This is Marcus Karlssons Reviews of Black, Doom and Death Metal

Here is a few reviews of some of my Black and Doom metal albums in alphabetical order, most of them are good but I have also put in a few of the sucky albums so you can be warned. I must add that I am pretty weak when it comes too review stuff so I give the bands quite a high rating, but I wouldn't give a bad album a high grade. If you see a album rated 5, it's a VERY good album.


Rating system: I put in a rating system from
Stinks / Sucks
not very good
Just about average
A very good album
Get it or Die!

I also like some different kinds of music as well, like the dark medieval sounds of Mortiis and Wongraven. Or the Avantgardic touch of Equimanthorn. I also listen to the really psycho songs of Aghast and some of the old classical music like Grieg, Vivaldi and Beethoven. As you can see my musical taste is on the far extremities of music. I usually say that if they're not been dead for a hundred years or worship Satan, they'll suck. Usually that's right.

Here's some reviews of some of my none metal favorites
