Oh Heavenly Father, thank you for blessing us with Outback

Wed, 25 Jul 2001 04:27:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - I first got the opportunity to sample Outback on my vacation to Cancun during Spring Break '00. I've heard so much about if before but there weren't any of their restaurants within the city's limits. A trip to go there for dinner one night was...

The Epitome of Racing Games

Wed, 25 Jul 2001 03:36:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - I was never too fond of car racing games, most of the ones they made for the older game systems had weak graphics and were just not very fun. The first car driving game I played on PS2 was "Ridge Racer" and that failed to impress me at all. Upon...

"A Comic Book Given Life"

Wed, 25 Jul 2001 03:05:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - When I first started seeing commercials for "Unbreakable" last fall; the only thing that really caught my Attention were the 2 main characters. It's been years since they're wonderful performance in "Die Hard 3", and I also noticed Samuel L. Jackson was...

"The Flames of the End"

Sat, 30 Jun 2001 20:39:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - From "Gardens of Grief", to "The Red in the Sky is Ours", to "With Fear I kiss the Burning Darkness", to "Terminal Spirit Disease", and finally "Slaughter of the Soul"; At The Gates invented and ultimately perfected the "Gothenburg" sound. With...

At the Gates born again??

Wed, 31 Jan 2001 03:13:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - No, The Haunted is not a reincarnation of At The Gates (not on this album anyway) but they're still a great band. Having 3 members from A.T.G.'s a great thing. The biggest difference is the vocal styles, no long the sweet snarl of Tomas (now of Lock...

The Alter Ego

Wed, 31 Jan 2001 02:51:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - When I first heard of Edge of Sanity is when I first discovered the musical mastermind Dan Swano. I was blown away by his song writing (while not overly technical; always does the trick), and variation in vocals. Disappointed that I discovered E.O.S...

"Curse Ye All Men"...

Fri, 6 Oct 2000 16:22:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - ...whose said Emperor has sold out!! Wow, I understand that most people who are metal-heads are blatantly ignorant and what not but for so many fans to call this a sell-out album is disgusting. Let me see, I've listened to this album countless...

Music for the criminally insane

Wed, 4 Oct 2000 20:24:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - Satyricon's one of the original Norwegian black metal bands out there. Since their split demo with Enslaved "The Forest is my Throne/Yggdrasill", the band has released quality album after album. "Dark Medieval Times", "The...

"The Legend of the Kanteletar"

Wed, 4 Oct 2000 17:36:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - How do you follow up the masterpiece "Tales From a Thousand Lakes"? The answer is simple, it's impossible. "Tales..." was the first metal record ever to combine with folk themes. It's an album that is revered as being easily...

Black Metal Bliss!!!

Fri, 29 Sep 2000 15:57:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - When I was first introduced to Emperor 5 years ago, I was still in my full death metal stage and upon hearing the "In the Nightside Eclipse" album; I was unimpressed. Five years later, with a broader ear for music I have finally...

Paradise in a bottle??

Thu, 7 Sep 2000 04:53:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - If you're reading this, you've probably tasted the wonderful nectar that is Malibu Rum :) But for those who haven't, you really should go out and do so. This one of the friendliest (in terms of taste and alcohol content) liquors around. With a...

Wow, this taste suprsingly awful!!

Thu, 7 Sep 2000 04:35:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - What we have before us (me) is a 1 liter bottle of Bacardi 151, unfortunately it's empty. But that statement is a double edged sword, although I really believe in getting smashed while drinking spirit, beer, wine, etc..., I don't exactly jump at...

A full Viking assault

Fri, 1 Sep 2000 19:34:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - I picked up this album 2 summers ago, and since then I've ruined 2 copies of it (due to constant listens). This is melodic Swedish death metal at its best (look at my review of Amon Amarth's entire discography), the Pagan gods would be pleased...

Blood coated and unimpressive

Tue, 15 Aug 2000 18:35:41 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - When I'd first bought this album, I held Cradle of Filth in high regards. I mean after hearing the "Dusk and her Embrace", and "Vempire" albums; I had high expectations for "Cruelty and the Beast". At first listen I...

Soundtrack to a priest hunt

Tue, 15 Aug 2000 18:05:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - Now what we have here is one of the most prolific black metal albums ever recorded (those of you familiar with Dark Funeral would most likely agree). Dark Funeral hails from Sweden, and like fellow country-men Marduk play ultra-fast and violent...

Special Effects and Kevin Bacon!!

Mon, 14 Aug 2000 02:21:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - Unfortunately, Kevin Bacon and special effects were the only high-lights from "Hollow Man". The man behind "Tremors" and "Stir of Echoes" wasn't enough to make this movie anything special. As a huge Kevin Bacon...

Blood, Sorrow and Blasphemy

Fri, 28 Jul 2000 20:30:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - Hailing from Romania (possibly Transylvania), Agathodaimon are one of the younger bands to emerge in the black metal scene. Though musically, I'd say their stuff sounds more like gothic-laced death metal; many consider them black metal. Their...

Hateful, and violent...just another day in the office

Wed, 26 Jul 2000 02:54:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - I remember first getting this album and not listening to it much. But after I few listens, I can finally say it's a good album and Immolation's best. I first got into these guys with their previous album "Here in After" (mainly because...

Something so evil never sounded so good

Fri, 21 Jul 2000 18:48:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - I'm listening to this album as I write this review and man...it's one of the best live albums I've ever heard. Sound quality wise, "Hypocrisy Destroys Wacken" is the absolute best. I don't know how Peter Tagtgren does it but the man's a...

10 years of drugs, sex and rock ' roll

Thu, 20 Jul 2000 09:57:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - At the time when Motley Crue's "Decade of Decadence" was released, the band had put out 5 highly proclaimed albums. Of those 5 albums, there were plenty of chart toppers among them, namely; "Live Wire", "Shout at the...

666...The Number of the Beast

Fri, 30 Jun 2000 02:46:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - Damn, what a good year 1982 was; we were blessed with Venom's "Black Metal", Motley Crue's "Too Fast For Love", and Iron Maiden's "The Number of the Beast". I don't think any of the three is better than the rest but...

Mix black and glam...and you got early Crue

Fri, 30 Jun 2000 02:15:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - Being released the same year as Venom's legendary "Black Metal", Motley Crue's "Too Fast for Love" was paired up with Venom's release as 2 of the first "satanic" albums. Looking at what Vince and the boys are doing...

Lucifer's first seed

Fri, 30 Jun 2000 01:59:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - When I first started getting in black/death metal 4 years ago, I listened to more modern bands (Emperor, Immortal, Rotting Christ, etc...).

As I picked up more blasphemous CDs, I noticed a lot of bands paid homage to Venom. So then offcourse,...

A groundbreaking masterpiece

Fri, 16 Jun 2000 04:04:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - Yeah, that title explains it all. But honestly, very few who've heard the album will even contest the statement.

Dan Swano, come on...the name is infamous, we all know him from Edge of Sanity even if he is no longer with the band. If you've...

Constructed Blasphemy

Fri, 16 Jun 2000 03:30:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hypocrisy5 - Hailing from Florida (where else does most death metal come from), Monstrosity has always proven to be one of the more talented veterans (along with Death, Morbid Angel and the once might Cynic). From the release of their debut Imperial Doom, these...
