Candlemass -Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
The Candlemass of the '80s are a tremendous band, for many the true founders of doom, or rather those who defined its sounds and themes. A historical cornerstone! more
Arcturus -The Sham Mirrors
In my opinion, the masterpiece by Arcturus! Hallucinated vocals, cosmic sounds, a space symphony! more
Creed -Human Clay
There are plenty of nice songs, but maybe a bit too laid-back in some parts; I prefer the following, which is more personal and varied! more
Manowar -Sign Of The Hammer
I have to say that this album oozes epicness from every pore, but not the flashy and cheesy kind of many current bands, which are more power than epic. In short, it's a truly fascinating and primal CD, like Conan the Barbarian! more
Neurosis -the sun that never sets
This is indeed a group that says something new. Psychedelia, tribal rhythms, echoes of hardcore past, and a sadness that is never despair and that lets you glimpse the light at the end of the tunnel. more
Giant -time to burn
yet another masterpiece by the giants, for an album that leans more towards a certain arena and anthemic rock, compared to the debut which was more connected to hard rock. Here too, not a single song falls flat. Gorgeous! more
Journey -Infinity
In my opinion, the masterpiece of Journey. Dramatic, majestic, and with timeless songs like "Lights" and "Wheel in the Sky"! more
Journey -departure
I'm not crazy about this CD; in fact, it's not bad at all. On the contrary, the usual class and beautiful melodies are present here as well, but perhaps it lacks a bit of spontaneity and atmosphere! more
Magnum -wings of heaven
clearer production and a more crystalline sound compared to "on the storyteller's night". excellent melodies, great voice, among the fathers of pomp rock! more
Gustav Mahler -sinfonia numero 4
the first symphony of Mahler that I listened to. As usual, amazing! There is little to say in front of these giants of music! more
Gustav mahler -sinfonia numero 5
strange symphony and as always grand, perhaps Mahler's most famous composition, also due to the Adagietto used by Luchino Visconti in "Death in Venice." more
Gustav Mahler -das lied von der erde
on this composition words are wasted: poetry in music! more
Kansas -leftoverture
masterpiece! hard prog (for some art rock) at its highest levels. Magical atmospheres, unbeatable melodies! more
Kansas -point of know return
A step back from Leftoverture, but it's still a great album, with the usual beautiful songs! more
Masterplan -masterplan
finally a power group that is not just a simple clone and knows how to say something new. Nice! more
Darkthrone -a blaze in the northern sky
certainly among the best representatives of black metal. A historic album in the genre, featuring some of the most beautiful pieces that black metal has ever given us. more
Klimt 1918 -dopoguerra
this group has been a nice surprise. Beautiful rock, well played and with great melodies. In a just world, they would already be successful! Highly recommended! more
Destruction -the antichrist
For those who love pogoing and constantly banging their heads, this album is definitely made for them! Carini more
Giant -Last of the runaways
one of the peaks of all melodic hard rock. Unfortunately a cult band and little known yet better than many more prestigious names. Takes two and I'll see you in my dream exciting to the point of being sick! more
Asia -asia
Can pop, prog, and hard rock be fused? Certainly, and this captivating album proves it! more
