 I can’t help but laugh at the listening of this thing.

 They launch into a festival of clichés, with constant allusions to Alexi Lahio’s band with truly terrible results.

Divercia's 2004 album Cycle Of Zero marks a disappointing shift from their earlier progressive metal style to clichéd death metal influenced heavily by Children of Bodom and H.I.M. Despite solid instrumental skills, the album lacks originality and groove. Only a few tracks, like 'Start At The End,' recall their more emotionally rich past. Overall, the album is criticized for failing to live up to the band's previous promise. Discover why Divercia’s Cycle Of Zero misses the mark—read the full review and listen to the album yourself!

 This 'Collision' is a useless, pretentious, annoyingly harmless album and not very appealing from a melodic point of view.

 The album translates into a dull rap metal mess, which would embarrass even bands like Limp Bizkit.

The review criticizes C-187's Collision as a pretentious, confusing album that fails to live up to the talent involved. Despite having legendary musicians, the album is described as a dull and chaotic mix of technical death metal and rap metal elements. Some tracks show promise, but overall, the production feels over-polished and artificial. The reviewer strongly prefers Patrick Mameli's earlier work, especially 'Spheres.' Discover why C-187's Collision left veteran fans disappointed—listen and judge for yourself!

 Lovers of Italian metal, and metal lovers in general, make this record yours, no matter how, but make it yours.

 They have managed to give us a product of great class in which melody, emotions, and technical performances coexist in perfect balance.

This album is highly recommended for metal fans seeking emotional depth and technical skill. Listen to Dark Quarterer's Violence now and experience a powerful blend of epic metal mastery!

 Is it possible to be so flat even though all the songs are cute? The answer is yes, it is indeed possible.

 The rest, as mentioned, just can’t make an impact, furthermore resulting particularly repetitive in the melodic lines.

Chaoswave's 2006 album The White Noise Within attempts a modern thrash sound with cyber and prog metal influences. Despite strong production and some good tracks like the opener and "Mirror," the album suffers from repetitiveness and lack of personality. Vocal performances are seen as lacking impact, and the music struggles to make a lasting impression. The album is considered inconsistent with many weak moments, ultimately falling short compared to other Italian and international metal acts. Discover the highs and lows of Chaoswave’s The White Noise Within—read the full review and listen to decide for yourself!

 Defiant Imagination immediately manages to capture the attention of the average tech-metal enthusiast.

 Yanic Bercier is absolutely one of the best drummers of the extreme scene with his ability to vary rhythms and fire off double bass drum patterns so naturally.

Quo Vadis' 2004 album Defiant Imagination delivers a powerful blend of technical death metal infused with melodic and progressive elements. The band members display top-tier musicianship, with standout performances on vocals, guitar, drums, and bass. The album balances aggression and elegance with clear, clean production. Despite a slight emotional coldness compared to past works, the music remains engaging and impactful for metal enthusiasts. Dive into Quo Vadis' Defiant Imagination and experience a fierce blend of technical brilliance and melodic power in death metal!

 This album draws its greatest inspiration from Motorhead and AC/DC, especially the former.

 It is regrettable that an appreciable artist like Shagrath has failed this time.

Chrome Division's Doomsday Rock'N Roll is a technically solid album inspired heavily by Motorhead and AC/DC. Despite strong performances and quality production, it suffers from a lack of originality and borderline plagiarism in both composition and vocals. Fans of Shagrath might appreciate the album, but it's otherwise a straightforward, unremarkable hard rock record. Recommended mainly for die-hard fans of the involved musicians or classic rock influences. Listen to Chrome Division's Doomsday Rock'N Roll and decide if this rock tribute hits or misses for you!

 "These Norwegians prove to be extremely cohesive throughout the entire album, offering a clear performance, without any decline in quality from any member."

 "'Shipwrecked In Oslo' is indeed not only a musical product, but it also incorporates much more theatrical elements, making the atmosphere more lavish and fascinating."

Arcturus' 'Shipwrecked In Oslo' captures the band at their peak, delivering an 80-minute live concert full of technical prowess, theatrical flair, and a career-spanning setlist.

 I MISS EVERYTHING CONNECTED TO ARCTURUS.

 Arcturus will leave an immense legacy to the metal world, which unfortunately no one seems to have picked up.

The review expresses a deep nostalgic appreciation for Arcturus and their 1994 album 'Constellation.' It praises the band's unique blend of aggressive yet melodic symphonic black metal, highlighting the standout vocals of Garm and virtuosic musicianship. Despite some flaws like low recording quality, the album is seen as a pioneering and atmospheric work with lasting influence. The reviewer emphasizes how Arcturus never repeated themselves and brought fresh air to the black metal scene. Discover the atmospheric power of Arcturus' Constellation—listen now and explore a true black metal classic!

 Annalist effectively abandoned extreme metal to dedicate themselves to a more sober and elegant progressive rock.

 The best song of the whole cd... displays all their instrumental capability, opting for odd rhythms, complex solos, yet all following a melodic line of great taste and elegance.

Annalist's album 'Memories' marks a departure from their death metal roots towards a sophisticated progressive rock style with doom and gothic touches. The band emphasizes group cohesion and atmospheric depth across varied track lengths, showcasing elegant instrumental sections. Highlights include the emotionally rich 'Strange Voice From The Past' and the complex, melodic instrumental 'All Things Must Pass'. Despite subpar mixing quality, the album stands out for its musical ambition and mood. Explore Annalist's 'Memories' for a rich journey through progressive rock and emotional atmospheres—listen now and dive into their unique soundscape!

 Jorn Lande adds an extremely theatrical and precise interpretation, making the album compelling from the first track.

 Although a bit static at times and with minor style lapses, this record is nevertheless a more than good work, supported by decent production.
