I reported this to 2 separate mods in 2021 and 2022, and ALL the reviews are still there.

I hate to even bring it up as I kind of know the guy and it was a long time ago, but continuing to have these misleading, self-promoting reviews on the site is ridiculous.
If you need a list of all the bands they're in, just see here in their lineup.

Edit: I may also suggest looking at these two reviews ([here] and [here]). Knowing the intent here was to promote his own label, I find it not-very-coincidental the only two negative reviews he ever wrote were for bands not on his label. ........... And if I may say, I find O Majestic Winter (which he called "defiling the name of black metal") and Ichabod (a release on his label which he called a "masterpiece") to both sound pretty similar to each other......

..............?
Posted this back in August and, again, reports go back to 2021.

It should have been a simple love story. An atmospheric black/death metal album from the early nineties of Sweden on one side and my easy to impress boyish nature on the other. The scene praises this record with one big voice in unison, the band itself never sold out and the essence of the style itself is hard to mess up. Let's give this a high score and move on, shall we?

No, we absolutely shall the fuck not. Holy christ on a dildo swing, I tried so hard. But after many spins and countless evaluations, this album still pisses me off in a huge way. When compared to other records of the time, it falls short and flat on its face. Can you imagine that Pure Holocaust was released around the same time and unleashed a viscious blizzard of brutality upon the world while this stupid little thing by Necrophobic was bouncing around like a toddler without teeth or brains? I know that it is not always fair to compare one band to another, but in this case I just have to do it. Every threshold of urgent cinematic violence that Necrophobic wanted to cross with this record has already been conquered by Bathory, Morbid Angel and even Slayer long before.

Late to the game and not even aware of it. "The Nocturnal Silence" was hopelessly behind everything and it bores me to death with its thin and slow ways of imitated rebellion. This sounds to me like a second rate cover band without a real vision, only praised because it is old and around long enough for some sort of unearned cult laurels. The riffs are not very brutal or engaging and represent the mediocre standard of the time, the drums with their weak plastic sound and mid range speed do not offer real barbaric beatings and the screams are many steps below the real performances of better wolves and harpies in the neighborhood.

I am sorry, but for a record that rode out to talk about death, darkness and morbid satanic evaluations, this shit just sounds incredibly LAME to me. I could not find a real single moment of compository greatness or biting fury on this album. It just passes me by like a train in the distance. You don't have to be technical as a death/black metal band but it's always obvious when you keep things simple out of necessity, not because you want to but because you can't do it any other way. Darkthrone offered sharp minimalism because it was their will and their pleasure and their passion, Necrophobic on the other hand kept things simple because they lacked options. And I can smell it on them. I can fucking smell it.

In the end, it has to be my fault. Maybe I overlooked something profound and weighty that others found long ago, but I have never discovered the magic and the passion that this record is famed for. I don't like it, I am not moved by it and I don't want to own it. I even hate that lazy cover artwork. Simple minded pricks. Pass.

How the hell did this get through? Had to be AI.

The title of that review should be "In This Album".

Believe it or not, it isn't. I guess the instrument-by-instrument description is still typically human...

Damn. So it's just that terrible?
