Sadus: A vision of misery
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Third album in chronological order for the Californian band; and it's their best work released in 1992. A finally perfect production highlights a sound made of technically impeccable Death Metal, with Thrash accelerations that make the tracks devastating, on the brink of a nervous breakdown; a work of the individual musicians that knows no pauses, always in search of executive violence, with an additional note of merit for bassist Steve DiGiorgio...Sadici...

    I have to admit that in the genre, you are a top-notch connoisseur, compliments. You remind me a lot of a schoolmate of mine, who must have had a thousand albums of that genre and always brought one to class to listen to during economics; one headphone for him, one for me, and down we went into metal... I’m not an expert in the genre, I prefer other things, but the few things I know, I learned from him, and now from you, brau.

    I don't know if you know the band, famous also for having that prodigy named Steve DiGiorgio on bass; they had a speed of execution that always shocked me: they always seemed on the verge of "derailing" given how they were launched at full speed. Yet they managed to pull through, finishing songs that literally tore you apart; I regret not having been able to see them live.

Sausage: Riddles Are Abound Tonight
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
We are in 1994, twenty years have already passed: Les Claypool gives free rein to his musical nature, calling Todd Hutt on guitar and Jay Lane on drums. This is how the trio that represented the birth of Primus, about a decade earlier, is reformed; calling this record masterful is, for me, far too easy. And it’s Les's fluid bass and Todd's frantic guitar that open "Prelude to Fear," kicking off an album complicated in its skewed progression, but crazy and hypnotic...
Scorn: Vae Solis
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
After contributing to the creation of Grindcore with the first part of "Scum" in Napalm Death, Mick Harris and Nick Bullen found themselves in the early nineties setting up the chilling creature Scorn. Nightmare Post-Grind; the first album Vae Solis is a journey, a fall into the vastness of dark hells spanning 75 minutes filled with suffocating industrial noise, samples, and stunning Ambient passages. The uninterrupted listening experience remains shocking even today. No peace, towards nothingness, towards the destruction of the human mind; it’s the 8 minutes of "On Ice" (a rather explicit title) that stands out as the most effective (s)brano, describing the unique approach of the English duo to sound material. They would never be able to replicate such chilling relentlessness again... SUCK AND EAT YOU...
Sepultura: Roots
Vinile I have it ★★★★
The vinyl is spinning now on my faithful system; for years it had been left aside. It's not a bad record, that's why I gave it four stars; but I much prefer the three previous works, which are much more Thrash, fast, compact in the sonic violence proposed. Too contaminated, too tribal, too, so to speak, beyond; "Dictatorshit" is a gunshot, "Roots Bloody Roots" impressed live in terms of impact, yet for me it's not a masterpiece...CUT-THROAT...
  • Pinhead
    7 jan 15
    Here's the only thing I know (and tolerate) in the metal field: the scream "roots bloody roots." If I like it too, it must be a masterpiece, indeed.
  • De...Marga...

    You speak well of the song you mention; I still remember the two times I saw the band, still with Max screaming. But you don’t know the pinhead no more?

    Pinhead No More is more than a brother to me :-)
  • Psychopathia
    7 jan 15
    I like it precisely because it's contaminated and tribal. I listen to it rarely but with great pleasure; I have the limited double version that came out in '96 on CD. The other albums that you usually mention are all great, but since I'm not a true metal aficionado, this one is special to me.
Sepultura: Against
CD Audio I have it ★
The internal feud left a deep mark: Max leaves the group, leaving what remains of Sepultura in very troubled waters. An album I bought upon its release with a lot of perplexity and doubt; a quick listen was enough for me to understand two things: 1) album to sell as soon as possible (which I eventually did); 2) the band has no reason to exist anymore, at least as far as I'm concerned. I don't even remember the title of a single song, given such emptiness.
  • Psychopathia
    13 jan 15
    a little better than the nation of 2002. the year after they did worse, then I stopped buying them. and let’s be honest: derrick green, as good as he is, what the hell does he have to do with sepultura? much better (a lot) soulfly.
  • De...Marga...
    13 jan 15
    You took a brief but perfect exam; for me, Max was Sepultura. They could have started again with another name and perhaps I would still have appreciated them. Goodbye, dear.
November 1986: the first work by Sepultura on long distance is released. A production and recording quality that is dismal ruin an already crude and rough album; and it's a shame because the four very young guys, Igor has just turned 16 and the others are just a bit older, propose a Thrash-Death played without any technique, at a speed that is simply insane. The beginning of a climb toward the peaks of Heavy Music… CRUCIFIXION…
  • Marco Orsi
    15 jan 15
    I really don't like it. One question: how many times have you seen Sepultura live with the original lineup?
  • De...Marga...
    15 jan 15
    Hi Marco; I don't particularly like the album either. It almost makes me feel nostalgic to hear Max's "big voice" considering he was only 17 years old at the time of the recordings!!! I saw Sepultura in their classic lineup twice in 92-93. The second time was for the Chaos A.D. tour in Milan, with the then extremely heavy Paradise Lost opening; I still remember the terrifying pogo under the stage when they played their most devastating tracks.
  • Marco Orsi

    Well... "Show Me The Wrath", "Troops Of Doom", "Mayhem"... I really like it (as a debut of a death band recorded in a manhole)...
  • De...Marga...
    15 jan 15
    @JURIX: as a debut, keeping in mind the age of the guys, it's really not bad at all. I then have to compare it with the subsequent albums starting from "Beneath The Remains," and that's what justifies my rating. Hello dear.
Sepultura: Chaos A.D.
Vinile I have it ★★★★★
A challenging task awaits the band: to deliver a worthy follow-up to the impetuous and violent albums "Arise" and "Beneath The Remains". From my perspective, the result is the Brazilian group's third masterpiece; we are still in the realm of imposing Thrash Metal, with the added element of a greater sonic exploration. Tracks that are more measured, with a slowed-down pace, yet without losing the auditory ferocity that Max's voice amplifies...WAR FOR TERRITORY...
Sepultura: Arise
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
We are in the early nineties, and Brazilian boys are bringing forth their best album in terms of executive tightness, sonic violence, and finally, solid production. It's the brief title track that ominously opens an album that oozes power and malice at every moment, thanks also to immensely explosive songs like "Dead Embryonic Cells" and the closing "Infected Voice"; a terrifying wall of sound that will remain forever unmatched... WE SHALL ARISE...
Sepultura: Beneath the Remains
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
It’s the hands of Scott Burns that produce and guide the still young Brazilians for their third album in 1989. Finally, the sound is worthy of the name: it amplifies and enhances a deadly work, which consecrates them as one of the most uncompromising, brutal, and fast bands on the planet. An acoustic arpeggio, reminiscent of "Battery" by Metallica, opens the album and the title track, bursting immediately into a hyper-violent wild Thrash-Death; then comes "Inner Self." We're just getting started...

    I've never bought the previous albums, but I've always heard mixed opinions about them... are they really that bad?
  • De...Marga...
    8 jan 15
    Before this album, Sepultura released "Morbid Visions" in 1986 and "Schizophrenia" in 1987; albums marred by a production that can only be described as mediocre, particularly the "satanic" first album in terms of lyrics. Keep in mind that Max was born in 1969 and Igor in 1970!!! They were very pissed-off teenagers.
Sepultura: Schizophrenia
Vinile I have it ★★★
The Brazilians are starting to look far ahead with their second album; they have clear ideas about where they want to take their sound, which consists of raw and super-fast Death-Thrash. There are explosive tracks like "Escape To The Void" and "To The Wall"; there are also two pieces that are purely instrumental. However, a still lacking production, with a muddy, confusing, and chaotic sound, spoils the work of Max and his companions...THE ABYSS...
Six Feet Under: Warpath
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
1997. The group of Chris Barnes and Allen West, known for their work in Cannibal Corpse and Obituary, reaches the milestone of their second album. A work that follows the murky path started two years prior, through twelve songs where Death Metal takes on a mutating form, with slowed-down tempos that give the tracks a gloomy, emaciated, terrifying appearance: the opener "War is Coming" and the subsequent "Death or Glory" and "Revenge of the Zombie" are stunning... Terrifying...

Slayer: Decade Of Aggression - Live
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
There are countless live albums that impress with their power, but none can compete with the sonic violence, brutal impact, and expressive ferocity that come from listening to this double album by SLAYER, captured at the peak of a career that has known no "melodic" concessions. "Hell Awaits" is the primal scream that opens the live set, followed by "War Ensemble," "South Of Heaven," "Raining Blood," "Angel Of Death," and a concluding "Chemical Warfare" for the few survivors.
Slayer: Hell Awaits
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Spring of 1985, Slayer devastates the music market with their second monumental album that has nothing spring-like about it. And I have no doubt when I say it’s one of their best works, a sonic assault that leaves no survivors right from the hellish cover; the luciferian intro of the title track opens the macabre ritual, leading to an explosion of unprecedented ferocity driven by Dave's terrifying drumming and the killer, hyper-fast riffs of Jeff and Kerry. And we’re at the first track...SATANICI...

Slayer: War At The Warfield
DVD Video I have it ★★★★★
It's December 7, 2001: Slayer filmed live at the "Warfield Auditorium", San Francisco, California. And once again they sweep everything away!!! There is no comparison, no band can hold a candle to the enormous Luciferian charge of their sound: the venue is invaded by an incredibly violent Music, and the walls drip with sweat and blood for the entire duration of the sermon. The final triad "Chemical Warfare," "South Of Heaven," and "Angel Of Death" .....GOD HATES US ALL...Real fear.
Slayer: South of heaven
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Slayer close the eighties with a disk that is a perverse, wicked masterpiece. The album opens with the riff of the title track (a boulder-like song that leaves no escape live), featuring more intricate and slowed-down arrangements but always dense with that evilness that is their absolute hallmark. With the subsequent "Silent Scream," unheard-of violence and speed become the stars again: a fray of sounds punctuated by the razor-sharp notes of Kerry and Jeff’s six strings and the drumming of Dave... SPILL THE BLOOD...
  • Il Ninho

    Mandatory Suicide and the title track are the highlights of this album (which I still find less successful than Reign and Season). The cover of Dissident Aggressor by the Priests is also great; for me, this version by the Californians is better than the original :)
Slayer: Reign in blood
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Everything has been said, everything has been written about this Slayer album; it may have even been surpassed in sonic violence by other bands and genres. But one thing for me will never be matched by anything or anyone: Tom Araya's scream at the beginning of "Angel of Death." It lasts about seven or eight seconds, but it always carries that diabolical effect that sweeps away any attempt at imitation; right after, Dave Lombardo's drums crash in and announce the sonic Apocalypse.

    Here’s the right way to appreciate the music of the immense Slayer!!! Nearly thirty years since its release, it remains one of the most violent albums ever conceived, in less than thirty minutes of duration. Perfect.

    But of course, fugitive, by the hundreds (I'm randomly thinking of any of the Napalm Death). What I personally find unbeatable is the initial scream of Angel Of Death, which was impressive live.
  • leccaculati
    21 apr 14
    This album is from 1986, the beginning of the flashy period in the fashion of "I hit harder, I scream louder." Slayer = Show No Mercy; coincidentally, Metallica changed their style after 1986.
  • De...Marga...
    21 apr 14
    But I would also add Hell Awaits; as far as the gimmicks go, let's leave those to other bands, because Slayer, up until their last album in 2009, have shown a consistency that not everyone possesses; certainly their most brutal and evil period can be considered that of the eighties. Thank you for stopping by for my definition.
Slayer: Show No Mercy
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
December 1983: Slayer bursts onto the music scene with an album that will lay the groundwork for the birth and spread of Thrash Metal. Raw production, essential technique: it takes little for the four Californians to create a violent, obsessive, satanic album. "The Antichrist," "Black Magic," and "Die by the Sword" are the first mind-blowing songs that are still played today in their devastating concerts. After all, SATAN LAUGHS AS YOU ETERNALLY ROT.
Slayer: Seasons In The Abyss
Vinile I have it ★★★★★
The early nineties began for Slayer; the fifth album chronologically opens with one of the most violent, ferocious tracks that best represents their immense musical approach: "War Ensemble" is its title. It’s the killer guitar duo of Hanneman/King that sets the frenzied rhythms, accompanied by Lombardo’s habitually hyper-fast drumming supporting Araya's raw vocals; live, one of their colossal showstoppers. And we’re just at the first song...SPIRIT IN BLACK...

    DeMa, a straightforward answer. The best Slayer in thirty years of career, just give me a title. I only know their career superficially, and I want your opinion as a connoisseur and expert; who knows, maybe one day I'll buy one..
  • De...Marga...
    27 dec 14
    Hi Simone; you're asking me for an album by Slayer. The answer is all too easy: 1986 "Reign In Blood" with the initial apotheosis of "Angel Of Death." But let's say that up to the album that defines my current taste, they are all essential and worth appreciating for their fierce execution, the terrifying lyrics, etc... etc... And they can be found at not very high prices; but if you want to experience even more "pleasure" from their destructive energy, then I recommend the double live album "Decade of Aggression" released in 1991, which captures the world tour of "Seasons In The Abyss." For me, live they will always remain NUMBER ONE for their violently aggressive approach, the Luciferian Music, and a mosh pit that was pure terror. And let me tell you, the good De...Marga... who has often been crushed under the stage!!!!...HELL AWAITS...
  • hjhhjij
    27 dec 14
    "Reign in Blood" is a blast. I've reassessed them thanks to their nods to Hardcore. They're a lot of fun and give a great energy, but let's say they're not the band of my life :)

    Thank you Lorenzo, as you well know thrash isn't my favorite genre, but since I recently found them at a very low cost in a new store in Cuneo, I might as well try one out, so let’s go for the “regno in sangue” then. Thanks, and have a good evening. I read that it's snowing where you are; if God wills, nothing here, but in return, it's freezing cold. Best regards.
  • De...Marga...
    27 dec 14
    So let yourself be enveloped by the haunting sound of "Reign In Blood": just 29 minutes, but every now and then, often I must listen to it. And you know what? All the most violent Metal Music relaxes me!!! In my opinion, once you get past the initial "difficult" moment, you’ll find it interesting; I conclude by advising you to focus your attention on the first track, especially when Tom Araya starts a scream that still, decades later, gives me chills and not from love!!! And I also apologize to Vanessa, who might not appreciate my last musical advice... Alegar and it’s cold here too: just a few centimeters of snow.

Slint: Spiderland
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
I posted it and listened again today (I've lost count of how many times I've done it since 1991). And once again, I literally lost myself in a sound that recedes, lowering the volume; soft, insubstantial, cathartic. The rhythm slows down, everything comes to a halt, there are no sharp edges. Fast forward decades now; and the distances that separated us from Spiderland at the time of its release were centuries. A watershed work, just like Nirvana's Nevermind, also crafted in 1991. Both are absolute masterpieces. It's hard to choose the best among these personal monuments. Immense, eternal, unforgettable Slint...WASHER...
Sophia: The Infinite Circle
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Second album by Sophia; and for me, it’s one of their best works. Songs that wrap you in spirals of uncommon sweetness: a succession of moments that are never so intimate, acoustic, precious, unique; Robin's voice is, as always, able to leave you speechless, an infinite circle of sweet sadness, yet with a hope that does not abandon you until the notes of "The River Song," where, in a crescendo of intensity, the imposing and unforgettable image of God Machine appears in the distance.
  • tia

    Maybe I prefer the first one and I think I know why... since back then I eagerly awaited that album as a continuation of GodMachine... The river song is vigorous, captivating, and has a strong impact; live, it grabs you, and it’s like a swipe from GodMachine that scratches and leaves a mark... By the way, have you ever heard of the May Queens?? It was a band formed again by Robin, with some friends from Flower Shop Recordings involved in Ligament and Elevate... I think I found something of GodMachine in some of their tracks... I’ll listen to it again tomorrow...

    Hi aunt; I was indeed aware of this Robin's project, although I have never, culpably, delved into it. At this point, I feel it is my duty to commit to filling this gap; however, the first two albums by Sophia are works of a beauty that devastates you deeply on an emotional level, and their listening is very often repeated in my home and beyond.
Sophia: People Are Like Seasons
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
I had to wait six years to listen to a new collection of songs from Sophia; but the long pause has been rewarded with a splendid album, as only Robin can deliver. A record that from the very cover evokes the monumental God Machine, featuring a sequence of tracks of boundless beauty, leaving me emotionally overwhelmed, yet happy: "Oh My Love," "Swept Back," "I Left You," and a final, disarming track in its simplicity, "Another Trauma"...Universal.

It’s the live dimension that allows Robin and his band to convey all those intense and unique sensations, clearly perceptible in the harmonious flow of the songs contained within the album.

The latest album by Sophia, the band of Robin Proper-Sheppard, dates back to 2009; and listening to it is indeed a supreme and rightful pleasure for those who have loved and still love the musical poetry of a band that has made simplicity in execution one of its core elements.

Stunning cover: a dark, treacherous, mysterious sea dominated by a sky that heralds the arrival of a storm. Yet on the horizon, a light appears, a glow with a redemptive flavor that brings hope, much like the solemn Music contained in the fourth work of Sophia, led by the wonderful narrative flow of Robin. I need only to mention the instrumental track that opens the collection, with its intimately acoustic beginning that grows in intensity, leaving me once again alone, bare...happy...
Sophia: Fixed Water

The death of my friend and companion Jimmy is behind us, but it cannot be forgotten; and Robin's music with the first work of Sophia starts again from the intimate, painful sound, at times melancholic, that characterized the last chapter of God Machine. A music that mostly flows acoustically, leaving a door ajar towards the hope of still being able to amaze and deliver those emotions that only Robin can offer us.....And listening to it is sweet for me in this sea...

Soundgarden: Badmotorfinger
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Reaching their third album, Soundgarden hits their creative peak: amid heavy metal, hard rock, hints of psychedelia, and hardcore-punk fury, the songs unfold in all their power, driven by Chris's voice and the perfect cohesion of all the instruments. "Rusty Cage," "Jesus Christ Pose," and especially "Slaves & Bulldozers" are true boulders of such heaviness that they leave you stunned upon listening. For me, this is their best album and one of the absolute peaks of the Seattle sound of the era.
  • Cunnuemammadua

    Remarkable album, a true turning point between the two phases of the band. For me, their peak is "Louder than Love."

    Nothing to say about the second album, which I own in original vinyl, more connected by guitar riffs and sounds to metal; and it is somewhat hindered for me by a mixing that could have been better. Anyway, Chris also shows here chilling vocal qualities and power.

    Think Hell that I saw them opening for Guns at the Stadio delle Alpi in Turin on June 27, 1992, the day of my 25th birthday. They played for barely half an hour with sounds of an obscene quality... and I was down for them.

    I guess vanilla was not reserved for Guns; to be honest, I didn't dislike the two Use Your Illusion albums, but then came the deepest abyss. What's your favorite song from the album? For me, it's Slaves & Bulldozers, which has an heaviness beyond any limit of endurance, and not just physical.
  • hjhhjij
    29 mar 14
    In addition to "Slaves & Bulldozers," my other standout tracks are the closing ones "Holy Water" and "New Damage," as well as, I’ll be cliché, "Rusty Cage." The thing is, this album doesn't have a single lesser track, so it's a question that seems a bit irrelevant to me. Just listen and enjoy. I like "Superunknown" a bit less due to its excessive length. The first two are really cool, while I should dig out the last one (the '96 one; I don’t even consider the reunion).
  • De...Marga...
    29 mar 14
    Finally, we’re back to talking about Music; this is a "bomb" album where everything is perfect, from the sound to the mixing, the vocals, etc. The first two albums leaned towards more traditionally metal sounds, although unfortunately the sound quality is not the best. As for the double Superunknown, the original double vinyl that I possess with fierce jealousy, I agree with you that it’s too long, although some songs are stunning. I've already expressed my opinion on King Animal when commenting on the work... and unfortunately, they aren't good words.
  • SilasLang
    29 mar 14
    I’ll tell you, this is perhaps what I like least about Soundgarden; since then it left me a bit like this... The cream of SG, for my taste, I find in albums like the beautiful first EP "Screaming Life," "Ultramega OK," and especially "Louder Than Love," which I think is my favorite of all. And well, "Superunknown," I mean, I've worn it out, even more... damn, that album is amazing too.
  • De...Marga...
    29 mar 14
    How can I go against Silas, a fine musical connoisseur and also a resident of a wonderful region? Certainly, personal tastes are not up for debate; the first two works are capable of sweeping away a good part of the fake metal of these years. The first EP is another solid punch in the face, short but intense.
Soundgarden: Louder Than Love
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
After the unparalleled "Badmotorfinger," this is my favorite work by Soundgarden; in the blessed year of 1989, they leave SST (a customary moment of silence in honor of the label) and settle at A&M for the heaviest album of their monumental first part of their career. The only downside is a mixing that certainly won’t go down in history; there are explosive sonic bombs like the initial "Ugly Truth" and "Hands All Over." The rest follows closely, with the pairing of Yamamoto and Cameron (bass and drums) providing a bastard and incisive rhythmic foundation that slices you in two. For the final demolition, voice—oh that voice...—and six strings take care of it; but how cool was Chris on the cover, God Bon!?!...LOUD LOVE...

    A collection of fantastic monoliths...third in my personal ranking, after Superunknown and Badmotorfinger.
  • After the incomparable "Louder Than Love," "Badmotorfinger" is the second album I favor from Soundgarden. So, just to put my two cents in. Even though no one asked me.

    And what do you think of the "armed" debut Ultramega OK smashing smash cars??
  • After the incomparable "Louder Than Love" and "Badmotorfinger," "Ultramega Ok" is the third work I prefer by Soundgarden. UH!

    Oh, that's what I like the most. Great record.

CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
After two albums under his name, still accompanied by talented musicians, Bob formally returns to the trio "armed" in the vein of Husker Du; David Barbe on bass and Malcolm Travis on drums are his loyal allies. We're in the realm of excellent Power-Pop that explodes, detonating, in the obsessive and relentless "A Good Idea." But it's the sunny and carefree "I Can't Change Your Mind," which harkens back to the college rock of R.E.M. and Lemonheads, that stands out as the absolute gem of the album... A good, great idea Bob!!!...
