Seventeen and incorrigible, the reviewer jigoro (actually named Carlo) comes from the quiet Venetian province of Vicenza, where he lives without too many problems.
His main activities are reading, studying, playing bass (his favorite instrument from the Time of Nights), eating, drinking, and reviewing records on DeBaser (which he discovered while searching online for news about Slayer).
A large part of his life is occupied by the terrible stereo resting next to his bed, which Carlo tortures terribly by inserting albums mainly of Heavy Metal (but also Jazz, Fusion...).
One day, the reviewer, wandering through the square of his city at the tender age of six, looking for something interesting, saw in the record store a cute cassette with a curious monster spewing drool from its mouth and labeled: "Iron Maiden: The Harder They Come". Interested, he bought it for the modest price of 6,500 old lire and, upon arriving home, listened to it until fainting (eeeddai exaggerating!!!).
Since that day, the boy developed an ever-growing passion for Metal, gradually evolving until, at the age of 13, he discovered a band that would (musically) change his life: the Death, from whom he bought the first CD, "Symbolic," attracted as usual by the cover.
