Glorification of the Black God

Thu, 6 Dec 2001 10:02:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thewickedone - This MCD from Marduk is really a nice piece of work. Containing one of the (what I believe is) more humorous songs, "6 With Satan". Marduk have always been a favourite of mine, and I still think they belong to the elite of black metal musicians.

Slaughtering all that is sane...

Thu, 6 Dec 2001 09:44:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thewickedone - Mayhem is a band that has been involved in some very controversial happenings during their musical career. And it is sad that so many listen to the band just to be able to say "Hey, I listen to Mayhem" just because of all the stories about the band...

Daemon Breed

Tue, 4 Dec 2001 06:36:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thewickedone - Well well well. I didn't have to listen to this CD for a long time in the record store before I bought it. It is definitly one of the more brutal death metal releases lately. The Forsaken shows up a marvellous skill in writing and composing brutal,...

Sword of the kings...

Fri, 26 Oct 2001 12:59:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thewickedone - Grave Digger... great band with solid, heavy metal and raw vocals by Chris "Uncle Reaper" Boltenthal. Now, Grave Digger have something that makes them a great band: atmosphere. They make theme albums, and they're really good at it. They really put sprit...

Audiogalaxy File Agent: This beats Napster in all categories

Thu, 25 Oct 2001 10:36:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thewickedone - The File Sharing system Napster was a favourite of mine for a year or so, and then the big lawsuit came from both bands and record companies. This made me look elsewhere to get my precious need of music satisfied. After trying out a few file sharing...

The Wicked One is coming this way

Wed, 24 Oct 2001 13:11:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thewickedone - I've always been a great fan of Iced Earth, and I consider Something Wicked This Way Comes to be the reason I started to enjoy this band so much. I've had Stormrider in my possession for a while, when a friend of mine lended me his newly bought Something...

Satan would thrive in fear...

Wed, 24 Oct 2001 12:15:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thewickedone - So here it is. The most anticipated expansion pack to Diablo 2. Lord of Destruction is a very awaited expansion, and I must say that Diablo 2 was a really great experience, and so, I really yearned for this pack to be released. The pack features a whole...

The Return of an Emperor

Wed, 24 Oct 2001 09:49:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thewickedone - Emperor is by far the best black metal band to ever come out of the mountanious landscapes of Norway. The band has been in a lot of turmoil - Samoth going to jail for burning a church and Faust being imprisoned for stabbing a man - but they have always...

Food For My Ears

Wed, 24 Oct 2001 06:49:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thewickedone - In Flames made a great release with The Jesters Race, and now they are back! Whoracle is even heavier than the last album, and it contains even more catchy melodies. The instrumental track Dialogue With the Stars contains a melody that sticks in your...

Come on... grow up and dump the knight image

Tue, 23 Oct 2001 08:58:14 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author thewickedone - Okay, HammerFall have never been any favourites of mine, and they never will be. There are many reasons for this. One of them is the fact that HammerFall insits on keeping the same lyrical them as they did on their previous two records. I mean, you can...

Spiritual Black Dimensions indeed

Tue, 23 Oct 2001 08:44:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thewickedone - Okay, Dimmu Borgir have for a long time been rated as Kings of black metal. And I truly cannot understand why? There are so many other black metal bands that desereve credit for what they are doing. Sure, Dimmu Borgir is a great band, but still not...

Could have been better

Mon, 22 Oct 2001 12:08:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author thewickedone - I had really waited and longed for this game to get to the shelves of the computer stores here. And when it got here, I bought the game without playing a demo before. I was not unhappy with the game, but I definitly think it could have been better...

Back to Darkness as I hoped...

Mon, 22 Oct 2001 11:41:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thewickedone - Moonspell is easily my favourite Dark/Gothic metal band. They make such great and melancholic songs that Type O Negative ar far away from the throne. Moonspell did however turn into some electronic freakshow when Butterfly FX was recorded. I am happy to...

Enter Haven

Sun, 21 Oct 2001 11:51:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thewickedone - Dark Tranquility is a really classical name when you're talking death metal and Gothenburg. The difference between Dark Tranquility and In Flames is that DT are not afraid of being just a bit more agressive when it comes to the music. And lately, they...

Dimmu Filth

Sat, 20 Oct 2001 16:35:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thewickedone - Misteltein are quite new to the black metal scene, but the music they've chosen to play is - as it always seems to be nowadays with nordic bands - atmospheric black metal. Now, I am a fan of that genre, but I wouldn't call it black metal. I would rather...

The Presence is Ominous

Sat, 20 Oct 2001 13:01:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thewickedone - Borknagar never did impress me with their album "The Archaic Curse" since I found it too mediocre to stand out in the great flood of atmospheric black/death metal that was streaming out from Sweden/Norway during those days. But when I first started to...

Space Monkeys on crusade

Thu, 18 Oct 2001 10:01:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thewickedone - Well... I have always been a big fan of black metal, and I really have enjoyed The Kovenants past productions (In Times Before the Light & Nexus Polaris). But when I learned that there were only three members left in the group (Nagash, now known as Lex...

Welcome to the World Ov Worms

Fri, 3 Aug 2001 14:56:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thewickedone - As i picked up this CD at the record store, I thought of Samoths old project, Zyklon-B, but according to a magazine (Unrestrained) Zyklon has nothing to do with the old Zyklon-B. As i inserted the CD into the player and the first track started playing, I...

The Past really is alive

Sun, 29 Jul 2001 14:22:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thewickedone - These old recordings of the band before they released their first CD on a record company is really amazing to hear... I don't know how old the members were on this, but some of the songs were written 10 years ago, and I'm impressed. You can really hear...
