Hell

 Those like me who loved the real masterpieces of the Bride, will find themselves listening tirelessly to them outshining the listens of this rather bad 'For Lies I Sire'.

 Can we perhaps say that the Bride is truly dying?

The review assesses 'For Lies I Sire' as a somewhat disappointing release from My Dying Bride, noting a lack of strong atmosphere and inspired songwriting. While the band’s class and some standout tracks remain evident, the album often feels faded and derivative of their previous work. Fans of the band’s earlier masterpieces may find this effort lacking passion and fresh ideas. Despite its flaws, the album demonstrates the band's enduring identity, albeit tired. Explore My Dying Bride's 'For Lies I Sire' to hear the evolution and decide if the classic doom spirit still shines.

 Heresy is none of that: it shapes and evolves on its own, instinctive and wild, grows unpredictably and entwines without schemes, it is monstrous, it is twisted, it is wicked; it’s frightening.

 From the first to the last minute, Lustmord lets the music construct itself and embody not his ideas, but himself. Because Heresy IS Lustmord, his demonic shadow in all its greatness.

This review praises Lustmord's 1990 album Heresy as the ultimate expression of darkness in music. It highlights the album's primal, instinctive nature and its role as a precursor to later works. Heresy is described as a shapeshifting, monstrous suite that defies conventional structure and embodies the essence of its creator. The album is revered for its rawness and terrifying atmosphere, making it a cornerstone of dark ambient music. Explore Lustmord's Heresy and immerse yourself in the primal depths of dark ambient music today.

 "Above falls short on all fronts, starting from the guitars, an almost essential element given the more ‘metal-oriented’ sound."

 "Above represents only a stagnant and negligible transitional episode, devoid of the polish of any previous album."

The review critiques Samael's album Above as a disappointing return to their metal origins, highlighting poor songwriting, weak riffs, and subpar production.

 Lustmord has decided to shed his somewhat misanthropic attitude and rely on some significant collaborations.

 The rating cannot go beyond mere sufficiency; and let’s hope Brian doesn’t concoct much worse mishaps.

While some tracks shine, others struggle with form and engagement, resulting in a mixed experience. The album pushes boundaries but can feel incomplete or difficult to follow. Overall, it’s a half-successful effort that showcases Lustmord's signature style yet disappoints in parts. Explore Lustmord’s 'Other' for a journey into intense dark ambient soundscapes blended with notable collaborations.

 Conflict is mute, anger is blind, hatred is deaf: but we feel them only when we harm someone, even (and especially) ourselves.

 'Strife' converts hatred and rage into a musical landscape that highlights the true, authentic nature of these two emotions: emptiness.

The review analyzes 'Strife' by Desiderii Marginis as a bleak and cold exploration of conflict through a complex soundscape. The album's silent yet powerful expression conveys hatred and emptiness rather than passion. Select tracks offer rare emotional glimpses amid the desolation. Overall, it portrays a post-apocalyptic world where forgiveness remains elusive. Dive into the chilling soundscape of 'Strife' and experience the haunting silence of conflict like never before.
