 gents and ladies, buy the fucking
album" TKSDew |
| Azusa Loop of Yesterdays | 4.0 |

Great take of Eastern BM, with some Industrial aspects and a majestic jazzy sax in many tracks,
merged perfectly. These 3 aspects makes this sound very unique. |
| Baleia Quebra Azul | 4.0 |
| Brazilian music has so many good things, that I'm a bit torn between a 3.5 a 4. The listen is very enjoyable , although its indie nature it offers some welcome variety on vocals (fem and male) and compositions that overcomes a somewhat washed psych vibe. There's many "hipster" Brazilian bands embracing this psychedelic sound, based on the classics (Caetano Veloso, Jobim etc etc ect). |
| Ball Like You Are…I Once Was…Like I Am – You Will Never Be | 3.5 |

| Behemoth I Loved You at Your Darkest | 4.0 |
Well this dudes new aesthetic, as long with the fuckin cool solos and overall instrumentation
manage to surpass some simplicity and predictability in their songwriting. Really cool release and
easy 4 makes me realize how special The Satanist is and considering the bump. The only step back
is that I miss the heavy guitar distortion on this one. Favorite tracks: Ecclesia Diabolica
Catholica; Bartzabel; Sabbath Mater; We Are the Next 1000 Years |
| Beherit Drawing Down the Moon | 4.0 |
| Beherit Engram | 4.0 |

| Bell Witch Mirror Reaper | 4.5 |
| Bell Witch Four Phantoms | 3.5 |
| Bell Witch Longing | 5.0 |
| I decided to 5 this until there's another full on funeral doom album capable of dethroning this bad boy right here! Feel free to rec! Make sure it doesn't put me to sleep and it digs has deep in the grave the way every single track does here. This band's melodic vocals are incredibly original for this genre. Tip of Top Bell Witch album for me. |
| Bell Witch Future's Shadow I: The Clandestine Gate | 4.0 |
| Bell Witch and Aerial Ruin Stygian Bough Volume 1 | 4.5 |
| Admittedly floored. Admittedly a shinier production wouldn't hurt... |
| Belzebubs Pantheon of the Nightside Gods | 2.5 |
| Benighted Obscene Repressed | 3.5 |
| goes hard as expected. a bit unmemorable as expected. |
| Benighted Necrobreed | 3.5 |
| Big Aborted vibes here...really fun listen. loved the BM break on Leatherface on this one...they should get serious like that more often m/rrecd Tracks - Psychosilencer; Leatherface; Der Dopelgaenger |
| Benjamin Clementine I Tell A Fly | 3.5 |
| Berlinist The Winter Hexagon | 4.5 |
Apparently this is a project that makes music for videogames ...They came out with this indie
multi-instrumented masterpiece and I don't know why...don't have a clue... |
| Best Youth Cherry Domino | 3.5 |
| Best Youth Highway Moon | 4.0 |
| Bestia Arcana Holokauston | 4.5 |
| This album....Brilliant&Evil Atmospheric&Doomy BDM...4 tracks to remember. |

| Between the Buried and Me Automata I | 3.5 |
| Between the Buried and Me Automata II | 4.0 |
| Between the Buried and Me Colors II | 4.0 |
| Its a statement, they don t care about the fantanos of this world. This feels very themselves and free. It s also very cool how they insert 70s prog worship on this. Loving it tbhr |
| Big|Brave nature morte | 3.5 |
| Bill Callahan Shepherd in a Sheepskin Vest | 4.5 |
| It's as sketchy as organic and sensitive. A lesson on how to nurture and raise happiness. |
| Bill Callahan YTI⅃AƎЯ | 3.5 |
| Bill Fisher Mass Hypnosis and the Dark Triad | 3.5 |
| Billie Eilish When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? | 2.5 |
| After checking the track six feet under, can't say this wasn't a big disappointment, although I can't say I don't have radio fun with "bad guy" either (guilty). I wasn't expecting a Britney Spears 2.0 at all :/ and what dark? where? |
| Billie Holiday Lady In Satin | 3.5 |
| Billy Woods Aethiopes | 4.0 |
| Once every 10 years I check an hiphop album. Guess I was lucky with this one. |

| Birds in Row Gris Klein | 4.5 |
| Bizu Coolective Talkback | 4.0 |
| Bjork Utopia | 2.5 |
| Black Crown Initiate Violent Portraits of Doomed Escape | 2.5 |
| How does something that looks initially so good wears off sooo quickly? |
| Black Curse Endless Wound | 4.5 |
"...that features members of Blood Incantation, Spectral Voice, Khemmis, and Primitive Man." this
statement alone is reason enough for me to 4 it....turns out this album is one 4.5 of a slapper
for a start. Now you tell me, what does the main riff from t/track does to you? |
| Black Death Black Death | 4.0 |
| Black Peaks Statues | 4.5 |
| A lesson how to be multigenre and versatile without losing your soul. Hints of Mastodonlike prog riffs added to their posthardcore core mixing sounds from ATDI, PTW and ETID, even some mathy tDEP (but more accessible than all of these). Vocalist is simply amazing. All these sounds are blended flawlessly and with true own identity. |
| Black Peaks All That Divides | 4.0 |
| Pretty good but def going for a more post vibe here. The album ends up superstrong tho. New fave band to follow here. Recd tracks - Eternal Light; Slow Seas; Fate I & II |
| Black Sabbath Master of Reality | 4.5 |
| Black Sabbath Vol. 4 | 4.0 |
| Black Sabbath Paranoid | 5.0 |
| Black Sabbath Black Sabbath | 4.5 |
| Black Sabbath Sabotage | 4.0 |
| Symptom of the Universe - A prog thrash masterpiece before there's one m/ |
| Black Sabbath Sabbath Bloody Sabbath | 4.5 |
| Although I love the previous one, I sure can tell it's really sludgy rough...this one has the perfect mix, balance and vibe. It's prog nature fits really nice on this fuzzy doom, in a very personal and unique way. |
| Black Sabbath Heaven and Hell | 3.5 |
| Black Sheep Wall Songs for the Enamel Queen | 4.0 |
| Dynamic. Emotional. Mature( yes indeed Simon) and Raw and Honest and Wrecking...and HEAVY AF. Getting the feeling of, whatever went on here, shit got real! Another great finding of 2021. |
| Black Sites In Monochrome | 3.0 |
| Blackbraid Blackbraid I | 4.0 |
| Started skeptic, but this really varied in pace and vocals and really cool bm. Great debut. Don't see any particular indian native american passages per se. The acoustic pieces fit really nice. Pretty satisfying bm overall. |

| Blood Spore Fungal Warfare Upon All Life | 4.0 |
| This guys have got it all to succeed. 3 amazing tracks with the filthiest vocals m/ Gonna store my 4.5 for the LP - https://bloodspore.bandcamp.com/album/fungal-warfare-upon-all-life |

| Bloodbath Grand Morbid Funeral | 3.5 |
| Bloodbath Resurrection Through Carnage | 4.0 |
| Bloodbath The Fathomless Mastery | 3.5 |
| Bloodbath The Arrow of Satan Is Drawn | 4.0 |
| Let me start this way. I'm gonna be a father next year and this cover gives the creeps! Though the risk of falling into blandness is constant, you can go from start to finish and always find awesome deathgroove, cool riffs and crazy flawless solos, all in one single noise doomy mix. The second listen was even better and more distinguishable. Fleishmann, Deader, Only the Dead Survive. |
| Bloodbath Survival of the Sickest | 3.5 |
| Bloodhound Gang Hooray For Boobies | 4.5 |
| Bloody Hammers Songs Of Unspeakable Terror | 2.5 |
| Honestly, this band seems to have everything except the talent (beyond the average). Some cool ideas aside, pulling off Weezer vibes and Green Day Riffs to the goth vibe they try to achieve here is really off-putting, making them fall in the radio rock arena, and they sure are no Misfits. Vocals are frankly meh. Love the damn cover art on all albums tho. |
| Blue Oyster Cult The Symbol Remains | 3.0 |
| Blue Oyster Cult Fire of Unknown Origin | 4.5 |
| I may have some shitty taste but this has nothing to do with ghost (I mean I know what you re on about...but naaaah not really). This is kinda cool tho X/ very well played. Awesome bass. Fave tracks: Veteran of the Psychic Wars; Vengeance; After Dark.r |

| Blur The Ballad of Darren | 4.5 |
| Blut Aus Nord 777 - Cosmosophy | 3.0 |
| Blut Aus Nord Hallucinogen | 4.5 |
| I think the cover is awesome, however it can be misleading (with the title of the album) when you jump expecting for a psychedelic exp. Haallucinahliaand and Cosma Procyiris though are indeed a cool tone change towards this idea. The album. Its not indeed an immense trip through psychedelia but a very gazey and beautiful BM album, with some true metal riffs to keep you engaged m/ |
| Blut Aus Nord Disharmonium - Undreamable Abysses | 4.5 |
OMG yeah this one reaaaally hits fuck yeah. I am
also a big Hallucinogen fan, but boy isn't this
one bad s bad boy? Really dig the idea of this
being the back mirror for Hallucinogen. |
| Blut Aus Nord Disharmonium – Nahab | 4.0 |
| Blyh Awake to Emptiness | 3.5 |
Solid Full On BM release. Excellent drumming and atmosphere. Slow tempo bass contrasting with fast
drums fitting perfectly, give the sense off brutality and space for some beauty across the five
tracks. Rec Tracks - Don't mistake me for a friend; Utica Crib. |

| Heeey...party a bit will you? There s some nice depths here |
| Bong-Ra Antediluvian | 3.5 |
Full distorted bass and very pounding drums accompanying Bong-ra's heavy dark electronic
atmosphere, providing an unexpected Doom Post piece. No breakcore here. |
| Bong-Ra The Goat of Mendes | 4.0 |
| "The Goat of Mendes was a short lived project combining live guitars mixed with (industrial) dubstep. Before the wobbles arrived period, so to say. Live guitars mixed with Death Metal / Industrial (Carcass, Pitch Shifter, Godflesh) and Dubstep (Scorn, Broken Note, King Cannibal, etc). This particualr liveset was recorded at a PRSPCT event back in december 2008." Taken from bandcamp - https://bong-ra.bandcamp.com/album/the-goat-of-mendes |

| Bron Pred Dverima Noći | 3.5 |
| BRUIT The Machine Is Burning... | 3.5 |
| Bruno Pernadas How Can We Be Joyful in a World Full of Knowledge? | 4.0 |
| Super sweet tunes. Super sweet and solid release! Already knew this but re-listened today and remains fresh. Everybody should listen Huzoor tune at least once. |
| Bruno Pernadas Worst Summer Ever | 3.5 |
| A bit impactless in relation with the debut because of all elevator music...still great though. Embracing jazz a leaving the psych train. |
| Bruno Pernadas Those Who Throw Objects at the Crocodiles... | 4.0 |
| Back to the 70s psych&spacey love boat vibe...merging all jazzy inputs from latest work. Still not as tender as the debut but I think it got it right again. |
| Bruno Pernadas Private Reasons | 3.5 |
| Brutus (BE) Nest | 3.5 |
| Very good and refreshing stuff! Recd tracks - War; Blind; Horde Vr |

| Bullet for My Valentine Venom | 2.5 |
| Buried Alive The Death Of Your Perfect World | 4.0 |
| easy like for Hatebreed or Terror fans. Great fuckin release. The only critique is that's too similar to Hatebreed and everything is too samey...but hey its fuckin hardcore, go fuck yourself X) |
| Buried in a Womb Epigenetic Vulnerabilities... | 3.5 |
| Buried in a womb - Members - Glasersfeld - Everything. Really fast and outrageous BM with a clear punk vibe to it. Production is a bit too lowfi for me(thought every instruments are completely audible), but as a one man band and independent is pretty impressive stuff and full of cool modern ideas between all the classic BM features. Fave track: The Rush of Childlike Independence and Fateful Lies; Love's Crippled Decay (on both love those lead guitars "bridges"and solos in the middle and end of the tracks) |
| Burn the Priest Legion: XX | 3.0 |
| Legion: XX Track Listr1. "Inherit The Earth" (originally performed by The Accused)r2. "Honey Bucket" (originally performed by Melvins)r3. "Kerosene" (originally performed by Big Black)r4.

| Burzum Hvis Lyset Tar Oss | 4.5 |
| Burzum Thulêan Mysteries | 3.0 |
| Some songs are too short...ambient on some are very cool tho...other seemed too long...can't pass the idea this is an album of demos. Cool folk soundtrack, that's all folks. |

| Cabal (DK) Mark Of Rot | 3.0 |
| Caelestra Black Widow Nebula | 3.0 |
The mix really brings this down imo...vocals sound really phoned and often robotic f.e. The
gorgeous moments are beyond gorgeous though, as the cover suggests. |
| Calamity Islet Enemies of Man | 3.5 |
| Calamity Islet See the Colourless | 3.5 |
| Candiria While They Were Sleeping | 3.0 |
| cool album...they could be a little less "palm muted" and a little more "open chorded" in order to provide an heavier feeling...also the distortion of the guitars are really shy...that's why this is not as 3.5 for me |
| Candlemass The Door To Doom | 3.5 |
| Epicus - a 4 album made 5 because it was in 1986. Door to Doom - a 4 album made 3 because its 2019. This album is better than wanted it to be.r |
| Candlemass Epicus Doomicus Metallicus | 4.0 |
| Beginers of Doom teaching Doom for beginers. I rec this any time for that matter. Recd tracks - demons gate; black Stone wielder. |

| Cara Neir Part III / Part IV | 4.5 |
| 4.5 Convergeresque Post Blackened Skramz!!! Late discover of mine for definitely one of the best releases this year. Even the electronic interludes are awesome. |
| Cara Neir Phase Out | 4.0 |
| Highly mockable release if you don't get it as pure mockery. Really like these nerds and the concept they go for on each release. Also big take on experimental, adding to the called screamoBM takes, hip/tripop, punk, jazz and yeap those retro game 8bit samples. |
| Cara Neir Portals to a Better, Dead World | 4.5 |
| damn awesome album...a little less sophisticated than their last one, but still relentless and diverse from screamo, to hxc, to BM, to post as in this to final tracks...amazing and unique band. Pretty much what I look for in music. |
| Cara Neir Perpetual Despair Is the Human Condition | 4.0 |
| More BM centered piece...tracks seem a bit longer. Really dig how nasty depressing these dudes sound |

| Carlos Paredes Guitarra Portuguesa | 5.0 |
| Carlos Paredes Uma Guitarra com Gente Dentro | 4.5 |
| Castevet Obsian | 4.5 |
| Such a dark feel but beautiful chord progressions. Unique brand of black and death, sprinkled with prog and gazey soundscapes all around. 4.5 material. It's almost as if you can listen each band member's influences. It could be a mess, but when it's nailed like this its just awesome, ending up building something unique imo. |
| Cattle Decapitation Monolith of Inhumanity | 4.0 |
| damn brutal...damn fast yeah...Nice use of melody for such a brutal piece. Lifestalker is awesome lol |
| Cattle Decapitation The Anthropocene Extinction | 4.0 |

| Cave In Until Your Heart Stops | 4.5 |
| Cave In Jupiter | 4.0 |
| Cave In Final Transmission | 3.0 |
| Some tracks here are way too short...like samples of what they could ve been (makes sense they're rpractically demos recorded in a single take, before Caleb's death). Props for tracks like Night rCrawler and Lanterna though. |
| Cave In Planets of Old | 4.0 |
| Cave In White Silence | 3.5 |
| Cave In Heavy Pendulum | 4.0 |
| Cave Sermon Divine Laughter | 4.0 |
| Celestial Swarm Gateways to the Necroverse | 3.5 |
| This shit pounds a ton. Really heavy and engaging listen. The programmed drums are super nasty. |
| Celtic Frost To Mega Therion | 4.0 |
| Celtic Frost Into the Pandemonium | 4.0 |
aaaight...so this album has the kind of daring like Type O neg. Faves here are Mesmerized and
Sorrows of The Moon. |
| Celtic Frost Monotheist | 4.5 |
| Cerebral Rot Excretion Of Mortality | 3.5 |
| Cerebral Rot Odious Descent Into Decay | 3.5 |
| Can't say I'm not enjoying their doomier side...I kinda like the balance between that and more DM parts...solos are a bit one trick pony but ripping cool |
| Ceremony Of Silence Oútis | 4.0 |
| Warning: you may find melody in this chaos. Great bass and drums. Bleak af. Recd track - Ceremony rof a Thousand Stars; Arising Of No Man; Into the Obscure Light |
| Chain Cult Isolated | 3.5 |
| Chain Cult is pure punk cult shit X) the songwriting is very good. |
| Chain Cult Demo | 3.5 |
| Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean Obsession Destruction | 4.0 |
| Every track is a bit of a punishment as any propper doom sludge should. The Chalice is a meaner!rIts a less subtle listen than pears in sound Thou but it really goes for me.r |
| Chapel of Disease ...And as We Have Seen the Storm | 3.5 |
| Great progressive death and roll release with an OSDM feel. Great craftsmanship.rRecd tracks - Void of Words; Oblivious / Obnoxious / Defiant |
| Chapel of Disease Echoes of Light | 4.0 |
| Somewhat not quite my style something intringuing kept me diving into it. |
| Charles Bronson Youth Attack! | 3.0 |
| Charles Mingus The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady | 5.0 |
| daaaamn dudes...the fucking sax is talking/ shouting on Track B....absolutely delightful r |
| Charles Mingus Mingus Ah Um | 4.5 |
| "You checked out Ah Um, right?" I did now...It's brilliant (specially on 2nd spin) tks a lot! Among some well known (familiar) tunes I think Fables Of Faubus match my style and perfectly translates what I dig about Mingus...such a challenging composition and influences way beyond jazz itself! |
| Charli XCX How I'm Feeling Now | 2.0 |
| Chat Pile God's Country | 4.0 |
| Chelsea Wolfe Hiss Spun | 4.5 |
| Chelsea Wolfe Birth of Violence | 4.5 |
| Chelsea Wolfe She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She | 4.5 |
| Chevelle NIRATIAS | 3.0 |
| I really don't know what to do with this yet. It's a pretty good mainstream metal album, despite a few missteps (it could go faster too). |
| Chico Buarque Meus Caros Amigos | 4.5 |
| Children of Bodom Hatebreeder | 3.0 |
| this one is very technical. I just can't stand the general folksy vibe so, for my personal taste, this gets better after Wrath Within. |
| Children of the Anachronistic Dynasty Fingernails | 3.0 |
Interesting album. Stream it here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA2032DAE214A52DE
live and completely different, also with maybe the first tool's sober sketch:

| Cirith Ungol Forever Black | 3.5 |

| Clarence Clarity THINK: PEACE | 2.0 |
| Bunch of loose ideas...retro vibe instead of actually experimental or new...as if Radiohead were rworking for Justin Timberlake |
| Clawfinger Deaf Dumb Blind | 3.0 |
| My issue with this album is in fact the lyrics...really childish or like a first grade English class. That said there's cool beats and riffs - Recd tracks - The Truth; Sad to see your Sorrow |

| Coffins The Fleshland | 3.5 |
| Coffins Perpetual Penance | 3.5 |
| Coffins Buried Death | 3.5 |
| Cognizance Malignant Dominion | 3.5 |
| Cognizance is musically very good, only flaw I found is they sound a bit generic melotechdeath. Maybe I find more character on further listens...there's a ton a sweet sections there though (even the folk ones)...easy 3.5 for a start. |

| Coldplay Parachutes | 3.5 |

| Coltsblood Ascending Into Shimmering Darkness | 4.0 |
Jeeeeezzzzzzzzzzz check this fuckin dudes. Two
type of growls here, low for doomier parts,
high screeches for filthier. OSDM and BM
sections mixing with slow Doom (and a
delightful occasional vicious goth organ
uuugghh) makes this right up my alley. Let's
keep a close eye on these fellas X) they sure
worth it. plus there's a girl on guitar called

| Comus First Utterance | 3.5 |
| Conan Existential Void Guardian | 4.0 |
don't know the rest of their discog but this slays! I love the vocals on it, and despite is
doom/sludge they provide us some faster tracks and sections with brilliant faster drumming. The
guitarwork is typical sludge/doom with perfect distortion for the genre. No solos nor technical
guitarwork though. It can be a little short for the genre! Fave tracks: Prosper The Path; Volt
Thrower; Vexxagon. |

Once you start you don't quite know what to expect. You don't know if this dude is practical joke
or only a prank. Once you get to know the work you can see he is as genuine as hilarious. He
speaks his own language but also approaches the new urban Portuguese slang and
themes...cakes, kebabs, cellulite, beach etc...the music has clear Fado, gypsy and Arabic or
Indian influences X) fave track: CELULITE an TITANIC |
| Conjunto Corona Santa Rita Lifestyle | 3.5 |
Great Portuguese hiphop satire, hailing from Porto...very good beats fs (best in the market I'd
say). Lyrics are honestly and uncomplicated bad, just for fun. Best jam to pass through Corona's

| Conjurer (UK) Pathos | 4.5 |
| This band is more on the sludge and post metal side maybe, idk. And it has some hardcore reminescents, so yeah the metalcore tag would fit if this wasn't so dense. There's also a lot of death metal (more in here than Mire) pulling us back to Opeth mid era, and of course black metal aspects all over the place (blast beats and high pitch vocals). And now how do they put all these in one single vibe/ ID is the most impressive. Other point is how they still make it to be this emotional and pure/genuine is beyond my reach and rare as fuck nowdays. Stay tuned on Conjurer mates! |

| Gorgeous cover...immersive listen...Its amazing how lately cover arts and music are so complementary for me, mainly in this genre...this is some artsy tech thrash...as if you just left the vault 101, at some point you regret that (to the point you question yourself "where am I?"), because its an harsh and intricate journey, yet its all worth it, cause that's what heroes and adventures are made of. |

| Cult Leader A Patient Man | 4.0 |
| I admit that the contrast between the soft tracks and the heavier ones is a bit too much, but I think its only cause the heavy tracks are indeed heavy as fuck me twice. Still prefer their previous release still a really good effort from this pretty unique band. First 3 tracks (Heal ME is one hell of an opener) will smash you completely on heavy part.

| Dark Angel Darkness Descends | 3.5 |
| Dark Fortress Spectres from the Old World | 4.0 |
| Really good metal hybrid. From the melodic BM starting point, this goes in several influences (prog, DM, thrash, techeath (intro). Beyond that, another really strong point is the variety of the vocals output, from the harsh BM ones to almost a post/sludge melodic ones. I loved the soft vocals on Spider in the Web. Also the vocals on the verse on Pali Aike or Isa f.e. gives me serious Mastodon vibes, but with its own character and freshness...In the Deepest Time is also a main jam, as with the massive T/track m/ Only setback for me are the 2 final tracks which seemed a bit unnecessary, albeit with a cool atmosphere. Very solid and focused piece for such a proggy band - 4.2. |
| Dark Fortress Venereal Dawn | 3.0 |
| This has a very atmospheric prog approach...everything is pretty much unmemorable and washed out in songwriting (specially on first half), still the called atmosphere is very well achieved and it has some sweet passages. Tracks like Odem and Luciform gives some shape on a songwriting level - unlike others, that are complete draggers - 3.2. |

| Daughters You Won't Get What You Want | 3.5 |
| I like the songs Satan on the Wait and one or other towards the end (Less Sex, Daughter, The Reason they hate me sequence is specially engaging) when they decide here rand there to be slightly musical. This is like a dark postpunk noise "band" now - they succeeded in that way. cool experimental stuff |
| Daughters Daughters | 3.0 |
| so with these guys I actually understood that Grind music goes from hardcore punk, metal, anarco-punk, noise rock e rock industrial. This is from the noisemusic anarco-punk genres. Is short (27 minutes) so its a pretty intense experience which feels longer than its actual length...because of the abuse of repetition and the tracks progress only slightly and only in terms of intensity too often. Good stuff but does little for me. |
| Daughters Hell Songs | 3.5 |
impressive drum work, more impressive guitar work and jazzy outputs makes this by far their most
interesting and cool release...In fact all instruments and features do stand out. Cool adding of
the new type of vocals, definitely leaving the convergeresque genre in the previous making it more
original and creating their own identity. This one gives me great Calculating Infinity vibes on
tracks like X-Ray f.e. |

Sweet Doom for sure.

| Devoid of Thought Outer World Graves | 4.0 |
| While they share the same view of Cosmic DM from bands like Blood Incantation, the variance shown makes each track a beast of its own! I found it amazingly awesome for that matter. From the weird sax(?please confirm?) coming from some deeper far cave on Perennial Dream, to the doomier Four Cereulean Ways, to the nervous Sidereal Necrosis they show their versatility and experimentation on Death Metal. All tracks are long and some go around the 10 minute mark and none overstays for me. Great listen.r |

| Dodheimsgard Supervillain Outcast | 3.5 |

| Dodheimsgard Satanic Art | 4.0 |
| Crazy little EP! Their journey towards their true own identity started to be drawn here. Although the sound is still very lo-fi (3rd track f.e.), you can tell how they try to variate on instrumentation and features on each of their tracks, instead of the DT 0.5. Really nasty tasty BM. |

| Excellent lost nu-metal release. Lots experimental, noise, glitches, pure rage, some constraint, great bass are the ingredients. Use of high screeches uncommon for the genre at the time. I made one of those pirate copies myself back in the days (printed cover and all) mix of nostalgia and realizing the quality is still there. This album is high quality to the genre, contesting with Slipknot, Korn, Mudvayne and others more successful. TKS xxm |

Not bad at all for the first 2020 release listen. 23:23 its where its at boyyyyz! |
| Dragged Into Sunlight WidowMaker | 4.0 |
| Not that I'm to say this is underrated...I get the complaints, but I happen to really dig this one. "I" is a very acoustic sludge piece Thou(like) at times. "II" pulls you back on the so known riff fest and progressions from bands like Cobalt f.e. III offers a doom vibe, banging and punishing towards the end. It really sets how versatile the band can reach in its own ID. |

| Dvne Omega Severer | 4.0 |
| Dvne Etemen Ænka | 4.5 |
| Big album and very well done. A bit long, considering it repeats the dynamic structures too much. Title track is legit stuff and all tracks are practically as good, throwing a lot of influenes in one homogenous sound. Asheran was killer tho and gave more the sense of adventour. Edit - @loveforeverchanges listen to CoL. |
| Dvne Voidkind | 4.5 |
Honnestly is getting better every listen. I
came to love Etemen Aenka by the end of that
year, but what Asheran's fans struggled was to
accept the brighter, polished vibe and the
lack of tighter riffs to broader concepts,
builds and maybe the called "highs". With
Voidkind the more organic sound, riffs and
bouncing technical transitions are back. In
other words the sludge is back, for the sake
of Asheran's faves. It has still a lot of
sections that takes to those more post metal
vibes from EA, known from bands like CoL etc.
The idea of unmemorability is also a lie. It
has hooks as fuck. The vocals are greater than
ever and the melodic ones gives it a loooot of
dynamics. I can get that its coheviness looks
like its coming back to main theme etc that
could give that fake feeling. It rocks. |

| Elder (USA-MA) The Gold and Silver Sessions | 4.5 |
| Great turn for eclecticism. Band is showing true craft, going for a sort of 70's chilling vibe this time. If you're looking for classic stoner you won't get it. |
| Elder (USA-MA) Elder | 3.5 |
| Great tunes of Sleep's and Electric Wizzard's worship. Solid debut. |
| Elder (USA-MA) Omens | 4.0 |
| Bold but hard 4 cause I dig the band a lot. As said they always change their sound in each release. This time they leave you with somewhat of a disconcerting punk rock vibe, much of this caused by the "bad" vocals much more at front, where tuning is not a strength. |

| Electric Wizard Wizard Bloody Wizard | 2.0 |
| Electric Wizard Dopethrone | 5.0 |
| Out of this world smokin music! These dudes seem to pull it of with not much technicality, but also so reffortlessly and with a thick and heavy doom, making it look really organic and genuine. Love rthis. Fave tracks: Funeralopolis, Barbarian and I, The Witchfinder. |

This album flows magically. Living proof that to be a prog (bm) band 8 minute tracks are not
mandatory. Definitely makes consider to check their discog. |
| Enslaved Axioma Ethica Odini | 4.5 |
| big ass beast of an album that caught me completely off guard m/ |
| Enslaved E | 3.5 |
| Enslaved Heimdal | 4.5 |
| I dug Utgard ngl, specially how it flows. E not so much. Axioma is a fucking banger. And this is actually a different level from Utgard. More nuanced and intricate. With more special places to explore. This sounds as if mastodon went bm in some tracks, but this has much more, from meshuggary to opeth and still leaves space for several 70s prog takes. I keep switching my fave tracks on this. Borderline 5 prog metal gem. |

| Envy The Fallen Crimson | 3.5 |
| TKS Sput for setting me up to Japanese screamo...I mean wtf...I get a lot of post vibes from bands such as Alcest. Pretty good and genuine stuff. First time with the band. I kinda envy ppl who are able to adore this (sorry for the pun). I'm crazy for the tracks Statement of Freedom and A Faint New World, they are so awesome, but then I end up getting super annoyed until Fingerprint Mark (another banger). I'm sorry I don't live up to this hype. Maybe that changes again... |
| Envy All the Footprints You've Ever Left and the Fear Expecting Ahead | 4.5 |
| Possibly best Envy. My favorite Envy... |
| Envy A Dead Sinking Story | 4.0 |
| Eoront Gods Have No Home | 3.5 |
Really solid BM. Although it lacks a little of punch it focuses more on the atmosphere, where the
acoustic inputs (chords, violins/synths, choirs, horns etc) are often delightfully layered. The
Hermit and The Midday Herbs are my faves here I think. |
| Ephel Duath The Painter's Palette | 3.5 |
| Weird but cool blend of metal and jazz. Virtuous work on trumpet, bass and guitar. Its pretty un-engaging as free jazz is kinda supposed to. It has the common progressive songwriting flaws, but its fun to get all this mix at once X) overall great experience.rRecd tracks - Ruins; The Other's Touch |

Also cool to think so outside the box like this. Big props for that cover art. If you put it on you can tell how hard it is to find a similar artist XD. The metal genre tag is also debatable. |

| Expander Neuropunk Boostergang | 4.0 |
If you never listened to this band you probably never heard this new genre called Neuropunk...ahah
its ok if you don't want to be cool. This thing is a big slapper of punkHXC with the most cool
post/sludge leanings, weather in the spacey guitars or the absolutely insane howling vocals. Give
it a go cause it rips ahrd. Neuropunk is my new fave genre, now you other bands start playing it
as well

| To dopesick add the word grossfilth and this is it. What a good ride. For me this was somewhere in the middle of Electric Wizard's stoner and doom nihilistic Thou (in terms of sound, once they're previous to both) with some punkhardcore in the mix, but its been called "the pure sludge"...all I know is this riffs so fuckin hard...its dopesick filthygross eeewww Recd Tracks - Lack of Almost Everything; Broken Down but not locked up. |
| Eyehategod In the Name of Suffering | 3.5 |
| Eyehategod Take as Needed for Pain | 4.0 |
| Eyehategod Confederacy of Ruined Lives | 4.5 |
| A bit more polished version of EHG with more emphasis in some cool southern rock riffing, inspiring a bit more of party mode on some tracks. Great Bass, a bit less sludgedoom than previous masterpiece. Still the best "vocal performance" t'ill then and offering plenty of riffing and m/m/ af and I like 0.001%. Recd Tracks - Inferior and Full of Anxiety; Revelation/ Revolution. |
| Eyehategod Eyehategod | 4.0 |
| EHG in a very playful jam mode. Cool intelligeble vocal hooks. Punk mood af. Still badass. I'm oficially a fan of this band's discog and this was a great comeback. Recd Tracks - Flags and Cities Bound; Agitation! Propaganda! |

Years and years listening to this at home without realizing how carefully this was made. Not only
the poetry, but the attention to instrumentation and Portuguese true folk research is also
something to acknowledge. This is also mixed and written with a great sense of modernism and
avant-garde music. Conceptually. "Por Este Rio Acima" tells the story of the Portuguese explorer,
Fernão Mendes Pinto's travelings, during Sea Discoveries era, told in the book Peregrinação. A
Portuguese masterpiece. |

Fave tracks: Inherit and Warfare |
| Flourishing The Sum of All Fossils | 4.5 |
| OMFG as if Cult Leader or Gaza meets Ulcerate. Avangardish tech DM full of punk and sludge reminiscences. A real must check for lovers of extreme metal. Too bad this is one album and nothing more.

| Flying Lotus You're Dead! | 3.5 |
| I dig it more than the latest, but again it has this sketchy nature, attached to the experimentation, that doesn't help me to pass the fact of being music for musicians and samplers. Whenever you start to get in some tune, the song ends or changes abruptly, therefore I find hard to get the relevance of it, other than that. The vibes and texture work are often amazing. |

| OK folks. I just have to stop this 3.5ing nonsense. This album riffs a pack of awesome techdeath (which is not my "go to" genre per se)! Further listens made me enjoy it even more, specially the back half which contain tracks like Chaosphere, Shadows of infinity and fuckin Primordial m/m/m/. Bookends are also legit bangers. There's tiny little synth sounds and nuances one should not disregard. Also need to mention the amazing cover art, setting a single dude approaching some other planet landscape, which sets the tone for this journey perfectly imo. |

| Gaza No Absolutes in Human Suffering | 4.0 |
great balance between hardcore, grind and sludge. Extreme heaviness and aggressiveness with some
pretty nice breathing moments. The vocalist is incredibly powerful. The only step-back is that
they seem to rely t o much on that sort of transitions. Hopefully I'll stick around to see this
growing on me - sure will revisit and reevaluate after listening the full discog - Fave tracks:
Not with all Hope in the world, The Crown, When They Beg and Winter in Blood. |
| Gaza He Is Never Coming Back | 3.5 |
| Gaza I Don't Care Where I Go When I Die | 4.5 |
| only needed the first 4 tracks to think this one may be their best effort imo...the production r(which I hate to talk about lol) is way better than the sophomore, that looks like a small rrehearsal room don't quite know why. Also is seeming to me way darker and deeper even than their rlast one. Needless to say this little electronic appointments are gold for me. Strong Deftones rvibe on Hospital Fat Bags. Realy great release. |

| Genocide Pact Order Of Torment | 4.0 |
| This record convinced me song after song instead of getting me bored (as I expected). Creative rslow tempo death metal, with awesome use of palm mute. As you go into this record you see a lot of rcreativity here, as you'll notice in Pain Reprisal and Ascendancy Absolved. Structural Dissolution ris brutal and grindy. All the vocals are grindcore death metal based. Great job! |
| Genocide Pact Forged Through Domination | 3.5 |
| Get The Shot Infinite Punishment | 4.0 |

Is amazing, and much like A Perfect Absolution, how the proggy&tech stuff on these dudes serves
and is really encrusted on the songwriting. Plus I got a weak spot for the esoteric feeling that
flows throughout some of the tracks. The vocals are great and varied and the midpitch vocals gives
a rare emotion to this genre which I really dig too. Faves: Bekthen's Curse; And The Moon turned
Black and A Light Unseen.
The minor stepback is that sometimes it gets a bit too spastic and the sound is often interrupted
in some of the tracks. |

| Green Lung This Heathen Land | 3.0 |
| Greg Puciato Child Soldier: Creator of God | 4.0 |
| Super cool and modern "90's prime revival" (let it pass). But we all know this is precisely what rMr. Pussyato is about: full on 90's early 00s', in which Patton and the NIN's are a constant (with little Sade/George Michael hints), and an amazing ability to be abrasive, experimental and poppy at the same time. Surprised with his solo quality...although I miss the instrumental's tDEP mathy chaos. |
| Greg Puciato Mirrorcell | 3.0 |
| HeyHey! Who tamed my Puciato?! We miss you. Bookends are nice. |

| First 3 tracks are kinda meh for me...subsequent 3 tracks push me all the right buttons tho. |
| Grouper Ruins | 3.5 |
| This gets the 3.5 stamp of music to listen with the babe X) songwriting is one jam per song, only small changes in intensity. It's very tender, raw and the atmosphere is very intimate. Love the track Holding. |

| Hallas Conundrum | 4.0 |
| I started very skeptic at this album, yet the last 4 tracks won me over. They make some of the coolest prog as the album goes. Great retro/vintage take. |
| Hallas Excerpts From a Future Past | 4.0 |
Tough album for me to get in, but with right mindset and inputs (doc on yt) I get these guys a pre
much the real deal here...great journey of an album! Very retro, but where I listened to early
Genesis/ Jethro I now see me passing through The Doors, Dire Straits, some folk, some of the
HardRock epicness I normally despise and in here I love, and yeah some modern music as well.
Vocalist has a lot of character and requires habit, he's a young dude with a voice of an older
man. Star Rider is an amazing track. |
| Hallas Isle of Wisdom | 4.0 |
| This is their least catchy. Also their proggiest. Not necessarily bad. It gets less hard hitting but more adventurous. Probably the most retro band in activity. |
| Hallucinogen The Lone Deranger | 3.5 |
| Hashshashin Badakhshan | 3.5 |
| Drumming takes the lead here and its often impressive, sometimes almost don t serve the music's purpose, but on other hand gives it a little twist. In the end sound is very original and well executed. Cool assassin s creed soundtrack ahahah |

| Hath Of Rot And Ruin | 4.5 |
This may please fans of more old school death metal (Opeth, Bloodbath, Cryptopsy) but also the
more proggy new school ones (Slugdge, Sulphur Aeon, Aborted). One of the best DM releases of the
year so far and it will be hard to match. Recd Tracks - Rituals, Accursed; Worlds Within. |

| HEALTH Health | 3.0 |
| Heave Blood and Die Post People | 3.5 |
| Heaven Shall Burn Of Truth and Sacrifice | 2.5 |
| ...they are the best at doing a formulaic stiff genre (don't know why though, cause its such a resourceful genre), even more straight than straight thrash can be...uff...the gal is maybe hot, not my type of gal...and if that was not enough on me...its a double damn disc...veeeery tiring. This is about war, and I'm at war getting to the end of it. Apparently they are tired too, so decided to play some Ramstein instead and to vary a bit on wirting on disc 2. |

| Hellripper The Affair of the Poisons | 3.5 |
| A fun formula, no more no less. |
| Hellripper Warlocks Grim and Withered Hags | 4.0 |
| Hessian Crucible Morbidity Demo | 3.5 |
| okay, this demo goes super hard, and for a demo is very well produced. A lot of interesting cool riff progressions and vibes from bm to dm to doom. Vocals are on point. Its a pity they haven't released anything more (yet?), so they could work in finding a little more depth to their songs. Fave track for me here is Hell Blast. |
| High Command Eclipse of the Dual Moons | 3.5 |
| High on Fire De Vermis Mysteriis | 5.0 |
| High on Fire Luminiferous | 3.5 |
| High on Fire Electric Messiah | 4.5 |
really good speed up pace stoner. Great songwriting, weather in the shorter fast tracks or in the
more progressive longer ones. Riffs everywhere and cool solos. I found also plenty of originality
on the drums sounding really organic. Loving this and I'm glad I gave this guys a second chance,
once I was not impressed by the previous release. You won't "Sleep" with this one m/m/m/ Faves:
T/T Freebooter...this was awesome, uncompromising and fun to listen! |
| High on Fire Snakes for the Divine | 4.0 |
I don't think this is bland at all. Sure I get your production issues, less sludgier less
"Sleepier" vibe, but this has bad ass riffs as hell. I kinda enjoyed this more than Luminiferous
f.e. If this is officially their worst work is just fine by me X) whata band m/ Fave Tracks:
Bastard Samura; Ghost Neck; Fire Flood and Plague |
| High on Fire Blessed Black Wings | 4.0 |
| High on Fire Death Is This Communion | 4.5 |
DiTC is what I'm talking about. The groove filled with those whipping riffs hit my weak spot. The
vocal delivery on that one is amazing too. The drum and guitar song interludes are intense and
fitting to the whole song and just give the enough prog vibe I also enjoy on these guys.
yesyesyes...I've got a new favorite band. |
| High on Fire Bat Salad | 3.5 |
| High on Fire Art of Self-Defense | 4.0 |
| HIM Razorblade Romance | 4.0 |

| Hooded Menace Fulfill the Curse | 4.5 |
| Hooded Menace Ossuarium Silhouettes Unhallowed | 5.0 |
| Hooded Menace Effigies of Evil | 5.0 |
| I put Hooded Menace to listen to pure, tight metal and flawless...these guys clean my head from all the other metal I listen. The riffs, build ups, song writing and solos on this one hit perfect everywhere. I suck at parties if I start showing or talkin about HoodedM so you guys are all I have lol r |
| Hooded Menace Never Cross the Dead | 4.0 |
| Hooded Menace The Tritonus Bell | 4.5 |
| Up tempo" more "accessible" Hooded Menace with hints of heavy metal. Tight af, as per usual, and the mix and tone hit just perfect. Best deathdoom tone in the biz. All their albums slay, what can I say.r |
| Hop Along Bark Your Head Off, Dog | 3.0 |
| Horrendous Idol | 4.5 |
| Though everything is a bit low (to get all things you need to pump up the vol quite a bit) is rreally nice how this band can be from really abusive DM to really prog and melodic (even in some rawesome back-vocals) all at once. The fret-less bass (audible af!) is just everywhere and perfect, rvicious and addictive guitar riffs. Everything on this is really good but, aesthetically speaking, rthe vocals are really setting them apart! Whether melodic or that desperate raw mid-tone scream. rSuch a cool release this one. Faves: Soothsayer, Devotion (Blood for Ink), Obulus. |
| Horrendous Anareta | 4.0 |
This is without a doubt a very talented band.This one may even have a bit more craftsmanship and
speed than the new release, but not as successful in transitioning brutality and ugliness into
beauty tho. The Nihilist, Acolytes, The Sum of all failures and the closer are my faves on this
one. Both flow really nice but this is just a bit more tiring imo Idol felt to me as a bit less
thrashy and a bit more modern and unique. |
| Horrendous Ecdysis | 4.0 |
| This album starts simply beautiful and awesome. The leading pinkfloydish melting solos are just so rcool! I'm getting more of the general vibe I got on Idol which I'm fuckin lovin, only with a more rsludgy or doomy tone and distortion on the guitar riffs. |
| Horrendous The Chills | 3.5 |
| Great Debut. Don't see this as generic stuff but prob is their more generic work though...Ripped to Shreds in fact rips and shreds. There's something 21st century about these dudes.Fave tracks - Ripped to Shreds, The Somber |
| Horrendous Ontological Mysterium | 4.5 |
| Hour of 13 Hour of 13 | 3.0 |
| Hulder Godslastering: Hymns of a Forlorn Peasantry | 4.0 |
| As if this demo wasn t being solid enough, this brave gal pulls off this title track (Hymns of a Forlorn Peasantry), starting with her melodic vocals, so gorgeously! The following final track (From Whence an Ancient Evil Once Reigned) is also really good. The way she uses the synths gives it a singular vibe imo. Surprisingly really good record. |
| Hulder Verses In Oath | 2.5 |
| Disappointment. I really like the debut. I mean, where's the charming synths and high leads? Where's the folky vibe? The melody is provided with weak synths drowned in the mix. |
| Hum Downward Is Heavenward | 3.0 |
| Hum Inlet | 4.0 |
| This album has a great atmosphere and immaculate production...postgrunge comeback/ reinterpreted thing. Very well done. My fave tracks are in pairs Step into You+The Summoning and Folding+Shapeshifter. |
| Hyperdontia Hideous Entity | 4.0 |
| Hypno5e Des Deux l'une Est l'autre | 3.5 |
| weeeeeird but there's something really cool here lol atmospheric nu-metalcore? Great Album....don't like the french accent when they go melodic in English...and the album is too damn long ...also is a pretty easy escape from the dudes to put a voice sample along the tracks to get that atmospheric/ apocalyptic vibe...but...they are very good, specially the guitars and its new enthralling metalcore. |
| Hypno5e Sheol | 3.0 |
| indiecore, kinda cool. Getting Maudlin of The Well vibes if they were more djentcore or some shit. I like/ respect Maudlin just not a big fan. This has a lot of good ideas that doesn't always work/ flow. |
| I Am Low Illusions | 4.0 |
| IDLES Joy as an Act of Resistance | 4.0 |
| Post punk band (though they don t see as such). Approach the new wave issues such as feminism, male vulnerability, lgbt etc. in a really funny way. Fave tracks: love song, june, samaritans and television.r |
| IDLES Ultra Mono | 3.0 |
| IDLES Crawler | 3.5 |
| Iggy Pop Post Pop Depression | 4.0 |
| Igorrr Savage Sinusoid | 4.0 |
| Now what the fuck was this? If there's any "breakcore" album I could 4 it would be this stuff lol |
| Igorrr Spirituality and Distortion | 3.0 |
| I can see myself bumping this one maybe, it has even more metal appeal...and I don't know yet if that's a good or a bad thing. |
| Ill Nino Revolution/Revolucion | 3.0 |
| Illyria The Carpathian Summit | 3.5 |
| PostBlack/ Blackgaze at its finest in the vein of Alcest. The dearest cover on metal scene. The album's beauty matches the cover. Everything is really well done and dynamic with great attention to details. Harsh, melodic, brilliant acoustic features and amazing basswork. |
| Immolation Atonement | 4.0 |
| Immolation Majesty and Decay | 4.5 |
| Immolation Close to a World Below | 4.5 |
| Immolation Acts of God | 3.5 |
| Immortal Sons of Northern Darkness | 4.5 |
| Immortal At the Heart of Winter | 4.5 |
| My favorite Immortal to date. This album is a damned riff fest. |
| Immortal Pure Holocaust | 4.0 |
| Immortal Bird Thrive On Neglect | 4.0 |
Perfect blend of BDM, Grindcore e HXC. Excellent songwriting imo. A little less musically driven
than the previous one, which had a rock approach here and there. Girl's vocals are awesome btw. |
| Immortal Bird Empress/Abscess | 4.0 |
| Immortal Bird Akrasia | 4.0 |
| Impaled Nazarene Tol Cormpt Norz Norz Norz | 4.0 |
| Absolutely blasphemous ritualistic stuff...vocals and atmosphere are insane. There's something really straight fw in their thrashy BM, yet very compelling and with the awesome drumming in a constant change. The Beast is singing and chicken samples are something else hihihi. In the end, this is different from anything I've ever heard. Also find amusing as hell to see users giving it a 1 and 1.5 (I totally get it, mind). Here's my 4. |
| Impaled Nazarene Taog Eht Fo Htao Eht [Demo] | 4.5 |
| 15 minutes of blasphemy and freedom, if you don't have fun that means you just got raped by the Beast. |
| Impaled Nazarene Ugra-Karma | 3.5 |
| Imperial Savagery Lashing the Feral Swine | 4.0 |
| Imperial Triumphant Vile Luxury | 4.5 |
| Straight 4.5 for the most scary, intriguing and brilliant musical experiences I had this year. Deathspell "Omeguish" sound with lots brilliant jazz inputs. Fave Track: Chernobyl Blues. though this is to be listened in full. |
| Imperial Triumphant Alphaville | 4.0 |
| Brilliant effort, that ends up delivering a more futuristic feel to the World they create(brought much from the atmosphere and a more techDM approach, on a closer look) as opposed to the more actual NY scenery you catch on VL. Both in the same level of quality I'd say and this is still filled with panic, euphoric, jazzy and smokey yk...Alphaville is a big highlight here. |
| Imperial Triumphant Spirit of Ecstasy | 4.5 |
| This one made me bring Alphaville down to a 4. Vile Lux still at #1 |
| In Aphelion Moribund | 3.5 |
| Great stuff. Gotta love these guitars. It's drenched in leads, and I wouldn't mind some for riffs to break things here and there. |
| In Flames Battles | 1.5 |
| Incantation Sect of Vile Divinities | 3.5 |

| Insect Warfare World Extermination | 3.0 |
| Insomnium Anno 1696 | 3.5 |
| Integrity Howling, For the Nightmare Shall Consume | 4.0 |
This album is an awesome crossover. Hardcore, Trash and some nice dark aspects, sludgy and doomy
to.
Good production. The vocals and the songwriting are excellent. Clearly deserves to be reviewed,
and clearly deserves a better rating! Experienced musicians doing something special here! This is
top 20 2017 metal records candidate. |
| Integrity Those Who Fear Tomorrow | 4.0 |
| Inter Arma Paradise Gallows | 5.0 |
| Paradise Gallows album has this Neurosis, early Mastodon vibe, plus a Doors followed by a Pink Floyd ode. Not to mention how heavy and filthy 'An Archer in the Emptiness' and 'Transfiguration' are. 'Violent Constellations' have a vicious solo at the end...its really my cup of tea. Doomy, Heavy, Thick, Filthy, Psychedelic - a fucking shipwreck. They perfected their album formula to this point. |
| Inter Arma Sulphur English | 4.5 |
Band is pretty much underrated here! Dudes go from absolute heavy rampage to the most beautiful
melodic tunes. My fave is clearly Paradise Gallows in terms of that doom-bm-postmetal balance. On
this one they kept their fromula but added somewhat a more osdm aehestetic to theeir sound...Band
fuckin rules m/m/m/
|
| Inter Arma The Cavern | 4.5 |
| Inter Arma Sky Burial | 4.0 |
| Damn man! The PinkFloyd track here (Long Road Home) getting into full BM is fuckin awesome...its a kind of signature...though they are always very creative, they kept their formula albumwise - DoomSludge - BM - PinkFloyd - and then rougher again m/ How they have those Neurosis like vocals, but then those filthy screeches come in...reminding BM and more filthysludge bands (Thou; Lord Mantis f.e.). I love these guys and how they mix all these and keep the narrative damn consistent...who would've thought!?....I wonder if this reached Roger Waters somehow lolol |
| Inter Arma Sundown | 4.0 |
| Definitely different from their later settled ID. Less doomy, less of that pink floyd psych here (except for that last track's ending). More BM and even some southern metal riffing vibe, to an almost hardcore at times. |
| Internal Rot Mental Hygiene | 4.5 |
| This is the type of music any fan of Kate Bush should listen to. 25 minutes of tribute. |
| Internal Rot Grieving Birth | 3.5 |
| This goes hard, little shit given to atmo here...if you dig Insect Warfare you will enjoy this. |

| Iron Monkey 9-13 | 3.5 |
| Isengard Vårjevndøgn | 3.5 |
| Isgherurd Morth Hellrduk | 4.0 |
| Very good and surprising debut. Every post element on this is only provided by guitar soundscapes. Overall sound and vocals are evil af, but keeping a certain gazey vibe, that feels very welcome. Also the bass has also really standout points and listenable all along in the mix. It's overall not too complex but it delivers the goods. Fave track is prob Lucir Stormalah, with opposing frantic blast beats vs peaceful guitars and an also soothing supercool bass.r |
| ISIS In the Absence of Truth | 4.0 |
| ISON Inner - Space | 3.5 |
| It It Anita Laurent | 3.5 |
| punk/ postpunk release from a Belgium band that looks really comfortable on that grey area between punk/ hardcore vibe and some post, doomy aspects. The last ones, much more noticeable on the second part of the album and that can divide you or make it more "interesting". The first part is full of bangers though! Fave Tracks: User Guide; 11; Say No; GOD |
| Ithaca The Language of Injury | 4.0 |
| Hell yeah! These friends have an exquisite manner to achieve melody plus "This fuckin slaps". As I pay attention to some backvocals and they're gorgeous. A weird Rolo Tomassi beatdown m/ girl on vocals.rrecd Tracks - The Language of Injury; Slow Negative Order; Youth Vs Wisdom. |
| Ithaca They Fear Us | 3.5 |
| Jade The Pacification Of Death | 4.0 |
| Blackened Doom. Riffs are BM af. DeathDoom growls emerge, right next to a very unique vocal shouting. Its never as complex as you'd expect prog dm would be, and by keeping it simple and entrancing makes it a very peculiar listen. Fave track is Silk Ransoms and Saddest Night. |
| James Blake James Blake | 4.0 |
| Amazing and emotional vocal exercise, combined with exceptional use of auto-tune for artistic rpurposes. The use of silences is really good. Great at experimenting with glitchy electronic textures. I loved the track Limit to Your Love on radio so much that felt compelled to check this one out and it exceeded my expectations. Dude was on drugs for sure, maybe a bit too glitchy towards the end. |
| James Blake Assume Form | 3.5 |
| always cool how this fella does hip-hop, going through DaftPunk's (auto)tunes to late Radiohead's experimentation. I like it. The big loss here is when the production and experimentation goes over the music and it gets a bit random. Recd Tracks - Assume Form; Tell Them; Where's the Catch. |

| Sick would be the term for this. Sick cover, sick atmosphere, sick guitars, sick drums...and even sicker sax. The mood is stiff though and relies on repetition and in intensity crescendos. Really original and experimental stuff. Fave Tracks - This is a Love Test; No gentle art |
| KEN mode Null | 3.5 |
| Kendrick Lamar DAMN. | 3.5 |
| Some tunes here are really good (the smooth R&B ones), some others not really (the ones that makes your Cadillac bounce). |
| Kendrick Lamar To Pimp a Butterfly | 4.5 |
| Prob the most relevant and creative rapper from the decade. I see this album being a master piece to any hip-hop fan and not only. Impressive how seamlessly the mood swaps song to song. Super glad I decided to check this dude, even though I'm not an hip-hop fan. The jazz take is delicious. |
| Kendrick Lamar good kid, m.A.A.d city | 4.0 |
| Kendrick Lamar Section.80 | 3.5 |
| Khemmis Deceiver | 4.0 |
| This one rules them all Khemmis ones. They added these really doomy endings and interludes, with low growls after melodic singing. Opener even features bm vocals and instrumentation, transitioning and flowing pretty seamlessly. Give it a shot. Its one dynamic af release, unlike the others, as good as they might be. |
| Khemmis Desolation | 4.0 |
| Khemmis Hunted | 3.5 |
| Khemmis Absolution | 4.0 |
| WATA FUCK dudes. this was awesome! perfect balance for me. never boring!rI WILL CARRY YOUR NAME! |
| Khemmis Where the Cold Wind Blows | 4.0 |
Covering song In the Pines, converting it into
a doom song is quite a challenge. Yet its on
the track Sigil they really shine. The
ballance between harsh and melodic is better
than ever. Plus it riffs. |
| Killer Be Killed Killer Be Killed | 3.5 |
| Killer Be Killed Reluctant Hero | 4.0 |
This one is stronger than the debut imo. Honestly wherever Puciato goes needs to stay at front as
in here. Still great props to Sanders here which never sounds bloated and pretty badass...there s
more than an handful of bangers here |
| Killswitch Engage The End of Heartache | 4.5 |
| Killswitch Engage Alive or Just Breathing | 4.0 |
| Kind Mental Nudge | 3.0 |
| King Crimson In the Court of the Crimson King | 4.5 |
| This is cool. Ahead of its time. Although too slow at times it sure is groundbreaking and still feels sorta fresh. |
| King Crimson Red | 5.0 |
| My kind of jam right here. Dark, dense and modern... beautiful. King band indeed. |
| King Crimson Discipline | 4.0 |
| King Crimson In the Wake of Poseidon | 3.0 |
This album do not sit well with me and I don't quite know why...but it feels like debut's
unfinished leftovers with some weak hippie vibes. They're never worst than good though. |
| King Crimson Islands | 4.0 |
| Even though a bit on improvisation mode at times (KC signature), its often brilliant and disturbing/ dark in the best way possible (something I adore on Red f.e.). I love how Sabbath meets Beatles on Ladies on the Road. My 2nd fave KC from the first 4. Underrated album! |
| King Crimson Lizard | 3.5 |
| King Crimson Larks' Tongues in Aspic | 4.0 |
| Opener is a 6/5 track. Really cool vibe on this one. I feel the closer a really cool track a la Red. |
| King Crimson Starless and Bible Black | 3.5 |
| It's not that this and Lark are taking the magic of Red for me, but I can definitely see the same features perfected there (both closers f.e.) and glued to a more interestingly challenging songwriting and emotional delivery...I guess that's why I fived Red... |
| King Dude Music To Make War To | 3.5 |
| enjoyed this dark goth vibe. another great release/ debut |
| King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Polygondwanaland | 4.0 |
| King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Infest the Rats' Nest | 4.0 |

| King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard K.G. | 3.0 |
| King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard L. W. | 4.0 |

| King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of... | 4.0 |
| This def is not trve metal, but the main reason consists in that it rocks XDr |
| King Woman Created in the Image of Suffering | 4.0 |
| Female fronted, shoegazy doom release (yes) not relying on classic doom aspects (long songs, flow, repetition) but in soul grungy songwriting. Really good and original and somewhat dark.rRecd tracks - Worn; Hierophant |
| King Woman Celestial Blues | 4.0 |
| Massive album. If you dig ERR with Thou collab this doesn't fall much behind. Same vibe here and there, but with some poppish "a la Billie Eillish" song structures, specially on vocals, all "nicely" balanced with dirty depressed and pissed off sludge. Btw, I haven't said I like Billie Eillish. Boghz slays af. |
| Kingnomad The Great Nothing | 3.5 |
| Kings of Leon Only By The Night | 3.0 |
| Knocked Loose Laugh Tracks | 4.0 |
| Knocked Loose A Different Shade of Blue | 4.0 |
| This shit looks all the same yes, relies too much on breakdowns yes, kinda like these stupid vocals yes (low growls are amazing btw)...its awesome lol such as the previous one. They keep the HXC-Thrash crossover and add a more DM approach. Props for Keith Buckley's appearance. Recd tracks - By The Grave; Mistakes Like Fractures; Forget Your Name (Feat Keith Buckley); ...And Still I Wander South |
| Knocked Loose A Tear in the Fabric of Life | 3.5 |
| vocals are goofy but angry and its pretty much the goal here. Heavier Code Orange imo...just not as fast as I expected. Breaks relying, but thats also the goal eheh |
| Knoll Metempiric | 4.0 |
| These dudes are fuking it all. Killer sophomore! They surelly grasp Trumpeting Ecstasy vibe and vocals. Grind, sludge, industrial and doom. Tracks barely over 3 min, with the exception of the closer, (8min) with a fantastic and clearing vocalrperformance. |

| Kowloon Walled City Container Ships | 4.0 |
| Summary is spot on and therefore I'm a bump this baby. |
| Kowloon Walled City Grievances | 3.5 |
I found this 3rd one more of the same, thus I'm keeping the 3.5 here...If this band was to keep it
going they really needed to reinvent themselves, cause it seems they have nowhere to go. Really
cool output though, don't get me wrong. |
| Kowloon Walled City Piecework | 4.0 |
| How simple it is to make a simple album to make you simply feel. |
| Krallice Loüm | 3.5 |
| this is technically great, good environment also...between 3 to 3.5 |
| Krallice Go Be Forgotten | 4.0 |
| Krallice Demonic Wealth | 5.0 |
| Somehow this hits me as the kind of record I'd see a band like Ulver doing, if they hadn't quit BM, at this point (don't fight me). Sure, I'm not talking about the DM parts, or this maybe more proggy nature, but this sense of mixing trve BM with the avant-garde feel. Its different from any other Krallice (being GBF the closest). They recorded it during confinement and achieves an incredibly mysterious atmosphere, featuring amazing drums recorded through a phone (!), but also impressive takes on techy guitars and listenable, often brilliant, bass. The massive highlight though goes for the way the synths follow the all piece giving another layer of atmosphere, darkness and mystery. Its disturbing, smooth and heavy and I'm completely obsessed with it. I sense they'll never record the drums through a phone ever again (unfortunately). |

| Their best is DW with a rollercoaster of events. This is a solid and steady experience, and its blessing is also its curse - the amazing outworldly closer, that kinda burns everything around to ashes in hope. We have to be resilient tho, and focus on those dirty descendant riffs all around the other tracks. |

| Kvelertak Splid | 4.0 |
| This album is pretty solid and step fw from the previous, badly produced one (fixed by Kurt Balou here). They consolidate their more approachable sound. Necrosoft is standout, such as the Ghostlike, very hard rock riffing, track Fanden ta dette hull! (check that awesome punk HXC riff and solo varying with hard rock riffs). My highlight of this album though are the more serious mood 3 final tracks, specially Delirium tremens and Ved bredden av Nihil, that shows another side of the band yet to explore. |

| Cherry Quartz is a delish! I know its the other way around but it gives me big Numenorean vibes X) vocals are far from perfect but they're genuine. |
| Lantlos .neon | 4.0 |
| This band beats many blackgaze acts. Really awesome balance between harsh and melo (bm and jazzy post), and very good songwriting (against Deafheaven's endless crescendos - ps: New Bermuda's digger here). Fave tracks are Pulse/Surreal (incredibly emotional song), These Nights Were Ours and the T/track. I see 4.5 potential on this one. |
| Lantlos Agape | 3.5 |
| Very good atmosphere. Need a few more listens on this one. I got a bit lost on the songwriting but there's def something special here. |
| Lantlos Lantlos | 4.0 |

| Lantlos Isern Himel - Demo 2005-2007 | 3.5 |
| Lantlos Wildhund | 2.5 |
| Got some Hum's latest vibes (which could be awesome). Also some Ghengis Trons's latest stuff, but with vocals, or Great Dismal from Nothing, but somewhat worse than all these. Its cool they explore new territory but it did nothing on me. Track Vertigo is pre good tho. |

| Leeched You Took The Sun When You Left | 3.5 |
| They use the beatdown in the meanest way possible. Good ambiance created with electronics (code orangeresque) also helping some unpredictability in the songwriting. Really enjoyable but not lasting - cons some songs are just too slow or mid paced...this kind of brutality sometimes asks for more speed. Its heavy, mean but a bit one sided in mood. Fave tracks: Raised by Lead and Harrow the Pastures |

Is cool to get a track from Chester in 2019.
Pretty standard metal hardrock songwriting, a
risk LOG runs constantly as well. Great guitar
and a vocal feature on each track makes this
like a gatering of artists having fun. Zero
atmosphere and genre shifting also doesn't
help. Recd tracks - Cross off; Blur; The truth
is dead. |
| Marrasmieli Between Land And Sky | 4.5 |
Okay...Imma cut it straight...I'm not a folk fan but this Finnish trio's debut is making me
reconsider. Sweet cheeseless and fast folk BM, super cool keyboards (of flutes, violins and
choirs) and several appointments off awesome DM thrash riffs hit my G spot every time. Even the
somewhat bad production adds something to this for me. I think the vocals here are just perfect.
First and well deserved 4.5 of the year. Recd track - Those Who are Long Gone. |
| Marrasmieli Marrasmieli | 3.5 |
| 2nd track absolutely slays m/ 1st one not so much...great debut EP! |

ahahahaha stopping by just to say this album is as unnecessary as awesome! If any doubts we could
have, Asleep in the Deep, stripped from the vocals is plain awesome stuff...Jaguar God with or
without vocals is toptier Mastodon. Live tracks are hail to some of the nastier ones on Blood
Mountain (my fave Mastodon on long term). New tracks rule. Basically this rocks. |
| Mastodon Hushed and Grim | 4.5 |
| As if disc 1 wasn t already a super solid display of Mastodon bangers, disc 2 is where it's at boys. They give you a spiritual connection to early Mastodon and specially Crack the Skye's sense of journeyand vibe. Although not as heavy, is certainly a mature, smoothed Mastodon which proves the band is aging well and aware. I asked for a new Mastodon full on prog and this is close enough. Exceded my expectations in every way, and specially based on the singles, that work much better in context. I want to say I love Gobblers of Dregs and Eyes of Serpents, but right before you have the heaviest here Savage Lands m/. Before those you have eerie almost power ballad Had it All and the bold experimental Peace and tranquility and esoteric Dagger. Disc 1 while not necessarily worse is certainly more direct and helps to kill the Don thirst. Big praise to the quantity, quality and rawness of the solos. This thing is drenched. Tk you Mastodon. |

| For me this album is a prog black/dark metal near masterpiece. Take these late dm acts like Horrendous or prog Cryptic Shift, with a fair blackened melodic slice from bands such as Dissection, adding these 70's prog vibe with chanting choirs and some wicked solos, provided by one of the dudes from the cover - since the main band are only 2 of them. Cover is as quirky as bold eheh as they are. It's definitely one misunderstood gem going by. I'll make sure it doesn't fall into oblivion. |

Perfect balance between the genres mentioned above, but not as cold-hearted as this sentence may
seem...Mizmor's sophomore is really a beauty beast of a piece m/ last track is relentless af |
| Mizmor מזמור | 3.0 |
Really as raw as it gets...although a very beginner's production work you could tell all the care
with atmosphere and the abrasiveness vs beauty. A bit too zzz tho |

| These guys can be both more experimental and more accessible than Nile. Great debut. Love the tribal vibe. This goes fuckin jazzier as you go. |
| Morbus Chron Sweven | 5.0 |
| I'm loving this so much. Groundbreaking prog/psych OSDM. I get the swedish school of DM with simply delightful practically acoustic moments. Really murked, like early Mastodon. On the verge of fiving. consecutive spinnings. replay value! |
| Morbus Chron Sleepers in the Rift | 4.0 |
| HM2 OSDM with doomy Obliteration. The more evident Psychedelic part was yet to come in the next release that leaped them 2 steps further.

| OK. This album destroys!!!! m/ crusty filthy doom, with accelerations of every kind. Massive drum sound. |
| Mortiferum Preserved in Torment | 4.5 |
| Motorpsycho The All Is One | 4.5 |
| Impressive and carefully written and mastered album, gathering all of Motorpsycho's influences, from Beatles 60's pop, to 70's prog (Genesis, Floyd etc...), spacey shiny psy stoner and even those hints of indie rock. My first time with this band and a hell of a greetings card. Fave tracks are The Magpie and the N.O.X. set of tracks are an ode to the psystoner genre...beast set of tracks and a beast of an album. |
| Motorpsycho Heavy Metal Fruit | 4.0 |
| I didn't feel much Heavy Metal, which can be a nice thing actually. This has a singular take on psy stoner in my opinion. Definitely a good entry on this massive band. |

| Mr. Bungle The Raging Wrath Of The Easter Bunny | 4.0 |
Who says you can't insert La Cucaracha in a thrash metal album??? Are you guys listening to this?
ALbum slaps! I think my fave tracks Bungle Grind, Loss For Words and Sudden Death...oh boooy m/m/
Unfortunately this album will be sput out from tons of non metal/ thrash fans. The dude is fucking
52 with these vocals omg, not to mention the top notch line up he gathered for this. |
| Mr. Bungle Mr. Bungle | 4.0 |
| Well...this is one fucked up clown's mind...and I wonder...are they all like this...I mean, inside? |
| Mr. Bungle Disco Volante | 3.0 |
The first release was super disturbing (like I was actually inside the head of that fucked up
clown), this one unfortunately seemed interesting on experimentation and textures exploration, but
on other hand seems like some band's endless hidden track from late 90's. |

| Muse Simulation Theory | 2.0 |
| I gave this a 2nd chance...Some tracks are actually listenable in that rpop/commercial concept they're trying to achieve...there's still a bunch of other annoying tracks rhere that makes this a poor work. This late 90's synth revivalism comes in fact a bit late (I ractually dug when QOTSA made it on their last release)...maybe its my issue but sometimes this rlooks like the soundtrack of some dad's 90's VHS futuristic porn.. Weird band nowadays....I don't rsee where they want to go with this...I did loved Muse. Favorite track: Blockades |

| Name Internet Killed The Audio Star | 4.0 |
| Napalm Death Apex Predator - Easy Meat | 4.0 |
| Napalm Death Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism | 4.5 |
| What an awesome continuation from Apex Predator. Production is a tad cleaner, yet they delve deeper in experimentation with this one, loosing a bit of the straight fw grindcore, specially noticeable in the post/ industrial takes a la Godflesh mixed with samples and nasty riffs like Pig Destroyer (f.e.), gives it this sense of dark/ disturbing instead of goofy. Def my kind of grindcore. |

Time to put some justice into this. This album is a major step fw from the debut, in terms of
writing, technicality and production. With these kind of unique time signatures they put
themselves among top acts like Tomb Mold, Ulthar, BI etc...as an all they nailed with the perfect
runtime (7 tracks) for this kind of DM, much like Tomb Mold. Riffs, leads and ID of their own
though, amazing drumming, and mainly catch how the solos fit super sweet. It's a really fun OSDM
listen and it may be one of the reasons why its being slightly overlooked here. Recd tracks: Dying
Life, Sinister Will, Mortal. |

| Nero di Marte Immoto | 3.5 |
They definitely have what I already can call Italian Dissonant Black Metal (from bands like Noise
Trail Immersion f.e.)...also find this to have a lot of "post math jazz rock" influence. I
understand complaints about the vocals, but I actually think they add a brilliant interpretation
characteristic. Very interesting release. The only set back is that it gets too loose and
atmospheric for me, loosing at the same time just a little bit of focus, that could turn this into
awesome levels (imo). Recd track - La Casa Del Diavolo |
| Nero di Marte Derivae | 4.0 |
| Definitely a step towards their more experimental outfit. |

Its really rstrange and I'm surprised by an instrumental record.rEDIT: Fuck that 3.5, I must go to a 4! no wait I'm going back to 3.5 because I'm disappointed with their background and previous releases |
| Nightwatchers La Paix Ou Le Sable | 3.5 |
| Nile Annihilation of the Wicked | 4.5 |
| Nile Vile Nilotic Rites | 4.0 |
| New vocals are very different from the uniqueness cof cof cof ones from classic Nile, but they end up having cool variations along the tracks. I think they are pretty interpretative, just different ...very powerful low growls, almost Akerfeldtlike and somewhat theatrical as, lets say, Sulphur Aeon or even Meshuggah at times (?)...very dynamic...anyway, just my view unprovided from any nostalgia. Album kicks asses. |

| Null (USA) Hiraeth | 4.0 |
| FolkBM when its done this remarkably, detailed and beautiful is a real treat for the ears. I honestly feel like I want to jump happily as a goblin! A double album with over 1h40m that I never feel it gets any old. It atmo, it folks but it also riffs as a mofo. Incredible variety within the genre, a very uplifting vibe and big step up defining this project new sound. I can see it grow to a 4.5 soon. |
| Null (USA) Lore of a Sleeping Forest | 3.5 |
| Numenorean Adore | 4.5 |
| Oh boy...this comes out to me many times as if Deftones and Gojira had a blackgaze child, but I'm sure everyone would find their own vibes from this, across many genres, from punk rock to osdm. This sense of nostalgia does not compromise how fresh and modern this still sounds. Full of melody, memorable tracks, hooks, catchiness and highlights (rare in the genre). In love with it. Recd tracks: Portrait of Pieces;Horizon; Regret; Coma. |
| Numenorean Home | 3.5 |

drumms constantly changing the pace and consequently the genre itself!BM, death, thrash,
punkharcore and doom. The other instruments though, are pretty stiff in tone and mood but
perfectly executed in plain BDM/OSDM but with an own identity. The minor setback is lack of
variability makes you be fully focused on little changes. Fave tracks: T/t and Detestation Rite. |
| Obliteration Black Death Horizon | 4.0 |
| The bass on this or something is whipping me the sound of a Jew's Harp instrument lots of times....a "boingboing" just like it lmao...but if you don't focus on it its a really enthralling OSDM doom experience. Really solid Band. On second listen I didn't focused on that that much and its in fact really hell of an album. |
| Obliteration Nekropsalms | 4.5 |
| Wow this one is a massive jam m/ maybe simpler songwriting (doom first and OSDM/thrash then and then again) but my fave from Obliteration m/m/ all sweet deathdoom bangers. The drums are impressive, and the bass as some crazy cool effects. considering the 5 bump. |
| Obliteration Perpetual Decay | 4.5 |
| You're in this for a really grindy OSDM riff fest with shredding solos. You get the real Death and thrash vibes here. Practically no doom. Awesome and relentless debut. Production is really great and the vocals are mainly low growls but really punchy and interpretative. I put like on every track lol |

| Of Feather and Bone Embrace The Wretched Flesh | 3.0 |
| Solid and raw mix of beatdown grind hardcore and BM. |
| Of Feather and Bone Sulfuric Disintegration | 4.0 |
| This album hates us all...its very unwelcoming but weirdly rewarding after a couple of listens. Really abrasive and noisy sounding, yet they manage to go as fast as hell and still fit in a prime slower deathdoom track (Noctemnania ), offering a really nice balance to a very disturbing exp overall...closer fuckin slays with riffs. Perfect length for the genre. |

| Pentagram First Daze Here Too | 4.0 |
Its really a bummer the bad production of CD2. Those tracks would kick even more ass...disagree on
calling CD1 mainstream though. Its very well produced, and yeah more rock than doomy fuzzy, maybe
that's why the impression. Recd Tracks - Teaser; Man; Target. |

| Periphery Periphery IV: Hail Stan | 3.0 |
| This album promises so much on those first 3 tracks and then those other tracks clearly trying to reach a broader yet dumber audience. Its a pretty commercial unhearted decision, specially once you see zero effort in songwriting...nothing to say about technical aspects...and the dude has great vocals. Recd track - Reptile |
| Perpetua (PT) Esperar para Ver | 3.0 |
| Sweet post punk pop rock portuguese record. The downside is all tracks try to achieve what Blockbuster acomplishes. Falei de Cor is more rock distorded and it feels pretty good. |

this is a great PD release (now with bass) full of groove and some longer tracks. Don't trust the
AVG cause its full of ppl suffering from melancholia that already knew their rating before listen
to the album. Enjoy the groove for yourself, always considering this ain't no classic and they are
different from what they used to. Better than BookBurner imo

Portishead kinda thing...its depressive indeed but several sweet tracks. Enjoying it so far.
Brilliant work of textures. I'm a huge fan of these guys. |
| Portrayal of Guilt Portrayal of Guilt | 4.0 |
I usually don't rate EP's but these guys are a must...They go all-round and underground Punk
Blackcore with Post Noise...I want the LP! If you imagine a Rolo Tomassi with The Body and Full of
Hell but going BM&Punk&HC this is what you get |
| Portrayal of Guilt Let Pain Be Your Guide | 4.0 |
| The 4 I'm giving to this 3.5 album is because I don't want to forget this band and its amazing potential. The 3 singles (Among Friends, A Burden and Your War) and the closer Until we're dust are indeed groundbreaking as they circle between Noise, Punk, BM and Hardcore (and other you may find) genres in tracks sometimes below 2 minutes. The rest is pretty much the band experimenting their sound in a conceptual "go nowhere" manner, so you can be a little disappointed at the end. |
| Portrayal of Guilt Audiotree Live | 4.0 |
| Portrayal of Guilt We Are Always Alone | 4.0 |
| Their melodic sections certainly give this cool post hardcore feel to it, but when they scream is more towards the nihilistic sludgecore area. They really nailed it here with where I wanted for them to go to. Like a more "accessible" (lol) Full of Hell. This shit is awesome for the 26 insane minutes. |
| Portrayal of Guilt Christfucker | 3.0 |

| This album is very good though and its like a starting mash up, that match my tastes on too many parts for me to ignore, and it slowly builds into one own identity as the album goes on. The album is very immediate, but, in my experience, it holds to many listens. 70 minutes fly by. Fave tracks are Sannanda, Celestial Dictator....and beast 15 minutes closer. Basically what Dedex said in his soundoff but with 4.5 rate. |
| Psychonaut & Saver Emerald | 3.5 |
| Psychotic Waltz The God-Shaped Void | 2.5 |
| I like everything...yet nothing on here...except the badass flute on Pull the String...but I'm sure its a musical joke on here X) good production, well executed, well sang (even though a bit cheesy) and even well written, but the pact they seem to made to do not riff fast hurts my butt...cause it ain't even doom...it's a slow paced hard rock and its not for me. This is the living proof psychotic differs from psychedelic, as the tags firstly suggested... |
| Pulling Teeth Funerary | 5.0 |
| Apocalyptic piece of HXC-Thrash crossover, going further exploring metalcore and continuing the doom they found in the previous album. This "goodbye album" is full of features and its clearly divided in two parts - the first clearly thrash-HC-metalcore and the second more doomy and introspective. The apocalyptic and psych vibes are all around the album as well. I have to mention the dude's vocal originality and filthiness too. Its brilliant, its a bummer they ended and more people should check Pulling Teeth! Hey old maaaaaaaaaaahhhhn....Are you better off naaaaaaaaaaaoooooow? |
| Pulling Teeth Paranoid Delusions/Paradise Illusions | 4.5 |

| Regarde Les Hommes Tomber Ascension | 4.0 |
| OMFG if that ain't a way to end a metal album I don't know what is m/m/m/. Honestly think this is a big step up from their previous, which I dig a lot but still feel it is "one sided mood" and relies to much on atmo. Recd tracks - The Crowning; Au Bord du Gouffre.r |
| Relations (GER) From Birth to Death | 4.0 |
Hardcore with a very metallic approach. Punchy, groovy, with some dm, thrash and even doomesque
vibes, weather in slow riff or actually synth, (yap, Check Hangman f.e.),specially in the end of
the songs giving them great hooks and climax. Very balanced with the perfect length and variation
for the genre. |
| Reverie (DK) Bliss | 4.0 |
Excellent OSDM with some pleasing BM and punk influences and progressions. Check the tracks Fall
Apart, First Reverie and Circles. Oh and the bass on Blind at Heart... |
| Revocation Deathless | 4.0 |
| The complaint I have on this is the immense amount of riffs making me not reminding a single one m/m/m/! Loving the the production here as well...its been a time since I've listened to a metal album where I didn't have to put vol practically up to max...this manages to be pretty loud and sweet way below. |
| Revocation Netherheaven | 4.5 |
| Just the perfect dose of brutallity and technicallity, and kinda fresh and tight (just prog enough) songwriting. Totally stoked with this, maybe unlike many that seem a little tired of so called formula I haven't figured out yet. Not to mention the perfect production |
| Revulsion (FIN) Revulsion | 3.5 |
| I do like this groove ngl, albeit the album may lack a little of density, its a bit direct. It's still a pretty good and bad ass debut effort. |
| REZN Chaotic Divine | 4.0 |
Super pleasant journey through psy stoner, heavy doom, reggae dub and middle eastern vibes.
Chill&Heavy. |
| REZN Solace | 4.0 |
| Awesome album! I'm a sucker for the band since Chaotic Divine, which has a little more dub vibe. They are really good. So cool how they keep it so chill and so heavy at the same time. |
| Rhapsody of Fire Power of the Dragonflame | 4.0 |
| Rhododendron Protozoan Battle Hymns | 4.0 |

| Richard Cheese The Sunny Side of the Moon | 3.5 |
| Richard Cheese Lounge Against The Machine | 4.5 |
| Rifftera Across The Acheron | 3.5 |
Both their albums rule hard m/m/. The melodic vocals balance with the harsh ones pretty well and
original. The melodic parts may get a little too much at times for the genre on a pair of tracks
though. The songwriting is not very surprising, but it really sets the identity of the band after
the debut. Recd Tracks - Eye of the Storm; Cry Wolf |
| Rifftera Pitch Black | 4.0 |
Great riffing. This one is a bit more badass than the sophomore.Really cool details on electronic
aspects and slick progressiveness on all tracks. Easy 4 and all tracks has something to look for.

Glad we're all digging Ripped to Shreds. Being a
deathgrind release its impressive how memorable
and dynamic it is. They even managed to put a 10
minute track (In Solitude) with a doom finale a la
Hooded Menace. Also the solos are super cool! |
| Ripper (CL) Experiment of Existence | 4.0 |
| Rivers of Nihil Where Owls Know My Name | 4.5 |
| Who says DeathMetal can't be relaxing? Classy and smooth release from Rivers of Nihil, going really "proggy sax&pink floydish" at times on this one. If you check their t/T videoclip you see them ironically dressed up as 70's psychedelic hipsters, which gave me a cool twist of "funny fellas".rRecd Tracks - The Silent Life; A Home |
| Rivers of Nihil Monarchy | 4.0 |
| Rivers of Nihil The Work | 3.0 |
| The Work feels more like a work in progress?...unlike prev album, this flows quite bad, very disjointed and kinda riffless. Meshuggaish track Dreaming Black Clockwork (clockwork lol), MORE? and maybe the closer are prob the best ones here. I get they are trying to make a more dynamic sound to a stiff genre, it's just not the way to do it. If its a grower shout back to me. tks |

| Roger Waters The Dark Side of the Moon Redux | 1.5 |
| Roisin Murphy Roisin Machine | 4.0 |
| Rolo Tomassi Time Will Die And Love Will Bury It | 4.5 |
| this album is really good...gonna bump it again...some times the hype and little girl's vocal annoys me...but then I give the album space to breathe and I come back to it and feel like 4.5 to 5 it. This quality really sticks...how gentle and soft it starts, then it gets really darker and heavier...then the jazz and piano features just give them that uniqueness and identity. Adding to that is the way everything flows because everything is brilliantly connected. |

I honestly wasn't expecting having this much fun m/ Their kind of "one chord riffing" is
relentless and pretty unique imo (I dont know much of HM) and when they go prog they have a
certain psychedelic flare I really dig. Would like to give 3.7 but goes with 4 for cause 3.5 seems
too low for so much fun. fave tracks here are Cruel Magic, Death Knell for a King and Mortality. |

concept too. Guardians of Earth acoustic (and all song tbh) is so m/! Pentagram is one hell of an
instrumental track. Also Raging Void's drums have some arrhythmic flow making it damn interesting
and Voivod(esque) at times. Rating 3.8. |

| A Noite Passada is definitely one of my fave folk songs ever, period. |
| Sergio Godinho Os Sobreviventes | 4.0 |
| The ending solo on Mare Alta is pretty bold for the time. |
| Sergio Godinho O Canto da Boca | 3.5 |
| Serpent Column Mirror In Darkness | 4.5 |
| Crazy awesome mathy post blackcore piece I must say. I loved the more urban feel this has in relation to debut. A step up in terms of deep atmosphere and riffs. If you dig your hardcore and your crazy BM you oughta check this. |
| Serpent Column Endless Detainment | 3.5 |
2 first tracks induced me pure chaos, but then I got all the hard(math)core and bdm influences
that makes this awesome noisy yet kind of dynamic sound. After I checked their 2 LP's I needed to
lower the rate here. |
| Serpent Column Ornuthi Thalassa | 4.0 |
Okay. Come on this is really awesome. Songs
didn't need to be this long. Otherwise I'd 4.5
it right away. |

| This is an excellent (4) punk album but historically classic (5)rRecd Tracks - God Save The Queen; Anarchy in The UK |
| Shades of Deep Water Death's Threshold | 3.5 |
| I'm not big on funeral doom, but could listen to track 2 all day. |
| Shadow Of Intent Melancholy | 3.5 |
| Album is pretty solid but ultimately sterile, which makes some emotional passages needless, and even cringy at times. Classic but tight songwriting. Recd tracks - The Dreaded Mystic Abyss; Oudenophobia; Barren and Breathless.r |
| Shame (UK) Drunk Tank Pink | 4.0 |
| Well, I have to say this pretty much suited me. Specially after the first 2 tracks, which are still kinda indifferent to me. The darker tone they show on the next tracks is really spot on. Vocals are pretty standard for these new postpunk bands a la IDLES. There's def a Protomartyr vibe too.. The drumming is really good actually. So, not really innovative, but it did it with me! |
| Shipwreck A.D. Abyss | 3.5 |
| Shirokuma Clothes I Wear For The Space I'm In | 3.0 |
| Shores of Null Beyond the Shores (On Death and Dying) | 4.0 |
| A 40' minutes track to remember. From deep funeral doom to prog metal a la Opeth, makes this an intense, varied, but also very well written journey. |

| Skeletal Remains The Entombment of Chaos | 3.5 |
| Pretty good OSDM, with a little cleaner production from what we are used to on all these new acts (Tomb Mold, BI etc). Riffs for days, although I wish this had more tracks like Tombs of Chaos. |
| Skeletal Remains Fragments of the Ageless | 3.5 |
| Skeleton Skeleton | 3.0 |
| Skeletonwitch Devouring Radiant Light | 4.0 |
| Disguised as classic Blackened Thrash, this goes beyond that. Always giving this melodic and epic/ folk sentiment to the songs, but at the same time showing us somewhat of a punk/ hardcore attitude to the riffs. Oldschool and modern meet again. |

| Oof. Site almost got me thinking this was the next cool thing. Well done. |
| Slift Ummon | 4.5 |
| Album is pretty brilliant. The variance shown for a psystoner album is impressive...the album flow is also remarkable. Spacey guitars, psy synths, 70's vibe choirs and tight little bad assdrumming. I get some awesome late Elder vibes on this. Recd track - Citadel on a Satellite. |
| Slift Space Is The Key | 3.0 |
| Slift Ilion | 4.5 |
| Slimelord Chytridiomycosis Relinquished | 4.0 |
| Leaning to 4. Interesting soundscapes. Some spacegaze Afterbirth vibes too, but yeah more Osdm like obliteration fe (even if obliteration is doomier) |
| Slint Spiderland | 4.5 |
| Album is pretty flooring once you insist on its mood. Also immensely relevant on music's History. |
| Slint Tweez | 3.5 |
| Guitar work is definitely interesting. A very experimental piece searching for textures and tunes. |
| Slint Slint | 4.0 |

Such an interesting release for the genre. Vocals are awesome and clean echoed. To the sludge
thick slow riffing you add this synth soundscapes and almost gothic organ at times, giving the
desired sense of space and somewhat dark. Cool af release. Recd Tracks - Gears of Despair;
Telemachus My Sun; Organic Caverns II. |

| Slugdge Esoteric Malacology | 5.0 |
| So many riffs, incredible technique and the songwriting my friends...heavy, beautiful and fast with a more than interesting use of screams, growls and melodic vocals. I'd recommend the whole thing but Crop Kille and Salt Thrower are big highlights. This is a game-changer imo. |

3 disc digipack set. Journey through the decrepitude of Slugdge's first three years, translating
the terrible portents of the netherslugs who permeate the fabric of our very reality, and spare
yourself total metaphysical annihilation at the slimy feelers of our new gastropod overlords. Wrap
your dry, desiccated cadavers in slime imbued fineries, and attempt to achieve transcendental

| Soen Cognitive | 3.5 |
| Soen Lykaia | 4.0 |
| Soen Lotus | 3.5 |
| I agree this is not as strong as Lykaya, still consistent and pretty emotional this one. All tracks are slick, only setting back for having a standard songwriting on all tracks. Depending on this year releases it may be a grower. Recd Tracks - Opponent; Lotus |
| Soen Imperial | 3.0 |
| And their path towards mainstream continues. Albeit I may dig more albums such as Lykaia f.e. this can be seen as they creating their own thing, instead of emulating Opeth with Tool. |
| Soilwork Verkligheten | 4.0 |
| though simple, formulaic, and some hardrock in the mix (several ingredients for me to dislike) there's some cool variation in each track keeping things interesting. Recd Tracks - The Nurturing Glance; When The Universe Spoke |
| Soilwork The Ride Majestic | 3.5 |
| Soilwork Overgivenheten | 2.5 |
| Sol Distorsion Sol Distorsion | 3.5 |

| Melodies, emotion and atmosphere are really intense here. I agree it sits darker and deeper as you enter it. |

There's something really cool on this hard rock outfit mixed with super group prog wanking. Really
dig the piano added on King of Delusion and the ending 15 minute track is sure another highlight. |

CARALHO PORRA CARALHO" |
| Soulfly Ritual | 3.5 |
Soulfly done right! Ritual, Summoning and Demonized are awesome tracks. Nothing new tbh except the
track Feedback! with a oldschool thrash riff and the classic UM DOIS TRÊS QUATRO followed by Not a

For someone that listens to pretty much one sided stuff, this is very one sided, I honestly felt I
was listening to the same song, the same mood, the same 3 notes in different songs...awful
experience overall...there's practically nothing on this genre (emo) that I can see above average
music. I try to peak to see what's hype about and end up always disappointed. |
| Spectral Blood Black Famine | 3.5 |
| Spectral Lore III | 4.0 |
| Spectral Lore Ετερόφωτος | 4.0 |
| If its "20 minutes of nothing" why take them into account then? Their explanation on bandcamp explained why like this output a little more over III. But that's just personal. |
| Spectral Lore and Mare Cognitum Wanderers: Astrology of the Nine | 4.0 |
| This is amazing and full of variety to keep you through the 2 hour journey. High quality BM. I'm very pleased with our Galaxy, our planet not so much. Potential bump on this beast. |
| Spectral Lore and Mare Cognitum Sol | 4.0 |
| This rate goes solely and exclusively for track Sol Ouroboros, which is a 5/5 track and I never want to forget about it. The other 2 tracks are also cool but only brought this rate down. |

This band sounds really classic and modern at the same time...coolest band and this is super hard
to pull off. Band is def on par with peers such as Khemmis or Pallbearer (Realizing that now).
Album is as sweet step ahead from their debut. Recd Tracks - Divided by Darkness; Hear Her. |
| Spirit Adrift Enlightened In Eternity | 3.0 |
| I'm not sure if this full on doomless Heavy Metal mode is for me at all. Forget about it...go listen to Divided By Darkness. |
| Spiritbox Eternal Blue | 2.0 |
| SpiritWorld Deathwestern | 3.0 |
| The sound is pre awesome but am I missing smth?...nothing western here. All songs on the same note and basic crossover slayer hxc. I know this may have some complementary art etc but as an album it kinda goes hard but it does not leave the station. |
| State Faults Clairvoyant | 4.0 |
| Stellar Master Elite Hologram Temple | 4.5 |
what!? a BM album with a DMT explanation sample from Terence McKenna a la Shpongle? Sold....you

| This was great. Was hoping for a 60 minutes suffering piece ngl XD |
| Suffering Hour The Cyclic Reckoning | 4.0 |
| The cool thing about this, and what makes this unique tbf, are the absense of the usual chugs, the way they use dissonance to reach some really catchy and melodic hooks, and offcourse the atmospheric approach, I mean, the heaviest thing here are prob the vocals. Instrumentally it differs from the usual bdm we are used too, and disso bdm in particular. Its quite a jam. It's more catchy than the previous, I think they cemented and assumed their sound here. I love the rock writing nature/ approach of it. |

| Sufjan Stevens and Lowell Brams Aporia | 2.0 |
| Sugar Horse The Live Long After | 4.0 |
| "A decidedly average band." as selfdescribed on their own bandcamp page sets the bar right away, so you go for it with no expectations. Kinda simple in riffs, but it's nailed on atmosphere and dynamics, going between what they call "shoegaze", that on here for me stands for post punk or hardcore with (scr)emo reminiscences, with them gorgeous soundscapes, to the thickest of doomsludge riffs, with them badass and heavy af sound. Screamed vocals speak Keith Buckley (ETID) to me too much to ignore it, in a very good way. Exquisite? Yes. Awkward? Yes. A Banger? Indeed. Go for it. |
| Suldusk Lunar Falls | 3.0 |
| Sulphur Aeon The Scythe of Cosmic Chaos | 4.5 |
| Really well done and impressive BlackDeath a la Behemoth. Beautiful esoteric vibe and some war&summon anthems VS some kind of misery attached, throughout all album. Immense variety of vocals and great ambiance. Great Replay value as well. Recd Tracks - The Summoning of Nyarlathotep; Sinister Sea Sabbath; The Oneironaut |
| Sulphur Aeon Gateway to the Antisphere | 4.0 |
| ok this one is awesome too. rIf this one had the latest production and highlights/ slogans (like "ONEIRONAAAAAUT!" or "SINISTER SEEEEA SABBAAAAATH" f.e.) would be has good as The Scythe of Cosmic Chaos. rThe more often variation on vocals on the last one should be mentioned as well, and ends up giving more dynamic and interpretation value. |
| SUMAC Love In Shadow | 3.0 |
| yeah! fuck yeah....ok...nah...oh cool!...great atmosphere uuuuh...what then? ok lets go...nope...awesome drums...calm down guys, they're experimenting for other bands.rRecd Track - Attis' Blade |

| T2 It'll All Work Out in Boomland | 4.5 |
| Talanas The Waspkeeper | 2.5 |
I found this a really lame kind of metal. Vocals are really unappealing and the progression of the
songs doesn't make it up...everything is too standart (?) zero soul on this...the most commercial
version of Akercocke you could imagine. The good instrumentation doesn't keep it from being
average on my taste. |
| Tame Impala The Slow Rush | 4.0 |
| It might be Time and One more Our are my faves. Bad call for a Valentine's day album though. Very detailed and very DaftPunkish. I'm gonna set at 3.5 but still don't know if its growing like a mofo or dropping like another. Edit - growing like a mofo. |
| Tame Impala Currents | 4.0 |
| Landmark album. A must listen. Every tune will get you. |
| Tame Impala Lonerism | 4.5 |
| Best Tame Impala. You feel the connection between both Currents and Innerspeaker, perfectly balanced and in a very iconic way. Apocalypse Dream, Why Won't you talk to me, Feels Like We Only Go Backwards and Elephant are major highlights in a whole massive highlight. |
| Tame Impala Innerspeaker | 4.0 |

| Telekinetic Yeti Primordial | 4.0 |
| Super torn between a 3.5 and a 4 cause the fuzz is stoner, and as real as it gets. Vocals are troy sanders af but always in the back (in a cool way). Great stuff to get stoned. |
| Temple Guard Spear of the Revenant | 4.0 |
Thickest hxc for fans of bands like Cult Leader,
or Knocked Loose, full of mean af hooks and still
inventive riffs, double vocals and some sprinkled
voice samples to keep it political. Amazing debut. |
| Temple of Void Of Terror And The Supernatural | 4.5 |
As promising debut as the cover suggests. Awesome deathdoom piece. Living proof DM can be really
cool and extreme without tons of speed. The instrumental acoustic folk piece breathes Opeth, ahah.
Recd track - Exanimate Gaze. |
| Temple of Void Lords Of Death | 4.0 |
The band is an hidden gem yall should dig. Promising band in the Death Metal scene. Maybe this
album as a whole is not as strong as the debut, but they sure did a better effort on creating this
dissonant atmosphere very "Hooded Menace like". This album has 3 definite highlights - Wretched
Banquet, A Watery Internment's ending and the use of old school Doom Melodic Singing
(Candlemasslike) in such an heavy piece like Graven Desires is
truly epic. |
| Temple of Void The World That Was | 4.0 |
Here I am, working at home, holding a (the 3rd) glass of red, and 4.5ing (as expected) a DeathDoom
album I was holding in anticipation. These guys simply know how to tight riff and get heavy
without the crazy speed, maintaining (as I expected) a sick ,slight dissonance in the melodic
leads very Hooded Menacelike that makes this my beach...also this guy's vocals are sow low yet
perceivable, which seems almost impossible. Recd Tracks - Self Schism; Casket of Shame. EDIT: I
was a tad drunk, but album is a solid 4. |
| Temple of Void Summoning the Slayer | 3.5 |
| Tentacult Lacerating Pattern | 4.0 |
| They do have the art of keeping it simple, in order to keep it flowy. Also they switch to doom and bm pretty seemlessly. Pretty dang cool. The cover is also cool af. |
| Terra Sapiens Quest | 3.0 |
| Instrumental. too short for what are trying to achieve. still pretty cool ideas though. |
| Terra Sapiens Space Odyssey | 3.0 |
| Terra Sapiens Expanse | 3.0 |
| Terra Sapiens Dark Mass | 3.5 |
| This one is a little better in length and therefor progression. Still too short though. This has real value once you put together all their discog. |
| Terra Sapiens Connection lost | 3.5 |
| Terra Sapiens Symphony of space war | 3.5 |
| Terra Sapiens The presence of a ghost | 3.5 |
This last EP for sure shows them getting towards a darker sound which is really interesting. They
should bet in a big long drone LP with this dark sound. The occasional growls are very welcome! |

| Its okay...a little too Cedric worship and everything serving it (and he's not even that good here).rI miss the conflict of the instruments trying to stand out on each track. Also, its a no rocker |
| The Menzingers After the Party | 2.5 |
| The Mire Glass Cathedrals | 4.5 |
| A great hidden gem here TKS to Shuyin. Beautiful balance between melodic and screaming. Personally this touches some Poison The Well and Deftones buttons with a PostMetal vibe (CoL and The Ocean). These guys pull it off perfectly without becoming cheesy or too emo. Creative work, though towards the end the lack of complexity in guitar work, may not much being added. The drumming is by far the best performance here. A really stand out. False Idols, Triple Gemini and Dark Sun are my faves. |

| The Ocean Phanerozoic I: Palaeozoic | 4.5 |
This is a beautiful piece of art. This time the band went full postmetal on this one and nailed
it. All tracks with astounding progression and ambiance, beautiful melodic vocals and dynamic
tracks. Starts right with Cambrian II: Eternal Recurrence as the first and more memorable
highlight, Devonian: NascentKatatonia feat Katatonia another and the closer track nailing hard. |
| The Ocean Precambrian | 4.5 |
two parts. The first one with an odd but surprisingly good punkrock vibe. The second one with a
more postmetal feel. The way these songs progress is speechless. Everything is unexpectedly raw.
And damn those violins... |
| The Ocean Pelagial | 3.5 |
| The Ocean Fluxion | 3.0 |
| honestly this one would win if they had more melodic vocals (like on the last 2 tracks). Though good, I found it a bit too much unmemorable tbh. |

Great Portuguese band (From members from Holocausto Canibal, Colosso, Dementia 13). Sometimes it
may look too simplistic, but amazing drumworks with vicious guitar solos and malicious growls are
really impressive. Poison Fumes is the shit m/...
Edit - This grew a lot on second listen. This is kind of special stuff in the Portuguese scene
imo. Besides Poison Fumes being the obvious "single"...those last 3 tracks are enthralling as hell
once you're already into the "trance" the album can provide. Dive in this. The vibe is amazingly
evil. |

| The Ruins of Beverast The Thule Grimoires | 4.5 |
| Approaching a more gothic industrial vibe on this one, not so focused on heaviness, or the maddening fast bm (see Rain Upon the Impure), but definitely showing how versatile this guy can be. The atmosphere as always is sick and spot on. Digging more and more the melodic vocals (props for the amount of different type of vocals he can reach). Another big piece with room to grow on me. That closer is so lushy, woof. |

Really solid release that culminates with
Bending Hectic exploding. Surpirsingly solid
to jam whenever and wherever. Wait for it to
unfolfd and give it the fair chance. |
| The Spirit Cosmic Terror | 3.0 |
| Everything is very well done, although also a bit inoffensive/ sterile. |
| The Spirit Sounds from the Vortex | 4.0 |
now this one is much more edgy. great debut...plenty of hooks, which is uncommon in the genre.
Constantly shifting leads and pace really keeps you engaged track to track. |
| The Strokes The New Abnormal | 4.0 |
| I say this release is very intelligent.. Eternal Summer is very daft punkish. The album takes somewhat of a surprising and welcome turn, from Eternal Summer onwards, providing variety and showing songwriting abilities. Opener, Selfless, Bad Decisions, Eternal Summer, At the Door, Not the Same, Ode to the Mets are all tracks that stick. It's cool that some songs reminds us of some others famous ones. Band seems back in the game and I feel this as much has the debut.r |
| The Strokes Is This It | 4.0 |
| The Strokes Room on Fire | 4.0 |
| A very balanced and focused album enhancing the band's strengths. |
| The Strokes First Impressions of Earth | 3.5 |
| This could be prob my fave from The Strokes..The band maintains its identity and leaps onto other shores from loads of contemporary fave bands of mine (Muse, QOTSA, Interpol, Radiohead etc...). First 4 tracks are awesome, Vision of Division and kinda dig Electricityscape. The album meanders and have some tracks that are major step-backs. I know the line is thin but some times not only Casablancas but the whole band seems to be drunk. Still rate 3.5 cause it has some of their darkest tracks. |

Well friends...not getting how this don't have more rates...even if you're familiarized with the

friends. look at the beautiful rates on this. not a single 3. this is their best compilation.

All album is very good. Track 5 and 6 really clicked with me, but hey, I'm a big fan of that flute
folksy vibe with electronics a la Shpongle. Geometria somehow gave me no interest on checking
their discog...now I want to do them all. No complaints on the metal sections at all! Its really
awesome how seamless the genre fusion gets on Naiv. |
| Thy Catafalque Vadak | 4.0 |
| One of a kind project. If you love prog and experimental metal and had your share of psy(bient)trance this is for you. The multiplicity of instruments is also outstanding. |

| So, it really still feels like Tomb Mold but yeah in a more shiny DM approach...nothing wrong so far m/ I like this band very much. It jazzgroooves boys. Tom Mold goes to space, keeping their ID and time signatures and that's brilliant. Also a certain southern rock feel is maintaineds and praised by me. Recd Tracks - Beg for life; T/trackrCelurean Salvation; Accelerative rPhenomenae.r |
| Tomb Mold Aperture of Body | 4.0 |
Wished for a thicker production but they went
solo for this ep and it still rocks a punch.
First 2 minute intro goes full on Timewave
Zero. Aperture of Body is the banger and
Prestige of Rebirth takes the long road. Edit:
diferent sound from what I remember on the
2023 release. Bump |
| Tomb Mold The Enduring Spirit | 4.5 |
| Tombs Monarchy of Shadows | 3.5 |
| Tombs Path of Totality | 4.0 |
| Tombs Under Sullen Skies | 4.0 |
| Simple but effective riffs, great production, huge and heavy sound, incredible songwriting - makes you circle to a true dark depressing metal compendium (BM, DM, Post, Sludge, Hardcore, Doom, Funeral Doom even...) everything we love on metal can be found here and still holds as one whole very solid narrative - again, simple on the surface, the album offers a lot of complexity, and an overall dark vibe you can just get lost in (in a good way). It could def get a little trim on some songs, but it feels very convincing overall, its a very good one for several listens.r |
| Tool Lateralus | 5.0 |
| Tool 10,000 Days | 4.5 |
| Tool Ænima | 5.0 |
| Tool Undertow | 4.5 |
| Tool Opiate | 4.0 |
| Sweat just rocks m/. Vocals on Hush just awesome. Guitar riff on Part of Me just amazing. Live tracks just flawless. This more straight forward approach metal turned out to be an excellent addition to Tool's catalogue. Kick ass of an EP! |
| Tool Fear Inoculum | 5.0 |
| Torche Admission | 3.5 |
| Although each track have fairly one riff, the vibe and atmo are awesome and somewhat original (?). For sure they teach Baroness a lesson how to produce a sludge album.rAdmission is one of the best ones here...certainly different from the rest of the album...almost tunes from bands like Interpol etc (post The Cure etc). Also dig the slight change on What Was to make almost a single chorus...its a pity they don't gamble more on these slight changes X |
| Tosca Going Going Going | 4.0 |
| Going Going Going goes, and delves deeper as it goes, through dub, downtempo, clubb, rooftop andrpsychedelic, while remaining always minimal, great sound to chill from the well known duet Kruderr& Dorfmeister. |
| Touche Amore Stage Four | 2.5 |
| Toxik Dis Morta | 3.0 |
| Toxik Attack Assassinos em Série | 3.0 |
Portuguese OldSchool Thrash Metal band. This has some damn original vocals sang in Portuguese.
Some say its addictive, I personally think its really good speed thrash but with laughing content
regarding old school DM themes. So it speaks about death but in parody joyful way. Recd Track -
Loucos pelo Old School; Seita do Punhal |
| Trap Them Crown Feral | 3.5 |
it starts really grindly promising, but it falls short in the 2nd part...cool listening and ending
track though |

| Triangulo de Amor Bizarro oɹɹɐzıqɹoɯɐǝpolnƃuɐıɹʇ | 3.5 |
| This is interesting, even if it seems that the band is divided between postpunk revival/noise rock and the neo Japan dreampop (even if this is in Spanish). As if one member from the band wants one thing and some other wants another. The title being the band up side down is completely anoying...good stuff all around tho. |
| Tribulation Vengeance | 4.0 |
| Tribulation Down Below | 4.5 |
| This album has grown 3-4 for me. Recently I've become more sensitive to this sound and this one is pure filth&class. Edit - 4.5 - These dudes are infectious and rule live m/m/ conquered! |
| Tribulation The Formulas of Death | 4.5 |
1st step on transforming their sound, the mixing of psychedelic with a somewhat osdm and bm vibe
is just top notch. They've completely excelled this time and went right up my alley. One thing I'm
over enjoying in here (call me what you want lol) is the more proggy side dm/osdm, reminding bands
such as Morbus Chron f.e. This is Tribulation's prime effort for me atm. Recd Tracks - Suspiria;
Spell |
| Tribulation The Children of the Night | 4.0 |
| These guys have that awesome swede smoothness I came to love... |
| Tribulation The Horror | 4.0 |
Awesome, quick, fast paced. Thrash-death flirting hxc a la Entombed...great debut, showing the
ability, yet leaving little clue about the class this band would come to be made of. |
| Tribulation Where the Gloom Becomes Sound | 4.0 |
| The last one with Hulten on the writings. You could call it a little safe in continuation from Down Below. The back half of the album shows a little more energy and progression. Love Tribulation - Daughter of the Djinn and Funeral Pyre are prob my 2 faves. |

| Tropical Fuck Storm A Laughing Death in Meatspace | 4.0 |
| Tropical Fuck Storm Braindrops | 3.5 |
| The album definetely lacks the punk energy from the first one. I have to say it ends pretty strong emotionaly but first part is a bit of a let down imo, creatively speaking. Maybe its a grower yeah...r |
| Tropical Fuck Storm Deep States | 3.5 |
| Trouble Trouble/Psalm 9 | 4.5 |

| Turnstile Glow On | 4.0 |
| I felt like a kid again but with these litlle postish electronic touches to justify why listen to it now, giving it some sort of freshness ahah very cool. Found it pretty tasteful. It riffs!r |
| Turris Eburnea Turris Eburnea | 4.0 |
| I know this is an EP but its only flaw is being too short. Well done, and albeit intricate and complex it manages to be very dynamic. Cotard Delusion creeps da fuck out with the violin line in the middle. The "tender yet disturbing" psyjazzy solo on Syncretism Incarnate is also proof of the dynamics, both on instruments and writing. Props for the sick bassline. For fans of Gorguts, Artificial Brain and the new pretty boys Ad Nauseam. |
| Two People First Body | 4.0 |
| Two People Second Body | 3.5 |
| I like this album and the group's vibe, but as the cover even suggests, it comes as a bit lazy, when comparing to the debut's quality, experimentation and feeling, on all tracks. |
| Type O Negative Slow, Deep, and Hard | 4.5 |
| TypeOneg at their rawest but still a very conceptual album. Unexpected talented band for me. From Doom to thrash, to punkRock, to gothic, to industrial. As dark as hilarious. Recd Tracks - Xero Tolerence; Prelude to Agony. |
| Type O Negative Dead Again | 4.0 |
strong return, with many progressive tracks, awesome jams and Beatles reminiscences. Recd Tracks -
Tripping a Blind Man; These Three Things; An Ode Locksmiths; Hail and Farewell to Britain |
| Type O Negative Bloody Kisses | 4.5 |
| A girl cums, then first 2 tracks in and I thought "this is dogshit" then started to get all those different vibes and influences track to track...from Doom to punk to industrial and yeah gothic...really amusing. |
| Type O Negative The Origin of the Feces | 3.0 |
| ahahahahahahah good joke. YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK! |
| Type O Negative October Rust | 5.0 |
| Beast of an album. Type O neg approach their shoegazy grunge rock influences and make this doom, slow, sludgy work of art that haunts you and makes fun of you at the same time. Btw bassline is amazing throughout. I hate the mornings too X)... Recd tracks - Love you to eath; Red Water; In Praise of Bacchus; Haunted |

| Ulver The Assassination of Julius Caesar | 4.0 |
| Ulver Perdition City | 4.0 |
| I was digging this album even more than Themes From William Blake, but the tracks We Are Dead, Dead City and Catalept were a tad too much on experimental soundtrack mode. |
| Ulver Bergtatt - Et eeventyr i 5 capitler | 5.0 |
| Ulver Kveldssanger | 4.5 |
| Ulver Nattens Madrigal | 5.0 |
| Ulver Themes From William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell | 3.5 |
| You can miss the folk and the BM but this is one bold, poetic, devilish tripop piece. The hints of BM are still there. This also breathes NIN's nineties era with tons of other vibes. |
| Ulver Shadows of the Sun | 3.5 |
| Ulver Flowers of Evil | 3.0 |
| Definitely feels like the B side of Assassination. This time the songs lean even more into that (Depeche Modish) song formula and less into those electronic psy progressions you catch on Assassination that provides the desired depth. |
| Un Sentiment | 4.5 |
| The satisfying predictability of Doom, done with grace and style. Brilliant atmosphere, heavy but it can get you really chill. 2 first tracks are 5's, the other 2 like 4.5's |
| Un The Tomb of All Things | 3.0 |
| Good but a bit dragging regular doom record. Beautiful closer though. |
| Un and Coltsblood Coltsblood / Un | 4.0 |
2 tracks. 42' minutes of music. The brilliance Sludge Doom tempered with DM, giving the perfect
balance and pace. Be patient and, if its your case, get to know these two promising modern doom
bands: Coltsblood (novelty for me), which curious enough has the stronger track here, and Un
(check the album Sentiment asap). |

Good doom/sludge. In middle-ground between Pallbearer and Khemmis. Cool riffs, epic vocals and
also beauty. Not bad for "dragons music". Dragon's Beard and Serengeti Yeti stood out for me. |
| Usnea Portals Into Futility | 4.0 |
Although the sound does not feel as crushing/ big on a first glance, as some other acts of the
genre, mind, is a very very tight job, extremely dynamic in songwriting and vocals (melodic to the
screech to the lowest growl possible). All tracks end up being beasts of their own, special
advertise for the riffs on the 20 minutes closer- awesome way to end this album - Who would've
thought this album had space for a rocker, coherently? |

If ever was possible to merge all Chinese cliche sounds into one BDM outfit and remains cool it is
here fellas. 3.7. |
| Vennart In The Dead, Dead Wood | 4.0 |
| ok altrock should be dead by now...I don't know why I'm checking this but I think its because its pretty good actually...the singer gave me a lot of vibes from Cornell and Alex Turner...felt a very mature work and fave tracks are Super Sleuth and Mourning On The Range. |
| Venom Prison Samsara | 4.0 |
| Vessel Queen of Golden Dogs | 3.0 |
| Good experimental electronic work but with a classic tone, features and instrumentation. |
| Vetur Vist | 4.0 |
| Great vocals and variety. Riffz and Blast Beats for days! |
| Vi Som Alskade Varandra Sa Mycket Den sorgligaste musiken i varlden | 4.0 |
| think this one is a bit better at a composition level. Perhaps not with same emotional deliver, but def more my style in dynamic's variance. Vi gar and Ett hjartats |
| Vi Som Alskade Varandra Sa Mycket Det Onda. Det Goda. Det Vackra. Det Fula. | 4.0 |
| Vile Creature Glory, Glory! Apathy Took Helm! | 4.0 |
| I'm glad we all agree the last 2 tracks are bliss! |
| Vimur Triumphant Master of Fates | 3.5 |
| Vital Spirit Still as the Night, Cold as the Wind | 4.5 |
| Okay. Honnestly this grows af. The folk (western spaggheti like) elements are so subtelly introduced its actually part of the epic music and intended vibe. The album flows beautifully. The bm parts, riffs and guitar leads simply slap! |
| Vitriol (USA) To Bathe from the Throat of Cowardice | 4.0 |
| Put it as loud as you can and get ready for an ear rape...of the best kind...the most unpleasantly rgood listen from 2019. Dissonant DM. Impressive how, with this kind of mix, you can hear the bass rall the way through and its awesome. Solos, when they come in, they are facemelting...too much!? ryou may think that...but there's always something that keeps drawing you in...dare I call varied r(?). Anaal's vibe on vocals, but the levels of insanity/ wall of sound provide a more groovie and rhooked Portal sound. Recd Tracks - I Drown Nightly; The Rope Calls You Brother; Pain Will Define rTheir Death. |
| Vitriol (USA) Suffer & Become | 3.0 |
| Definitely busy. Fun record always on the verge of being too much. Rather the more disturbing vibe from the previous one. Prod on this a lot like Cattle decap, but messier... |
| Vltimas Something Wicked Marches In | 3.5 |
| Voices Frightened | 4.0 |
| Voices London | 4.5 |
| Amazing dark atmosphere and post aspects. Love for the intro "Music For The Recently Bereaved" - roller-coaster of a track m/m/ the ride begins and with the Actress and Vicarious Lover only gets better and better. Megan's ending drum solo! Imaginary - the acoustic guitar meddled in such an heavy song is wrecking good. Antidote - simple, beautiful and powerful. The Fuck Trance - The Fuck trance. Hourglass - a very good old school classic metal track. The House Black Light- just take the ride m/m/. Last Train Victoria - Did you spread your legs for him the way you do for me? |
| Voices From The Human Forest Create A Fugue Of Imaginary | 4.0 |
| Eyes become Black is one of their best songs imo m/ beautiful chorus, lead guitar and what a fuckin outro!!rEYESS BCOME BLAAAAACK! |
| Voices Breaking the Trauma Bond | 3.0 |
| Void Rot Descending Pillars | 3.0 |
| Amazing atmosphere...as to the rest is ultimately unimaginative.... |
| VoidCeremony Entropic Reflections Continuum: Dimensional... | 4.0 |
| Somehow I put this in the line of acts like Cryptic Shift. It felt very proggy despite the thick crust OSDM aesthetics. Sure its more slimey..I find Cryptic Shift a little classier but damn this slays too. |
| VoidCeremony Threads of Unknowing | 4.0 |
| Voivod The Outer Limits | 3.0 |
| this is good stuff but didn't made much for me, sometimes too "proggy grunge" and I'm not sure if it fits. Some parts of the music itself I found just ugly...that said, there is much talent and many cool parts and ideas all-round. fave here - Le Pont Noir. |
| Voivod The Wake | 4.0 |
| Getting to know this band..this is my first entry and it was really cool proggy thrash. Faves: Inconspiracy;Event Horizon and Sonic Mycelium |
| Voivod Killing Technology | 4.0 |
deaththrash with a punk vibe going proggy? so its awesome in that way. Bad production but
everything is audible. I didn't have a clew that this was being made when I was four X) m/ Faves:
Tornado; This is not an exercise; Cockroaches |
| Voivod Phobos | 4.0 |
| trying to figure why the AVG on this album...I mean WTF? lol the industrial and post vibes are awesome, its dark with some grunge on the mix (fitting perfectly this time). I really dig this one X) I'll probably piss someone off but This>Outer Limits (but way better) |
| VOLA Applause of a Distant Crowd | 3.5 |
| I got all the references (that yap, can be misleading, but they're there). There's also a lot of Ulver's last release vibe in some post aspects as to the general Depeche Mode inspiration. The djent is no issue for me when is cool like this. Easy listen and easy 3.5 for now but I think it will grow. What is preventing me from raising this up is I think this album deserves a vocalist with more personality, but this kind of vocals thrive on northern Europe's post bands (perfectly tuned, scholar, ethereal but also cold and unengaging) - Favorite tracks are T/t and Whaler. r |
| VOLA Inmazes | 3.0 |
| VRCVS VRCVS | 3.5 |
| Vukari Aevum | 3.5 |
| Wake Devouring Ruin | 4.0 |
| Super cool release, diving on the postHardcore Sludge, but with clear leanings to DM, BM and Doom. You can have it all this in one piece and keep it really coherent. Recd tracks - This Abyssal Pain; Torchbearer. |
| Wake Confluence | 3.5 |
| Wake Thought Form Descent | 3.5 |
| Wardruna Kvitravn | 3.5 |
| Wardruna Skald | 2.5 |
| Warforged I: Voice | 4.5 |
| Highly impressive AvantGarde Progressive Blackened TechDeath, with acoustic, piano and psychedelic and/or jazzy appointments making all this thing really shine throughout...It never falls into blandness, great sense of atmosphere, can even show an emotional side. Beneath the Forest Floor hits me every time. Then you have crazy jazzy track Old Friend or the best metal minute of the year (without a doubt) on The Color Of My Memory's first and exact minute. |
| Warforged Essence Of The Land | 4.5 |
| Warforged Two Demons | 3.5 |
| Warforged The Grove | Sundial | 3.0 |
| Warhaus Ha Ha Heartbreak | 4.0 |
| Waste of Space Orchestra Syntheosis | 4.5 |
| Doomy, RockSpacey, Avant-Garde, Dark, Psychedelic...I really love how "boring" this is. Experimental yet daunting release. Recd Tracks - The Shamanic Vision; Wake up the Possessor; Syntheosis. |
| Watain The Agony and Ecstasy of Watain | 4.0 |
| Wayfarer A Romance with Violence | 4.0 |
Amazing and solid release. A very post BM american western folk album. The closer Vaudeville
(f.e.) is a portent beauty. |
| We Never Learned To Live The Sleepwalk Transmissions | 3.5 |
| Wear Your Wounds WYW | 3.0 |
| Weedpecker III | 3.0 |
| Chill stoner progressive rock for me and my weed friends. Fave track - Embrace |
| Weeping Sores False Confession | 4.0 |
| ..awesome album!!!!!!! cutting violins on Transfiguration is something I never "saw" in music: "False Confessions is an uncommonly good heavy record. Few bands have been able to take death metal and doom to such deliriously weird places while still retaining that beautiful and affecting meditative experience. Weeping Sores, however, do it expertly." |
| Weezer Everything Will Be Alright in the End | 3.5 |
| Weezer Weezer | 5.0 |
| Weezer Pinkerton | 3.0 |
| Weezer The Black Album | 2.5 |
| Well...only not poor because they remain unpretentious and somewhat pop enjoyable... |
| Weezer OK Human | 3.5 |
| I don't care much about them since blue tbh, this one turned out pretty pleasant, its like a symphonic weezer, so weird but cool. I was ready to 3.5 it, but then my little one starts dancing every time I put it on. Edit - ssshhh she's sleeping now, 3.5 it is. |
| Wet Leg Wet Leg | 3.5 |
| Weyes Blood Titanic Rising | 4.5 |
| I liked this very much! Don't know any of her other work but found this with high compositional rskills...beautiful and tender vocals...somewhat Beatles meeting Portishead meeting MGMT. What a rbeautiful way to start the day. Recd Tracks - Andromeda; Wild Time; Picture me better |
| Weyes Blood And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow | 4.0 |
| Wharflurch Psychedelic Realms ov Hell | 4.0 |
| Wheel (FIN) Resident Human | 3.5 |
| Ei wait! Why are these guys ripping off Soen for ripping off Tool? EHEH Legit tracks nonetheless, specially Movement and T/track |
| While She Sleeps You Are We | 2.0 |
| White Stones Kuarahy | 4.0 |
| Smooth, brilliantly paced, uncompromising, heavy and evil. Will be back with more details. |
| White Stones Dancing Into Oblivion | 3.0 |
| This is still good but they lost the rock and psy touch imo. Its way more dm centered. While prod values are cool and remain revivalist is def way less hypnotic riffingwise, something I really valued on Kuarahy. This would benefit with some shinier prod but on other hand the id set on Kuarahy would be totally lost as well. |
| White Ward False Light | 4.0 |
| Whitechapel The Valley | 4.0 |
| Wasn t expecting to like this. Also pos for the review and the bravery of comparing with RoN, I see the resemblance. Guitars and vocals are so damn thick and gotta love when they take those heavy riffs slowly and kinda doomy. Great use of non cheesy melo vocals.r |
| Whores. Gold | 4.0 |
| Wiegedood There's Always Blood at the End of the Road | 4.0 |
| Wilderun Veil of Imagination | 3.0 |
| Too Disney Townsend for my taste, yet its cool those a la BWP riffs and leads. Also is very cool that there are people who fall in love for this. This kind of music is needed. The opener would make my day. |
| Wilderun Epigone | 3.5 |
| Windhand Eternal Return | 4.0 |
| Well I liked this one a lot...Sweet psy stoner doom. The grunge tone over the psy is very cool. The thick low guitars match really nice with the gal's smooth voice. Nothing surprising overall agreed, but its damn satisfying...rRecd tracks - Halycon; Grey Garden; Feather |
| Windhand Grief's Infernal Flower | 4.0 |
| This is great stonerdoom. Their last 2 releases start indeed really similar, just enter the flow with the simplest, slow and thick riffs layered with the most sweet, sour and silky vocals. Perfect stoned ride. Recd tracks - Crypt Key; Hyperium; Heperus |
| Windhand Windhand | 3.5 |
| Windhand Soma | 3.5 |
| Windir Likferd | 5.0 |
| Windir 1184 | 4.5 |
| Winterfylleth The Hallowing of Heirdom | 4.0 |
| Winterfylleth The Reckoning Dawn | 4.5 |
| This is as aggressive as a beautiful. Loving this more and more. Their strongest output fs. |
| Winterfylleth The Dark Hereafter | 3.5 |
| Winterfylleth The Divination Of Antiquity | 4.0 |
| Winterfylleth The Siege Of Mercia | 4.0 |
| Wishfield Wishfield | 4.0 |
Post rock, Shoegaze and Black Metal - Disclaimer - its not "traditional" Blackgaze, its really a
somewhat radiohead'ish sounding black metal. Super original sound. It's prob hipster stuff, but
I don't mind. The fret-less bass and guitar were a true joy to my hears. |
| Witch Vomit Buried Deep In A Bottomless Grave | 4.0 |
| The pace changes and grooves hard on this one m/ Imma 4 it. Solos and sections are resourceful af! |
| Witch Vomit Funeral Sanctum | 3.0 |
| Witchcraft Legend | 4.5 |
| Wobbler Dwellers of the Deep | 4.0 |
| Untouched 70s symphonic prog worship. Very well done, masterfully perfomed transitions. |
| Wobbler From Silence to Somewhere | 3.5 |
| Wode Burn in Many Mirrors | 3.5 |
| Wolves at the Gate Eclipse | 2.0 |
| Agreed this ain't mainstream. This is poor mainstream. |
| Wolves in the Throne Room Thrice Woven | 3.0 |
| Wolves in the Throne Room Primordial Arcana | 4.5 |
| Woodkid The Golden Age | 4.0 |
| Worm Foreverglade | 4.5 |
| Worm Bluenothing | 3.5 |
| Yeah if the riffs were a little higher in the mix this would be a beastr |
| Wormed Metaportal | 4.0 |
| Wormed Krighsu | 4.0 |
This was unexpectedly pleasant. And drumz rulez. Recd tracks - Pseudo-Horizon; Eukaryotic Hex
Swarm; Compuronium Pulsar Nanarc...; Zeroth-Energy Gravitation; Meolecular Winds |
| Wormed Exodromos | 3.5 |
| Wormrot Abuse | 3.5 |
| Wormrot Dirge | 3.5 |
| Wormrot Voices | 4.0 |
| Wormrot Hiss | 4.5 |
| This shit rules. Honestly shake things up, together with PD and FoH. It has some of the coolest punk hxc and post hxc cuts from comeback kid (turn it around and wake the dead era) to converge and I'm sure some other cool punk bands yall know and I dont lol. It also sticks to a sound and an own ID, cool atmosphere, narrative and what? Are these emotions I feel? In grindcore? Gtfo it almost goes blackgaze at times. Get a grip folks XDr |
| Worry Wisdom Through Shame | 3.5 |
| Pretty good smashing debut, with some moments of tenderness. DoomSludge with HXC reminiscences. |
| Wounds (USA-IL) Light Eater | 4.0 |
| Straight 4 to this inventive and awesome deathgrind&techdeath EP. Great variation of vocals for the genre. The bass is always there. Crazy drumming and tech riffing af. The way songs are structured and the groove avoids this to be over spastic. Recd Track - Metamorphosis (just enjoy while it transforms) |
| WRVTH No Rising Sun | 3.5 |
| Interesting outfit...you must check if you're looking for new sounds in metal. A tad unmemorable and too watered vocals lowered my rating a bit. Great stuff though. |
| Wytch Hazel IV: Sacrament | 3.5 |
| I feel forced to bump this album. All tracks are too damn infectious! If I keep listening it may be a 4. Extremely chorus driven for better or worse..amazing how you get all the hooks coming on 2md listen. |
| Xanthochroid Of Erthe and Axen: Act II | 4.5 |
| wow! this is not supposed to be for me...but actually it is! Amazing melody! Incredible songwriting...epic stuff but better than ne obliviscaris fe |
| Xanthochroid Of Erthe and Axen: Act I | 3.5 |
| Xenobiotic Mordrake | 3.5 |
| Definitely this started to grow after second spin. The album has its highlights, such as Inverted, Saphris, Grieving the Loss of Self and T/tracks. Overall the drumwork is damn great and the techdeath aspects slay. |
| Yashira Shrine | 3.5 |
| This is a great approach on Remission (Mastodon) riffing in a more post output. |
| Yashira Fail To Be | 4.5 |
| Yautja Songs of Descent | 3.5 |
| Great mix of sludge, grind and rock&roll...though a bit unmemorable, they sound even better live - check audiotree live sessions. Recd tracks - tar and blindness; Path to ground; a crawl |
| Yautja Songs of Lament | 4.5 |
| This is sounding way more badass than the lp release. The production feels way better and I prefer the vocals more on front like on this one. They re only 3 nerdy fellas and they re all amazing. Whata jam. Recd tracks - the all 23 minutes |
| Yautja The Lurch | 4.5 |
| the "Tethered - Clock Cleaner - Catastrophic - The Weight" combo really gets me going here. Thick and Harsh bros. Sludgecore af sound!r |
| Year of No Light Consolamentum | 3.5 |

| Yuri Gagarin The Outskirts of Reality | 3.5 |
| Great drums...I'm all in for the relentless opener and the floydishstoner closer. |
| Yussef Kamaal Black Focus | 3.5 |
| Good boiler room music. Great drum&base drummer. The bassist is awesome and its not even yussef neither Kamaal. |
| Yves Tumor Safe in the Hands of Love | 4.0 |
| Experimental stuff going hip/tripop, noise and latent punk feel. Personal stuff, weird charachter such as the music. There's 3 magical tracks on this - Noid; Licking An Orchid; Life Time. |
| Zao The Well-Intentioned Virus | 5.0 |
| Zao The Funeral of God | 4.0 |

As you press play on this keep in mind that you're in for a treat. Its really great how playful
and fun it goes, but the mood starts to turn in the middle (blame the sax as well) in a more
serious introspective way. The sax is indeed delicious and these vocals are just so crazy
versatile&varied that I'm still digesting them. Stoner Lemmy (or Matt Pike lol) going hardcore is
indeed something else, but that's just one tip of the iceberg for this fella called Isaac Ruder.
Great vibes from tDEP, HoF and ETID and I bet many others. This was a treat. They knocked it out
of the park. 4.5 on it and I think it will stick. |
