 Blessed Is The Black - The Coven
Newest Review: ... treble-heavy tone comparable to early black metal. The atmosphere is convincingly evil and depraved despite the intentionally ... more  ... ludicrous lyrics, and the band clearly has its precedent in the dark side of eighties metal from the likes of Venom and Slayer, without going too far into the Scandinavian scene.
Songs such as the title track and 'The Monger' verge on an early speed metal style similar to many German bands at the time, 'Burn the Cross' smells distinctly of Black Sabbath gloom, 'Rock This Church' and 'Iron Dick' both have a more commercial hard rock vibe (though the chances of either being released as a radio-friendly single are ...more |

Heavy metal has always been a genre that lends itself well to parody, as the success of the well-intentioned 'This Is Spinal Tap' and the Comic Strip's 'Bad News Tour' memorably demonstrated in the early eighties, and it's always gratifying to hear a band having fun with a genre that shouldn't be taken too seriously, while at the same time concentrating on producing genuinely credible music. Seattle thrash band Coven were never one of the high fliers, but their debut album 'Blessed is the Black' is a treat for fans of eighties metal of varying styles, loyally and creatively paying homage to various sub-genres while also drawing attention to their silly side, ...

Classic heavy metal. 
Perhaps unbearably corny. Some great modern progressive thrash. Sounds exactly the same as Nevermore. More of the same, if you liked the last one. More of the same, which is disappointing. Plenty of good songs Not the most varied album in the world Fiercely aggressive, intelligent lyrics May offend sensibilities of certain people An excellent rock album, fantastic from start to finish. Some may be put off by the musical change in direction that Avenged Sevenfold took here.Below The Lights - Enslaved
Band still continues to evolve. Cluttered and chaotic, loses the folk elements.
Unorthodox - Edge Of Sanity
Experimental death metal, foreshadowing major sub-genres. Overlong.
Purgatory Afterglow - Edge Of Sanity
Approachable death metal. Too many weak songs and failed attempts to combine genres.
Crimson Ii - Edge Of Sanity
If you liked the first one, you'll probably enjoy this too. Re-treads old ground, and doesn't have its predecessor's charm or talent.
Infernal - Edge Of Sanity
A couple of enjoyable death metal songs, retaining some progressive elements. Weak attempts to return to the old-school, and lazy performance.
A Pleasant Shade Of Grey - Fates Warning
Admirable ambition. Boring, with very few interesting ideas.
Perfect Sym - Fates Warning
Pioneering progressive metal with a distinctive approach. Too many slow songs try my patience.
Awaken The Guardian (cd+dvd) - Fates Warning
Pioneering progressive metal. Rather samey.
Quimbombó
One or two good tracks Voice is not strong
Ilgi - Kaza Kepa Debesis
Quite good vocals Too slow
