Someone Is Dying is an album I stumbled upon by chance, but it quickly proved itself to be a discovery worth celebrating. Information about Leprosarium is scarce; beyond their Colombian origins and the fact that this release is independent, the band remains something of...

LORNA SHORE Immortal Hot

9.0

Album EK Even Knudsen Updated September 09, 2021 3070 1 2

Lorna Shore’s music has gradually evolved into a more blackened direction, but without sacrificing their obvious deathcore roots. Not necessarily what I was hoping for since I’m not a huge fan of high pitch screaming vocals, and I much prefer the parts where a...

LEPROUS Malina Hot

6.0

Album EK Even Knudsen Updated September 05, 2017 2530 1 2

'Malina' is the fifth studio album from Norwegian prog rockers Leprous and it represents a slight change in direction musically comparred to their previous releases. The change is not too dramatic but I guss you can say the the song structures somehow appears to...

LABYRINTH Arcitecture Of a God Hot

8.0

Album EK Even Knudsen April 21, 2017 2541 2 1

I have to admit that it's been a while since I paid attention to Italian melodic power metal/progressive metal light band Labyrinth in the later years. Their 1998 masterpiece 'Return To Heaven Denied' is still one of my favorite albums within this genre, but...

LEAVES' EYES Symphonies Of The Night Hot

9.0

Album EK Even Knudsen Updated December 15, 2014 4025 3 1

Leave´s Eyes has always been synonymous with quality and I like all their previous albums, but this time everything has really been taken to another level. ´Symphonies of the night´ seed all the best of the previous albums cuminating into a magnum opus,...

'The Aeon’s Torn' is the second and final part of a concept that began with the debut album "Beyond The Gates Of Imagination pt. 1 '. A reissue of the debut was by the way released the same day as 'The Aeon’s Torn'. LEVIATHAN...

LAST KINGDOM Chronicles Of The North Hot

7.0

Album EK Even Knudsen Updated December 04, 2014 4430 0 1

Last Kingdom ble unnfanget ved en av Volvos produksjonslinjer i 2004 der Stefan Jacobsen og Freddy Olofsson møttes som arbeidskolleger og etter hvert oppdaget at de hadde felles musikalske preferanser. Noen demoer og mange besetningsendringer senere er nå albumet 'Chronicles of the north' klart....

LUNAR AURORA Hoagascht Hot

4.0

Album ØW Øystein Winsnes Updated December 04, 2014 4105 0 1

Tyske Lunar Aurora har eksistert siden 1994, og dette er deres niende fullengder. Så vidt jeg vet har de alltid sunget på tysk, noe som forsåvidt passer bra inn med deres kalde black metal-framtoning. Bandet har hatt pause noen år nå, men jeg vet...

LES DISCRETS Ariettes oubliées... Hot

6.0

Album ØW Øystein Winsnes Updated December 04, 2014 4530 0 1

Les Discrets er herved ute med sin andre plate. Disse franskmennene er en del av den samme scenen som Alcest, dvs. at musikken ligger i landskapet som vagt kan kalles shoegazing post rock, om noen forstår seg på slike uttrykk... ...

LAY DOWN ROTTEN Mask Of Malice Hot

9.0

Album EK Even Knudsen Updated December 04, 2014 2816 0 1

Historien til tyske Lay Down Rotten strekker seg såpass langt tilbake i tid som til 1999 og de har fem studioutgivelser på samvittigheten i forkant av denne. Dette til tross så er dette av en eller annen uforståelig grunn mitt første møte med bandets...
