"The information about Peter Kubik's death, unfortunately, would have made your tribute even more touching if included in the body of the review." The review had been written long before PK's death :/

Anyway, I'm not a fake of sfascia, but a fake of the fake of sfascia who in turn is a fake of mine, but who pretends to be a fake of sfascia. Got it, right?

Slam in house page? DREAM OR AM I AWAKE

Four Tet on autopilot, but (at times) it's still good old Four Tet.

Last track really beautiful, the rest a bit too predictable for how they have always trained us... and anyway nothing goes to waste haha

KVLTO's disc is brutal and hallucinatory! I’m really glad they are back with an excellent album this year.

By the way, since it seems you really enjoy the genre, I highly recommend BRAINOIL. Another Californian band with a nice rancid and nihilistic sludge/doom sound and a short discography, but of the highest quality and, in my opinion, greatly underrated!

I've always liked metalcore, from one-dimensional stuff like Hatebreed to the frenzy of Converge, from All Out War to Earth Crisis, from Shai Hulud to the bands you mentioned and many more.

They're devastating! It's a shame they lasted such a short time, even though they released this bomb of an album and an equally brutal EP!

While I admit that I’ve never listened to anything else by Linkin Park except for "Hybrid Theory" and "Meteora" (two albums that I still like and that nostalgically tell small parts of my adolescence), I would have preferred if they had 'changed their name' rather than deciding to start over.

Although the intent is not to replace but to start from scratch, it's undeniable that certain bands exist in absolute symbiosis with the voice of their singer, and for me, it is really difficult, if not impossible, to imagine them – and therefore listen to them – without the vocal chords that made them great and unique. I would never listen to Korn without Jonathan Davis. I would never listen to Metallica without James Hetfield. I would never listen to The Bad Seeds without Nick Cave, nor Tool without Maynard Keenan, nor Deftones without Chino Moreno. And I have never listened to Alice in Chains without Layne Staley. However, I understand that perhaps it’s simply my limitation, since you're not the first person I've read who is very enthusiastic about this new path of theirs. Great review!

R.I.P. Peter Kubik / P.K. founding member of ABIGOR and guitarist since the beginning, from the demo "Ash Nazg..." (1993), died by suicide at the age of 49.

New album on the way... with a definitely better cover! Musically, I hope they continue in the vein of "Comfort to Me" and don’t change their sound too pretentiously like the Idles did, for example.

It depends on how much of a nerd the DJ in question is! Haha, just like him and a few others who can both make you have fun with their music and let you discover artists and the stuff they've sampled... sometimes even super obscure and semi-unknown things. I also appreciate those who create well-thought-out electronic music DJ mixes, but they're a rarity these days. Most just copy Spotify’s automatic playlists, maybe even building a career on it. Bleah

(I miss this one from him anyway, so I'll add it to the list! I loved his project with trumpeter Toshinori Kondo, "Ki-Oku")
