 This album, sadly, marks the end of my relationship with Moonspell.

 Fernando Ribeiro, always the true star, is undeniably the focus of the album and it hurts to hear him sing bland and senseless melodies.

The reviewer reflects on a 20-year journey with Moonspell ending with their album 'Extinct.' The band’s shift toward 80s-inspired goth metal feels like a betrayal despite occasional standout tracks. Although the album isn’t bad, it lacks the intensity and originality of earlier works. Key songs show effort to break from formulaic structures, but overall the change leaves the reviewer uncertain about future loyalty. Discover Moonspell’s evolving sound and decide if 'Extinct' resonates with your metal journey.

 "An album with great songs, redundant and exaggerated arrangements and zero (I say zero!) sense; a way, in my opinion, to fill a time gap while waiting for a new work."

 "Daniel Gildenlow is a genius and he knows it very well and it breaks my heart to hear him show off singing 4 different styles in 3 seconds of a song."

 I no longer recognize them, my Orange Goblin.

 It’s clear that we all still desperately need them, in their best form.

Orange Goblin’s 'Back from the Abyss' delivers the band’s classic raw and gritty sound but fails to recapture the innovation and emotion of their early work.

Notable tracks like 'Demon Blues' and 'Sabbath Hex' stand out, but overall the album shows a continued decline from their golden years. The review highlights changes in band dynamics and vocal evolution, expressing disappointment in the album’s homogeneity. Explore Orange Goblin’s latest album and decide if their raw energy still hits the mark for you.
