I would like to see Ultraboris review "The Cult Is Alive".

Even better - UltraBoris reviewing a Velvet Cacoon album. My god, that would be so funny.

My review for Folkearth is up now. Excellent job, I really love the album.

do you know sometjing about band Eldritch?
i think their album EL NINO is one of the best albums in this genre...

If your talking to me, I'll see what I can do.

Anyone else have any albums they want to see reviewed?

I can't think of much, but we could always use another review for Belphegor's Goatreich-Fleshcult album.

I'd like to see someone like KayTeeBee review Krieg's "The Black House" and "Blue Miasma." Anyone well versed in the genre would be good too.

Excuse me for the laziness, but what genre would that be? And wouldn't it also be effective to get a perspective from someone that's not familiar with or predisposed to hold it in high esteem?

I'll see what I can do.

I have heard of Krieg, but never listened to them.

They're black metal. And, the perspective would be depending on what he's looking for. Those two albums are fairly well known for being completely different than the rest of the Krieg catalogue, and someone who knows and likes Krieg's other work could make a useful viewpoint.

Myself- I personally think they're some of his weaker works, and definitely his weakest full-lengths. I haven't heard all of Blue Miasma, but the two tracks I have heard sucked ass, and "The Black House" just doesn't compare with Destruction Ritual or Sono Lo Scherno

I'm just interested to see what everyone else thinks about them, especially "Blue Miasma." I'm sure fans of older Krieg won't enjoy them as much, though I hold all of Krieg's catalogue in high-esteem.

Good clarification. Thank you for your comprehension.

No problem. It seems another review for it is already up. Must have missed it on the main page.

I'm pretty sure I just reviewed this and then it was taken down... Or I missed my e-mail saying it was denied.

To Mr. Guyone:
You can review what you want,but let your fingers away from Black Metal stuff, because you are definetly not into it . To download mp3s is easy(Mayhemic Truth,Forlorn etc.)but to review downloaded stuff is big shit. I have seen all of your reviews and I don´t believe that you own a single album that you had reviewed. First step: get the original album, second step: reviewing.A review based on a mp3 is nothing else than wasted time.

And once again,please review the kind of music you are listening to. I am listening to Black metal underground,but I would not have the idea (and time) to review a Progressive,New,Death or Heavy Metal Band,because I am NOT into it.There are enough people here who would do this job better than me.

Thank you

A Down's Syndrome child with an internet connection could probably do a beter job reviewing his own leaking stool than you could a black metal album

Other words,same meaning!

I'm surprised no one reviewed Sarcofagus. They are Finland's first heavy metal band. It would be great if someone could review Sarcofagus / Kimmo Kuusniemi Band's "Moottorilinnut", which is available for download at their website.

No, I was saying you're an idiot.

Ah, there you go OSS. You've certainly and consistently welcomed into the fold, but now you're really one of the family!!

Back to the rightful topic:

I'd like to see reviews for:

Meliah Rage - Barely Human (I need to see a review that considers it just "okay", which I think is my stance on the album. The title track is pretty lame IMO)

Thee Plague of Gentlemen - Primula Pestis (Pretty good Doom/Sludge stuff)

Swallow The Sun - Ghosts of Loss (I really liked the first album, but there's a big drop in quality melodies, and therefore pales in comparison to "The Morning Never Came")

That's all for now, with the obligatory broken record of Belphegor's Goatreich album, which though I would love to see more positive reviews, I just think everybody should try the album out.

I would really like (once again) for someone to go to my homesite www.cruordeum.com and download Cruor Deum's 2005 album "Lies Shall Command" and review the damn thing... It's always nice with feedback. Oh, and if you're really feeling horny whilst listening to my music, go buy the new album "The Need for Theory" at www.soundclick.com. Go on.. It's right there

I've downloaded most of the record at your site. Good stuff, I'll review it soon(ish).

I would like to see a review for Midvinter - At the Sight of the Apocalypse Dragon. Such a great album deserves a review.

Thank you internet-metalgod! You are a good example for the fact that the Internet produced a totally different and strange sort of metal "scene" within the last years.

And you're example of how evolution has failed to pull the entire human race out of the primordial ooze.

To insult people seems to be typical for forum-metallers like you, but that´s not my level, sorry!
So I return to arguments, I hope it´s not an excessive demand for you:
If someone even have not the promo, he has no informations about the release, except the music. If you are requested here to write about the SOUND of an album, you depend on the quality of your fucking mp3. I don´t know if you own original material, but mp3 contents always a leak of quality. Further, I am not able to write,when the stuff was recorded or if there are guest musicians involved in the release, in which studio, theme of lyrics, artwork, label and so on. I know that the music is the most important part, but it stands not for itself (for example there are lots of people who wouldn´t listen to music made by Nationalsocialists,even if the stuff is much better than their "just commercially" music)
If you are not able to get a real copy and "forced" to write about a downloaded mp3, then you should at least note it in your review.
But it will not change the fact, that this kind of review is insufficient.

Great! If you'd like, I can send you the new album (for free) if you'll be willing to review it here...?

Just host it somewhere (as individual tracks as I'm on dial-up) and send me a link and I'll be happy to.

Can someone please review my band's demo (Suffer the Silence - A Welcoming to Departure)? Here's the link:

http://www.sufferthesilence.com/demo_all/

The track listing order can be found here on Metal-Archives, or on our homepage: www.sufferthesilence.com under Discography.

Be honest with it. Thanks.

I put them as free downloads at soundclick:
www.soundclick.com/cruordeum
There was no point selling that album as I didn't put out any cash making it... It just seemed wrong.

Hum... I've downloaded it, it sounds like quite decent melodeath.

I may write something about it before the weekend, do you want me to let you know by PM before posting it, in case of you totally disagree with?

Thanks for being polite, but that's alright. Just go ahead and submit a review. I trust you don't give ultra low marks because it's fun, and extremely high marks because you're a fanboy. Whatever you really feel it deserves, just grade it at that.

I've written your review, it only has to please the mods now

Thanks Sean16 for reviewing my band's demo.

Although, now that it's said and done, I just want to mention that I hate progressive music, or at least straightforward prog. metal to be exact. The song Better Off Dead was actually created about 3 years ago with the first band I had, Triton, when at the time, I liked prog. metal. However, I hate it now (except when used in a sort of acoustic manner); but we decided to input that song because we felt it somewhat of a classic from our perspectives.

The reason the cymbals were so annoying sounding is mainly because one crash cymbal produced that horrible racket to which you refer. Also, A Life Unlived has the loudest sounding cymbals because that was the first time I had actually recorded using this equipment, so I placed the vocal mic that we were using during the recording directly in front of the drumset where the china and splash are (and that song just happens to mainly use those cymbals for effect). My mistake.

To be honest with you, I hate Yngwie Malmsteen. The solo on Better Off Dead I really abhorred upon first hearing, but left it in there because I was pressed for time and really wanted to show my friends at school the next day that we actually had a new song recorded (we were on a tight schedule).

If you can, try and listen to What Words Will Never Convey and observe that the sound is much cleaner (at least drum-wise) than basically the rest of the demo. The reason being: By then I had a good deal of recording experience in using the equipment I possess, and it just so happens that the day before recording that song, that stupid crash cymbal broke and my bro replaced it (and his old hi-hats and stand) with 2 different crashes (and a new hi-hat and stand) which, for a fact, have much better resonance than the older one.

Turkish March...I admit I probably can't play it as well as a European, esp. being from Texas.

Anyway, I enjoyed the review a bunch. Just wanted to let you in on some background info. of the making of the demo since I think it's fun to know the history behind things and the reasons things are affected as they are. I'll let you know when we have another demo, which should be within a few months if all goes according to plan.

Ahahaha... Fun to see that the parts I disliked were the ones you also disagreed with.

I'm requesting a review for the EP linked below. Both songs on the EP didn't make it on the album because I wasn't quite satisfied with them, especially the mixing. I don't think they are bad, personally, I just don't think they fit with the rest of the album. Ironically, the EP will probably be available for the public before the album, because this one I'm burning on CD-R at home, while the album takes time consuming Pro-CD pressing. Anyway, I'd be very glad and thankful for any feedback, particularly in the form of a review.

*tosses it on reviewing pile*

I'm hoping to zoom through the Cruor Deum and STS reviews this week, so hopefully I can get to it soon.

(Notices the song title V8: Saucers over Antarctica)

HOLY FUCKING CTHULHOID SHIT, I MUST HEAR THIS! Who needs NSBM when you have FSBM?

I'll give it a listen. I haven't heard any of your material after "The Return." Reminded me of Black Funeral's later albums to an extent.

When will the Alpha Drone CD be available? I'd like a copy. With the improvement between "Inferno" and "The Return," I'm sure this would be decent.

@Pazuzu: I reviewed Lies Shall Command, hope you enjoy the review and/or find it helpful. Though I didn't find much to criticize in general.
