Dani Filth's vocals will never not be an acquired taste, no matter how they sound. Symphonic elements at a minimum for them, pretty much everything lame at a minimum.

It's not as evolved as Dusk and Her Embrace yet which is way awesomer.
Yeah the vocals are more amusing than amazing. And some of the riffs are indeed awesome, but many are just as meh as any other CoF riffs.

I definitely found myself banging my head about as many times as I was shrugging. I could learn to like it. And I actually went and relistened to Midian after that and ended up liking it way more than I ever did. Got bored about halfway through but it's unheard of for me to get that far on a CoF album in the first place.

I know I say it every time they're brought up but this us their best album



The mid era stuff post Midian is generally pretty lane and pretty gay, whether or not I enjoy it I'll still agree about the gayness. Then later era stuff from Godspeed through to now is probably hit or miss, but I enjoy it a lot. Godspeed is a cool album, Darkly Darkly us super meh, boring and forgettable, but their last two have a decent dose of badass and catchy riffs and breakdowns.

I guess when you take their entire discography into account it us incredibly spotty

This album definitely presents a whole lot if cool ideas but I think it's a little off balance on the whole. A bunch of djenty progcore to start while the album steadily declined into a mess of predominant jazz noodling for the second half. It all sounds cool, but I think it could have been distributed better. Still, more dynamic and interesting than Meshuggah while clearly doing that whole thing. If you're a fan of them but wish they expanded they're sound further then you'd love this.



This is a great heavy metal album that also has a whack track listing IMO. Like, the first track is a weak point, not bad or anything but it's one of those cheesy heavy metal songs, you know? The two masterful ballads "Anthem to the Estranged" and "Badlands" are nothing but the cat's pajamas and some of the best, but I question their decision in putting them back to back. As a collection of songs though it's fantastic, very nice and technically proficient heavy metal that never hesitates to blast into the thrash zone.



One of the big boys of prog metal that also retains a good amount of extremeness. Some excellent ultra fast and ultra tech guitar on here, a lot if the general prog wank you'd expect, and some wailing violin. I really don't like the clean vocals here though. Not a dis on cleans entirely at all, I just don't dig this guy's voice. Pretty demanding listen.



Pretty cool mathy kinda deathgrind kinda metalcore album. I got an issue of Terrorizer magazine from like 1998 that says this a badass album. It ain't wrong.



Dunno why ive slept on Decapitated when they're quite simply one if the most badass bands to ever exist. This seems to be more clean and mechanical than Winds of Creation, which has the sound I prefer, but that doesn't take anything away from this. Still outrageous riffs and if anything it's more progressive. Winds is just too sick.


Mocket - Fanfare

This was a pretty cool synthpunk album I was glad too find. Mocket seemed to be edgier and noisier than the other stuff.



Wanted to listen to some more synthpunk and remembered this gem. Pretty sure this little EP was their only release though. Energetic stuff as opposed the cold stuff like Suicide

All over it. After Creation Is Crucifixion I need more deathgrind metalcore.
