Lightning to the Nations (The White Album)5 reviews
Diamond Head

Hiv, 1997

Probably the best NWOBHM album ever...

+ Better Writers Than Performers
+ The inspiration for Metallica. Nothing gets any better.

Oh yeah this is the NWOBHM'S finest moment! I think this debut of Diamond Head, that is Lightning To The Nations(1980), is the best NWOBHM album. Because this is much more better than any other NWOBHM classics that were released in 1980. It is absolutely better and more speedy than Iron Maiden's ...

My Dying Bride

Peaceville UK, 2003

Eerie melodic doom metal form beyond the grave

+ I am sold on My Dying Bride.
+ A Must for any Heavy Metal fan-- esp Doom

I am not a huge My Dying Bride fan, or atleast to the degree most people would consider. The only album I've had before this one was "Songs of Darkness, Words of Light," and I heard a good deal of the songs off of both "Like Gods of the Sun," and "The Dreadful Hours." I saw this used, so I bought ...

Opeth

Candlelight, 2003

Supreme

+ Simply flawless
+ I'm rating this album 5 stars

A supreme piece of music from this amazing band. Has a much more shadowy, midieval feel to it, portraying a cold, archaic, beautiful landscape. Production not as lush as subsequent releases, but perfectly suits the mood of the songs. Each song is outstanding, right down to the interludes ...

We Are the Romans
Botch

Hydra Head Records, 2007

Initially released in 2000, Botch's final full-length was a devastating metallic hardcore explosion. Re-released here in a double disc edition, featuring the original recording plus bonus live tracks and the entire album in its hi-fi demo version, "We Are The Romans" is bigger and better than ever. "One of the most revered hardcore bands of the last decade, Botch pioneered the mathmetal school of ...
  
  











  



  
Slaughter of the Soul1 review
At the Gates

Earache Records, 2008

A Timeless Death Metal Masterpiece

At The Gates high point in their career was at the release of this record, Slaughter of The Soul. If you listen to even one song off this record you will know why. Although, Grunge was the new fad ATG stood strong and brought another unrelenting and speedy Melodic Death Metal record to have you ...

Gothic3 reviews
Paradise Lost

Peaceville UK, 2003

The ultimate doom/death album

+ Influential and awsome
+ Unforgivable drumming ruins an otherwise perfect jewel

Their second and by far their best album, "Gothic" combines the brutal doom/death approach of their debut with beautiful melodies and the occasional orchestra and female vocals. Probably the first to do so and certainly the best, this album created an entire genre. (Although present day "gothic ...
