Thurisaz - Live & Acoustic
100

To tell you the main idea of my review in a few words, this is the ultimate music experience.

Thurisaz, a band who mainly plays doom and death metal, decided to go acoustic twice in their hometown. That was in late '14, and that was because their style included some heavy songs but some softer ones too, which were their greatest successes (e.g. Endless...). These songs were a side of their character they wanted to express in these lives, never aiming to release a DVD out of it but well, they ... read more

Kvadrat - The Horrible Dissonance of Oblivion
85

Unbelievable dissoblack/death compositions by just one person, and a contender for album of the year. After listening to it once and bought the CD, I must've played it around 15 times by now and it never gets boring.

梶浦由記 [Yuki Kajiura] - Fate/Stay Night [Heaven's Feel] Original Soundtrack Another Edition
100

The best modern composer surpassed even herself this time and gifted us one of the best movie soundtracks of all time; it is debatable if this or Kara no Kyoukai is her best work to date, but yes, it is otherworldly and adds a big dose of greatness to an amazing movie trilogy. There is just nothing wrong; as many times as I listen to Heaven's Feel music, it is flawless.

The Circle - Of Awakening
84

How I want symphonic black metal to be. Setting the atmosphere so well that not even a second sounds tiring. Of Awakening is a very professional work, and the fact that it features Tim Charles definitely means something.

Fathomage - Autumn's Dawn, Winter's Darkness
86

Absolutely wonderful atmospheric black metal with a heavy use of melodic passages and a strong character. You rarely see atmoblack albums of such high caliber.

Magic Dance - Vanishings
97

I seriously believe this is the most underrated album of all time. It is perfect for what it is, and it has a theme that almost everyone can relate to. I bet Magic Dance/Jon Siejka went through a tough break-up with his first love. His inspiration and emotion portrayed through Vanishings feel 100% real, and I love every second of the album. It sounds like a late 80s or 90s album but evolved into a 2010s one with better production quality. The lyrics hit right in the heart and the melodies and ... read more
