Incubus -A Crow Left of the Murder...
Senmayan
The incubus in this album approach a rock often contaminated by post-grunge and typical melodies of American rock. The result is excellent, but not comparable to the previous records! more
Helloween -Keeper of the Seven Keys, Part II
Senmayan
History of power and metal. A great classic, with songs that many power bands would kill to write, talking about "I Want Out" or "Rise and Fall" (but we could also add the long title track), songs that can appeal even to those who are not fans of the genre. In short, an essential classic! more
Helloween -Keeper of the Seven Keys, Part I
Senmayan
Rougher than its successor, yet this too is a great masterpiece that has influenced dozens and dozens of bands! more
Ephel Duath -The Painter's Palette
Senmayan
Genius, crazy, masterpiece! An album that surprised me a lot: metal-jazz-grind-blackmetal-fusion, in a blend that works perfectly. A must-listen multiple times. more
Emperor -Prometheus: The Discipline of Fire & Demise
Senmayan
A very experimental album; we can no longer talk about black metal, although here and there some traces of it remain. A beautiful album as usual, perhaps lacking the atmosphere of the previous ones, but the genius (that extra something that distinguishes the Emperor from the rest of the black crowd) is still there! more
Emperor -Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk
Senmayan
What a delight this album is! I love it! Chaotic, barbaric compositions that seem to testify to a barbarian horde destroying everything in its path. Some passages are hair-raising. Symphonic, extreme, theatrical! more
Dimmu Borgir -Spiritual Black Dimensions
Senmayan
Not as good as the previous work (Enthrone...), but many tracks are really great. With this album, Dimmu Borgir enhance their symphonic side, and the aggression decreases, but not entirely! more
The Dillinger Escape Plan -Calculating Infinity
Senmayan
When it was released, this album was truly ahead of everyone and definitely revolutionized the extreme scene! In fact, many clone bands were born thanks to this album. Currently, this sound is inflated, yet the original is always better! more
The Dillinger Escape Plan -Irony Is a Dead Scene
Senmayan
Mike Patton + Dillinger Escape Plan. No need to add anything else! more
Death Angel -The Ultra-Violence

Death Angel — The Ultra-Violence | DeRank™: 0,00

Technically very valid and unique for the genre they propose (thrash). Truly a great album, absolutely not inferior to the recognized masterpieces of the genre (Metallica, Slayer, etc.). more

David Bowie — Heroes | DeRank™: 0,00

One of Bowie's masterpieces, perfect in both the songs and the instrumentals! more
Darkthrone -Transilvanian Hunger

Darkthrone — Transilvanian Hunger | DeRank™: 0,00

Masterpiece with an incredible atmosphere: minimal, dark, mysterious, one of the highest peaks of the genre. An album whose depth has rarely been matched by other black metal bands! more
Converge -Jane Doe

Converge — Jane Doe | DeRank™: 0,00

An engaging and intense album in many of its parts, as only this genre can be! more
Carcass -Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious
Senmayan
The masterpiece of Carcass! A sprinkle of grind and on top of that add a death with a thousand tempo changes. Unfortunately, this description cannot convey the beauty of this album in the slightest! A colossus of extreme metal! more
Blind Guardian -Imaginations From The Other Side
Senmayan
Nice! Not the masterpiece that everyone claims it to be (that’s Nightfall), but certainly an original album made by a band that said something new in metal and moved away from the worn-out clichés of power. more
Anathema -A Natural Disaster

Anathema — A Natural Disaster | DeRank™: 0,00

I was a bit disappointed by the album (compared to their very high standards), especially in the more intense tracks that feel out of place. Even the final "violence," despite being beautiful and lasting 10 minutes, gets a bit tedious in the fast parts. Yet, the rest is always filled with great class and moving melodies; however, the best song is the title track, sung by a female voice that evokes Portishead. 3.5 rounded up to 4. more
Alice Cooper -Raise Your Fist And Yell
Senmayan
What would come out if Alice Cooper decided to make a pure heavy metal album? The answer is "Raise your fist and yell," beautiful, dark, atmospheric, and ahead of more renowned heavy metal bands. Prince of darkness also features in the soundtrack of my favorite horror film, "il signore del male" by Carpenter. more
Alice Cooper -Welcome To My Nightmare
Senmayan
A bit overrated. There are certainly remarkable pieces like the title track, for instance, or one of his best ballads "only women bleed," but the rock energy of the early days is somewhat toned down here, and everything feels a bit contrived. Nice but not a masterpiece; Alice Cooper has done better. 3.5 more
Alice Cooper -Billion Dollar Babies
Senmayan
The best of Alice Cooper, every song a potential hit! more
