My new favorite black metal album. Holy shit, this has the best writing in the entire genre, I swear. The guitars and chord progressions create such an ethereal atmosphere. It feels almost orchestral and it's beautiful. And this has some of the best drumming I've heard in a while. Excellent performances all around. It's an insanely brutal record but the clean sections add such a beautiful layer to an already stunning record. This album has it all. It's exceptional.
Yeah, Tyler's earlier stuff was... interesting. Very experimental but not exactly in the best ways. Some parts are pretty good but the whole album is a little puzzling. Not terrible but nothing I'm returning to.
It's absurdly fast and technical, too much so sometimes. But it is still pretty fun to listen to. The solos are ridiculous but I still enjoy them, even if they are way over-the-top. The vocals are as cheesy as they get in power metal as well. This is a fun record but doesn't have the writing to make it one worth revisiting too often.
He's a decent rapper but the beats aren't super great. Maybe just not my thing.
Easily the most beautiful metal album this year. This is doom metal done right. The heavy parts are brutal as hell and the growls hit hard. But the female vocalist has such an angelic voice it's incredible. The two work so well together. And the melody writing is spot on. This is an album that will be on rotation for months to come. It gives and keeps on giving. Simply an exceptional experience.
Bruh his vocals are complete ass as always. Zero effort put in to this at all. Awful.
