MORBID ANGEL - BLESSED ARE THE SICK


Music Review

Artist : MORBID ANGEL
Album : BLESSED ARE THE SICK

Cool Track/s : Day of Suffering, Unholy Blasphemies, Abominations
Rate : 8 / 10

Morbid Angel is a Florida-based death metal band assembled in 1983. Many says this band is one of the first genre to bring death metal to its brutal side.

Their songs are complex in arrangement, owing to the considerable technical skills of guitarist Trey Azagthoth and drummer Pete Sandoval. If you haven't notice, Morbid Angel albums have been released in alphabetical order. So far it's 'A to H' with 'heretic' is their last album. I love this album so much. The music is brutal death metal with classical influence. Their songs structure is differ from other death bands. Trey explore his darkest side and mixed it with classical riffs and matched it with the fast tempo of Pete's blastbeats drumming. So cool !!

Tracklist :
1. Intro
2. Fall from grace
3. Brainstorm
4. Rebel Lands
5. Doomsday celebration
6. Day of suffering
7. Blessed are the Sick / Leading the Rats

EMPEROR - IN THE NIGHTSIDE ECLIPSE

Music Review

Artist : EMPEROR
Album : IN THE NIGHTSIDE ECLIPSE

Cool Track/s : I am The Black Wizard, The Burning Shadows Of Silence
Rate : 8 / 10

'IN THE NIGHTSIDE ECLIPSE' is the debut album by Norwegian black metal band 'EMPEROR'. This album features one of their best-known song, "I am the Black Wizards", and is considered a defining album for the black metal genre. It also featured two cover songs as bonus tracks (listed below), the first of which also appears on the Bathory tribute album "In Conspiracy With Satan".

When you talking about 'Emperor', then you have to talk about complexity. Their music is - i say - complex atmospheric black metal. The blast beats drums is always mixed with keyboards and fast but catchy guitar riffs. Make their music so rich and atmospheric. And the scream.. well, it is black metal with Big B, indeed!! For you black metal freaks, you should have this one!!

Tracklist :
1. Into the Infinity of Thoughts
2. The Burning Shadows of Silence
3. Cosmic Keys to my Creations and Times
4. Beyond the Great Vast Forest
5. Towards the Pantheon
6. The Majesty of the Nightsky

BURZUM - BURZUM / ASKE

Music Review

Artist : BURZUM
Album : BURZUM / ASKE

Cool Track/s : Ea, Lord of The Depth, My Jouney To The Stars
Rate : 9 / 10

Burzum began in 1991 as a prominent and influential Norwegian black metal solo project of Varg Vikernes (born Kristian Vikernes). Originally, he used the pseudonym Count Grishnackh. Burzum was instrumental in the crystallisation of early black metal, much of which is due to the infamy attributed to Vikernes since the murder of his former bandmate (Varg played bass on one of Mayhem's albums) Øystein Aarseth, who is known better to some by his stage name of "Euronymous".

Vikernes has described Burzum as a kind of "spell" or recreation of an imaginary world tied in with Pagan history. Vikernes claims the intent to create this fantasy world came from dissatisfaction with the real world. He has stated the "message" of Burzum can be found in the lyrics of the first song on this album (Feeble Screams From Forests Unknown)

In my oppinion, this album is really classic. Atmospheric. From start to finish, the tracks build an atmosphere of darkness, sadness, and despair. My favorits are Ea, Lord of The Depth and My Journey To The Stars. The riffs are so melodic that you won't easily forget, instead it will follow you through your dreams. Bringing your dark souls into surface. If you're a true black metal fans, you should have this one.
A Masterpiece !! Hail Darkness !!

Tracklist :
1. Feeble Screams from Forests Unknown
2. Ea, Lord of the Depths
3. Black Spell of Destruction
4. Channeling the Power of Souls into A New God
5. War
6. The Crying Orc
7. A Lost Fotgotten Sad Spirit
8. My Journey to the Stars
9. Dungeons of Darkness
