Das größte nichtssagende Album einer der bekannstesten deutschen Punk Gruppen. Die Messages quillen über vor Belanglosigkeit, auch wenn die Grundidee auch oftmals richtig und gut ist.
Musikalisch ist hier kaum etwas zu retten. Ja es ist Punk, und ja er klingt nicht schlecht. Aber den gleichen Song 13/16 Mal zu machen wird halt recht schnell langweilig.
Falls ihr das Album mögt, ich freue mich für euch. Ich werds einfach wieder vergessen!

Well well, its time for my next discography deepdive. This time, its time for Trivium.
So, this is their debut record, "Ember To Inferno".
And its... rough.
It features the young Matt Heafy' s Screams, which sound like they hurt him. It also suffers from a really subpar production, which feels dated, even for its time. But, one thing ill have to give to it, is how well the guitars sound when they harmonize. Good stuff.
Ths record suffers from a huge identify crisis. It switches ... read more

Wow, what a discovery. 2026 really seems to be the year where i start to get post metal and its surroundings.
This record starts incredibly strong (some might say a bit to strong actually) with the 2-Track Song "Immersion I & II".
These two tracks hit like a truck, soothe you in with an incredible melody and wont let go within their wonderful riffs. The record, doesnt live up to what those two tracks promise, but its not far away form that either. Tracks like the Title Track or ... read more

I wanted to like this record. I wanted to experience why people love this... but i cant get into it.
Its fine. Like yes there are some cool moments here, but it feels like its padded with alot of nothing.
The producition is muddy, the vocals sound bare bones and i dont feel the emotions im supposed to feel. Sorry metalcore twt, this is not my record to enjoy.

This record is a long winding road of ups and downs....
In theory, its well made atmospheric Black Metal. In its execution, the production reaches from great to utterly terrible, the songs range from engaging to incredibly dull and boring. Also a 21 Minute closer, could have been a really cool idea, but firstly, why is it instrumental... secondly, its just dull. You could literally take a quarter of that song and it couldve been enough.
Overall, its still above average for a Black Metal record. ... read more

Self Deception are back with a new record... and its very cringey.
Id say the album cover fits the album. And not in a good way.
On here, we have the most cookie cutter alt metal ive heard in a while, while having some of the worst lyrics ive witnessed in a bit.
I must admit, the record doe have some fun moments on it (e.g. Wake Up), but these are rare.
The sound feels like somewhere between the worst of Three Days Grace and the weird side of modern Asking Alexandria.
Really not much here. And ... read more

The Black Metal legends Dimmu Borgir return to the scene with another record.
Its the first time, that im in the scene of Black Metal when Dimmu release a record, so i thought id give it a shot.
Sadly, it didnt do much for me. I can appreciate how its crafted and that there is genuine good musicianship is on display here. But it didnt stick, it didnt connect, and it didnt gave me anything i couldnt have found in other records. So it lands somewhere in the middle for me.

This is an interesting one. I do enjoy the basics here. The production fits, the vocals are good, riffs a good and so on. But the full package just is to dark. I like my black metal with atmosphere and wandering riffs throughout, this is just dark grim and evil while never relenting on its path. Songs stretch on for way to long for their own good and at some point it feels like youve heard the same riff play for 20minutes now.
Sadly, as much as i enjoy Black Metal lately, this record wasnt it.

Neurotech give us their yearly record with "In Delta Negative".
It combines Neurotechs well known variant of Trance Metal and Industrial Metal, but doesnt stray far off from what we know. It just combines the pieces in a way that feels refreshing. The heavy parts hit really hard, the chill party are soothing and serve as a rest.
No this record is not groundbreaking in any way, but it does what it does quite well and therefore gets my praises. I really enjoyed my time with it!

Wow... just wow.
A band i have never heard of before, presenting me one of the most coherent fusions of Black Metal, Atmosphere, Classical Instruments and Spoken Word. This record goes deep into poetry, politics and public critique. This record ranges from deep bellowing Black Metal to soothing athmosphere with violin.
It really was a suprise in such a lackluster year for dark and brooding music so far (if youu ask me). So im really happy with it.

Mirar return to the scene. This duo continues to bend what listenable music even means. They combine classical music with the crushing depth of thall and create this atmosphere of sound that really shakes up the idea of what music could and should be.
I enjoyed their first EP alot, then the record didnt hit for me. But this ep, again does. The addition of vocals in the final track, also make this feel much more grandiose.
In general these songs go alot more towards Humanities Last Breath in ... read more

This is a nice record, mixing hardcore and thrash influence to something close to a Crossover Thrash direction. It has fun riffs, but lacks memorability. Nothing here is bad by any means, but nothing stuck to me either. So overall its alright. Nothing i will return to sadly.

This record combines some dark, but highly produced Black Metal, with some Power Metal Elements. This creates some hooks that really stuck to me. But i didnt feel much desire to go back to it as a whole record. Some single songs are well done and fun, but I will prefer most other atmospheric Black Metal over it probably!

Black Metal influence in my Metalcore?
I like it.
Harms make their way unto the scene with their debut record "Rebirth Of The Cold".
It combines the harsh atmosphere of Black Metal with the song structure and songwriting of Metalcore to create this slow rolling behemoth of a record.
This really feels like a breeze of fresh air in the Metalcore space.
Sadly not all songs hit the mark for me, and become slightly forgettable. Which is a bummer in such a record.
But overall, if you like ... read more

Periphery are back!
And for me, its their most consistent record to date!
Yes, p4 & p5 had alot higher peaks, but this still is absolute cinema.
It combines the diversity that other periphery records had into relatively easy to get into songs. Yes, it loses a bit of its prog charme while doing so, but to me that doesnt really matter in the outcome.
You still have the heavy hitters like "Mr. God", "Subhuman" and "Malevolent". On the other hand there is full on ... read more

A good Post Hardcore record. For what it is, it did its job really well. But i wasnt really feeling much when listening to it. It somehow really missed me. But the features were cool!

Well, here we are. Metallicas newest record, "72 Seasons".
Their first record to include numbers in the title.
If i could summarize this record it would be: great songs that go on for way to long.
This really goes to show with almost every track being 6+ Minutes. Alot of those tracks couldve been shaved off and slimmed down the long runtime.
Many of these songs feel more like long Jam sessions, than actual catchy songs. The chorusses though, in most of them, are pretty good.
I still ... read more

Metallicas 2016 record "Hardwired... To Self Destruct", coming after "Death Magnetic" which came out 8 YEARS before it. (And no, i dont count Lulu as a real Metallica record.)
This record sees Metallica build on their style from "Death Magnetic" and trying out more ideas to expand on it.
This record is split into 2 discs, clocking in at a little bit over an hour. This long runtime, does hurt the record a little bit, but its not a big problem.
This record is ... read more

The EP, following the weirdness that was Lulu, and trying to come back in where "Death Magnetic" left off.
But to me, it cant even compare to that record. It has a similar writing and riffing style like DM, but the songs feel more like B-Sides than actual standalone songs. The production feels rougher here, which im not a real fan of, but I never had any problem with the compression on DM anyhow.
Many of these songs show very simple riffs and structures. What saves this EP are the fun ... read more

Well, my Metallica discography listen has finally brought me to this.
Lulu. The amalgamation of Lou Reeds, admittedly fascinating but weird lyricism and poetry, paired with very standart Thrash Metal.
And the result is.... not good to put it friendly. Lou Reeds lyrics are to weird for my tastes, making them really bad when they are as pronounced as they are. The instrumentals are really boring, and it creates an absolute jarring mess of a record.
I was incredibly bored, and wanted to turn it ... read more
