Yeah, a lot of Snxke's early reviews are crap. He was like a slightly less extreme PumpkinFlyFree at the time.

Dreaming Neon Black - 98%
Written by Iced_Demon on July 21st, 2002

This album rules. It's almost perfect...heavy guitars, good solos, strong drums, and great vocals. It's a concept album based on Warrel Dane's lost love...she left him for a religious group, and he never saw her again. He would have a recurring dream about her drowning in water.

Each song on this album is excellent. There are no weak points. The songs perfectly show the emotion and the anger that Warrel must have went through. Some of the songs aren't as heavy, like "Dreaming Neon Black" and "The Lotus Eaters", but they are still heavy in their own way. My favorite songs are "I Am the Dog" and "Poison Godmachine"...they are extremely heavy! They're the kind of songs that make you bang your head till your neck breaks off.

This is my favorite Nevermore album (so far...this I haven't heard the first two). It's got everything a metalhead wants.

What the hell happened ? - 56%
Written by PureEvil on May 20th, 2004

Before you read this rewiew you should know that I'm Iced Earth fan, but this album is BAD album from ICED EARTH. First of all this album contains only 2 good songs : Dante's Inferno and Burning Oasis, rest of the songs are nothing more than crap, nothing special and

where are the all KILLER riffs what were on Iced Earth's first album and Night of the stormrider?

Burnt Offerings has good chorus, but in the end it starts to get bit annoying ( The reason is maybe Barlow's vocals ).

Barlow's vocals fit on the slow and acoustic songs, but it was big mistake to choose him to sing in songs like Brainwashed or The Pierced Spirit.

Last December is maybe Iced Earth's worst song ever. It has so cheesy lyrics and these are the songs where Barlow's vocals really don't fit. ''Burning Oasis'' starts to sound like Iced Earth and is maybe the best song from this album, but after Burning Oasis starts again the 'nothing special'' songs. Dante's Inferno is great song, but it would be greater without Matthew Barlow again.
Burning Oasis and Dante's Inferno really save this album, but that isn't the only reason why I give 56 to this album. The all songs weren't bad!

they were just too same and boring!

+ and - from this album:

+ Burning Oasis
+ Dante's Inferno
+ Solos

- Matt Barlow
- guitar sound
- Lyrics

The album really could work with John Greely / Gene Adam.

After hearing 'Vintage whine' (which was pretty new when I got it) I was like "damn I gotta check out their next one" (this was like 3 years ago), not until now I pick up the damn thing.

And what can I say, it isn't the most shocking surprise musically, but the fact is that it is better than the album that made me like em. I can't put my finger on what they've improved, I guess better songwriting results in more highlights (duh!). Hell even the bonustrack, cover version of "Swords of a thousand men" is a killer!

An album that will make you wanna get to an irish pub and have a beer or ten.

Aye, both of those suck.

Only 3 days?! - 98%
Written by Dethrone_Tyranny on September 16th, 2003

Sheesh, I can't believe it took this band only 3 days to record this album even though it is generaly "sloppy and raw". As most metal heads already know, Venom aren't the greatest musicians musicaly but this album is so fuckin' godly that it's hard to believe that it only took them 3 days to record it. Not to mention that back then, everything was low budget for NWOBHM bands. This album takes the heavyness and speed of bands like Motorhead and Judas Priest, and slams it together with the satanic lyrics and image of Sabbath. I mean, what more can one crazy metal head ask for? This is not Venom's best work but it's their most godly album in every way, considering that no band had even thought of doing something so extreme at the time. Do not call yourself a metal head if you do not own this album.

Best songs: Sons Of Satan, Welcome To Hell, In League With Satan, Live Like And Angel (Die Like A Devil)

First Entombed CD, great stuff. - 90%
Written by Immolation on July 2nd, 2003

This is the first Entombed CD I've ever listened to, I don't know how good (or bad) their earlier stuff is, but this CD was amazing. From the start I liked Petrov's vocals, not really boring, and I wouldn't call them generic at all. Cederlund and Hellid are both good guitarists, the riffs on this albums were great. The aggressive-ness of some of the songs are great, "The Fix Is In" is probably my favorite, and notable mention to Descent into Inferno and Children of the Underworld. The only song I really didnt like was Incinerator, just sorta boring. Overall though, the drums weren't GREAT, they were mediocre and fit the music, but it seems like they could go better with the album. Definetely recommended to any metalheads, as I'm off to get more Entombed CDs.

this band is really fucking horrible - 15%
Written by Warriorofmoderndeath on January 11th, 2003

I really cant find a word to describe this band,they are probably one of the worst bands that I have ever heard or atleast close to it,they rank up there with the other bad bands such as In Flames and Soilwork,which completely suck as well and people go around making a big thing about their shitty ass boring music.
Now the only reason why this crap gets 15 is because the only good song on this shitty thing is "Cowboys from hell(live)" and that is Pantera's only half-way decent album,Walk is practically among the crappiest songs I ever heard..the riff is so damn annoying and the whole song is repetitive as hell and lets not forget the shitty attempt for a good solo by Dymebag Darrel or should I say "Diamond" Darrel.
The rest of the songs are mostly mixes,"By Demons Be Driven" is a shitty song in every way,the only good thing coming from this song is probably the little drumming finish in the end done by Vinnie Paul,but besides for Cowboys from hell(live) and that this piece of shit single should be use for target shooting.

What more can I say about this album that hasn't already been said? It's truly awesome, and in my opinion it's their best, with Follow The Reaper coming in at a close second. This album contains a lot of neoclassical influence and a little bit of black metal as well.

We start with Warheart. The spoken intro kicks ass! The riffing is awesome
and black metal influenced. The chorus is fucking great.

Next is Silent Night, Bodom Night. I absolutely love this song. The riffing
is great and the solo is one of the best on the album.

The title track, Hatebreeder, is next. This is one awesome song. The riffs
especially stand out here. The guitar/keyboard solo trade-off's at the end
are truly kick ass.

Bed Of Razors, again one of the best tracks on the album. Great melodies, riffing, and a wonderful guitar/keyboard solo.

Towards Dead End is next. This one's a bit more melodic and the intro contains one of the coolest melodies I've ever heard.

Black Widow is next. The song starts off with a very awesome sounding keyboard intro, and the riffing that follows kicks ass and the song is great. A very neoclassical feel to the song.

Wrath Within is another great song with more awesome riffing. This one is quite black metal influenced as well.

Children Of Bodom is next. This song completely kills. The intro riff is one of my favorite riffs ever. This song has a lot of neoclassical influence to it.

Downfall is last. The intro riff is also one of my favorite riffs ever. Very awesome. This song is the slowest paced on the album and a good closer.

Highly recommended.

Neoclassical influence, guitar solos and a bit of black metal. That is all we learn about the music apart from it "kicking ass", as stated about a gazillion times. Now how do these "neoclassical influences" sound like? Like Puissance perhaps? And the "bit of black metal"? You mean like Ildjarn or Mütiilation? And guitar solos? Like the one on Mayhem's "Freezing Moon" or Burzum's "Lost Wisdom"? A mixture of Puissance and Ildjarn with simple guitar solos? Sounds like an album I would love to hear!

http://www.metal-archives.com/review.php?id=58#21667

Agreed. Too many "kicks ass", not enough sound description.

That latest Follow the Reaper review is SHIT. It may be detailed, but it's SHIT, and I dislike it, and would like to state as such.

This is the first sentence that says anything about the music: specifically, that the riffs are different than those on the first two albums.

Quote: Burnt Offerings has good chorus, but in the end it starts to get bit annoying ( The reason is maybe Barlow's vocals ). Once again, nothing but "I like this, I don't like this." Quote: Barlow's vocals fit on the slow and acoustic songs, but it was big mistake to choose him to sing in songs like Brainwashed or The Pierced Spirit. That's funny, because he does not even mention 1. how Barlow's vocals sound, 2. what kind of songs Brainwashed and the Pierced Spirit are.

Quote: + and - from this album: + Burning Oasis + Dante's Inferno + Solos - Matt Barlow - guitar sound - Lyrics The album really could work with John Greely / Gene Adam. Once again, simply stating which parts of the album he likes. He does not go further to explain why Greely/Adam would be better. In conclusion, though the score given by this review is quite unique, the issues assessed in the review itself are mentioned by at least a third of the other reviews. Moreover, this one fails to describe the actual sound of the album. EDIT: I'll elaborate.

http://www.metal-archives.com/review.php?id=20655#23633 666 Salutes To NED!!! - 99% Written by Force_Fed2001 on December 15th, 2004 At The moment NED (Norma Evangelium Diaboli) is hands down, and appears to be the hottest black metal label in the underground right now as well with an impeccable roster boasting the likes of Katharsis (Ger) Watain (Swe) Deathspell Omega (Fr) and the black pheonix of them all the mighty Funeral Mist. although Salvation was last years release, I had no choice to include it to my collection. Sweden's Funeral Mist have existed since 93 yet aside 2 demos (Darkness & Havoc) and a ep (Devilry) it is only now that a proper full legnth has been unleashed. I can easily say that in no uncertain terms, Salvation is one of the most savage,sadistic,torturous,hateful,punishing,grim,truly evil and utterly devastating black metal releases ever!! The extreme level of passion,violence and destructive sincerity that blasts out of your speakers is just unbelievable. Capturing the aural essence of Hell,utter darkness, and evil arcane atmospheres is no easy feat, and to pull it off with such depravity and originality is almost unheard these days. By no means easily digestible. Salvation is as muli-layered, 9 headed -beast of a record. An all out assault on the sences. FM literally seems to attack you from the angles all at once,yet Salvation is a very diverse record loaded with many little elements and intricacies that I could fill in trying to describe. Arioch's vocals are awesome,not the typical screech, but the gutteral,commanding,demonic bark as he were actually demonized by the Devil him self. The drums are raging and bombastic, (reminiscent a cross over between Taake's "Nattestid Ser Porten Vid" and Gorgoroth's Under The Sign Of Hell). If you are willing to give Salvation the necessary time,there is so much to discover,the album is truly a musical journey into the deepest and darkest abyss. A Modern Day of De Mysteriis,Salvation is the black metal album by all others should be measured. aside from the latest Mayhem and Deathspell Omega albums, I doubt very much that a better more unique and innovative true blackmetal album anytime to soon.!!!!! Who the hell let this piece of crap through?

This album contains a lot of neoclassical influence and a little bit of black metal as well. We start with Warheart. The spoken intro kicks ass! The riffing is awesome and black metal influenced. The chorus is fucking great. Next is Silent Night, Bodom Night. I absolutely love this song. The riffing is great and the solo is one of the best on the album. The title track, Hatebreeder, is next. This is one awesome song. The riffs especially stand out here. The guitar/keyboard solo trade-off's at the end are truly kick ass. Bed Of Razors, again one of the best tracks on the album. Great melodies, riffing, and a wonderful guitar/keyboard solo. Towards Dead End is next. This one's a bit more melodic and the intro contains one of the coolest melodies I've ever heard. Black Widow is next. The song starts off with a very awesome sounding keyboard intro, and the riffing that follows kicks ass and the song is great. A very neoclassical feel to the song. Wrath Within is another great song with more awesome riffing. This one is quite black metal influenced as well. Children Of Bodom is next. This song completely kills. The intro riff is one of my favorite riffs ever. This song has a lot of neoclassical influence to it. Downfall is last. The intro riff is also one of my favorite riffs ever. Very awesome. This song is the slowest paced on the album and a good closer. Highly recommended. Neoclassical influence, guitar solos and a bit of black metal. That is all we learn about the music apart from it "kicking ass", as stated about a gazillion times. Now how do these "neoclassical influences" sound like? Like Puissance perhaps? And the "bit of black metal"? You mean like Ildjarn or Mütiilation? And guitar solos? Like the one on Mayhem's "Freezing Moon" or Burzum's "Lost Wisdom"? A mixture of Puissance and Ildjarn with simple guitar solos? Sounds like an album I would love to hear! http://www.metal-archives.com/review.php?id=58#21667

To get a review for fucking HATEBREEDER accepted you'd have to do REALLY good, certainly a whole lot better than that. Actually, that one shouldn't be accepted for ANY band IMO.

Agreed. Too many "kicks ass", not enough sound description.

That latest Follow the Reaper review is SHIT. It may be detailed, but it's SHIT, and I dislike it, and would like to state as such.
