Finally finished up my review for Blood Fire Death. It's not accepted on M-A yet, but I did put it up on another site I'm now writing for, the True Metal Herald. I'm discipleofsteel, and the review's right at the top:

I think that thing I like about your reviews Enigmatick is that you type the way you talk (it might not be the same sort of language). Many reviews are written to be like a story book, which is fine but I like this way better because it's easier to figure out where the reviewer is comming from.

I've always been told I have a natural "conversational" vibe to the way I talk, but yeah, thanks I've tried to write one that's more "story-esque" before, and it just ends up sounding pretentious as all hell. I don't want to feel like I'm talking Down to the reader when I write.

I thought your review of Darkthrone's ABITNS was a bit over the top because you totally Forgot the influential aspect of it and how people viewed it back then (since there wasn't that much Black Metal at the time) but your review of Gallileous was nice.

It's also good to see this band mentioned once in a while.

For people that are curious, the Passio et Mors CD is available for the price of a pack of cigs on Pagan Records or even better on Redrum666.

After a long time in reviewing hibernation, I have just finished a review on Graveborne's album Pure Negativity... I must say, not bad, not bad at all (the album, not the review)

I'd just like to spam another album which I found to be worth a listen. Blaze of Perdition: The Hierophant I looked at this time.

I've been trying to improve my writing style lately; I've tried to change my structure, used more politically correct metal terminology and most importantly... spelling (although I cannot say that Its 100% correct ) Check it out and tell me what you think

Sounded professional to me man, nice work I like your style of writing along with your structure.  Easy to understand, yet still insightful

I just wrote a quick, little review for The Blackening from Machine Head.  It has not yet been validated, but I'll just paste it here haha.


"After the release of "Through The Ashes Of Empires" in 2004, Machine Head knew they had to create a worthy follow-up to their rebound album after the not-so-hot "Supercharger" from 2001.  This album was to be 2007's, "The Blackening".  What a ride this album is.  From start to finish, the album possesses high amounts of everything you look for in a metal record:  Killer thrash riffs, incredible solos, catchy melodies and choruses, etc.  And with the album clocking in around an hour, you are certainly to get your money's worth.  There are also certainly some epic moments on this album, with Two songs clocking in at over Ten minutes, these being "Clenching The Fists Of Dissent" and "A Farewell To Arms".  However, these tracks do not overstay their welcome or seem to drag along.  Throughout this hour long affair, the music is absolutely superb.  The guitar harmonies of Robb Flynn and Phil Demmel are a joy to hear, especially on the third track "Aesthetics Of Hate".  Drummer Dave McClain plays extremely well on this record, along with bassist Adam Duce.  Flynn's vocals are certainly well done; most of them being angry yells, but he does incorporate some melodic singing in some instances.  Overall, this album is an all out pummelfest.  If you enjoy any kind of metal, this needs to be in your collection."
