Hi Carlino, thanks, here you won't be insulted. I wouldn't know if it still makes sense to play rock music, but honestly, I believe it does. It's hard to say WHICH rock to keep playing. I find metal to be a ridiculous genre, at least at a mass level, like Metallica and Iron Maiden, very much for impressionable people. Up to a certain age it makes sense, but I find it a bit strange to adore certain bands at 40. Keep going.

It's better to steal from those in need than to throw money at them in front of photographers. Charity in plain sight generates more oppression; it doesn't really motivate people to empty their pockets, just like that damn Live 8, an opportunity to say, "Look, I was there too, changing the world"... but just die.

and then we want half votes for the records!!!!

what a shame, three reviews published at the same time! they are like thetrooper! I hoped this would get rid of that one about primordial, but it's still there! thanks fallen. strange the stars, nice, maybe one day they will introduce half points for the albums.

Furthermore, I believe that the talents of both groups are very high, and that they have two truly charismatic individuals. I trust your judgment regarding people, and I have nothing against them (even though I think I would have some issues interacting with Argento); I just feel that they are two overhyped groups: their works are not bad at all, indeed much more than common albums. But there is better out there, and so far the FT haven’t done anything comparable to Shining I, they’ve come close. However, compared to the Swedes, the FT are not "done," so it’s always possible for them to come up with something monumental: in that case, I will be the first to praise them in these pages.

Thanks to Norvheim, there's no need to add anything else; we are in tune.
To Fallen: Hi Fallen, don’t worry about the vote; I’m not writing for that.
In the end, we don’t see it in a very different way: I simply refuse to consider the Italian scene as so behind compared to the European ones; I wish it offered more. So, Kosmokrator (good, but a compilation album, like the first, the only studio one; non ducor doesn’t seem that great to me) and Spingtime (or even Songs to Leave), while considering them good albums, definitely above average, and a little more, I don’t find them excellent, perhaps due to the presence of more original and significant Italian bands (I’ve mentioned them, but in the black scene there are a few others) and also because of that sense of incompleteness that prevents me from appreciating them 100%. I simply believe that in depressive metal there are too many better than FT to praise them, and in black metal in general, there are countless more convincing ones than SEW. Keep going.

You have the opportunity to publicly apologize for that unfortunate comment about housewives and straight-A girls. This is a warning... I'm not joking.

Thank you. I also hadn't bought any records for a year and a half, then I started again in September. With the internet, you can easily catch up on lost years in just a few days.

go elsewhere.

mmmm I actually think the opposite... I've always considered Behexen to be the most Finnish band... curious, right? It's always the same people playing, but it seems to me that Sargeist has a more Norwegian sound, somewhat in between Mayhem and Satyricon, more airy in their sound, unlike Horna and Behexen (just think that the quintessential Finnish sound is that of Beherit), Satanic, Calvarium, etc. Great review, I had read it a while back, very heartfelt; I based my decision on it whether to get it as I was undecided. Thanks.
