Christian Death -Ashes
Literally consumed more
Luca Carboni -Luca Carboni
A beautiful album, a product of its time and of a restless generation that Carboni outlined with refinement and good pop taste. Songs like "La voglia di vivere," "Vieni a vivere con me," "Farfallina," and "Silvia lo sai" will go down in history, while tracks that seem weaker at first, like "Lungomare" or "Caro Gesù," are signs of definitive maturation, not only musically. more
Circulation of Events
One of the first tracks to feature a sequenced line. more
Tiziano Ferro -Alla Mia Età
Third work by the artist from Latina, the first not produced by the Salerno/Maionchi duo. The previous album ("Nessuno è solo") already sounded like a step back compared to the r&b that characterized the first two albums (Canova's production helped a lot), this one is an unbearable whining in which our guy tells us, through music, all his little and big existential dramas almost as if the audience were his psychiatrist. There’s Fossati ("Indietro"), there’s Battiato ("Il tempo stesso") but there’s (a lot) little substance, only the curious "La traversata dell'estate" and the big single "Il regalo più grande" save the album. Not much, Mr. Ferro. more
Marlene Kuntz -Catartica
One of the most beautiful Italian albums of the 90s. Definitely the best debut. more
The Cult -Love
Masterpiece of the 80s. more
Castrivenian
Born in 2024 in Brazil, Castrivenian immediately stood out for their raw and atmospheric black metal, imbued with vampiric, lycanthropic, and misanthropic themes. Their first full-length album, "Reborn from the Ashes," was released on July 6, 2025 via Onlyhate Propaganda in a super-limited edition (only 10 CD-R copies). more

Fabrizio De André -Anime Salve
To say, is it the most beautiful of De André after "Creuza de ma"? I vote yes. more
Subsonica -Microchip Emozionale
They go to Sanremo with "Tutti i miei sbagli" and suddenly, half of Italy knows them. Their second album soars in the charts thanks also to good quality and a very high rate of potential hits ("Colpo di pistola"; "Liberi tutti"; "Discolabirinto"), even though their manifesto (cultural and existential) is "Il mio DJ." Electronics at an excellent level, with contributions from Morgan, Daniele Silvestri, and DJ Coccoluto. more

Lacuna Coil -Karmacode
I love rock, but metal, well... That said, Lacuna Coil are hard rock, not metal (as some jokers dared to call them, no). This, and the previous "Comalies" (which opened the doors to American success for them, a feat achieved in Italy only by them, PFM, and Maneskin) are two solid albums. "Karmacode" is powerful and well played, with the downside that after a while all the songs start to sound the same (but tracks like "What I see", "Closer" or the big single "Our truth" are, I'd say, essential) with the final gem "Enjoy the silence," a cover that leaves a mark. But, it's better that they sing in English, the only Italian track, "Without fear," is a bit weak. A work designed for the American market, and it sold like crazy. To the detriment of those who wish them harm (and there are many, unfortunately). more
Banco del Mutuo soccorso -DARWIN
Although not a hardcore prog fan (in Italy I only really save PFM, more rock; some of Le Orme, and the first two Banco albums, I like the third less), "Darwin!" is certainly a masterpiece without shadows, with wonders scattered throughout side A ("L'evoluzione" has an endless series of instrumental variations on the theme) and a side B that is almost (I say almost) pop, with shorter and more immediate songs ("Cento occhi cento mani"; "750.000 anni fa... l'amore?"). In their creative den (a stable near Marino), Banco del Mutuo Soccorso wrote with this album a page of prog history (and beyond) that deserves everlasting glory. more
