5 out of 5 stars Killer album.......2005-09-05

Though you can get all but two songs on Turn to Stone, I still suggest whoever's a Pentagram fan to buy this album for the two that's not on Turn to Stone. One thing I love about this album it's the kind you just want to crank the **** out of it.

5/5 for good guitar, bass, drums and vocals.

4 out of 5 stars Special Herbs & Spices (beats & rhymes).......2006-07-14

Dope emcee dj/producer lp. Honestly I doubt Doom was with him while recording this psudo LP; because all of the beats are joints from other Doom projects or from Special Herbs. (Hence the title.) "Special Herbs & Spices" is mixing Doom's herbs with Grimm's "spices." Being the current state of Grimm and Doom's relationship, this is the closest product you're going to get for a long time.

Some of the tracks seem a little rushed with the rhymes... but I was told he freestyled a good portion of this. Other M.I.C. members make cameos along with Fat Man Scoop who psudo hosts the LP, which leads to the following questions.

Is it an album? A mix-tape? Don't know. It kind of falls inbetween the two as it's an entity of its own, but also a promotion for Grimm's triple LP "American Hunger."

If you're a HUGE Doom fan you might be dissapointed due to the metal faced villan not being on a single track and have hearing these beats before. But, if your a fan of Grimm and are looking for the closest thing to a colab LP outside of their split EP or Iblys... cop this joint.

1 out of 5 stars POOP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-11-12

THIS CD IS GARBAGE MF DOOM'S BEATS DOESN'T MATCH WITH MF GRIMM'S LYRICS THIS THE WORST MF DOOM CD IV'E EVER HEARD COSIDERING THAT ALL HIS CD'S I EVER HEARD ARE THE DOPEST SH?T EVER. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR DONT COP THIS CRAP

5 out of 5 stars A manic monday and a plate of gritty ol' meatloaf............2005-08-17

Actually, i am a big fan of "pheonix/lyrical landscapes" type of stuff.....M.F Grimm on the other hand is a tad simple and raw........But this album is a MUST HAVE when you are driving down the east coast concrete jungle.. we call our own... Yes,,, Doom's beats is what makes the album what it is. Grimm's previous work doesn't stand higher whatsover, and never will without the aid of Metal Face. It's just a fact, Percy's grim voice and Dumil's instrumentals go together perfectly and get the job done beautifully. I feel Grimm without Doom is like cake without the frosting..something missing..If you never heard him before.. Grimm is sorta like the underground version of Kool G Rap, but more slower yet effective with his punch like the Thing....I am not even going to get much into detail,,,,pretty much,,, check it out for yourself...The kid got voice and some good concepts...and Doom's beats backed em up to give em a high score! Nuff Said....

5 out of 5 stars Why Is Grimm So Slept On?.......2005-05-01

I'll keep it short and sweet. Ill beats by Doom. If you know anything about Grimm, you know he's been through some serious ish. The emotion is definitely present in his delivery and his flow is lethal. Grimm is the illest emcee the world has never heard of. Cop this and support Day By Day Entertainment and all of the unheard emcees and underrated producer/dj's (MF Doom, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Large Professor, Jay-Dee, Madlib, Marly Marl, Jazzy Jeff)that keep the underground alive.

5 out of 5 stars Great Duo.......2005-04-05

Grimm and Doom have been working together for years. This nice little package has Grimm rhyming over Doom's excellent production. MF Grimm's take on the older beats is new and refreshing. Pick this mix up and you won't be let down.

5 out of 5 stars The Best Doom/Death Album. Period........2006-11-11

As the title of this review states. And proclaim this to be true emphatically. What Katatonia achieve on this record with just guitars, bass and drums is nothing if not brilliant. The atmosphere is dark, gloomy and amazingly beautiful. My Dying Bride, Solitude Aeturnus and bands of that ilk are truly excellent, but BMD crushes them all. Mikael Akerfeldt's vocals are angry, sorrowful and brimming with despair. The guitars weave in and out with each other in complete pain. This music has a cathartic effect on me, which can be a good experience, in that, it helps to release the mental and emotional heaviness that we all feel from time to time. One of my top 10 albums of all time. Get this now!!

5 out of 5 stars Katatonia's finest moment. Hypnotic, emotional and beautiful!.......2006-08-01

This is it. It's Katatonia's finest moment in what is a fantastic musical career. I think it's the album where they really found their perfect sound and clicked as a band. Everything the band released previously, while very good, had moments of awkwardness and imperfection. Everything they've released since, while fairly incomparable due to its difference in style (the "Sounds of Decay" EP excluded) simply cannot match this album for emotional depth and exquisite beauty.

Every time I put "Brave Murder Day" on it captivates me. The band utilizes minor keys consistently to grasp at my emotions and beautiful harmonies that make me feel like weeping with happiness. They use hypnotic repetitious themes to get under my skin, and then various interludes and slight changeups to hold me in a state of trance-like rapture.

Blackheim and Fredrik's guitar work is absolutely awesome. Their mid paced riffing and lead work is what makes "Brave Murder Day" work so astoundingly well. They manage to create an extremely dark and desperate mood, without ever plodding into boredom territory. Borrowing Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth for vocal duties, whom I consider to be one of metal's best vocalists, only adds to the brilliance with his tortured guttural outbursts taking their previous sound to a totally new level. Jonas' drumming deserves mention also. While he never reaches high levels of technicality, he proves that less is more when it comes to death / doom metal, adding minor double bass sections and cymbal variances regularly, yet at all the right times to be effective.

If you have even the slightest tendencies towards doomy death metal, then "Brave Murder Day" is a completely essential album, sitting at the very top of the genre alongside My Dying Bride and Saturnus. It also stands as one of my very favourite albums of any genre...ever! Future Katatonia albums would travel a different path (one less aggressive, yet still filled with loss and despair), which I can only see as a fairly decent decision, as it would be futile to even attempt to make a better album in this style than "Brave Murder Day".

5 out of 5 stars Might just be my favourite album of all time.......2006-04-18

Brave Murder Day is fourty near-perfect minutes painfully slow, plodding doom/death metal that invokes feelings of emptiness, loneliness and sadness, and yet, throughout the entire album, maintains a sense of optimism.

The first track, "Brave," is an epic, ten minute peice that must be the most accomplished song on the album. It cycles through riffs in an almost orchestral way and is practically hypnotic. For ten minutes it draws you in and does not let go. Another personal favourite of mine is the haunting ballad, "Day," which may just be one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It's lonely and dark, and certainly the most emotionally affecting song that Katatonia has ever released.

5 out of 5 stars The indisputable Katatonia masterpiece.......2006-04-06

Some fans were extremely disappointed after Katatonia decided to explore more alternative yet equally dark areas after releasing the Sounds of Decay EP (which was basically the counterpart of Brave Murder Day). I personally believe after creating a masterpiece like this, there was nothing left for them to achive in this genre, so they decided to pursue more depressing music with all clean vocals, distinguishing themselves from hundreds of other bands. It would be best to think of Katatonia in two phases: their earlier doom-death period with albums like Dance of December Souls and Brave Murder Day as well as several EPs, and their more recent starting with the release of Discouraged Ones. Both eras of the bands are amazing, though I feel Brave Murder Day will always remain as most people's number one album.

For their second full-length album, the band decided to enlist the help of their friend Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth to do the vocals, since Jonas Renkse was unable to produce any harsh vocals at the time. I've always argued that Brave Murder Day contains Mikael Akerfeldt's best vocal peformance (outside Opeth that is), as he's never sung with so much pain and emotion before or after. He sure has improved a lot over the years, both as a growler and clean singer, but his vocals on this album are unparalleled.

The album starts with the 10-minute "Brave", perhaps the most definitive Brave Murder Day song. Grey guitar lines slowly dissolve during tense, mournful passages thanks to the distant, simple production of Opeth's and Katatonia's earlier producer Dan Swano. The whole album is laced with repeated key themes, which show little variation on the following songs, giving the impression that they are just parts of a huge composition a la Edge of Sanity's Crimson (also featuring Mikael Akerfeldt as a guest). The growls on the piece are low and sound extremely tortured, climaxing during the line that says, "Wherever you are I am not". That is possibly Mikael Akerfeldt's longest and most emotional scream ever recorded. Add to this Blackheim's haunting guitar melody that keeps churning forever. Thus, a doom-death metal masterpiece is complete. "Murder" is perhaps the most simple cut on the album. Only half as long, slowly strummed guitar chords and a repetitive melody bring the piece an added clarity while Akerfeldt delivers the lyrics with utmost conviction.

"Day" features Jonas Renkse's clean voice from start to finish. Since Renkse played the drums on Brave Murder Day, they decided to use a static drum machine for this particular song. The guitars are repetitive in a hypnotic fashion. Granted Renkse has come a long way as singer over the last years (particularly from Last Fair Deal Gone Down onwards), his vocals on this track are very emotive and the "Let's stay here for a while" chorus is infectious. On the final track "Endtime", Renkse and Akerfeldt sing together, with Akerfeldt doing the growls (do I have to repeat you've never heard him growl like this before?) and Renkse the clean vocals. Mostly acoustic, the song bears effective guitar waves and a solemn, gloomy pace. On the other hand, "Rainroom" has a nice yet dark acoustic interlude and a very powerful guitar theme. "12" is the album's most progressive number, and in many ways similar to the first two Opeth albums, particularly Morningrise. The Dan Swano influence is impossible to overlook here, as the songs goes through several movements, ignoring any conventional songwriting formulas. The intro of this song is simply fantastic: utterly dark, it even destroys the smallest glimpse of hope. Huge, cascading doom riffs explode only to reinvent themselves with ever-changing chord progressions (though it's all done so subtly that you may not understand anything upon first listen).

If you get the re-release of Brave Murder Day, you'll also hear the For Funerals to Come EP, consisting of four tracks, featuring original singer Jonas Renkse. This is a great EP with some great songs, but Renkse's harsh vocals simply pale in comparison to Akerfeldt's, both on this album and its successor: the Sounds of Decay EP.

All in all, this album is easily a milestone in doom-death and quite possibly the favourite album of most Katatonia fans.

5 out of 5 stars Opeth meets The Cure... emphasis on Opeth on this album...........2006-03-13

First heard Katatonia in late 97 after this came out in the U.S. for the first time shortly after I first heard Opeth, and wanted it cause it had Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth, also Bloodbath) contributing the death vocals to go with Jonas doing clean vocals for the first time. A transitional release between Dance... and Discouraged Ones, this is still the first of many classics, with everything from from the beautiful acoustic "Day" to the more brutal but equally great "Rainroom" and "Endtime." A must for newer Katatonia listeners to check out. Go Sweden... again.

Originally released in 1996, this was Swedish Metal monsters Katatonia's sophomore album and proved to be their breakthrough.

Album Details

Undoubtedly their Breakthrough Album, Originally Released Way Back in 1996, 'brave Murder Day' is as Fresh Today as it was Then. The Primitive Structures and Melodies Give this Album an Unparalleled Trance-like Quality, by Taking a Strong Early Paradise Lost Influence and Forming a Completely Unique Sound. The Majority of the Vocal Duties, in a More Guttural Death Metal Style, were Carried Out by a Certain Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth, While Jonas Renkse Delivered the More Touching Heartfelt Vocals that He is Re-known for Today on the Ethereal Track 'day' (Also Showing their Influence by Non-metal Acts Such as the Cure), as Well as Playing Drums on the Album. 'brave Murder Day' was Recorded at Unisound, Sweden, in July 1996, and was Engineered by Dan Swano (Marduk, Dark Funeral, Dissection).

Note : When "Brave Murder Day" was originally released, it surprisingly had not been mastered at all. It has finally been mastered for this 2006 digipak version and while it's not hugely different sounding, the result is a positive one. As a bonus, it also contains the three tracks off the "Sounds of Decay" EP. It's suitable to find these tracks alongside "Brave Murder Day" as they contain a very similar sound and also include Mikael Akerfeldt on vocals. If you don't own either of these releases, then I suggest you snap this up immediately. If you own "Brave Murder Day" already but not "Sounds of Decay", then I suggest getting the "Brave Yester Days" compilation instead which contains all three tracks plus a whole bunch more.

    More from Finland-Ville Valo must be proud!,Another H.I.M soundalike that pulls it off-Gothic Love-metal at it's best-Crimson leaf stands out as my favorite but "my rain"-is very catchy-more melodic romance from Finland these guys are more about love's lost then romance-if you like H.I.M -get this as well!

    5 out of 5 stars Finnish brilliance.......2006-08-24

    Melodic metal and Finland seem to be the perfect mix these days and this CD is no exception. I bought it because I loved the cover art, and the clips sounded good on Amazon. The band features some acoustic guitar, piano and even violin on one track but these instruments do not dominate the mix. The melodic sound recalls my next favourite finnnish band To/Die/For but the 80's keyboard sound is replaced here with a more metal guitar sound. But still the melodic songwriting shines through, so if you are a To/Die/For fan you should love this. I eagerly await a follow up album from these guys. 10 tracks @ 47.49

      I heard of this cat when MF Doom dropped his first album. Rodan is so complex with his lyrics and flow. I copped this album when it first came out in 2004. Definetly a classic. X-Ray has hooked up theses beats superbly. The beats are massively ill. You can't really get realer than this. The intro starts out with an excert from the movie with Elias Koteas speaking then Rodan comes in spitting light speed saying that he's the angel of death and you are at the end. No snakes alive part 2 is phat. Erotic Peaks is funny at the same time serious poeticly. The wilderness I think is one of the tightest songs on this album. The whole album is really tight. Every song. Don't listen to that geek "sailorkid 76" at the very first review. Read my lips............GET THIS ALBUM!!!

      If you listen to some stupid "indie" rock or whatever then don't even bother with Rodan

      he wouldn't make sence to you

      for those of you that appreciate quality hip hop

      let me excuse this reviewer of which I speak

      for saying things that hold no real insight

      "a faker with no respect for the underground"

      is a good description of the person who said this of RODAN.

      RODAN

      is a REAL <-- rapper FROM <--- the UNDERGROUND <-- hip-hop scene

      of a stagnated NYC...!!!!!!!!! M.I.C. 4ever....!!!!!!!!

      BY THE TIME IT'S OVER NO SNAKES ALIVE

      5 out of 5 stars the best that monsta island has to offer..........2006-02-18

      well almost...this is a classic release without a doubt...insightful lyrics and dope beats, what you would expect from a monsta island czar...5 stars without a doubt, however, megalon's a penny for your thought is slightly better in my opinion, which should say something...peace.

      This is a pretty good album but don't listen to Sailorkid 76. If he'd bothered to check out any of the background info about Rodan and Monsta Island Czars he'd know that they take their names from the monsters in the Toho Godzilla movies (King Geedorah, Megalon, Jet Jaguar, King Caesar, et al) and they use samples from a lot of those movies. I don't think a hip hop crew from Long Island is going to know about a band with one album and 7" from Louisville before they go choosing their names and it's not a terribly original name anyways.

      YUR, No need to get into the details, but if your down with doom or Grimm then you should check out thier crew the Monster Island Czars, they are dope . Rodan(of M.I.C.) follows through with a HOT ALBUM,HOT LYRICS and some pretty DOPE BEATS.
