Fallen

First of all, I would like to clarify a few points. Nödtveidt belonged to the Misanthropic Luciferian Order, also known as MLO, a satanist group that is alien to practices such as rituals and sacrifices, and preaches the worship of hedonism. The order's structure, made up exclusively of philosophers, artists, and intellectuals, dictates that at its peak, the adept takes their own life as an ultimate gesture of mastery over their physical and spiritual being. Jon Nödtveidt wanted to honor the oath he took with the order, in an act of coherence with his own ideas even before those of the MLO, which today earns him, if not admiration (let's not forget he was a murderer), the respect of those within the scene, myself included. As for the review, I find it too detached and lacking in depth. One can overlook the absence of mentions of tracks like Thorns Of Crimson Death, but this album features the best song by Dissection, Night's Blood, and it’s not even acknowledged. There is no mention of the vocal contributions from It or Legion. Moreover, the fact that Where Dead Angels Lie was included in the CD reissue in two versions, as it belongs to the demo, is not mentioned. Dissection is an important band. They cannot be dismissed like this.

I'm eager to know what you think about the antaeus. As soon as you listen, let me know.

Good boy. Also pique a blackster's interest. I've always liked the Scandinavian death metal scene a lot, even though I've criticized its lack of brutal aggression. This group might fill that gap. The review is excellent, and from what I gather, the nuances of the album are so many and complex that the descriptive work must have been intricate. We'll reward you for this, dear student.
I also take this opportunity to tell you that you're an asshole. I wrote the review for Cut Your Flesh And Worship Satan, an album you might have liked, even recommending it to you over your Gorgoroth, and you didn't even listen to me. That's it, it’s over between you and me.

I know them only marginally, but I’ve never had the chance to delve deeper. The Swedish sound has somewhat bored me, given that the underground almost always refers back to the national legends of the genre like Marduk, Dark Funeral, and Setherial. Aside from these, I would point out Pest (also Swedish, not to be confused with the Finnish ones, who are also quite good), who with Blasphemy Is My Throne have marked an indelible and unfortunately also unknown chapter of Swedish black metal. The review doesn’t satisfy me. It’s sparse, lacks engagement, and is grammatically incorrect in various places. Furthermore, I find it quite difficult to define riffs as "banal and effective." Don’t take it personally, but you could have put in more effort. Until next time.

The slayers have never excited me...except for a few rare songs. Araya is one of the most overrated singers in metal, and to say that Lombardo is the best drummer in the world scene is at least an absurdity. As for the rest, the review is quite analytical.

Twisted but excellent. One of the best Italian realities.

Certainly the truest and most heartfelt work of the band. Perhaps in framing the themes of the album, the reviewer was a bit too forceful, but the review is still excellent. Normally, for the lack of reference to songs like "Scars" and "Subway Apathy," even though the review, as mentioned, is very good, I would have given it a 4... but you were able to explain the reasons behind this choice, and I think I have deeply understood them. Well done.

Good job. I'm not a big fan of the band, but I saw them in Milan this year. Maybe it was the unique atmosphere, maybe the very fitting weather (black clouds and occasional chilly gusts, which seemed to have arisen just for them, because the first afternoon had been incredibly sunny), maybe it was that wonderful group of Swedish girls, but I felt a couple of chills on those notes as well... even though I don't particularly appreciate them, I'm aware of their emotional charge, perfectly conveyed by the review... all in all, thanks to Opeth, I had a great afternoon.

Kosmo...! Tell me, are you as beautiful as usual?

Falkenbach should mean "Nest of the Falcon." I find the review well-structured, but a bit too hurried... "ultima thule" cannot be dismissed in just two lines... I would also like to point out that in this album, Tyrann from Ordo Draconis collaborated as a singer, constituting the black metal element of the project, while the other session members mostly came from symphonic or viking bands.
