Be'lakor - Stone's Reach
|
| Prog-melo-atmospheric |
|
|
Being a crony of mine, art always haunts me whether it’s a sculpture or imagination and this time Perseus with the head of Medusa caused my cursor to click on Be'lakor's sophomore effort Stone's Reach. It was surely a good reflection of band's taste. At the first instance, the opening briefed me with something really inspired from Opeth followed by the lifting with heavy riff and the low end growls that gave me a similar vibe of Amon Amarth and Orphaned Land. Eventually, as the opening track proceeded further, I myself generated stimuli of having a progressive/melodic death/doom experience coming ahead. Although, it’s really easy to translate the tone with many similar acts like Dark Tranquillity, Opeth, Amon Amarth and last but not the least Insomnium, but I think, this is some sort of an amalgam of vast influences. I witnessed mixed elements of folk as well as atmospheric along with the overshadowed progressive melo-death.
When there are lot of similar acts experimenting with the same genre, it is really hard to put something idiosyncratic but impressively, Be'lakor didn't let me put this down and proved to be a solid release. The songs have complex structures and time signatures as well as a balanced chord and lead-esque rhythms along with main leads. The tempo is not easily predictable nor the arrangement/sequence of riffs and have variations, From Scythe to Spectre can be taken as an example, Outlive the Hand has a unique starting that eventually changes to a different variation and so on. Those who are merely addicted to melo-death/progressive may have some Deja-vu experience as it sometimes feels that it might have the same kind of riffs or chord progression coming out frequently. The acoustics and keyboard played a pivotal role in creating the mood of the songs. Lyrically, it has surely a huge Pagan & Greek Mythology texture. Some songs have a deep cynicism’s influence that I observed and I think it is some sort of esoteric or abstruse to understand them to their actual intended meaning. The production/mixing of the album is credible, as of my previous experience, with the low-end growls, sometimes it feels like to have other instruments dominating more over the vocals but here, it is not that same case. Overall, this album may have some flaws but is inevitably a thumbs up from my side.

Darkspace - Dark Space II
|
| Are you serious |
|

This has to be one of the worst examples of music I've heard. The chord progressions are rare and never do anything interesting, alot of minor 1 to minor 7 which is an extremely rookie way to write, guitar is so boring that nickleback has them beat in terms of technicality, vocals are indecipherable. Drums sounds like someone having a seizure in a room full of cardboard boxes. This is why I hate black metal is bands like this right here. can only hope they get lost in the woods when shooting their next album cover.

Extreme Noise Terror - Damage 381
|
| ENT Damage 381 is World fastest, intense, and agressive album!! |
|
|
This Album's Dean, Phil, and Barney's growl, scream,and
shouting is most Heaviest, loudest, intense, and aggressive
tripple vocal style.
and Ali's guitar is fastest, catchy, and cool guitar phrase.
and Was's drums is perfect.
and Lee Barrett just cannot ignored.
Candlelight Records established by Lee Barrett.
The truth is, ENT is probably crust core or Punk band.
But ENT is from Punk to Death/Grind it evolved further,
ENT made from an independent standpoint,
Their extremist, and intense style.
That's what I like about Extreme Noise Terror.

Insomnium - Across The Dark

| The Best Atmospheric Music |
|
|
These rising kings of melodic death metal did a great job on this album. Despite having 8 tracks only , most tracks expand past 5 minutes making every song memorable.

This is the album that got me into death metal. Amazing technical guitar playing, especially on To Breathe In A Casket and Intestinal Incubation. This one belongs in any death metal fan's collection.

Dusk Chapel - Ascension
|
| Different influences |
|
|
This is peculiar mixture of old school influences in vein of Death/Morbid Angel and inclusions of progressive metal with melodic guitar solos.

Cannibal Corpse - Bleeding, The
|
| Wonderful Album! |
|
|
The Bleeding (and maybe Tomb Of The Mutilated) is one of the most rappresentative albums of (Brutal) Death Metal music! It Has a fantastic sound, one of my favourites sounds! (Sorry for my english, I'm a 14 years old guy)

A blackmetal band from south germany i discovered shortly via youtube. Their first album since thgeir creation in 2006, a very brutal and fast riffing, from my point of view something between older "marduk" and "infernal war" but with more very great melodies and details, technical on a ,in blackmetal not often seen, high level, a very nice album in my opinion.
There are also 2 kinds of vocals, typical blackmetal screams mixed with a few clean parts and double screams, very intensive. Lyrics are in english also german also, very good to understnad, also without reading the booklet the same time.
The generally quality of the recording is perfect for blackmetal. Its no low rehearsal stuff and also not ultra mastered hi-fi prostudio stuff.
Raw and dirty enough to feel the power of satan, and good enough to hear its done in a studio.
One of my best albums in 2014

Skepticism - Ordeal
|
| It's a bit of an Ordeal...for some |
|
|
Skepticism's motto might well be If It Ain't Broke Don't Fix It. Their sound hasn't changed much in the last 20 years. Keyboard sounding like church organs, crushing riffs and stentorian vocals, all performed at the speed of continental drift. There's nothing here that would sound out of place on Stormcrowfleet.
And that's okay because most fans will accept anything except change, as bands like Ahab have discovered when they try to change their style.
