 After the violently blasphemous opening of 'Telocvovim,' the Finnish Enochian Crescent repeatedly demonstrated their self-destructive tendencies and truly nihilistic, homicidal, Satanic nature.

 An unapproachable, reckless, evil album and band; beyond joy, beyond the world.

Enochian Crescent's album Babalon Patralx De Telocvovim captures the band's raw nihilistic and satanic essence through violent, aggressive black metal. The review highlights the chilling atmosphere created by the tracks, praising the mix of harsh vocals, powerful riffs, and evocative musical arrangements. Although some tracks are less engaging, the album ends with a strong, acid-infused finale. The band's unapologetic intensity places them beyond typical extreme metal acts. Explore the dark depths of Enochian Crescent’s extreme black metal legacy—listen to Babalon Patralx De Telocvovim now!

 R.E.M. are like the sky of your city during Christmas holidays; they are like a beer that makes everything a little less exhausting, relaxing, more bearable for a moment.

 Those who love music will love R.E.M., those who prefer pseudo-compositions will not appreciate Stipe and his fellows.

This review praises R.E.M.'s anthology album, In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003, for its unforgettable tracks and unique blend of indie and pop rock. It highlights Michael Stipe's distinctive voice and the album's evocative atmospheres. The review also acknowledges some notable song omissions but emphasizes the collection's overall significance. Recommended for all lovers of good rock and timeless music. Listen to R.E.M.'s In Time and rediscover the magic of their timeless hits today!

 "Black Metal really in its most rotten and bestial state in 'Under A Funeral Moon', a suicidal-song where... limitless cold and exasperated violence."

 "Nocturno Culto’s sulfuric acid scream dominates a rancid riff that almost seems to screech, a pounding drum, and an invisible bass."

Darkthrone’s 'Under a Funeral Moon' is a cold, raw black metal album that fits between their iconic trilogy but stands alone with its minimalistic, violent sound. While it doesn’t innovate drastically, its atmosphere and harsh vocals deliver a wicked listening experience. Noteworthy tracks like 'Natassja In Eternal Sleep' and 'To Walk The Infernal Fields' highlight the cold, brutal essence of early Norwegian black metal. The album’s minimalist production and repetitive, hypnotic riffs contribute to its chilling aura. Dive into the chilling world of Darkthrone's 'Under a Funeral Moon' and experience raw black metal at its finest!

 "'Vinterskugge' is a monumental project, extremely heterogeneous, offering a truthful, complete, and always fresh portrait of Fenriz's career."

 I find myself holding and listening to more and more attentively... in the vain attempt to make sense of what 90% of 'music connoisseurs' claim.

 The Great Gig in the Sky is praised despite being a piece completely devoid of grace with a clumsy as uncreative female scream.

This review challenges the widely accepted acclaim of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, criticizing its musicality, symbolism, and experimental approach. The reviewer finds the album overrated and lacking artistic depth. They question the creative choices and dismiss popular praise as misguided. The review aims to provide a more truthful perspective against the established myth of the album's greatness. Dive into this unfiltered review and reconsider the legacy of Pink Floyd's legendary album.

 This demo was even better than "Aurora Borealis," even more glacial, rawer, and at the same time more evocative and bursting with harsh black-death explosions and interwoven with Viking elements.

 These are spine-tingling moments, indispensable for any admirer of the genre, which certainly do honor to a band that from the beginning revealed itself to be so creative and adept at finding such bold and successful musical solutions.

This review praises Einherjer’s Leve Vikingånden EP for its raw and evocative blend of black-death metal with Viking elements. The music features heavy riffs, chilling clean vocals, and a dynamic mix of folk and epic breaks. It compares favorably even to their notable Aurora Borealis album. Despite its short length, the EP is considered unmissable for genre fans. Listen to Einherjer’s Leve Vikingånden EP now and experience a powerful Viking metal journey!

 The compositional style of the album is indeed rather repetitive, and at some points touches monotony.

 Ultimately, a solid, pompous piece, certainly of higher quality than the CD average.

Dødheimsgard's 'Kronet Til Konge' is a True Norwegian Black Metal album with strong atmospheric intent but marred by repetitive riffs and minimal variation. Fenriz and Aldrahn contribute to an oppressive sound that sometimes hints at creativity but often stays within a narrow scope. Some tracks stand out for their mood and musical elements, though overall the album is a challenging listen. The vocal and instrumental performances evoke cold and dark emotions but lack a memorable breakthrough. Explore Dødheimsgard's 'Kronet Til Konge' to experience raw and atmospheric Norwegian Black Metal roots.

 "The title track is a spectacular ride on the nightly waves of the North Sea, accompanied by a repetitive riff and a breathtaking purely viking choir."

 "The main value of the piece likely belongs to Frode 'Grimar' Glesnes, capable of creating melodic lines conveying sensations from natural cold to pure acoustic pleasure."

Einherjer's Aurora Borealis delivers a captivating blend of Nordic Viking metal infused with black metal. The album evokes pagan-Scandinavian culture through icy riffs, dynamic vocals, and skilled instrumentation. Standout tracks like the title piece highlight the band's fresh yet traditional style. Though brief, the album offers both emotional depth and musical complexity. Dive into the icy depths of Einherjer's Aurora Borealis and experience authentic Nordic Viking metal today!

 The self-titled release contained all the elements of a true black-viking masterpiece, with a predominance of the former character.

 One cannot remain unaffected by the second guitar, in a couple of instances almost symphonic and truly spine-tingling.

Borknagar's self-titled 1996 debut is hailed as a black Viking metal masterpiece. The album combines icy intensity with technical precision and atmospheric folk elements. Garm's vocal work and the outstanding instrumentation create an immersive, chilling experience. Highlights include standout tracks like "Vintervredets Sjelesagn" and "Dauden." The album delivers a perfect balance of violent energy and melodic complexity. Dive into Borknagar's legendary debut and experience an icy black Viking metal masterpiece firsthand!

 An album less evil and 'black' than others, more focused on themes of despair, depression, and the end.

 Ultimately, an album that can convey all that pain and despair that no one would ever want to feel, but once awakened by listening to such notes, no one will find the courage and strength to give them up.

Filosofem marks a pivotal moment in Varg Vikernes' career, blending ambient keyboards with heavy black metal. The album expresses deep themes of despair and death with hypnotic riffs and haunting lyrics. Notable tracks stand out for their emotional weight and poetic darkness. The lengthy ambient piece 'Rundgang Um Die Transzendentale Saeule Der Singularitaet' highlights Vikernes' experimental genius. Filosofem remains a challenging but profoundly affecting album. Dive into Burzum's Filosofem to experience the dark depths of black metal and ambient despair like never before.
