If I find some time I may give it a try, indeed.

Many thanks.

Don't hold your breath, it won't be before at least 10 days.

I'm slammed with work for the next two weeks. I won't be hounding the archives for a review. Even still, thanks.

I've been quite enamoured with VRR's work of late. This one in particular entertained the living hell out of me, and I always make excited little giggling noises wholly unbecoming of one bearing the title 'Metal Lord' when I see his work in the queue:

http://www.metal-archives.com/review.ph ... 6260#84160

This line: ...However, for the sake of getting this review published as a warning to real Metal fans I have been asked to bite the bullet and attempt an actual evaluation..." is his acknowlegement to me as I rejected his first draft because it was a lot of build up and little analysis, plus he capitalized metal.

It's much better now.

Alas, I posted it in the wrong thread...

I would like to see a good review for Xibalba - Ah Dzam Poop Ek. They play raw oldschool black metal with a very distinct and unique Mayan touch.

Do you honestly really "dislike" it? It is strange and it took me a few listenings to get it, but I think this album is pretty good. (even though those are not the words I would use to describe it).


I'd be interested in knowing what droneriot thinks about ordo ad chao...

I'm already working on the review.

good.

That would be a interesting one... 13 reviews 90 %.. uuuh.. for this record? Perhaps you should lay your hands also on the Alcest one, as I expect a lot of fanboyish tendencies there; 2 reviews 100 % at the moment.

I don't know about the Alcest, and I'm not a mayhem fan ( that is: I'd rate deathcrush 75, and DMDS 85, these releases are not in any way perfect), and the latest mayhem release I had listened to was Medialonum capta est (Maniac fuining the whole thing).
So, Ordo ad Chao is an album I don't really enjoy, but I think it is nevertheless a great cd.

Hey Droneriot, are we gonna get the other installments to the 'forgotten gems of germany' series of reviews anytime soon?

Hey, would anyone happen to be interested in reviewing my band's album; Immaculate - Thrash, Kill 'n' Deströy?

Its available for download free of charge from www.immaculatethrash.com, and I would love to get some feedback on it, especially from some of the more well-known/respected review writers on M-A.

Hell yes I would Nero. It's GIR from Grind you silly Street Fighter Shinku Hadouken mofo. :0

Wow, long time no see <3
Let's not spam this thread down though, get on with reviewing!

Right. I'll have an review up by the end of the night.

could anyone please review The Berzerker - Dissimulate? i've seen a lot of bad reviews on it so i'd like to hear some expert opinion because i think the album's fair rating would be around 90%...

I think if more people reviewed it here, the average rating would probably go down even further.

..In other words, the Berzerker suck.

Dissimulate is an awesome album. Still, not 90% material. I don't like much else by them though, they get really repetitive.

Only one review for Mirrothrone - Carriers of Dust? Mirrorthrone are a little bit like Wolves in the Throne Room, but more experimental, with (imo) higher quality production, musicianship, composition, etc. Just a great band. And to top it off, it's a one man band! Crazy...

Yeah it's a pretty good CD, but they are no way like Wolves in the throne Room whatsoever.

Maybe it's just the four-song album thing...

Probably. I like both of em a lot, and while I also like Mirrorthrone a bit more, it's ahrd to say that it's better because IMO both bands are trying to do a totally different approach. The compositions on Carriers of dust are amazing, though.

I have 5 songs up on my myspace account thingy. If you have the time check my songs and tell me what you think.

Go here to listen:

It will start out with the song "Black Metal Warriors" which is very much influenced by German thrash and Old School First Wave BM.

Band : Cruor Deum
Album : The Need for Theory

Download, review!

I'd like to see that too, I was thinking of writing one myself. They're an excellent band, they deserve recognition for their music.

Could someone else PLEASE review some Nadja? There's eleven reviews on that page, 9 of which are mine. There are a few uploads of them within the metal download thread.

I guess I just feel guilty giving so many glowing review to this band without any opposition, or indeed any sort of different opinion. If you like your doom, please give them a listen and bash/praise them!

If anyone could review Serbian folk/black metal band Kagan I would apreciate it.
Band: http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=97650

On official site you may find logo, photos and booklet of the release (in the media section).

I'll do it. Croatia, soon Montenegro and now Serbia.. does anyone have a release of Bosnia that need to be reviewed?

edit: OMG...
edit2: done

Limbonic Art... three album all of them have 100%
Their music is not bad, but perfect? Hardly... reminds me on the Stielas Storhet review I saw today (90% ... for what?).

Is anybody in the mood to adjust the scores a bit?

I'd only rate their earliest stuff with a rating above the 90s, but I'm too burnt out for their other stuff right now

Can someone review anything from this band?

Let me hear the ridicule of this band. Please!

I can't wait to laugh my ass off.

I'm working on the first album, but the rest is too boring for me to download.

What the fuck, I had no idea they were even on here.

are searching, according to their website, for someone to review their music. I am not that into Gothic and the music that I heard is not somthing that pleases me ... or better said: I would have a lot to criticize and it would not be a nice review. See the one I had written for Andrarakh.

and I am also a little bit tired of reviewing bad produced music and to write harsh reviews... I wrote enough of this kind during the review-challenge.

I'm something of a bitchass, but please, somebody fill for Lugubrum. There are not too many reviews... And Oxbow require some writings too.

"Oh Lord, how we love you"?
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS crap FOR?????
But they have really lengthy songs.

Also too many undeservedly good reviews for DSO Si Monventvum Reqvires, Take A Shit, and Megiddo's The Devil And Paris Hilton.

Many bad albums are getting praise these days.

I still think the new Mayhem is the worst case.

And now someone even wrote a positive review for that shameless insult Forgotten Woods call their new album.
