Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name2024 Persefone Lingua Ignota: Part I4.5Excellent EP, such a amazing progression of sound for Persefone and makes you crave for a part 2! Feels like the best of all previous albums here while still showing progression towards a more focused and mature sound from when they started. New singer may feel a little awkward for old school fans of Persefone but he grows on you and is a fantastic fit! I am eagerly awaiting part 2 and already am putting this EP on repeat! 2023 Dethklok Metalocalypse Army of the Doomstar OST4.0Not going to lie for a Movie Soundtrack I LOVED it. I was very surprised it took a more epic and "movie" sounding approach but the Intrumetal of the Doctor Rockzo Cocaine song is some of the best guitar work Brendon Smalls has ever done! and the 2nd to last song is such a epic ending its worth those 2 alone. Album is not as heavy as a Dethklok album but its very epic and a amazing movie album! Dethklok Dethalbum IV4.5This may be the best album Dethklok has created! Anyone giving this lower then a 3.5 is NUTS this is the best they have ever sounded, SOS and DEADFACE are AMAZING and some of the best songs the band has made! The songs hit EVEN HARDER in the feels if you watch the amazing 10/10 movie too! Horse of Fire is also worth mentioning, this is up there with Dethalbum II its so good! Nothing but bangers! Anima Tempo Chaos Paradox4.5Fantastic album, this little band from Mexico mixes progressive metal with djent to give themselves a original sound! Very underrated band, deserve much more recognition, its a mix between that band (before they went scumbag) Corelia and Periphery but has lots of melodic sounds and complex instrumentals with keyboards that also has hints of Born of Osiris and Veil of Maya influence. However, the band is able to stand out and not just be another Djent band, these guys are going places, fantastic album and everything I wanted. Cattle Decapitation Terrasite4.5Not really a Deathgrind fan but this is such a good album! I love how the melodic nature makes this more then just a heavy album. This band is fantastic and this album SLAPSNe Obliviscaris Exul5.0Best thing since Portal I, Misericorde I and II are just pure masterpieces. 2022 Disillusion Ayam5.0IMO this is a worthy follow up to Back to Times of Splendor. This album flows better then Splendor but it needs to be reminded this is a completely different beast then Splendor. A fantastic album all the way through minus the last song being very meh. If it wasn't for the last song this would be a perfect. This is a huge contender for my AOTY. Even after multiple listens I keep coming back and getting songs stuck in my head. Hopefully this brings the band more recognition since they are already heavily underrated. rEdit: After COUNTLESS listens I am giving this a 5, all the songs just click and it is a damn near perfect album in pacing and gives the listeners everything they need. Fallujah Empyrean4.5Amazing return to form for a band that has really found their sound again. Into the Eventide has such amazing guitar work! Fantastic album takes the best of all their previous albums and mashes it into 1 awesome album. The last song Artifacts is just fantastic. Best album they put out in years.Cyborg Octopus Between the Light and Air4.0Great album! I like it better then their previous album, band is heavily underrated! Spiritbox Rotoscope2.0LOVED Eternal Blue but this sucked hard. Almost fell asleep, hope this was just experimenting and not a new direction....Allegaeon Damnum4.5Persefone Metanoia4.5Giving it a 4 for now but needs some more time to digest this monster! So far its a mix of all rtheir albums when it comes to sound and its great, gets a little rocky on some parts but it feels rvery mature as well. The instrumentals are fantastic as always just as you would expect from rPersefone. Need some more time to go over this but for now its another fantastic release from rPersefone. The 11 minute instrumental Consciousness pt 3 is also great. Last thing I will say I radmire their ability to just slow down in the middle of the album, it gives off some Core vibes rwhile sticking with that mature sound of Aathma. Edit: Bumping this up to a 4.5 it is a fantastic album that mixes amazing instrumentals with amazing atmosphere, the album is meant to be listened to from start to finish and it is a journey to say the least. Another amazing release from Persefone. 2021 Obscura A Valediction4.5Burial in the Sky The Consumed Self4.02020 Persefone Truth Inside the Shades (15th Anniversary)4.52019 Insomnium Heart Like a Grave4.0DragonForce Extreme Power Metal4.0Metal elitists can suck nuts! 1st Dragonforce album I am pumped for, love the direction of sound and cheesy 80s vibe. Will not be a perfect album but will be a fun one! The Celine Dion cover is amazing. Borknagar True North4.5Tool Fear Inoculum4.5After the Burial Evergreen4.0Periphery Periphery IV: Hail Stan4.0Astronoid Astronoid3.5Born of Osiris The Simulation3.5Unironically this is the best album to come out since The Discovery (but not better). This has a rgreat mix of their classic sound from their first album mixed with elements of The Discovery and rtheir other albums. The 2nd song, Disconnectome, is better then the entire last 2 albums. While She Sleeps So What?2.0This is like how All That Remains went from making The Fall of Ideals to shitty radio rock, its THAT BAD! Plus their lyrics are so cheesy and laughable at times. Gonna be a yikes for me dawg2018 Gunship Dark All Day4.0Such a amazing album, the synth wave is perfected by this band. My only real complaint is the length is so long that it kind of makes the album drag since not ALL the songs are amazing. Do not get me wrong, this is a fantastic album but some of the experimentation can be hit or miss, but I still find my self coming back and putting MANY songs on repeat, they are THAT good. Revocation The Outer Ones4.0Omnium Gatherum The Burning Cold4.0Between the Buried and Me Automata II4.0Obscura Diluvium4.5A technical masterpiece and probably my favorite Obscura album. Hard to name a favorite song when they all kick so much ass. "Mortification of the Vulgar Sun" and "An Epilogue to Infinity" is high up there though Edit: After wrestling with myself on the final review I went from a 4.5 to a 4 and now back to a 4.5. After repeated listens this is without a doubt my favorite Obscura album, I do not understand why some of people were underwhelmed or bored, the technicality is simply amazing. This is a fantastic album and one of my favorites of 2018.Amorphis Queen of Time4.5Nekrogoblikon Welcome to Bonkers4.0Rivers of Nihil Where Owls Know My Name4.5Probably my favorite album of 2018, the Sax is spicy and fits the mood of the album and compliments the songs. The progressiveness of the song does not feel out of place and the guitar solos are awesome while the drums are on another level. One of the best metal albums I have heard in a long time. Judas Priest Firepower4.0This is close to Painkiller in quality, awesome album! 2017 Ne Obliviscaris Urn4.53rd masterpiece from a extremely underrated band. Trivium The Sin and the Sentence4.0The Black Dahlia Murder Nightbringers4.5Arch Enemy Will to Power3.5Powerflo Powerflo4.0First Metal/Rap band I have ever been able to listen to all the way through without cringing. Very impressed with how this came out.SikTh The Future In Whose Eyes?3.5Good album but they are playing it WAY too safe. Vocals are terrific but they need to embrace more of their old sound. Not a terrible album but it is disappointing when compared to their older stuff. While She Sleeps You Are We4.0Persefone Aathma4.52016 Metallica Hardwired...To Self-Destruct3.5Animals As Leaders The Madness of Many4.5Testament Brotherhood of the Snake4.0Candiria While They Were Sleeping4.5The Innovators of sound are back with a combination of most of all their album sounds packed into a new release! While those looking for the crazy vocals from 300 Percent, Beyond Reasonable Doubt, and more of their older sounds from their old albums may be disappointed in the vocals but Candiria still manages to try something new while holding onto their original groovy signature style. This album is more similar to their album What Doesn't Kill You... with a fusion of different elements they incorporated in their older albums before their accident. While I miss the old Candiria sound, this newer album has everything from post hardcore, Jazz, Experimental, punk, and more! It sounds like a more mature Candiria and it is a joy to listen to! Candiria still has it even if they are not as heavy as their older albums in the 90s they still get pretty heavy and this album shows these guys still have amazing music to bring us! I recommend the album for anyone who loves progressive bands and highly recommend to check this album out! Insomnium Winter's Gate4.0Allegaeon Proponent for Sentience4.5Sabaton The Last Stand3.5Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein Stranger Things, Volume One4.0Revocation Great Is Our Sin4.5Another AMAZING release from Revocation that continues to expand on their already very recognizable sound, while building off of it to move forward. Simply a fantastic album that is so goddamn fun! Astronoid Air4.0Fallujah Dreamless4.0Have you all not heard the 2 songs they released? It sounds like they are bouncing off the sound rthey had in "The Flesh Prevails" but with more atmosphere like "Nomadic" I am predicting this is rgoing to be a 4 at least, so far I am in love with the 2 songs they released. The Zenith Passage Solipsist4.0BABYMETAL Metal Resistance4.0After the Burial Dig Deep4.0Wow this is amazing! They completely expanded upon the fun elements of "Wolves Within" and raised rtheir groove to 11! This album is fantastic and very fun from start to finish. Very impressive and rshows this band is not slowing down anytime soon! They continue to improve with each album and rthis is one of the best ones they have put out! Textures Phenotype3.5Great album! Takes the best of Duelism and the older albums and really mixes it well! It can get a little convoluted sometimes but it is a great album! Toothgrinder Nocturnal Masquerade4.0Album is great and very diverse! Has lots of progressive and hardcore elements and is catchy as hell! Toothgrinder proves that they can expand upon their previous work while still keeping their original sound. This is not a perfect album but it is very good and worth a listen! Megadeth Dystopia4.0Anima Tempo Caged In Memories4.0Amazing album, Progressive metal at its finest! Their bounce between cleans and heavy vocals is exceptional and the guitar work is fantastic! Very underrated band with a bright future! David Bowie Blackstar4.52015 SikTh Opacities4.5Intronaut The Direction of Last Things4.5This is easily the BEST album they have put out. Amazing, how they perfected their vocals while still holding their original sound. The instruments are amazing and it feels more consistent compared to some songs on Habitual Levitations (loved the album, but some songs just dragged).rIt feels like an amazing mix of all previous albums while still being very original. rThis might even be a 5 for me but I need a few more listens. Easily this is a 4 or higher. Overall this is a AMAZING album!Light the Torch They Bleed Red (as Devil You Know)3.5Amorphis Under the Red Cloud4.0Gunship Gunship4.5Between the Buried and Me Coma Ecliptic4.5While still holding their core sound, BTBAM experiment with making a rock album and it is FANTASTIC! This is a much softer side but do not be fooled, we still get a ton of growls from the great Tommy and is amazingly diverse singing. This is honestly the best BTBAM album I have heard. The instruments sound great as always and there is still a ton of BTBAM signature wankery on the instruments (dunno why people are saying there is not). BTBAM tried something new and it is awesome, the songs all work and everything flows so well. This is a giant love letter to the prog bands in the 70s while still maintaining the BTBAM core sound. Just don't expect this album to be the heaviest thing. Lots of Dream Theater meets Mars Volta meets Yes meets Rush! Great album! Just remember, this is NOT like their previous work. BTBAM said they wanted to try something different and it worked very well! This is a superb album and probably one of, if not the best, Prog album to come out this year! Iwrestledabearonce Hail Mary4.0Veil of Maya Matriarch4.0Abiotic Casuistry3.5The Expendables Sand In The Sky4.02014 Mors Principium Est Dawn of the 5th Era4.0Ne Obliviscaris Citadel4.5Primus Primus and The Chocolate Factory With The Fungi Ensemble3.5Rings of Saturn Lugal Ki En4.0Fantastic album and a huge step in the right direction after the praise they gained from Dingir. The album can be a huge clusterfuck but the sweeps and solos are all there and Ian is in top notch with his vocals! The album is just plain fun even if it can be tiresome to listen to as well as chaotic at times, but it still a well nice follow up to Dingir, possibly exceeding it. I gotta give it 9 out of 10 anal probes. Scar Symmetry The Singularity - Phase I: Neohumanity4.0Vestascension Breaching the Sound4.0Toothgrinder Schizophrenic Jubilee4.0Take some BTBAM, Revocation, DEP, Periphery and MUCH MORE! Much like BTBAM these guys are constantly changing things up and in the best way! They have their own sound and each song has a different feel. I do wish the album was longer but it is still an album worth checking out! The Contortionist Language4.5Language rivals The Contortionist's old album Exoplanet and easily blows Insintric out of the water, while still having you wanting to come back for more. Simply a spectacular treat for your ears and the production value is top notch! The Cynic influences is strong and the album treads the line between between being melodic, beautiful, and at times, very brutal. I may even change this to a 5 since it is really starting to become one of my favorite albums of the year. Also if you want Exoplanet, GO LISTEN TO EXOPLANET! This album is amazing on its own. Ebb and Flow is probably one of the best songs these guys have done in awhile! Savlonic Red3.5Fallujah The Flesh Prevails5.0First time I have ever wanted to give a album a perfect score! This album is amazing and exceeded my expectations. The solos gave me goosebumps and made my hairs stand up, while the ambiance leaves a calm and relaxing feeling that haves me coming back for more. Do not listen to the hipsters, it is not "overproduced" and sounds great. THIS ALBUM IS A GAME CHANGER! CHECK IT OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!Twilight Force Tales of Ancient Prophecies4.0Shylmagoghnar Emergence4.0Fantastic album! Not a fan of black metal usually but combination of Progressive and Melodic Death Metal is just out of this world catchy! Great riffs and very well made album! BABYMETAL BABYMETAL3.52013 After the Burial Wolves Within4.0Dethklok The Doomstar Requiem4.0If you are watching the special with animation this is a solid 4.5 if not higher. As a stand alone album it is still incredible and very funny while still holding the brutal style of Dethklok. Favorite non-metal song on the album has to be "I Believe" and "How can I be a Hero?"rIts a great listen and honestly my favorite dethklok album. Carcass Surgical Steel4.0Born of Osiris Tomorrow We Die Alive3.0The 2 singles they released are indeed very generic and makes me question why they chose to rrelease those 2 songs to promote the album but do not be fooled, this is a good album. While rit is no where near the level of The Discovery, it is still a great album on it's own with rsome really good songs. The song "Illusionist" is an example of a good song on the album rthat also has a Within The Ruins "feel" to it. If they had another guitarist to include more rsolos I would of given this a 4.Butcher Babies Goliath3.0It isn't that bad but it could be better. "I Smell A Massacre" is a great song and example of what they are capable of but some of the other songs fall flat.Extol Extol4.5Persefone Spiritual Migration4.52012 Lich King Born of the Bomb4.0The Faceless Autotheism4.0The Contortionist Intrinsic3.5Rush Clockwork Angels4.5Ne Obliviscaris Portal of I5.0Brendon Small Galaktikon4.02011 Nekrogoblikon Stench4.5The Chain Gang Of 1974 Wayward Fire4.0A great album that has a 80s feel to it while still maintaining a modern sound.2010 The Contortionist Exoplanet4.5The Expendables Prove It4.02009 After the Burial Rareform (Re-release)4.5The Chasm Farseeing the Paranormal Abysm4.0Persefone Shin-Ken4.02008 The Faceless Planetary Duality4.5After the Burial Rareform4.5Scar Symmetry Holographic Universe4.02007 The Expendables The Expendables4.52006 Persefone Core5.0The Expendables Gettin' Filthy4.02004 The Chasm The Spell of Retribution4.0Disillusion Back to Times of Splendor5.0A Masterpiece of a Progressive Death Metal album, a damn near perfect album, Back to the Times of Splendor however is a perfect song. 2003 Coheed and Cambria In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 34.52002 The Expendables Open Container4.02000 Garden of Shadows Oracle Moon4.01999 Candiria Process of Self-Development4.0These guys were WAYYYYYY ahead of their time! This makes BTBAM look tame! Amazing album that is very different but very good! 1995 Carcass Swansong4.5Death Symbolic5.01991 Pestilence Testimony of the Ancients4.01989 Pestilence Consuming Impulse4.5D.R.I.
